Popis: Between Colliding Worlds: The Ambiguous Existence of Government Agencies for Aboriginal and Women's Policy, Jonathan Malloy, Toronto: University of Toronto Press/IPAC, 2003, pp. x, 217.This book explores the complex relationship between “special policy agencies” created to address the needs of specific social groups, and the social movements that arise to advocate for these groups. Its main premise is that special policy agencies exist in a state of permanent—and highly useful—ambiguity, forming a conduit that enables the conflicting worlds of social movements and governments to articulate their highly distinct agendas in a manner comprehensible to both “worlds.”
