John Porter's landmark study of social and ethnic inequality, The
Vertical Mosaic, became an instant classic when it was first
published in 1965. A national best seller that sold more than
100,000 copies, the book was the first major study of Canada's
class structure and one of the foundational texts in Canadian
sociology. Sociologist Irving Louis Horowitz described it as "the
sociological study of present-day Canada." Fifty years later, the
book retains vast significance both for its powerful critique of
social exclusivity in a country that prides itself on equality and
diversity and for its influence on generations of sociological
researchers. The 50th Anniversary Edition features new material
which contextualizes the legacy of this important book: a foreword
by Porter's colleague, Wallace Clement, and his biographer, Rick
Helmes-Hayes, and a new introductory essay by historian Jack Jedwab
and sociologist Vic Satzewich.
