Résumé

La politique sur l'équité en matière d'emploi de la Colombie Britannique a passé par un contre-coup de derrière corrosif, comparée à la politique plus classique de l'Ontario, ou le contre-coup de devant sous un changement de régime néolibéral similaire. En nous servant d'entrevues et d'analyse de politique, nous documentons ce processus. Comprendre les variations locales du phénomène de contre-coup est important aux stratégies pour combattre l'oppression et la discrimination systémique.
