À l'ombre de l'INCO
Se plaçant dans une optique résolument matérialiste, l’auteur étude l’histoire socio-économique d’une communauté canadienne-française de la région de Sudbury entre 1890 et 1972. L’étude décrit le passage, après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, d’un mode de petite production indépendante au mode de production capitaliste et explique comment ce passage a affecté la vie des Canadiens français de Rayside-Balfour, à l’ouest de Sudbury. L’auteur concentre son attention sur la paroisse, les rapports de production et de propriété, le pouvoir religieux et laïque, et l’évolution démographique de cette population de langue française. L’ouvrage utilise de nombreux documents, pour la plupart inédits, tels que les titres de propriété du Bureau d’enregistrement des titres du district du Sudbury, les données des rôles d’évaluation, les registres des deux paroisses de langue française, les procès-verbeaux des réunions des conseils municipaux et des « Timber Books » du district de Sudbury. Des histoires de vie de pionniers et pionnières de la communauté révèlent comment ces gens ont perçu et vécu cette période de transition.
Sudbury
At the turn of the century Sudbury was a town set on the railway line, with a population of about 2,000. The community was smaller than Sault Ste. Marie and Copper Cliff to the west, and to the east, North Bay and Pembroke. Now, nearly 100 years later, Sudbury is the largest city in northeastern Ontario. it is also the centre of many governmental, business, social, educational, media, medical, and other professional services in the region. Sudbury: Rail Town to Regional Capital, which honours the centenary of the community’s incorporation as a town in 1893, analyses Sudbury decade by decade, describing the ongoing changes in the community and their impact on citizens. The book also examines the forces that shaped the city’s destiny and argues that Sudbury is far more than a single-industry town based on mining. Grounded in new research and written in an accessible style by a team of local scholars, the book, with numerous maps and photographs will appeal to urban historians as well as the general reader both within and beyond the city.

Statistical graphs, maps, and bandw photos support the text. Canadian card order number: C98-932487-7. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Feministing in Political Science
Focusing on the discipline of political science, this collection examines what is at stake in contesting the boundaries of the contemporary university. As the study of politics and political life, the mainstream of the discipline has examined power in the institutions and processes of government. But if the personal is political, political science is about much more than what happens in those institutions. This collection draws together personal essays, pedagogical interventions, dialogues, and original research to reflect on how "feministing" as an orientation and as an analytic can centre experiential knowledge and reshape our understandings of political science. Collectively, these contri...

Immigrant City
The violence and radicalism connected with the Industrial Workers of the World textile strike of 1912 in Lawrence, Massachusetts, left the popular impression that Lawrence was a slum-ridden city inhabited by un-American revolutionaries. Immigrant City is a study of Lawrence which reveals that the city was far different. The book opens with an account of the strike of 1912. It then traces the development of Lawrence from the founding of the city in 1845, when its builders hoped to establish a model mill town, through its years of immigration and growth of 1912. Donald Cole puts the strike in its proper perspective by examining the history of the city, and he emphasizes the immigrant's constan...
