Why Canadian Forestry and Mining Towns are Organized Differently. The Role of Staples in Shaping Community, Class, and Consciousness

2011 0-7734-1585-8
This book fills a gap in the existing scholarship on single-industry towns by reviewing an extensive literature and using it to build a theoretical framework focusing simultaneously on the spheres of industry, work, and community in these towns. It does so by building ideal types of forestry and mining towns drawn from efforts pertaining to political economy, community studies, labor history, geography and anthropology.
