Download or read book Boom Town Blues written by Anne-Marie Mawhiney and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 1999-09 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boom Town Blues: Collapse and Revival in a Single-Industry Community tells of the Northern Ontario city of Elliot Lake, once the uranium capital of the world, which was devastated by the closing of the uranium mines operated by Denison and Rio Algom. The closures and mass layoffs were first announced in 1990 with the layoffs occurring from then until June 1996. Throughout the period after the layoffs were announced, several major research projects were undertaken. One, the Elliot Lake Tracking and Adjustment Study, follows approximately 1,000 of the laid-off miners and 530 of their spouses through their adjustment processes. Another, the Seniors Needs Assessment, examines the human resource and service needs of the increasing numbers of seniors moving to Elliot Lake as part of the community's economic strategy. In addition to these social scientific studies, several land and environmental reclamation research projects have been undertaken. Boom Town Blues: Collapse and Revival in a Single-Industry Community tells the reader about the results of these studies and gives a variety of community-based perspectives on the Elliot Lake story. The book highlights the struggles and successes of families and of the community as a whole. Boom Town Blues is about one community's struggle to survive, to shift its economic base from mining to one where retirement living for seniors, mine decommissioning, and a community-based research facility would be among several economic survival strategies. The book is of interest to readers throughout Northern Ontario and, indeed, wherever single-industry towns are threatened by major shifting in their economic base and are struggling to survive. The book also provides an excellent case study for teachers, students, policy makers, and politicians.

Book excerpt: Overview: 007-086413-2 /Softcover / 448 pp/ Copyright 2001, (11,2000) / ($41.95)Revised to ensure up-to-date coverage of key issues in accordance with its high academic reputation while introducing a new, reader-friendly design, Families: Changing Trends in Canada has always been a widely adopted text for the first course in Sociology of the Family. Maureen Baker's aim as general editor has been to create a Canadian textbook in family studies for post-secondary students, which incorporates an interdisciplinary, historical, comparative and mainly structural perspective, but which is inclusive of various theoretical perspectives. The newly added pedagogical elements will engage students taking the course at universities and community colleges.The fourth edition of Families reflects the evolving nature of the family by paying increased attention to gay, lesbian and multicultural issues. It includes updated statistics and discussion of recent legal reforms, providing students with background on three censuses and other demographic surveys, new studies in social history, recent legal debate, and the growing focus on cultural variations in families. The fourth edition also offers new theoretical approaches that incorporate poststructuralist and feminist theory in order to help students understand how family, gender relations and personal life have been influenced by "post-industrial" or "post-modern" society. Most contributors are sociologists but several have formal qualifications or a research background in psychology, education, women's studies, history and social policy. The result is a text that shows that family life in Canada, as elsewhere, is in a constant state of change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: February 1995 legislation entitled the Budget Implementation Act repealed the Canada Assistance Plan and introduced the Canada Health & Social Transfer. This publication begins with a review of the Plan, what the new Act has taken away from national social programs, the history of national standards for social programs, the federal role in setting such standards, and implications for women and the poor. Chapter 2 describes the equality commitments made by Canada both internationally and domestically. Chapter 3 examines the application of equality rights when economic policies are challenged in the courts. Chapter 4 explores more closely the content of the rights instruments available to women and sets out interpretations of equality guarantees that can be responsive to women's material inequality and that draw on the richness and complexity of Canada's equality commitments. The final chapter considers the work that women must do to ensure that both social programs and equality guarantees can be responsive to women's needs and aspirations. Future directions are suggested for women's activism, institutional reform, and government policy.
