Download or read book Colonization and Community written by John Douglas Belshaw and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2002 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although immigrants from the United States, China, and elsewhere were part of the workforce brought in between 1850 and 1900 to man the mining industry of Vancouver Island, the largest group of miners was born in Britain. Belshaw (philosophy, history, and politics, U. College of the Cariboo, Canada) explores the aspirations, motivations, and experiences of these British immigrants, who formed the core of British Columbia's first industrial working class. He attempts a holistic examination that details the group's demographic features, its responses to day-to-day life under industrial capitalism, and its cultural development and explores the lives of the miners, their families, and their communities.

Download or read book Becoming British Columbia written by John Belshaw and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Becoming British Columbia is the first comprehensive, demographic history of British Columbia. Investigating critical moments in the demographic record and linking demographic patterns to larger social and political questions, it shows how biology, politics, and history conspired with sex, death, and migration to create a particular kind of society. John Belshaw overturns the widespread tendency to associate population growth with progress. He reveals that the province has a long tradition of thinking and acting vigorously in ways meant to control and shape biological communities of humans, and suggests that imperialism, race, class, and gender have historically situated population issues at the centre of public consciousness in British Columbia.
Download or read book Indigenous Peoples and Demography written by Per Axelsson and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When researchers want to study indigenous populations they are dependent upon the highly variable way in which states or territories enumerate, categorise and differentiate indigenous people. In this volume, anthropologists, historians, demographers and sociologists have come together for the first time to examine the historical and contemporary construct of indigenous people in a number of fascinating geographical contexts around the world, including Canada, the United States, Colombia, Russia, Scandinavia, the Balkans and Australia. Using historical and demographical evidence, the contributors explore the creation and validity of categories for enumerating indigenous populations, the use and misuse of ethnic markers, micro-demographic investigations, and demographic databases, and thereby show how the situation varies substantially between countries.

Book excerpt: 'Dawn, and as the sun breaks through the piercing chill of night on the plain outside Korem it lights up a biblical famine, now, in the Twentieth Century.' Those words opened Michael Buerk's first report on the Ethiopian famine for the 6 o'clock news on October 24th 1984. His reports sent shock waves round the world. The Live Aid concert, a direct consequence of Bob Geldof watching that broadcast, was watched by half the planet. Michael Buerk has reported on some of the biggest stories in our lifetime: the Flixborough chemical plant fire, the Birmingham pub bombing, Lockerbie. He was in Buenos Aires at the start of the Falklands War; he reported the death throes of apartheid in South Africa. He was the face of the BBC flagship evening news for many years and has fronted everything from the popular BBC1 series 999 to the erudite Radio 4 programme The Moral Maze. He has won every major award and is universally admired and respected for his intelligent and honest journalism. Here, he also reveals the private Michael Buerk, his bigamist father, his long and happy marriage to Christine and his delight at fatherhood.
Download or read book The Old Red Shirt written by Yvonne Klan and published by Transmontanus. This book was released on 2004 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to BC's frontier days, when loggers and laundresses penned poetry, and entertainment consisted of reciting verse 'round the fire. The Old Red Shirt is a rollicking collection of old-fashioned pioneer poetry. Selected by longtime amateur BC historian Yvonne Klan, the poems address the social issues of the day, teach moral lessons, and reflect the unique atmosphere of the province's early days. Klan's lively and informative prose introduces us to the larger-than-life characters behind the verses. Read about Dr. George Dawson, Dawson Creek's namesake, a hunchbacked man who explored the province and penned surprisingly delicate poetry about geography and rocks. Shed a tear for John Fraser, son of Simon, who lost his fortune to the Caribou Gold Rush and slit his own throat at the age of 32. Shout hurrah for the hurdy-gurdy lasses as they play havoc with the hearts of the gold-digging lads. The Old Red Shirt is by turns colourful, tragic and funny. The Old Red Shirt is Number 12 in the Transmontanus series edited by Terry Glavin.
