Creating a Modern Countryside: Liberalism and Land Resettlement in British Columbia (Nature | History | Society)

James Murton

4.9/5 (28158 ratings)

Description:In the early 1900s, British Columbia embarked on a brief but intense effort to manufacture a modern countryside. The government wished to reward Great War veterans with new lives: settlers would benefit from living in a rural community, considered a more healthy and moral alternative to urban life. But the fundamental reason for the land resettlement project was the rise of progressive or “new liberal” thinking, as reformers advocated an expanded role for the state in guaranteeing the prosperity and economic security of its citizens. James Murton examines how this process unfolded, and demonstrates how the human-environment relationship of the early twentieth century shaped the province as it is today.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
