Saskatchewan: The Roots of Discontent and Protest - Warnock, John W.

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; While progressive on many fronts, Saskatchewan is tormented in other areas: racism against Aboriginal people remains deeply entrenched; traditional patriarchal values are strong; and with an economy based on agriculture and the export of natural resources, the province is struggling with free trade capitalism, global warming and climate change. Long an anchor for the political left in Canada, the progressive populism of the past appears to be giving way to a right wing populism as support for the Canadian Alliance and the Saskatchewan Party increases. Knowing that history is necessary to understanding how a society came to be what it is today, and using the broad, interdisciplinary social science approach of political economy analysis. Warnock traces Saskatchewan's past in an attempt to understand the present and glimpse the future. Along the way he tells the story of Saskatchewan, from inception to centennial.
