Creator
Woolfson, A. Peter
Description
How the Québécois farmer of the 1980s - confronted with urbanization and industrialization - compares with the agricultural traditions and longheld assumptions about Québec "habitant" ways of life. Based on a case study of farm business, farming, and farm families from La Visitation, outside of Nicolette, Québec. Frequent comparisons made to Horace Miner's 1939 landmark text, "St. Denis: A French-Canadian Parish."
