Knygos aprašymas

In this study of the problems of social organization in a rural

community of Alberta, a drought-afflicted wheat-growing area centring round the town

of Hanna is described as it appeared to the sociologist in 1946.
Dr Burnet

examines geographical and economic conditions in Hanna, and shows how farming

practices, ways of living, and modes of tenure brought into the area from more humid

regions proved ill adapted to the dry belt and delayed economic adjustment. In turn,

the difficulties in the realm of economics had adverse social and cultural

consequences in both the households and the community as a whole.
The Hanna

area was chosen for study, though not altogether typical, because it revealed more

clearly than other areas not so severely hit by the drought of the 1930s the kind of

disturbances within the Alberta social structure which made possible the rise of the

Social Credit movement.
