In Happyland, Curtis McManus contends that the ""Dirty Thirties"" actually began much earlier and were connected only peripherally to the Depression itself. McManus has mined the rarely consulted records of Rural Municipalities in Saskatchewan, as well as government documents, ministerial correspondence, local community histories, newspapers, and publications of relevant government departments, to tell a story of a quarter-century of stubborn persistence but also of absurdity, despair, social dislocation, moral corrosion, and inconsistent and often inept government policy. Thanks to McManus's rare and welcome blend of sound scholarship and living breathing prose, it is a gripping and evocative story as well.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CAItem Weight: 482gAuthor: Curtis McManusGenre: HistoryBook Series: WestItem Height: 226mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 22mmTopic: Business & FinanceRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
