What is Minetown, Milltown, Railtown: Life in Canadian Communities of Single Industry (Wynford Books) about?

<p>The company town, source of so much of Canada's wealth, was-and is-a place with nowhere to hide. First published in 1971, Rex Lucas' Minetown, Milltown, Railtown is a groundbreaking study of what it's like to live in such communities. Today, with the oil-sands boom and rising commodity prices affecting everything from the value of the Canadian dollar to the balance of power within Confederation, single-industry towns remain as central as ever to the country's economic and social life. Minetown, Milltown, Railtown is a compelling portrait not just of Canada's past, but of its present and future, too.</p> <p>A new introduction by well-known Canadian sociologist Lorne Tepperman puts Lucas' groundbreaking research in a contemporary context, and firmly shows that Minetown remains deeply relevant today.</p> <p>Minetown, Milltown, Railtown: Life in Canadian Communities of Single Industry is a WYNFORD book-one of a series of titles representing significant milestones in Canadian literature, thought, and scholarship, made available once again to a new generation of readers.</p>
