Description
Focusing on Vancouver's social history, the essays written for this
special edition of BC Studies treat hitherto neglected areas of the
city's past and bring new insights into how its residents lived and
worked. Receiving particular attention is the socio-economic and
residential structure of Vancouver with one author arguing that the
city's economy created an urban working class which was at once
more complex and politically more conservative than that of the highly
polarized communities on Vancouver Island and in the Interior.
