Lower-class and upper-class residents might have different memories of those days, but on one thing they would agree: it is a much different world in rural Ontario today. The old guard has lost most of its power, displaced partly by ?big brother? in the form of bureaucracy, and new comers from the city in search of affordable housing?even if it means commuting daily to work. Unlike their British-origin predecessors, the newcomers who have begun to appear in the countryside represent a wide range of ethnic and economic backgrounds.Paradise concentrates on the transformed class system of one community in rural Ontario. In a comparison of the decade following the First World War and the 1980s, Stanley R. Barrett analyses the changing face and structure of a town as it has had to adapt to modern social and economic realities. Particular attention is paid to the phenomenon of the commuter in search of affordable housing and the influx of immigrants of varied ethnic backgrounds, and the interaction between these newcomers and long-term residents. What is striking is just how massive the changes in small-town Ontario have been since the Second World War?to the extent of almost obliterating long-assumed distinctions between rural and urban society. 410 0$aAnthropological horizons ;$v5. 606 $aSociology, Rural$zOntario 606 $aSocial classes$zOntario 606 $aUrban-rural migration$zOntario 607 $aOntario$xRace relations 607 $aOntario$xEthnic relations 607 $aOntario$xRural conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSociology, Rural 615 0$aSocial classes 615 0$aUrban-rural migration 676 $a307.72/09713 700 $aBarrett$b Stanley R.$0972787 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460666603321 996 $aParadise$92212850 997 $aUNINA
