En été Jêrri ne nos appartcheint pas: Tourism, ‘patois’ and the press in France and Jersey, c.1890–1960
The growth of tourism and the development of cultural regionalism were closely entwined in late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Europe. Advocates of the cultivation of regional culture promoted regional dress, architecture, and cuisine, which tourist guidebooks in turn presented as attractive to a region’s would-be visitors. Language, however, could seem a potential sticking point: whilst regionalists favoured the preservation on linguist…
The Persistence of Aboriginal Land Use: Fish and Wildlife Harvest Areas in the Hudson and James Bay Lowland, Ontario
The question of the extent and importance of contemporary aboriginal land use in the Canadian North remains controversial, despite more than 20 studies undertaken since the mid-1970s to document Native land claims and to assess impacts of development projects. In planning a community and regional development strategy that takes into account traditional land use and economy, methodologies were developed for a computer-based, integrated land use an…
Aboriginal Harvesting in the Moose River Basin: A Historical and Contemporary Analysis
Les territoires traditionnels de chasse et de trappe des Cris dans les régions méridionales du bassin de Moose River ont été infiltrés au début du XXe siècle, par les colons euro‐canadiens et l'exploitation des ressources qui s'est ensuivie, avec l'encouragement actif du gouvernement provincial. Après la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, ces tendances se sont également propagées au nord du bassin. Selon de nombreux contemporains, l'économie basée sur la …

Wildlife Harvesting and Sustainable Regional Native Economy in the Hudson and James Bay Lowland, Ontario
To assist the Omushkego Cree in planning a community and regional economic development strategy that takes into account the traditional economy, we developed appropriate methodologies to investigate the quantitative importance and economic value of hunting and fishing for the Mushkegowuk region, Hudson and James Bay Lowland. Harvests of wildlife by the 6500 aboriginal residents of eight communities - Moose Factory, Moosonee, New Post, Fort Albany…

Land Use Changes in Europe: Processes of Change, Environmental Transformations and Future Patterns
Patterns of land use in Europe owe much to the boundaries set by the natural environment. The alterations imposed by man are still ultimately constrained by natural limitations of which climate pays a major role. Possible global climatic change, therefore, is likely to have a major effect on land use patterns and this is the first volume to describe the potential changes against the background of historical land use changes in Europe, the likely …

The Taso Research Program: Retrospect and Prospect
Collaborative interdisciplinary research teams are still rel atively unusual within the social sciences. Teams that combine both social and physical scientists are even more rare. Yet there are major research opportunities and challenges offered when distinct, yet com plementary, foci of expertise are brought to bear on a common empiri cal problem. In this paper, we begin by introducing McMaster University's Re search Program for Technology Asses…

Going in Between”: The Impact of European Technology on the Work Patterns of the West Main Cree of Northern Ontario
The West Main Cree of northern Ontario adapted readily but selectively to the European technologies and institutions made available by the fur trade. Yet some basic cultural and psychological differences regarding the accumulation of wealth, attitudes to work, and dependence on relief and government transfers complicated Indian-European relations. In a rational attempt to compromise among today's complex choices, the Cree have abandoned their tra…
On Regression Models with Observation-Specific Dummy Variables
The Courts and the Development of Trade in Upper Canada, 1830–1860
The centrality of transportation improvements and financial institutions to the economic development of Upper Canada in the first half of the nineteenth century is well known. In this article, Professor George and Mr. Sworden argue that the evolving legal system and legal institutions also played an important role as part of the infrastructure contributing to increased economic efficiency. In support of their thesis, they draw on court decisions …

Ontario Members of Parliament: Determinants of Their Voting Behavior in Canada’s First Parliament, 1867–1872
The historiographical hegemony of the “new” social history in recent years reflects, and undoubtedly has contributed to, the decline of scholarly interest in nineteenth-century Canadian political history. What we know now of federal and provincial parties, politics, politicians, electorates, political leadership, and parliamentary behaviour in Victorian Canada derives from the studies of a generation of scholars whose major contributions to the l…

Towards a Two‐dimensional Analysis of Welfare Ideologies
This article provides a critical analysis of some accounts of welfare ideologies which have appeared in the last eight years. It is argued that in these accounts welfare ideologies have been presented as ranged along a continuum from “anti‐collectivist”, “market liberal”, or “residual” to “Marxist” or “structural” with intermediate positions variously described as “political liberal”, “reluctant collectivist”, “social democratic”, “Fabian sociali…

Socio-Economic Influences on School Attendance: A Study of a Canadian County in 1871
A RECENT SPECIAL ISSUE of Quarterly (1) was devoted to Education and Social Change in English-Speaking Canada. In his interesting and impressive contribution to this issue, Michael B. Katz suggested that many hypotheses (2) concerning determinants of school attendance may be tested by employing data relating to the status and structure of family and household contained in manuscript census. By starting with census one may study gross patterns of …
