State and Society in Transition: The Politics of Institutional Reform in the Eastern Townships, 1838-1852
|
| Abstract |
A study of the southeastern counties of the Eastern Townships, the Sherbrooke elite, the birth of municipal government in Canada East and reaction to legislation dealing with education and commerce. The author traces the complex relationship between community life and government regulation, revealing that at the same time that development of responsible government was leading to increasingly centralized authority at the colonial government level, a persistent sense of localism was forcing the state to decentralize its key institutions at the community level.
