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.
