Product Description
Unlike every other developed nation in the world, in the 1980s there were few midwives in Canada and their practice was neither legal nor officially recognized. Ontario midwives and their supporters pushed to integrate midwifery into provincial health care systems and by 1993 had successfully established an internationally renowned model. Ivy Lynn Bourgeault analyses the struggle to professionalize midwifery in the context of contemporary negotiations between women, as both consumers and providers of health care, and the state. Push! offers an historical account of the forces behind the integration of midwifery in Ontario, including public interest in funding midwifery services and the impact of political lobbying. Bourgeault also explores the specific features of Ontario's respected model, including the use of independent practitioners, government funding for a self-regulatory college, a university-based education program, and the provision of midwifery care in both home and hospital settings. ...

Product Description
The community of Aboriginal groups and fur trade society that had initially developed at Porcupine-Iroquois Falls (c. 1660-1905) was displaced early in the twentieth century by newcomers drawn to the opportunities offered by mining, agriculture, and pulp and paper production. The newcomers came from many different cultural backgrounds, which led to divisions in the towns and villages they created. By the mid-twentieth century, however, a community identity had been built on shared experience, hostility towards the "South" and certain ethnic groups, and an imagined sense of northern uniqueness. "Changing Places" rejects traditional sociological and anthropological models about community and identity in favor of a more nuanced interpretation that takes historical process into account. Drawing from archival, oral, and newspaper sources, Kerry Abel examines the process by which a relatively coherent community emerged in the sub-region of Northern Ontario bounded by Timmins, Iroquois Falls, and Matheson and provides the only comprehensive history of this area. ...
