Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Caroline Desbiens explores the nexus of hydroelectricity, Quebecois identity, and the cultural narratives that are used by southern Quebecois to justify resource development in the northern regions of the province. The result is a wonderfully personal and critical reflection on the culture of hydroelectricity in Quebec and "the importance of reading economic development through a cultural lens." [It] is an excellent new contribution to the Nature|History|Society series from UBC Press. It connects beautifully with the other books in the series and will compliment work on the ways in which people conceptualize and transform the north through material, and particularly discursive, formations. -- Morgan Moffitt, Department of Anthropology, University of Alberta * Journal of Polar Record *

Reseña del editor:

Power from the North will appeal to geographers, historians, policy makers, and environmentalists and anyone interested in First Nations, resource co-management, and cultural approaches to energy.
