Book Synopsis Obligation and Opportunity by : Mary Elizabeth Beattie
Download or read book Obligation and Opportunity written by Mary Elizabeth Beattie and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2000 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years between Confederation and the Depression nearly 500,000 Maritimers left their homes to work in the United States or other parts of Canada. Why they left and how their departure affected the region's economy have long been debated but, until now, a major component of that exodus has been largely ignored. In Obligation and Opportunity Betsy Beattie addresses this oversight, examining the lives of the tens of thousands of single Maritime women who left to work in Boston between 1870 and 1930. Carefully crafted from oral interviews, diaries, letters, written recollections, census data, and other historical sources, Obligation and Opportunity opens a window into the world of the women who moved from the Maritimes to New England for work. Urged to stay through tales of danger and woe in the newspapers, they still left by the thousands, and in numbers larger than those for men. Beattie examines the rural families they left, the urban environment they entered in Boston, and the different occupations they filled. She sheds new light on the response of rural families to economic change and the effects of gender on choices for young women. She demonstrates that first-generation emigrants, who left out of a need to find work and send money back home, eased the way for second-generation emigrants, who left to seek opportunities in the big city. Obligation and Opportunity offers new insights not only for everyone interested in the history of the Maritimes and Boston but also for scholars and others interested in family history, women's studies, labour history, and migration studies.

Download or read book Away written by Gary Burrill and published by MQUP. This book was released on 1992-06-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "These accounts are not `interviews' in the sense of structured sets of questions and answers. Rather, time and time again, as I introduced myself and my subject by explaining something about the theme of leaving home in Maritime history, some kind of chord was struck in the self-understanding of those I spoke with, and we then spent an hour, an afternoon, or a day recording a conversation about the place of leaving home in their lives and in their thinking." from the Preface In Away, Gary Burrill presents the voices of Maritimers in exile as they talk about their decisions to leave home, their experiences moving to and establishing themselves in new areas, and the way their exile from the Maritime provinces of Canada has shaped their views of themselves, their adopted communities, and their native homes. Each of the book's three sections deals largely with the experiences of a generation. From the turn of the century to the 1920s and 1930s, Maritimers looked primarily to Boston for work when they made their decision to leave home; during the economic expansion that followed the Second World War, southern Ontario was the destination of choice; when western Canada experienced an "oil boom" in the 1970s and early 1980s, a younger generation of Maritimers was drawn to Alberta. Taken together, the reflections and autobiographical reminiscences of these Maritimers provide a broad geographical and generational picture of the experience at the centre of post-Confederation life in the Maritimes -- exile, out-migration, going away.
