Extractions: Beausejour Fair on Ashton Avenue, c. 1925 Movement of people into the Parkland/Mixed-Woods region of Manitoba was the result of factors at work both in Canada and in the countries from which the immigration originated. The decision to emigrate to this southern part of the province, which connected the prairies in the south to the boreal forest in the north, was the result of a variety of factors. Some common to all emigrants, others specific to each particular group. The experiences and interactions of these groups have created the constantly changing social and cultural life of the region. Judging horses at Reston Fair, c. 1920 Both governments and individuals promoted and expedited the movement of people from their original homeland to the Parkland region. Just as the motives of the emigrants were varied, so were the possible motives of those who made the journeys possible. Governments limited access to the region, using criteria such as ethnicity, vocation, class and gender. Immigrants were not always welcomed to the Parklands by earlier settlers or Canadian society at large. Their degree of acceptance depended to a large part on their ethnic origin and economic status, according to an informal hierarchy of racial superiority. These attitudes were widely expressed in the press and the politics of the day. Aerial view of parade going down the main street of [ Each ethno-cultural group which migrated to rural Manitoba brought its own unique forms of cultural expression and techniques of adaptation to the specific environmental and socio-economic niches in the region. These are reflected in economic development and political expression, in religious life, in everyday lifestyles, and in the evolving popular culture of the Parklands region.

Extractions: FIRST IMPROVERS AN EARLY AGRICULTURAL ESSAY FIRST IMPROVERSA SMALL SOCIETY OF FARMERS IN BUCHANAN EARLY AGRICULTURAL ESSAY. These worthy men were thus content scrupulously to adhere to the modes of farming they had learnt by "tradition"; and in place of hunting after novelty or change in the way of alleged improvement, they only sought to stereotype established practice, and put on record well-proved methods for their own convenience and the behoof of posterity. The land, they go on to say, was divided, in the common course of husbandry, into "bear land, bear root, and awal bear root." They first give rules for the ploughing of the bear land; a "break" followed by a " clean furrow ;" the latter, which covered in the dung, being given as late as possibleat the end of April or beginning of Mayin order to prevent that growth which "infallibly disheartens the field for corn, when it gets footing by ploughing bear land early." The "growth" here spoken Harrowing down weeds among the briard, then, is strongly recommended; and "because they cannot be suppressed at once, they ought to be torn up as oft as they appear until the brier begin to recover after stocking." No method yet tried had proved so effectual with the weeds as this of tearing them up with iron-tined harrows; "and," say the essayists, "if any one apprehends loss by the harrowing his brie; we do assure him that that scruple is contrary to experience, several of our own number having followed the above directions with great success."

Back to Top Summary This paper outlines the social and environmental reasons why the international development community should give higher priority to helping poor people, especially those in areas that are biophysically marginal or socio-economically marginalized. Sustainable rural development depends on successfully addressing the twin challenges of poverty and environmental degradation. There are 1.2 billion people living in extreme poverty, and of these, 900 million live in rural areas where they depend directly or indirectly on agriculture to survive. The paper gives a brief overview of rural development in the context of the Millennium Development Goals and Agenda 21
Extractions: During the first half of the twentieth century, degradation, poverty, and hopelessness were commonplace for African Americans who lived in the South's countryside, either on farms or in rural communities. Many southern blacks sought relief from these conditions by migrating to urban centers. Many others, however, continued to live in rural areas. Scholars of African American rural history in the South have been concerned primarily with the experience of blacks as sharecroppers, tenant farmers, textile workers, and miners. Less attention has been given to other aspects of the rural African American experience during the early twentieth century. African American Life in the Rural South, 1900-1950 provides important new information about African American culture, social life, and religion, as well as economics, federal policy, migration, and civil rights. The essays particularly emphasize the efforts of African Americans to negotiate the white world in the southern countryside. Filling a void in southern studies, this outstanding collection provides a substantive overview of the subject. Scholars, students, and teachers of African American, southern, agricultural, and rural history will find this work invaluable.
