Description - Families in Transition by Peter Gossage
Economic and social conditions in Saint-Hyacinthe changed dramatically in the late 19th century with the arrival of the railway and the emergence of manufacturing industry. This book aims to demonstrate the extent to which stereotypes about family life in Quebec before the Quiet Revolution need to be revisited. Far from being passive, static, uniformly prolific, and constrained by religious and cultural perspectives, Saint-Hyacinthe families responded quickly to the changing realities of the day, reinventing marriage patterns and domestic arrangements to fit the new industrial capitalism of the 19th century.
