The Great Depression of the 1930s often recalls images of the
drought-stricken Great Plains. Prolonged drought exacerbated the
economic effects of the Great Depression to such a degree that the
prairies became the epicentre of the disaster in Canada. Between
1929 and 1932, per capita incomes fell by 49% in Manitoba, 61% in
Alberta and an astounding 72% in Saskatchewan. The result was
enormous social and political upheaval that sent shockwaves through
the rest of the country. In this sixth volume of the History of the
Prairie West series, contributors explore the cultural, political,
and economic repercussions of climate change and financial upheaval
on the region and its people.
