From the 1950s to the 1970s, the Canadian government relocated
people living in rural and urban communities, often against their
will, in order to alleviate the all-too-common lack of social
services and economic opportunities. Moved by the State offers a
completely new interpretation of this undertaking, focusing on the
bureaucrats and academics who designed and implemented these
relocations - and on the larger development project they were
pursuing. Tina Loo's finely crafted history reveals the optimistic
belief underpinning postwar relocations: the power of the
interventionist state to do good.
