Barry Broadfoot "Ten Lost Years, 1929-1939"
Stoddart+publishing 1997 0773770941 / 9780773770942 Paperback Good
"'() Hundreds of ordinary Canadians tell their own stories in this book. They tell them in their own words, and the impact is astonishing. As page after page of unforgettable stories rolls by, it is easy to see why this book sold 300,000 copies and why a successful stage play that ran for years was based on them. The stories, and the 52 accompanying photographs, tell of an extraordinary time. One tells how a greedy Maritime landlord ho tried to raise a widow's rent was tarred and gravelled: another how rape by the boss was part of a waitress's job. Other stories show Saskatchewan families watching their farms turn into deserts and walking away from them: or freight-trains black with hoboes clinging to them, criss-crossing the country in search of work: or a man stealing a wreath for his own wife's funeral. Throughout this portrait of the era before Canada had a social safety net, there are amazing stories of what Time magazine called ''human tragedy and moral triumph during the hard'''' ID: mon0000085114"

Harpercollins 1986 0888945191 / 9780888945198 Hardcover Very Good

Broadfoot has chosen a wide range of personal anecdotes from Canadian immigrants and has scattered contrasting views at random. The book explores a number of themes: reason for emigration: language and cultural problems: employment: citizenship: as well as a chapter devoted to war brides. ID: mon0000004513"

"Broadfoot, Barry" "Years Of Sorrow, Years of Shame: The Story Of The Japanese Canadians in World War II"
Paperjacks 1979 0770100910 / 9780770100919 Paperback Very Good
"Paperback, Very Good, clean, tight, unmarked, Years of Shame lets the Japanese, and other Canadians who lived through this terrible time, tell in their own words the story of a people uprooted and changed irrevocably in the aftermath of Pearl Harbour. This book is a witness to a frightening episode from our recent past, one we should not forget - lest it happen again. The author lets Japanese and Canadians who lived through this terrible time tell the story in their own words. The tale is often shocking, often heart-breaking, though at times recalled with humour. This book is not polemic, nor is it an apology. Rather, it is a witness to a frightening episode from our recent past. ID: mon0000016211"
