The first part examines historical and contemporary forces of restructuring, linking the way in which rural communities have developed with the legacy of resource development and Aboriginal marginalization. The second part presents the theoretical and practical dynamics of the community economic development process and outlines various strategies that communities can initiate to diversify their local economies."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 316-329) and index Notes Master and use copy.
