In turn,   the difficulties in the realm of economics had adverse social and cultural   consequences in both the households and the community as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Hanna   area was chosen for study, though not altogether typical, because it revealed more   clearly than other areas not so severely hit by the drought of the 1930s the kind of   disturbances within the Alberta social structure which made possible the rise of the   Social Credit movement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47155082559728,"sku":"9781442651098","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442651098_p0.jpg?v=1763806888","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442651098","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
