Urbanization is a fact of Canadian life. With approximately 80 per cent of Canadians residing in cities, it is imperative that students understand the issues associated with urban living. Urban Canada, Second Edition is a contributed volume that approaches the study of city life in two ways. A demographic approach examines the movements of people to cities, while a socio-cultural one emphasizes the pervasiveness of urban-oriented thinking, culture, and organization within society. This edition has been updated with completely rewritten chapters Urban Inequality and Aboriginal Peoples, in addition to two brand new chapters on The Sociology of Housing and Consumer Culture. Urban Canada provides a succinct discussion of urban issues from a uniquely Canadian perspective.

Explosive economic growth in resource-rich Alberta has led to a stunning increase in its population. In contrast to Ontario and British Columbia, which have grown primarily through international migration, Alberta has become a magnet for internal migrants, contributing to population redistribution within Canada with significant national social, and economic consequences. Combining statistical analysis and ethnographic study, Harry Hiller uncovers two waves of in-migration to Alberta. His innovative approach begins with the individual migrant and analyzes the relocation experience from origin to destination. Through interviews with hundreds of migrants, Hiller shows that migration is complex and dynamic, shaped not just by what Alberta offers but also by a process that begins in the region of origin and helps determine whether migrants stay or return home. By combining a social psychological approach with structural factors such as Alberta's transition from a regional hinterland province to its emerging role in the global system, discussions of gender, the internet, and folk culture, Second Promised Land provides a multi-dimensional and deeply human account of a contemporary Canadian phenomenon. "A fascinating and well-written book and an important contribution to migration literature. Especially compelling is the migration experience explained from the point of view of the migrants themselves." Frank Trovato, University of Alberta
