URPress and JSGS are pleased to invite you to join us as Jim Farney and Dale Eisler discuss Eisler’s new book, From Left to Right: Saskatchewan’s Political and Economic Transformation.
There will be refreshments provided, and books available for purchase and signing. Please RSVP online to confirm your attendance.
About the book:
One of the most significant and under-reported stories in modern politics has been the political and economic transformation of Saskatchewan. The province that was the birthplace of the CCF-NDP and democratic socialism in North America has, over the course of the last fifty years, undergone a fundamental change that has altered its identity in political and economic terms. It is now seen as the bastion of the centre-right Saskatchewan Party, which has become one of the most dominant political provincial parties in Canada.
The story of that transformation, in which the once-powerful NDP has been relegated to the political margins, reaches far beyond the province itself and reflects global and national events that have shaped the province over the course of the last half-century.
In a fundamental way, modern Saskatchewan politics have been less about ideology and more about the influence of issues and events and the lure of populist leaders who speak to an identity rooted in the province’s history.
