It Offers Sweeping Descriptions Of The Forces That Led To The Settlement Of The West, And Examines How Those Same Forces, Controlled From Eastern Canada, Are Causing The Inexorable Decline Of Many Rural Communities. Grass Roots Is A Superb Portrait Of An Imperilled Way Of Life, Combining Economics, History And Politics With A Remarkable Eye For Storytelling. Nº de ref. del artículo: 007434
