John Loxley has worked in community economic development as a practitioner, advisor, teacher and scholar for over 30 years. A passionate voice for economic and social equality, his innovative work is informed by broad experience at the community and senior government levels in Africa and Canada. The wealth of that experience is reflected in this book, which grapples with the conceptual and political complexities of addressing northern and Aboriginal poverty. Loxley examines a number of possible approaches to economic development, placing each within a broader theoretical and policy perspective, and considering its growth potential and class impact. Accessible and theoretically sophisticated, the book blends international development theory with northern Canadian and Aboriginal realities. It includes important reflections on Aboriginal values and culture, and the Aboriginal relationship to the land in Canada's north. The book also evaluates the successes and failures of urban community development, and the role community economic development can play in achieving Aboriginal equality in Canada.
