White Hoods is the first book about the Hooded Empire in Canada.  Award–winning journalist and author Julian Sher traces the Canadian Ku Klux Klan from its birth in the early 1920s, through its powerful influence within Saskatchewan’s Conservative party in the 1920s and 1930s, to its renaissance under James McQuirter in the 1980s.  McQuirter led the Klan to new heights in the 1980s, until he was jailed for conspiracy to commit murder and his role in a bungled coup in the Caribbean.  Sher uses personal investigations and candid interviews, as well as unpublished studies and the Klan’s own publications to shed light on the KKK’s links with the police, with neo–Nazi movements throughout the world, and with its American counterpart.

Social work with rural peoples: Theory & practice

Collier, Ken

Social Sciences

Social workers choosing to work in smaller towns or rural communities face a different set of conditions and concerns from their city colleagues.  Ken Collier wrote his nowclassic text Social Work with Rural Peoples, for those social workers, whether they are just starting out or already in the field.  The gist of Colliers genuinely radical book is that for the rural social worker to be effective, she must be able to identify with the struggles of the people she is trying to help  that trying to maintain “professional”, “ objective” distance will merely ensure that the social worker becomes part of the problem rather than part of the solution.  For the social worker in a smaller community, “Whose side are you one?” is the most important question to be answered before any effective work can be done. It is an indictment of the slow pace of progress against the societal problems facing rural populations that a third edition of Social Work with Rural Peoples is necessary.
