Selling Out or Buying in? by Michael Dawson
Selling Out or Buying In? is the first work to illuminate the process by which consumers' access to goods and services was liberalized and deregulated in Canada in the second half of the twentieth century."Dawson is optimistic about our own agency to break out of the prison house of consumerism.."
-- Dr. Matthew J. Bellamy * BC Studies, online *"This well-researched engaging monograph uncovers the complex debates over store-hour restrictions that shaped the retail landscape of Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia, in the post-Second World War period."
-- Vicki Howard, University of Essex * Histoire Sociale/Social History, vol 52 no 105, May '19 *"Thick descriptions of the kind presented by Dawson are valuable, and, when written engagingly, as this study is, they make for a pleasant read."
-- David Monod, Wilfrid Laurier University * University of Toronto Quarterly: Letters in Canada 2018 *Michael Dawson is Professor of History and Associate Vice-President (Research) at St. Thomas University.
