Description

For four centuries, dykes turned salt marsh into arable land in the Bay of Fundy region of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. But by the 1940s, the aging dykes were in poor repair. Against the Tides is the never\-before\-told story of the Maritime Marshland Rehabilitation Administration, a federal agency created in 1948 to reshape the landscape. Agency engineers sometimes borrowed from long\-standing dykeland practices, but they also disregarded local conditions in building tidal dams that compromised some of the region\x27s rivers. This vivid account of a distinctive landscape and its occupants reveals the push\-pull of local and expert knowledge, and the role of the postwar state. Review "Told using primary sources that have rarely, if ever, been exploited, Against the Tides is truly something new under the sun. Rudin succeeds in making the fragmented and chaotic story of the Marshlands both understandable and highly interesting." --Matthew Hatvany, Université Laval About the Author Ronald Rudin is Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the Department of History at Concordia University. He is the author of numerous books, among them Remembering and Forgetting in Acadie: A Historians Journey through Public Memory and Kouchibouguac: Removal, Resistance, and Remembrance at a Canadian National Park. The latter received the Canadian Historical Association Clio Prize for best book on Atlantic Canada, the Canadian Oral History Association Prize, and the Prix de lAssemblée nationale from the Institut dhistoire de lAmérique française. Rudin has produced eight documentary films, most recently Unnatural Landscapes, which accompanies this book.
