Where: Prairie Ink Restaurant - McNally Robinson Grant Park

About the Book:

John Loxley's newest book 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 an important chapter on traditional Aboriginal values and culture and their relationship to the land.

His innovative work is informed by his experience at the community and senior government levels.
