Description

"The Politics of Population provides a detailed account of the political and social context in which census making developed in Canada. It discusses census making as a political project, investigating its place in and impact on party politics and ethnic, religious, and sectional struggles. It also looks closely at census making as an administrative practice, identifying the main census managers and outlining the organization of five attempts at census making between 1842 and 1850, before describing how census making finally unfolded between 1852 and 1871."--BOOK JACKET.
