Synopsis

This book presents a rich analysis of the United Farmers of Alberta political movement, framing it within the context of the broader farmers' movement across Canada in the early 20th century. It explores the motives, beliefs, motivations and socio-economic factors that gave rise to agrarian discontent, examining how these dissenting farmers' political aspirations unfolded at a provincial level, shaped by local conditions and political environments. The book asserts that the UFA, whilst embracing the ideals of the national farmers' movement, forged its own unique path, emphasizing democratic participation, the professionalization of politics, and the reduction of party dominance. In a time of great economic and social change, the author shows how the UFA emerged as a powerful force, advocating for agricultural interests and leaving an indelible mark on the political landscape of Alberta.
