There’s a pervasive sense of betrayal in areas scarred by mine, mill and factory closures. Steven High’s One Job Town delves into the long history of deindustrialization in the paper-making town of Sturgeon Falls, located on Canada’s resource periphery.

Trade Review
"One Job Town is simply one of the finest books written about Northern Ontario. It is a model study that the academic community and, more importantly, those living in Northern Ontario will be excited about." -- Michel S. Beaulieu, Lakehead University * University of Toronto Quarterly: Letters in Canada 2018 *
