A History of the Edmonton City Market 1900-2000: Urban Values and Urban Culture (Calgary: University of Calgary Press, 2001), describes and analyses one hundred years of the Edmonton City Market in a fascinating local history that appeals to general readers as well as to students of political science, sociology and urban geography. Illustrated by archival photographs, drawings, maps, and interviews with vendors and customers, the narrative accounts for how the market, despite many challenges, overcame them to flourish in the heart of a city growing from frontier outpost to metropolis. With scholarly originality, Kathryn details the inevitable tension between the values of a municipality with an agrarian hinterland and the civic aims of official government. A History of the Edmonton City Market applies sympathetic wit to an admired public institution and integrates its history comprehensively into urban politics and economic and cultural studies. (RJM)
