Summary:
"Prior to the implementation of the
Equal
Opportunity
Program
in the 1960s, most
New
Brunswickers, many of them Francophone, lived with limited access to welfare, education, and health services.
New
Brunswick
's
social
services framework was similar to that of nineteenth-century England, and many people experienced the patronizing attitudes inherent in these laws.
New
Brunswick
Before
Equal
Opportunity
examines the observations and experiences of
New
Brunswick
's early
social
workers, who operated under this system, and illuminates how Premier Louis J. Robichaud's
Equal
Opportunity
Program
transformed the province's
social
services. Authors Laurel Lewey, Louis J. Richard and Linda Turner, describe more than a century of
social
work
history
, including the
work
of the earliest Acadian
social
workers. They also address the fact that the federal government did not take responsibility for
social
welfare of the Mi'kmaq and Maliseet people, planning for assimilation instead. Clan structures continued to be relied on while subsisting upon inadequate relief provisions."--From publisher.
