“…There has been no equivalent book written about the development of the study of class in Canada during the same period. Research has been limited to discussions of major concepts and approaches, key figures, and major books (e.g., Brym, 1989;Clement, 1983;Helmes-Hayes, 1988;Helmes-Hayes & Wilcox-Magill, 1993). One major reason for this gap is that sociology was not institutionalized on a widespread basis in Canadian universities until after the middle of the twentieth century.…”

In French Canada in Transition (1943) and a set of related essays written between 1933 and 1941, Everett Hughes, a key figure in the “Second Chicago School” of sociology developed a novel and noteworthy conceptualization of social class. This contribution, which was not recognized outside of French‐language sociology in Quebec, was an integral element of Hughes's “interpretive institutional ecology” theoretical frame of reference. It combined elements of the classical ecological theory of class (human ecology, functionalism, Simmel), aspects of a Weber‐inspired analysis of class, status, and political power, and elements of a proto‐dependency analysis of Quebec's industrialization in the 1930s. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

“…21 Only a few Ph.D.s had been awarded, many from the University of Toronto (Brym 1989: 18), 22 there was little research funding available, 23 and there was only a small amount of research in progress. There was no such thing as a specialized "sociology" journal and there was no truly "Canadian" sociology textbook; only a dated, Chicago-style textbook by Carl Dawson and American functionalist Warner E. Gettys (Dawson and Gettys 1929, 1935, 1948) that had little Canadian content (Helmes-Hayes 1994). There existed no independent scholarly-professional organization of the type represented by the ASA.…”

Les études dans lesquelles il est question des différences entre les régions du Canada mentionnent souvent un phénomène appelé le «syndrome des polarités»; il s'agit de la tendance à l'augmentation, d'est en ouest, des taux de plusieurs indicateurs sociaux, dont le divorce, le suicide et la criminalité. L'auteur de cette communication, estimant que ce syndrome appartient plutǒt à l'histoire, démontre que les taux de suicide et de divorce convergent dans toutes les régions canadiennes depuis 1921 et met cette tendance en relation avec les résultats d'une analyse récente des taux de criminalité régionaux. The ‘syndrome of polarities’ whereby rates for social indicators such as divorce, suicide, and crime rise from east to west is often noted in studies of Canadian regional differences. There are, however, reasons to view this polarity as an historical remnant, and the paper shows a convergence in regional suicide and divorce rates since 1921. The trend is tied in with a recent analysis of regional crime rates.
