Review of \u3ci\u3eAlberta\u27s Day Care Controversy: From 1908 to 2009-and Beyond. \u3c/i\u3eBy Tom Langford.

This is a carefully crafted, meticulously researched gem of a book exploring the history and intrigues of Alberta\u27s controversies and struggles concerning child care, focused on the period since the 1960s. It is a work of historical sociology analyzing the interaction of social and political forces in Alberta clashing over the effects of child care in promoting changes in women\u27s roles, over the negative effects of commercial child care on quality, and over the appropriate amount and type of support that governments vs. families should provide for child care. That description may make it sound too analytical and boring, but what is wonderful about Tom Langford\u27s account is how it makes these controversies lively, detailed, and personal, through the use of archival research and contemporary interviews with historical figures
