Western Visions: Perspectives on the West in Canada - Softcover
How do Western Canadians see the national community - and how do they regard themselves? In concise and readable fashion this book explores the perspective of Canadians living in Canada's four western provinces on such issues as bilingualism and multiculturalism, free trade, populist currents of thought, separatism in Quebec, and separatism in the West. While this book is informed by an historical understanding of Western difference, its focus is on contemporary developments ranging from the popularity of the Reform Party to the influence of social and cultural movements such as feminism and environmentalism.

Review:
"A thought-provoking primer on Western discontent, one that offers fresh insight on the prickly relationship between this region and Quebec." -- Barbara Yaffe, Vancouver Sun
"Skilfully combining history and recent empirical data, it makes a compelling case for re-examing what the West wants, and why." -- David E. Smith, University of Saskatchewan
