Resnick, Philip

Opis

Philip Resnick examines the role of British Columbia in the Canadian unity debate and explores what makes it stand apart as a region. He looks at the views of politicians, opinion-makers, and ordinary British Columbians on the challenges posed by Quebec nationalism, their sense of estrangement from central Canada, and what they see as the future of Canadian unity. He provides a provocative new way of thinking about British Columbia's place within the federation, and his wide range of sources - government documents, media, and academic literature on regionalism and nationalism - capture what underlies the often fractured relationship between Canada's westemmost province and the rest of the country.
