About this title

Synopsis

This timely revision of one of the classic books in Canadian political studies, originally published in 1979, examines two questions: Will the Canadian federal system fall apart little more than a century after Confederation? Or can its problems of disunity be solved by good intentions with skillful diplomacy? In light of the swelling militancy in Quebec, and key events of the 1980s, Bell has updated his acclaimed reading of Canada's unique political culture by examining some of the important issues involved, including immigration, multiculturalism, the "two nations" concept, the growing sense of independence of Canada's western provinces, and the incursion of American industry and culture into Canada.
