Description
Book SynopsisThis book unravels the paradox of the Canadian prairies by explaining how the region’s three provinces developed such distinct political cultures.
Trade ReviewThis is a well written book, extensively researched, well thought out and combining an interesting mix of theory and historical-empirical evidence. It speaks intelligently about questions to do with the theory of political culture, socialization, the role of ideas in politics and the nature of qualitative content analysis. -- Allen MIlls, University of Winnipeg * Canadian Journal of Political Science, Vol 45 No 3 *
