Description
Book SynopsisThis collection of essays examines federalism and nationalism in Canada, emphasizing the Canada/Quebec question since 1971. It analyzes the singularity of Quebec within the larger Canadian mosaic, providing a defence for the recognition of Quebec's distinctiveness within a reformed federal system.
Trade Review"Taylor is Canada's leading political philosopher and the present collection constitutes a magisterial set of reflections on the Canadian predicament going back almost thirty years ... I have little doubt that the readership for this volume will be large and diverse, tapping not only an academic audience but a lay public as well. In these stormy times, with Canada threatening to go the way of Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, or the ex-Soviet Union, Taylor's views deserve the broadest possible dissemination." Philip Resnick, Department of Political Science, University of British Columbia. "The book displays a remarkable understanding of the political and social forces that shaped the Canadian constitutional debate of the last quarter century." John C. Courtney, Department of Political Studies, University of Saskatchewan.
