Riel to Reform: Protest West Canada - Tapa blanda

Traditionally, the West has seen itself as a disadvantaged and oppressed region; protest against its hinterland status has been part of the Canadian fabric since Louis Riel.

Written by distinguished Canadian historians, political scientists and journalists, the 20 essays in Riel to Reform: A History of Protest in Western Canada examines the legacy of third-party politics, agrarian revolt and alienation that has come to characterize Western ideology.
