Terra Pacifica people and place in the northwest states and western Canada
|
"Ten widely-recognized historians from the United States and Canada present thought provoking insights about society, culture, and change in the great, resource-laden Northwest. Essays examine early Spanish exploration of the Northern coast; the long-term relationship of a fragile Canadian union with its powerful southern neighbor; regional novelists and literature; important aspects of black and white immigration; the iconography of nuclear energy; and the continuing interaction of the region's many Indian reservations with the dominant society's economic, conservation, and legal institutions."--BOOK JACKET |
