TöbbHosszú leírás:
Regions Apart: The Four Societies of Canada and the United States provides a valuable comparison between the two countries. Recognizing the inevitability of the comparison, at least for Canadians, the authors seek to explore the myths about the historical development of the two nations and to provide their own divergent interpretation. Their view of the historical development of the two countries has two key elements: they argue that the original American colonies and
English Canada were very similiar societies and they argue that the differences that emerged as the countries developed resulted from internal divisions in each country--between English and French Cqanada and between the American North and South--and not simply in the rupture of the American
Revolution.
