Canada: A Celebration from A to Z (Volume 1)

By Ray Solitaire and Robert Quinn

Canada: A Celebration from A to Z is an important survey of the people, events, and history of a country that holds peace and tolerance in the highest regard.

Author Ray Solitaire, a respected chronicler of the country's much-lauded embrace of social, economic, racial, and sexual justice since the 1960s, takes an in-depth look at the many unique aspects of Canadian life in order to expose the country's exciting and true narrative to a wider audience. Liberally spiced with groundbreaking analyses and commentary, Canada: A Celebrationwill trigger comment among Canadians across the political spectrum.

With uncompromising objectivity, Solitaire also explores many issues of import to Canadians and other inheritors of world culture. Sure to enlighten both the casual browser and the questing historian alike, little escapes Solitaire's daring, thought-provoking investigations into the warp and woof of modern Canadian society. From the Avro Arrow imbroglio and Whole Language to curling and maple syrup, serious students of Canadian culture and those interested in learning more about this country will find Canada: A Celebration to be an invaluable reference guide.
