Hidden Canada: An Intimate Travelogue

By Norman Ravvin

Kahnawake on the shore of the St Laurence across from Montreal. The North Shore of Vancouver. The Bow River shoreline in downtown Calgary. Trinity Bay, Newfoundland. These are a few of the vantages from which Norman Ravvin looks beyond contemporary urban and rural landscapes to uncover past and once-possible Canadas, lost voices and vanished ways of living that are made recognizable once again. Through interviews, careful research and a good many miles burning up the roadways, Norman Ravvin offers a view of this country as never seen before.
