Book Description

February 1, 1997
B. W. Powe's visionary work of political philosophy dares to reimagine Canada. In this landmark book, Powe argues that our country is in fact a completely original model of what an enlightened polity might be for the 21st century.

Here is a passionately inspired portrait of Canada as a communication state--an anti-nation of loose ties and subtle associations where dialogue, ideas, debate, and the exchange of information is the currency that holds us lightly together.

A Canada of Light points to the urgent realization of a new and liberating way of what it means to be Canadian.
