Amazon.com description: Product Description:

There is something quintessentially Western Canadian that distinguishes and separates living in this region from all other parts of Canada. But what does it mean to be Western Canadian ? What meanings do the terms the West and being a Westerner invoke?

To answer these questions, the authors lay out a variety of approaches and unique research initiatives, with a novel focus on the following:

- small urban centres

- rural education

- regional representations and identities

- theatre

- literature and film

- visual representations, and

- quality of life issues

Informed by the contributions of noted Canadian academics, the ten varied works in this collection cumulatively offer a unique panoramic understanding of Western themes.
