Since the 1980s Canadians have experienced turmoil on an
unprecedented scale and on a variety of fronts. Constitutional
battles pitted citizen against citizen and publics against leaders.
Vigorous new interest groups challenged governments to respond to
new issues like the environment, gay rights, and equality for
women. In the face of expanding trade relations Canadians mobilized
to respond to economic uncertainty, and family relations were
exposed to new stresses. What explains the turmoil?
In this extraordinarily wide-ranging book, Neil Nevitte
demonstrates that the changing patterns of Canadian values are
connected. Changing attitudes to authority in the family are
connected to changing attitudes to the work-place and to politics
and they all point to one theme--the decline of deference. Canada's
turmoil is not unique, nor is it a result of the "Americanization"
of Canadian values. Canada, he argues, is but one stage on which
the rhythms of post-industrial value change are played out.
