The essays in this volume, which explore the Canadian condition
at the beginning of the eighties, deal with fundamental issues of
concern to all thoughtful Canadians. The eight essayists are
distinguished historians and political scientists: Louis Balthazar,
Michael Bliss, Robert Craig Brown, Ramsay Cook, J.R. Mallory, H.V.
Nelles, Donald Smiley, and Denis Smith. In addressing four basic
themes-the nation and nationality, Quebec and the referendum, the
economy and the state, and Parliament and politicians-they suggest
new answers to those perennial Canadian questions: Who are we? What
are we doing together? How shall we go about our common business?
As the editors observe in their introduction: '...such matters as
the identity, purpose, and functioning of a nation are the great
issues of modern society, and each community and each age must
resolve them anew. That task has fallen to Canadians at the dawn of
the 1980s, and to the ongoing deliberations all the writers in this
volume have made a contribution.'
