What did a newly outward-looking and hegemonic United States mean for its northern neighbor? This sharp-eyed study provides a unique look at postwar Canada, bringing to the fore the opinions and perceptions of a broad range of Canadians--from consumers to diplomats, jazz musicians to urban planners, and a diverse cross-section in between. As they grappled with issues including constitutional reform, transit policy, national security, the arrival of television, white supremacy, and postwar domesticity, Canadians were ever mindful of the unfolding American experience and its influence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Asa McKercher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 077486883X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774868839\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.29h x 6.38w x 2.20d","brand":"Asa McKercher","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45477306138879,"sku":"9780774868839","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6c02b60b-7531-4473-807e-e9a9af7be3b6.jpg?v=1715919648","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/north-of-america-asa-mckercher-9780774868839","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
