About BC Books Online

We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."

Description
Many Canadians are convinced that region, class, gender, and ethnicity define the minority units of national society. Challenging this conviction, the authors of this collection examine the nation as a unit and make the national political system, its institutions, and its personnel the heart of their concern.
Contributor Notes
R. Kenneth Carty is an associate professor in the department of political science at the University of British Columbia. W. Peter Ward is an associate professor of history at the University of British Columbia.
Editorial Reviews
A useful addition to the literature on Canada because of its focus on the nationalizing elements of the country's politics at a time when so many are concentrating on its provincial, local, or divisive components.
— Choice
National Politics and Community in Canada is an example of an increasingly common type of book in that it is the product of an inter-disciplinary conference. In this particular case only two disciplines are involved - history and political science - and it turns out to have been a fruitful exercise. ... Much therefore depends on the quality of the essays and in this respect the editors of this volume are well-served and themselves serve well.
