Purchase options and add-ons

British Columbia is regularly described in superlatives both positive and negative - most spectacular scenery, strangest politics, greatest environmental sensitivity, richest Aboriginal cultures, most aggressive resource exploitation, closest ties to Asia. Jean Barman's The West beyond the West presents the history of the province in all its diversity and apparent contradictions. This critically acclaimed work is the premiere book on British Columbian history, with a narrative beginning at the point of contact between Native peoples and Europeans and continuing into the twenty-first century.

Barman tells the story by focusing not only on the history made by leaders in government but also on the roles of women, immigrants, and Aboriginal peoples in the development of the province. She incorporates new perspectives and expands discussions on important topics such as the province's relationship to Canada as a nation, its involvement in the two world wars, the perspectives of non-mainstream British Columbians, and its participation in recreation and sports including Olympics.

First published in 1991 and revised in 1996, this third edition of The West beyond the West has been supplemented by statistical tables incorporating the 2001 census, two more extensive illustration sections portraying British Columbia's history in images, and other new material bringing the book up to date. Barman's deft scholarship is readily apparent and the book demands to be on the shelf of anyone with an interest in British Columbian or Canadian history.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

'Barman...deftly weaves a variety of revisionist-themes that present a more thorough understanding of B.C.'s history. The excellent selection of maps and tables will provide the student with an abundance of information on exploratory routes, politicians, electoral results, and demographics by religious affiliation and ethnic origin.'-Daniel P. Marshall, Social History

    5.0 out of 5 stars BC’s History told well
    Reviewed in Canada on May 1, 2024
    A fabulous book that tells us about BC before European contact up to about 2006. A long read, but super well written. Every aspect is interesting. Shows so many connections between geography, immigration, politics, natural history, commerce, education, etc. Once you’ve finished this book, try some of Jean Barman’s other books. This is my third. They have all been outstanding.

    Product is in great physical condition. Saved 50% compared to the schools price. Some highlighting in it as mentioned in the product description, which is fine by me!
