Looking at the main tensions between local dwelling and the globalized market, Identity and Justice shows how contemporary society's reactions to technological advances and a world market economy have produced increasingly isolated individuals and prevented the emergence of a coherent community based on a universalizing philosophy.Stressing the importance of regionalism and postcolonial understandings, Angus argues that Canada requires a philosophy of independent parts through a conception of universality that subordinates rulership to a negotiation between diverse communities. Through discussion of the work of prominent Canadian thinkers, notably Harold Innis, John Porter, George Grant, and Marshall McLuhan, Angus identifies and explores key themes that define the distinctiveness of English Canada, primarily those related to power and empire, dominant and innovative modes of perception and thought, transportation, communication, community, ethnicity, and collective action.A penetrating examination of some of Canada's national myths and the phenomenology of locality in the twenty-first century, Identity and Justice is a groundbreaking critique and recovery of English Canadian social and political thought. 606 $aCanadians, English-speaking 606 $aMulticulturalism$zCanada 606 $aGroup identity$zCanada 606 $aDependency 607 $aCanada$xPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCanadians, English-speaking. 615 0$aMulticulturalism 615 0$aGroup identity 615 0$aDependency. 676 $a971 700 $aAngus$b Ian H.$0899155 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456774003321 996 $aIdentity and Justice$92008824 997 $aUNINA
