| Sumario: | Insiders and Outsiders celebrates the work of Alan C. Cairns, one of the most influential Canadian social scientists of the contemporary period. Few scholars have helped shape so many key debates in such a wide range of topics in Canadian politics, from the electoral system and federalism to constitutional and Charter politics, to questions of Aboriginal citizenship. This volume contains engaging and critical analyses of Cairns' contributions by a diverse group of scholars, many of them leaders in their own fields. It includes appraisals of his role as a public intellectual, of his interpretation of Canada's electoral system, of his views on federalism and on Canadian unity, of his approach to Aboriginal/non-Aboriginal relations, and of his writings on citizenship and diversity. It concludes with a fascinating retroactive assessment by Alan Cairns himself of his academic career. The book will prove of particular interest to students and scholars of Canadian politics, history, and society, especially those examining issues such as the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Aboriginal politics, political institutions, and political change. It should also appeal to a larger public that follows the Canadian political scene and that shares Cairns' concerns with broad questions of citizenship, diversity, and national unity. |
