It is also very readable, and mercifully free of jargon, making it accessible for undergraduates and interested lay readers outside academia. It is recommended to anybody seeking to understand the role of religion in the recent Canadian political landscape. It is also an important contribution to the ongoing debate over 'secularization' in Canadian society.\u003c\/p\u003e - Bruce Douville, History Department, Algoma University (Canadian Parliamentary Review)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eReligion is usually thought of as inconsequential to contemporary Canadian politics.\u003cem\u003e Religion and Canadian Party Politics\u003c\/em\u003e takes a hard look at just how much influence faith continues to have in federal, provincial, and territorial political arenas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on case studies from across the country, this book explores three important axes of religiously based contention in Canada. Early on, there were the denominational distinctions between Catholics and Protestants that shaped party oppositions. Since the 1960s, a newly politicized divide opened between religious conservatives and political reformers. Then from the 1990s on, sporadic controversy has centred on the recognition of non-Christian religious minority rights. Although the extent of partisan engagement with each of these sources of conflict has varied across time and region, this book shows that religion still matters in shaping party politics .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis detailed look at the play of religiously based conflict and accommodation in Canada fills a large gap and pulls us back from overly simplified comparisons with the United States. More broadly, this book also compares the role of faith in politics in Canada to that of other Western industrialized societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Faith and Party Politics in Canada\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: Federal Politics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Conservative Faith and Federal Parties\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Abortion Politics and Federal Parties\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 2: Persistent Denominationalism in Provincial Politics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Religion in Atlantic Provincial Politics: The Special Cases of Newfoundland and Labrador and New Brunswick\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Ontario's Progressive Conservatives and Tenacious Denominational Politics, 1943–85\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 3: Religious Conservatism and the Partisan Right\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Sexual Diversity and the Mobilization of Faith Communities in Ontario, 1986–2015\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 The Declining Influence of Conservative Faith in Alberta since 1971\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 Schooling, Sexuality, and Religious Conservatism in British Columbia Politics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 4: Canada's Most Distinctive Regions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 Conflicted Secularism in Francophone Quebec Party Politics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 Evangelical Christianity and Northern Territorial Politics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConclusion: Canadian Diversity in Comparative Context\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes; Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"UBC Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52531070468376,"sku":"9780774835596","price":26.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/religion-and-canadian-party-politics-paperback-softback-9780774835596","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
