Summary:

When she moved to the US, Canadian native Gower (advertising and public relations, U. of Alabama) was surprised by the attitudes she encountered towards the government and the devotion to individual rights. Seeking roots, she found differences in how Americans and Canadians conceptualize the individual, the state, and their relationship. Here she shows how her findings are manifested in the political thought and freedom-of-expression case law of each country. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
