The Last Best West: Essays on the Historical Geography of the Canadian Prairies

Based on revised articles by the authors first published in a variety of prestigious academic journals, this book analyzes the pattern and process of ethnic group settlement in western Canada from 1874 until the 1920s from the perspective of historical geography and in the context of time, space and society. Through consideration of six major ethnic groups, the Memmonites, Jews, Mormons, Ukrainians, Doukhobors and Hutterites, the book describes how and why these groups created a series of distinctive cultural landscapes across the prairies.Katz, Yossi is the author of 'The Last Best West: Essays on the Historical Geography of the Canadian Prairies', published 1999 under ISBN 9789654930284 and ISBN 9654930285.
