Regions Apart provides an invaluable social, cultural, and political comparison of the two countries that share the world's longest undefended border--Canada and the United States. General readers and students alike will find this book an insightful analysis of how and why Americans and Canadians differ, not only from each other but from region to region within each country.

Recognizing the inevitability of the comparison, the authors explore the myths about the historical development of the two nations and provide their own thought-provoking interpretation. They argue that the original American colonies and English Canada were very similar societies and that the differences that emerged as the countries developed resulted not simply because of the rupture caused by the American Revolution, but because of internal divisions in each country--between English and French Canada and between the American North and South--that set the two nations on different paths.

Edward Grabb is Professor and Senior Scholar in Residence at the Department of Sociology at the University of British Columbia in Canada. Most of his research centers on social inequality, political sociology, and comparative social structure. His articles have appeared in such journals as the American Sociological Review and Social Forces. His other books include Social Inequality in Canada (co-edited with Neil Guppy) and Theories of Social Inequality.

The late James Curtis was a Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Waterloo in Canada. His primary scholarly interests included social inequality, associational and political behavior, the sociology of knowledge, and the sociology of physical activity and sport.
