I am especially impressed by the ways in which Block uses the oral histories she has gathered to challenge the theoretical frameworks often imposed on lived reality. Secularity, she argues throughout the book, is a much more complicated and shifting phenomenon than many assume ... people interested in Pacific Northwest life are indebted to Tina Block for an admirable scholarly endeavor. It deserves wide circulation and consideration.
...a thoughtful and thought-provoking work that offers a relatively uncommon analysis of secularism in postwar B.C.
An excellent book will lead you through doors of thought and will open new pathways once the reading is done. Block does not disappoint.
