The earlier and later papers developing into and from the major themes of Volume I. This formidable volume strikes sparks from the corpus of social writing in the late 20th century. The author's relentless perspective constantly returns to the facts of social history, calling into sharpest question the conventions of our time. From Western Canada between 1974 and 1988 Dr. Davis made 15 visits to the socialist nations, 4 to China, one to Eastern Europe, 4 to the Soviet Union, 6 to Cuba. In Vol. II appear his notes from those visits. Here are the moving sculptures of an age, formed from the standing waves and currents of social process.
