520 "Vancouver prides itself on being a green city, and the
west coast is known for its active environmental protest
culture. But the roots of this mentality reach far beyond
the founding of organizations such as Greenpeace. Small
campaigns led by local community groups from the 1960s
onward left a lasting impact on the region. At the
Wilderness Edge examines five anti-development campaigns
in and around Vancouver that reflected a dramatic decline
in public support for large-scale commercial and
industrial projects. J.I. Little describes the highly
effective protests that were instrumental in preserving
threatened green spaces on Coal Harbour, Hollyburn Ridge,
Bowen Island, Gambier Island, and the Squamish estuary,
keeping these important British Columbia landmarks from
becoming a high-rise development project, a downhill ski
resort, a suburban housing tract, an open-pit copper mine,
and a major coal port, respectively. Through detailed
analysis of development proposals and protests, government
studies, and community responses, Little argues that it
was not the usual suspects--1960s radicalism and anti-
establishment youth culture--that initiated and carried
out these protests, but rather middle-aged, middle-class,
politically engaged citizens, many of whom were women. An
engaging study of grass-roots politics in action, At the
Wilderness Edge sheds new light on the rise of
environmental consciousness, a pivotal era in the history
of British Columbia, the Pacific Northwest, and Canada."--
