Book Review

Terra Pacifica: People and Place in the Northwest States and Western Canada. Ed. by Paul W. Hirt. (Pullman: Washington State University Press, 1998. xviii, 223 pp. Cloth, $35.00, isbn 0-87422-163-3. Paper, $18.95, isbn 0-87422-162-5.)

Terra Pacifica is a collection of ten wide-ranging essays on Pacific Northwest history that the editor has organized under two large topical sections. The first focuses on the importance of regionalism and the need to place regional history within the larger context of national and global understandings. Section 2 looks at topics concerned with the region's Indian and nonnative people. As indicated by the title, the book takes a comparative approach to a broadly conceived Pacific Northwest. Beyond spacial breadth, the collected essays also range over a broad time span to encompass important contemporary historical concerns and methodologies reflective of the so-called new western history. . . .
