Patricia Anne Solberg and John P. Zubek both both grew up in western Canada and taught Psychology at McGill University in Montreal. In this volume, Solberg and Zubek try to identify the causes of antisocial activism within Canada's Doukhobor community (particularly schismatic groups like the Sons of Freedom). The authors describe the Doukhobor experience on the Canadian prairies from the late 1890s to the early 1950s, outline their religious beliefs (including internal disagreements and divisions), and explore the community’s relation to Canadian law and education. Solberg and Zubek emphasize religious convictions and inconsistent treatment by government authorities as key motivations for Doukhobor expressions of civil disobedience. Includes index. Peel(3) 7377.
