The Doukhobors of British Columbia is a landmark work of anthropology and social history that chronicles the lives, beliefs, and struggles of the Doukhobors — a Russian pacifist religious sect who migrated to Canada in the early twentieth century. Edited by Harry B. Hawthorn, the book presents a comprehensive academic study of the community's settlement and adaptation in British Columbia, drawing on fieldwork, interviews, and documentary research. It details the tensions between Doukhobor traditions and Canadian mainstream society, including conflicts over land, education, and state authority. Written with scholarly authority yet accessible prose, the work argues that understanding minority religious communities is essential to grasping the broader dynamics of Canadian multiculturalism and governance. This authoritative volume remains an indispensable reference for anyone studying Canadian social history, religious communities, or immigrant experience.
