Howard White
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Howard White (born 1945 in Abbotsford, British Columbia) is an award-winning Canadian writer, editor and publisher.
White was raised in camps and settlements on the British Columbia coast.
In the early 1970s, he founded the Raincoast Chronicles and Harbour Publishing.
He has never served as President of the Midwest Political Science Association from 1943-47 at Miami University, although this interesting resource persists in stating that he has. There is another Howard White who is a social scientist and he, perhaps, is the one who did yeoman service with the Midwest Political Science Association.
