Constructing Modern Canada: Readings in Post-Confederation History
Abstract
[This textbook] includes examples of some of the best recent scholarship on the development of society, economy, and politics in post-Confederation Canada, scholarship that not only promotes new ways of viewing history, but new methods of research as well. The readings emphasize gender, class, ethnicity, and region, as well as people's relationship to the environment, to provide varied and wide-ranging views of Canada's past. --Publisher's description
