Beskrivning

In recognition of Canada’s sesquicentennial, this two-volume set brings together previously published scholarship on Confederation into one collection. The editors sought to reproduce not only the "classic" studies about the people, ideas, and events associated with the passage of the British North America Act, 1867, but also scholarly works that capture the complexities of the Confederation project. This ambitious anthology challenges the notion that there exists one dominant narrative underpinning 1867, and includes research that focuses on Indigenous peoples. Seven articles written in French are translated for the first time for publication in this collection.In the first volume of this anthology, Roads to Confederation introduces readers to the competing approaches to the study of Confederation and provides material that considers the nature of the 1867 project from the perspective of peoples and communities who have been traditionally excluded from the literature. It also includes the definitive scholarship on the ideational underpinnings of the making of Canada as well as several leading articles that set out different ways to understand the nature and purpose of the 1867 agreement.

Recensioner i media

"The wide range of perspectives will be valuable to students and scholars, particularly in examining the centrality of the Confederation moment and tensions informing Canadian nationalism, or even geopolitical interest that shaped Canada in North America."- Charles Dumais, University of Toronto (Canadian Journal of Political Science, vol 52 no 1, March 2019) "For those of us who teach Confederation, and who often wish we could renovate our classes to better capture the multiplicity of scholarly takes, this distillation of so many important approaches to the topic will be a blessing; Donald Creighton’s road to Confederation must now be seen as just one route among many." - Bradley Miller, University of British Columbia (Canadian Historical Review)
