Description

This broad-ranging selection of writings in Canadian history introduce undergraduate students to the new approaches taken by historians in recent years. Many of the essays are revisionist - either implicitly or explicitly - and emphasize regional and social historiography. With itsinsightful discussions of both traditional and current scholarly issues, the book provides an enlightening supplement to the standard historiographical concerns covered by introductory courses in Canadian history and should serve as a starting point for student discussion and criticalthinking.
