Description

This text is an engaging survey of post-Second World War Canada, exploring ten themes key to the Canadian experience since 1945. An accessible narrative brings together recent scholarship to show how Canadians first re-created the nation following the Second World War, then experienced the fragmentation of the Canada that had emerged, and ultimately remained committed to Canada as a nation-state and community.

Editorial Reviews

"This is a superb book. Throughout the coverage is thorough, balanced, and fair-minded." --David B. Marshall, University of Calgary

"This is an interesting and engaging account of Canada since 1945 organized thematically rather than temporally. It's a good undergraduate text for classes on Modern Canadian history." --Corey Slumkoski, Mount Saint Vincent University
