To Know Our Many Selves profiles the history of Canadian studies, which began as early as the 1840s with the Study of Canada. In discussing this comprehensive examination of culture, Hoerder highlights its unique interdisciplinary approach, which included both sociological and political angles. Years later, as the study of other ethnicities was added to the cultural story of Canada, a solid foundaton was formed for the nation's master narrative.Against this background, To Know Our Many Selves focuses on why Canadian studies may be used as a sound model for the study of otehr societies in a framework of transcultural societal studies.
