As with each of the previous volumes, the aim has been to provide a comprehensive record of the non-English language periodical literature produced by European ethnic groups in North America.

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.
