The Plaunt lectures present an unusual retrospective of persistent themes in public discourse in Canada: although the last lecture took place in 1992, the subjects treated in the series remain very much in the forefront of the intellectual and public life of this country.

Ghost Brothers: Adoption of a French Tribe by Bereaved Native America: A Transdisciplinary Longitudinal Multilevel Integrated Analysis
ISBN: 9780773528284 / Angielski / Twarda / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While Spanish conquistadores in the Americas seemed bent on plunder and the British on land appropriation, the French became swept up in a complex web of Native alliances. In an unprecedented study, Rony Blum explores how "phantom-mediated" interpretations of the past and present were key to the uniquely successful relationship that developed between the French and Natives. Devastating losses caused by ravaging diseases such as smallpox led to an epidemic of bereavement among the Natives. This loss resonated with the French who had dealt with smaller epidemics in France and who were also...

Contesting Rural Space: Land Policy and Practices of Resettlement on Saltspring Island, 1859-1891
ISBN: 9780773528598 / Angielski / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An intriguing mix of African-American, First Nation, Hawaiian, and European, the early residents of Saltspring Island were neither successful farmers nor full-time waged workers, neither squatters nor bona-fide landowners. Contesting Rural Space explores how these early settlers created and sustained a distinctive society, culture, and economy. In the late nineteenth century, residents claiming land on Saltspring Island walked a careful line between following mandatory homestead policies and manipulating these policies for their own purposes. The residents favoured security over risk and...

ISBN: 9780773528819 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Newfoundland and Labrador has a long history of commercial whaling, beginning in the first half of the sixteenth century, when Basque whalers established seasonal stations on the Labrador coast, from which to hunt bowheads and North Atlantic right whales. Anthony Dickinson and Chesley Sanger examine the region's modern shore-station industry, from its beginnings in 1896 to its peak catch season in 1904, through subsequent cycles of decline and revival, until its enforced closure in 1972 by the federal government. Modern shore-station whaling on Canada's eastern shores developed with the...
