A History for the Future: Rewriting Memory and Identity in Quebec: Volume 16
ISBN: 9780773527249 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In A History for the Future Jocelyn Letourneau, a leader of the new wave of Quebec intellectuals, examines the hotly debated topics of history and memory in Quebec and Canada. Rather than focus on the past itself, he considers the challenge of turning the past into a narrative that contributes to building a better society, thereby establishing a liberating legacy for that society's heirs. As relatively new societies whose memories and histories are built on European foundations, the interrelated narratives of Quebec and Canadian history provide a rich body of material for such a far-reaching...

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...

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...

Religion, Family, and Community in Victorian Canada: The Colbys of Carrollcroft: Volume 2
ISBN: 9780773529595 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While we know a great deal about the role religion played in institutions in Victorian Canada, its place in home and family life has remained relatively unexplored. Drawing on a treasure trove of family papers and material culture, Marguerite Van Die depicts religion as "lived experience" in a portrait of a Protestant middle-class family in Quebec's Eastern Townships. The Colbys were members of Canada's emerging economic elite, active in the local community, public life, and politics. Their lives offer rich insights into the construction and practice of domestic religion and the moral and...

ISBN: 9780773529953 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Newfoundland and Labrador are like two uneasy stepsisters, each with its own distinct identity, trying to share a common house. Using original research, including personal interviews, and drawing on his forty-year association with Labrador, Bill Rompkey explores this relationship in the context of the region's unique racial, geographical, political, and social history. Rompkey charts the rise of Labrador as a giant in Canada's near north. He looks at the impact of the region's vast natural resources, which include the recently discovered nickel mine at Voisey's Bay, the largest in the world,...

Commissions High: Canada in London, 1870-1971
ISBN: 9780773530362 / Angielski / Twarda / 584 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Commissions High is an account of the work of the Canadian High Commission from 1870 until Britain's entry into the European Common Market one hundred years later. Roy MacLaren argues that, until the defeat of Diefenbaker in 1963, there was tension between the forces of imperial (later Commonwealth) solidarity and those of localized nationalism. Commissions High explores how localized nationalism led Canadian politicians to resist British efforts to centralize imperial decision-making and shows how the weakening of Commonwealth and transatlantic bonds following World War II contributed to...
