A Great and Noble Scheme: The Tragic Story of the Expulsion of the French Acadians from Their American Homeland
ISBN: 9780393328271 / Angielski / Miękka / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1755, New England troops embarked on a "great and noble scheme" to expel 18,000 French-speaking Acadians ("the neutral French") from Nova Scotia, killing thousands, separating innumerable families, and driving many into forests where they waged a desperate guerrilla resistance. The right of neutrality; to live in peace from the imperial wars waged between France and England; had been one of the founding values of Acadia; its settlers traded and intermarried freely with native Mikmaq Indians and English Protestants alike. But the Acadians' refusal to swear unconditional allegiance to the...

'Lescarbot was a man of lively wit, and a practical sagacity and breadth of view far in advance of his time.'

Habitants and Merchants in Seventeenth-Century Montreal: Volume 1
ISBN: 9780773509511 / Angielski / Miękka / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dechene's work, when first published, constituted a major milestone in the development of methodology and use of sources. Her systematic examination of difficult and massive documentary collections blazed a number of new trails for other researchers.

The Child Letters: Public and Private Life in a Canadian Merchant-Politician's Family, 1841-1845
ISBN: 9780773512603 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Child came to Lower Canada from Massachussetts in 1812 and made his fortune as a smuggler during the War of 1812. He later became a merchant and druggist and then entered politics, serving as MLA for Stanstead County in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. The letters provide the first detailed history of Eastern Township politics during the 1840s. They are also an excellent source of information for the social historian, reflecting the concerns of a nineteenth-century Canadian family who were not part of the small British-born elite. Issues discussed in the letters include religion and moral...

ISBN: 9780773515185 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The entry of Newfoundland into Canadian Confederation has been the subject of many books. But, until now, the history of the British-appointed commission which governed Newfoundland from 1934 to 1949 has not been given much attention.

Popular Politics and Political Culture in Upper Canada, 1800-1850
ISBN: 9780773520547 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Wilton demonstrates that by the 1830s the political energies of Upper Canadians were far more likely to be channelled through petitioning movements than election campaigns. Petitioning movements, which were connected not only with public meetings but with demonstrations and parades, were also increasingly associated with political violence. The resulting assaults, riots, and effigy-burnings - prominent features of Tory governance - not only contributed to the striking political polarization of the population but also helped provoke the Rebellion of 1837. Wilton provides new insights into the...

Vie Et Mort Du Couple En Nouvelle-France: Québec Et Louisbourg Au Xviiie Siècle Volume 19
ISBN: 9780773530676 / Francuski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Popular belief and a particular conception of colonial history holds that women in New France had more opportunity to act in society. Josette Brun's analysis of married life and widowhood in eighteenth-century Quebec City and Louisbourg reveals another reality. Brun considers the division of rights and responsabilities between spouses, issues of morality and succession surrounding second marriages, strategies of economic survival, family support systems, and aid policies toward widowed individuals. She argues that husbands were "lords and masters" at home, a position legitimized by the state...

Canada in the European Age, 1453-1919
ISBN: 9780773530911 / Angielski / Miękka / 617 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When Canada in the European Age, 1453-1919 was first published, it reversed traditional methodology by placing Canada's evolution in the context of the rise and fall of empires around the world, not just in the Americas. R.T. Naylor contends that the struggle for property (and political) rights in early nineteenth-century Newfoundland is incomprehensible without an understanding of events as distinct as the Afro-American slave trade or the Napoleonic Wars; the opening of the natural resource frontier of British Columbia makes sense only if seen as another manifestation of the same historical...

The Captors' Narrative
ISBN: 9780801440595 / Angielski / Twarda / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Between 1690 and 1760, close to two thousand New Englanders were taken captive by French Canadians and their Native American allies during five intercolonial wars. Puritan propagandists reacted by evoking the vulnerability of New England's homes and Protestant faith with images of captive women in sexual peril, a titillating vision only amplified in popular Victorian and modern portrayals of female captives as stock literary figures. In The Captors' Narrative, William Henry Foster demonstrates that the majority of Anglo-American captives taken along the New England frontier were, in fact,...

Rural Protest on Prince Edward Island: From British Colonization to the Escheat Movement
ISBN: 9780802004390 / Angielski / Twarda / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Who has the more legitimate claim to land, settlers who occupy and improve it with their labour, or landlords who claim ownership on the basis of imperial grants? This question of property rights, and their construction, was at the heart of rural protest on Prince Edward Island for a century. Tenants resisted landlord claims by squatting and refusing to pay rent. They fought for their vision of a just rural order through petitions, meetings, rallies, electoral campaigns, and direct action. Landlords responded with their own collective action to protect their interests. In Rural Protest...

The 'Conquest' of Acadia, 1710: Imperial, Colonial, and Aboriginal Constructions
ISBN: 9780802037558 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The conquest of Port-Royal by British forces in 1710 is an intensely revealing episode in the history of northeastern North America. Bringing together multi-layered perspectives, including the conquest's effects on aboriginal inhabitants, Acadians, and New Englanders, and using a variety of methodologies to contextualise the incident in local, regional, and imperial terms, six prominent scholars form new conclusions regarding the events of 1710. The authors show that the processes by which European states sought to legitimate their claims, and the terms on which mutual toleration would be...

Jacques Cartier's voyages of 1534, 1535, and 1541constitute the first record of European impressions of the St Lawrence region of northeastern North American and its peoples. The Voyages are rich in details about almost every aspect of the region's environment and the people who inhabited it. As Ramsay Cook points out in his introduction, Cartier was more than an explorer; he was also Canada's first ethnographer. His accounts provide a wealth of information about the native people of the region and their relations with each other. Indirectly, he also reveals much about...Jacques Cartier's voyages of 1534, 1535, and 1541constitute the first record of European impressions of the St Lawrence region of northeastern Nort... |
