2017., General, University of Toronto Press Call No: 971 R966c Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "150 years after Confederation, Canada is known around the world for its social diversity and its commitment to principles of multiculturalism. But the road to contemporary Canada is a winding one, a story of division and conflict as well as union and accommodation. Peter H. Russell provides an account of Canadian history from the pre-Confederation period to the present day. By focusing on what he calls the "three pillars" of English Canada, French Canada, and Aboriginal Canada, Russell advances an important view of our country as one founded on and informed by "incomplete conquests." It is the very incompleteness of these conquests that have made Canada what it is today, not just a multicultural society but a multinational one. A magisterial work by an astute observer of Canadian politics and history. Peter H. Russell is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto"--Provided by publisher.
