A Historical and Legal Study of Sovereignty in the Canadian North
Author: Gordon W. Smith
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781552387207
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 491
Book Description
Gordon W. Smith, PhD, dedicated much of his life to researching Canada?s sovereignty in the Arctic. A historian by training, his 1952 dissertation from Columbia University on ?The Historical and Legal Background of Canada?s Arctic Claims? remains a foundational work on the topic, as does his 1966 chapter ?Sovereignty in the North: The Canadian Aspect of an International Problem,? in R. St. J. Macdonald?s The Arctic Frontier. This work is the first in a project to edit and publish Smith?s unpublished opus - a manuscript on ?A Historical and Legal Study of Sovereignty in the Canadian North and Related Law of the Sea Problems.? Written over three decades (yet incomplete at the time of his death in 2000), this work may well be the most comprehensive study on the nature and importance of the Canadian North in existence.Volume 1: Terrestrial Sovereignty provides the most comprehensive documentation yet available on the post-Confederation history of Canadian sovereignty in the north. As Arctic sovereignty and security issues return to the forefront of public debate, this invaluable resource provides the foundation upon which we may expand our understanding of Canada?s claims from the original transfers of the northern territories in 1870 and 1880 through to the late twentieth century. The book provides a wealth of detail, ranging from administrative formation and delineation of the northern territories through to other activities including government expeditions to northern waters, foreign whaling, the Alaska boundary dispute, northern exploration between 1870 and 1918, the background of Canada?s sector claim, the question concerning Danish sovereignty over Greenland and its relation to Canadian interests, the Ellesmere Island affair, the activities of American explorers in the Canadian North, and the Eastern Arctic Patrol. The final chapter examines the Eastern Greenland case and its implications for Canada.

Canada and the Idea of North
Author: Sherrill E Grace
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773569537
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
Canada and the Idea of North examines the ways in which Canadians have defined themselves as a northern people in their literature, art, music, drama, history, geography, politics, and popular culture. From the Franklin Mystery to the comic book superheroine Nelvana, Glenn Gould's documentaries, the paintings of Lawren Harris, and Molson beer ads, the idea of the north has been central to the Canadian imagination. Sherrill Grace argues that Canadians have always used ideas of Canada-as-North to promote a distinct national identity and national unity. In a penultimate chapter - "The North Writes Back" - Grace presents newly emerging northern voices and shows how they view the long tradition of representing the North by southern activists, artists, and scholars. With the recent creation of Nunavut, increasing concern about northern ecosystems and social challenges, and renewed attention to Canada's role as a circumpolar nation, Canada and the Idea of North shows that nordicity still plays an urgent and central role in Canada at the start of the twenty-first century.
