Book Description
Excerpt from Picturesque Canada, Vol. 1: The Country as It Was and Is Though the Preface comes first, it is usually written last; and to this custom, for Special reasons, picturesque canada is no exception. Now, that the last page of Of the work has been written, the time has come to explain and give thanks. I was reluctant to undertake the editorship, but consented because, being in sympathy with Canadian aspirations and knowing Canada from ocean to ocean, . I believed that a work that would represent its characteristic Scenery and the history and life of its people would not only make -us better known to ourselves and to strangers, but would also stimulate national sentiment and contribute to the rightful development of the nation. The favour with which the work has been received is due not merely to its artistic merit, but to the growing patriotic spirit of the people, and their desire, therefore, to see faithfully reproduced some of the scenes of the land they love.

Colonialism and Capitalism: Canada’s Origins 1500–1890
Author: BRYAN D. PALMER
Publisher: James Lorimer & Company
ISBN: 1459419243
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
In the past decade Canadian history has become a hotly contested subject. Iconic figures, notably Sir John A Macdonald, are no longer unquestioned nation-builders. The narrative of two founding peoples has been set aside in favour of recognition of Indigenous nations whose lands were taken up by the incoming settlers. An authoritative and widely-respected Truth and Reconciliation Commission, together with an honoured Chief Justice of the Supreme Court have both described long-standing government policies and practices as “cultural genocide.” Historians have researched and published a wide range of new research documenting the many complex threads comprising the Canadian experience. As a leading historian of labour and social movements, Bryan Palmer has been a major contributor to this literature. In this first volume of a major new survey history of Canada, he offers a narrative which is based on the recent and often specialized research and writing of his historian colleagues. One major theme in this book is the colonial practices of the authorities as they pushed aside the original peoples of this country. While the methods varied, the result was opening up Canada’s rich resources for exploitation by the incoming European settlers. The second major theme is the role of capitalism in determining how those resources were exploited, and who would reap the enormous power and wealth that accrued. The first volume of this challenging and illuminating new survey history covers the period that concludes in the 1890s after the creation out of Britain’s northern colonies of the semi-autonomous federal Canadian state. Volume II, to be published in spring 2025, takes the narrative to the present.
