This book is an insightful, nuanced, and refreshing re-assessment of Canadian history – one needed now more than ever. It will stimulate discussion and debate and make students want to dive even deeper into the fascinating histories that it documents. * Bradley Miller, Associate Professor & Keenleyside Chair in Canada and the World, University of British Columbia, Canada * Keshen and Blake have recalibrated Canadian history, choosing salient moments which they then deeply explain. They expand history rather than miniaturize it, and the reader will be stimulated to know more about Canada’s fascinating history. * Robert Bothwell, Professor Emeritus, University of Toronto, Canada *
