Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada and the British Empire traces the evolution of Canada, placing it within the wider context of British imperial history. Beginning with a broad chronological narrative, the volume surveys the country's history from the foundation of the first British bases in Canada in the early seventeenth century, until the patriation of the Canadian constitution in 1982. Historians approach the subject thematically, analysing subjects such as British migration to Canada, the role played by gender in the construction of imperial identities, and the economic relationship between Canada and Britain. Other important chapters examine the history of Newfoundland, the history and legacy of imperial law, and the attitudes of French Canadians and Canada's aboriginal peoples to the imperial relationship. The overall focus of the book is on emphasising the part that Canada played in the British Empire, and on understanding the Canadian response towards imperialism. With contributions from leading scholars in the field, it is essential reading for anyone interested either in the history of Canada or in the history of the British Empire.

Download or read book Canada and the End of Empire written by Phillip Buckner and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2007-10-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir John Seeley once wrote that the British Empire was acquired in “a fit of absence of mind.” Whatever the truth of this comment, it is certainly arguable that the Empire was dismantled in such a fit. This collection deals with a neglected subject in post-Confederation Canadian history – the implications to Canada and Canadians of British decolonization and the end of empire. Canada and the End of Empire looks at Canadian diplomatic relations with the United Kingdom and the United States, the Suez crisis, the changing economic relationship with Great Britain in the 1950s and 1960s, the role of educational and cultural institutions in maintaining the British connection, the royal tour of 1959, the decision to adopt a new flag in 1964, the efforts to find a formula for repatriating the constitution, the Canadianization of the Royal Canadian Navy, and the attitude of First Nations to the changed nature of the Anglo-Canadian relationship. Historians in Commonwealth countries tend to view the end of British rule from a nationalist perspective. Canada and the End of Empire challenges this view and demonstrates the centrality of imperial history in Canadian historiography. An important addition to the growing canon of empire studies and imperial history, this book will be of interest to historians of the Commonwealth, and to scholars and students interested in the relationship between colonialism and nationalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada and the British World surveys Canada's national history through a British lens. In a series of essays focusing on the social, cultural, and intellectual aspects of Canadian identity over more than a century, the complex and evolving relationship between Canada and the larger British World is revealed. Examining the transition from the strong belief of nineteenth-century Canadians in the British character of their country to the realities of modern multicultural Canada, this book eschews nostalgia in its endeavour to understand the dynamic and complicated society in which Canadians did and do live.

Download or read book Orienting Canada written by John Price and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colony to nation? Isolationism to internationalism? WASP society to a multicultural Canada? Focusing on imperial conflicts in the Pacific, Orienting Canada disrupts these familiar narratives in Canadian history by tracing the relationship between racism and Canadian foreign policy. Grounded in transnationalism and anti-racist theory, this book reassesses critical transpacific incidents, including Vancouver's riots of 1907, the Chinese head tax, the wars in the pacific from 1937 to 1945, the internment of Japanese-Canadians, and Canada’s significant role in consolidating the US anti-communist empire in postwar Asia. Shocking revelations about the effects of racism and war into the 1960s are tempered by stories of community resilience and transformation. As a transpacific lens on the past, Orienting Canada deflects Canada’s European gaze back onto itself to reveal images that both provoke and unsettle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigration handbooks published by British, Canadian, and provincial institutions at the close of the nineteenth century were designed to encourage resettlement and constitute one aspect of the large scale immigration campaigns embarked upon by the federal government to colonize Western Canada. This thesis utilizes these handbooks in order to rethink not only the advertising campaigns of the Canadian government, but also to reconsider the interconnectedness of Canada and Great Britain's imperial pasts. Although they were produced to encourage migration from metropole to colony, immigration handbooks, this thesis argues, became the lens through which Canada's reverse imperial gaze was cast. Because immigration handbooks simultaneously reflected and constituted the imperial world of which they were a part, they provided intending immigrants with information not only about Western Canada, but also about the empire writ large. Moreover, these handbooks suggest how metropolitan ideals, colonial realities and the tensions that arose in-between were understood, maintained, and refracted by the peripheries. Immigration handbooks provided intending immigrants with practical and useful information, while simultaneously carving out the gender and racial ideals that were deemed appropriate for this edge of the British Empire.
