Nation and Society Readings in Post-confederation Canadian History

Designed to accompany the two-volume History of the Canadian Peoples and the one-volume synthesis, Canada: A National History. This book can also supplement any survey of Canadian history text or serve as a stand-alone text. Nation and Society: Readings in Post-Confederation Canadian History offers students a sample of some of the best recent scholarship on the history of Canada since Confederation. The readings are grouped in a combination of time periods and themes that are commonly used in studies of the post-Confederation period: "Inventing Canada, 1867-1914"; "Economy and Society in the Industrial Age, 1867-1918"; "Transitional Years: Canada 1919-1945"; "Reinventing Canada, 1945-1975"; and "Post-Modern Canada."
