Nelles adds to the swelling format's offerings with his rather perfectly timed A Little History of Canada.in ranging from the last Ice Age to the coming of Paul Martin, Nelles sure covers all the essentials." - Toronto Star "If only this were the textbook we had in high school, Canadian history might have been more interestingOffering a concise history on our home and native land, Nelles stresses the country's ongoing transformative nature. As he explains, 'Though Canadians may not be able to articulate precisely what it means to be Canadianthey take pride in being Canadian (yes, even the majority of Quebecers).' " - National Post "In this lively, compact and opinionated history of Canada - from the Ice Age to our own time - the author insists that Canadians may find it difficult to articulate precisely who or what they are, but they do take pride in their nationality and status.If you no longer can recall what is significant about The British North America Act, the Family Compact, the Charlottetown and Meech Lake Accords, the rebellions of Louis Riel, William Lyon Mackenzie and Louis Joseph Papineau, and the War Measures Act, then this informative volume, a marvel of compression, is for you." Hamilton Spectator "A Little History of Canada may be humbly titled, but it's a bold venture. This slim, opinionated, brightly written account combines practical purpose with an endearing trust in the readers' intelligence.Whenever Nelles opens a well-worn seam in the national story, he highlights a greater pattern beneath with quick, vivid strokes.[an] enjoyable and illuminating reading experience." Canadian Geographic *Book Description* A Little History of Canada offers an opinionated, concise history of Canada to be enjoyed by Canadians in search of a brief history of their country, travellers visiting Canada, newcomers to Canada who decide to stay, and anyone else interested in the history of this country. In this overview, H.V.Nelles presents Canadian history as one of continuous transformation. From the arrival of French and British traders and colonists who added new social elements to the indigenous societies of North America, to the reconfiguration of this huge territory under British imperial authority, through the integration of diverse colonies into a national federation, and down to the new, volatile political order that has emerged in the last sixty years, H.V.Nelles' interpretation of Canadian history offers a view of Canada constantly emerging, adjusting, and redefining itself. A Little History of Canada provides an essential understanding of the main themes in Canada's transformation from a land of indigenous nations to the multicultural mosaic of today. For anyone who is interested in knowing how Canada developed into the nation it is today, this introduction is indispensable. Back To Top
