Reappraisals of British Colonisation in Atlantic Canada, 1700-1930

Beschreibung

Investigating the contested legacies of British colonisation on Canada's Atlantic coast This volume offers fresh perspectives on the legacy of British colonisation in Atlantic Canada, a region that was pivotal in safeguarding Britain's imperial ambitions. Chapters in the collection engage with this legacy across three sections: Dispossession and Settlement; Religion and Identity; and Reappraising Memory. Showcasing research from both new and established scholars from Canada, the UK and the United States, the collection challenges the established historiography of the region and brings groups who have traditionally been excluded from Britain's broader imperial narrative into sharper focus. Key Features . Situates the Scottish experience within the process of British colonisation, challenging the tendency to omit the Scots from critical explorations of the colonisation process in this region. . Highlights the Indigenous experience, as well as the experience of the enslaved, free people of colour and religious minorities. . Features contributions from a broad range of scholars including John Reid, Annie Tindley and Willeen Keough S. Karly Kehoe is the Canada Research Chair in Atlantic Canada Communities and Michael E. Vance is Professor of History, both at Saint Mary's University, Nova Scotia. Cover images (top) shutterstock.com and (bottom) Harris H.
