Canada 1911

Autor David Mackenzie, Patrice Dutil
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 iul 2011
One hundred years ago, Canadians went to the polls to decide the fate of their country in an election that raised issues vital to Canada's national independence and its place in the world. Canadians faced a clear choice between free trade with the United States and fidelity to the British Empire, and the decisions they made in September 1911 helped shape Canada's political and economic history for the rest of the century. Canada 1911 revisits and re-examines this momentous turn in Canadian history, when Canadians truly found themselves at a parting of the ways. It was Canada's first great modern election and one of the first expressions of the birth of modern Canada. The poet Rudyard Kipling famously wrote at the time that this election was nothing less than a fight for Canada's soul. This book will explain why.

Recenzii

"Dutil and MacKenzie are to be congratulated for bringing the issues that dominated these important elections to the attention of modern readers in such entertaining and informative style." - Literary Review of Canada November 2011
the meticulous attention to detail makes Canada 1911 compelling. - Canadas History April 2012
"...this is a very useful addition to the literature and illustrates the advantages of collaboration between different but mutually sympathetic disciplines." - Colin Campbell, University of Western Ontario, British Journal of Canadian Studies, Vol. 25, No. 2, 2012
"This new volume is the perfect primer that just might lead to a resurgence in interest in Laurier and the lesser known Borden." -- The Hill Times and Kingston Whig Standard, July 2011
"It is a well-pace narrative for a popular audience." -- The Winnipeg Free Press, Aug 27, 2011
"Dutil and MacKenzie have succeeded in bringing to life the Canada of a century ago in their fascinating, well-written, and well-researched book." -- The Halifax Chronicle Herald, Aug 28, 2011
Popularly related, yet thoroughly researched, this volume will delight all of us who are fascinated by political campaigns and their often-disturbing results. -- OHS Bulletin, Feb 2012
"Canada 1911 provides an in-depth look at a decisive election. [the authors] manage to make it clear why the election was so important to Canada, and why the themes heard in 1911 still resonate today. And there is no arguing that it was a key event in Canadian history." -- The Victoria Times-Colonist, Sept 25, 2011
