Canada: A People’s History Volumes 1 & 2
(2000, 2001, McClelland & Stewart)
How can we know where we’re going if we don’t know where we are coming from? This question applies as much to nations as it does to travellers, and it rings especially loudly in the ears of Canadians. Canada: A People’s History doesn’t tell us where we are going, but it shows us where we have come from.
