Description

Canada's Odyssey: A Country Based on Incomplete Conquests By Peter H. Russell, University of Toronto Press, 2019. Canada's history is often seen as a story of unity and progress, but the reality is more complex. This comprehensive account explores the country's development from pre-Confederation to the present day, focusing on the three pillars of English Canada, French Canada, and Aboriginal Canada. The author argues that it was the 'incomplete conquests' of these regions that have shaped Canada into a multicultural and multinational society. By examining the intersections and tensions between these three pillars, Russell sheds new light on the country's development. This magisterial work is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of Canadian history and politics.
