A Little History of Canada

Throughout his lively and opinionated history, award-winning author H.V. Nelles takes us on a whirlwind tour of the Canadian land and inhabitants from the earliest human occupation to the present. Canada’s enduring theme, he argues, is transformation. The country has undergone several fundamental changes, from Indigenous occupation, to French and British colonization, to the rise of an independent nation – and it is doing so yet again. Revised throughout, this 150th anniversary edition includes new material addressing issues currently affecting Canada including Indigenous peoples and their relationships with Canada, immigration, national resources and fossil fuels, and the Arctic.
