Описание: In 2008, the Canadian government established a Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) to review the history of the residential school system, a brutal colonial project that killed and injured many Indigenous children and left a legacy of trauma and pain. In Fragments of Truth Naomi Angel analyzes the visual culture of reconciliation and memory in relation to this complex and painful history. In her analyses of archival photographs from the residential school system, representations of the schools in popular media and literature, and testimonies from TRC proceedings, Angel traces how the TRC served as a mechanism through which memory, trauma, and visuality became apparent. She shows how many Indigenous communities were able to use the TRC process as a way to claim agency over their memories of the schools. Bringing to light the ongoing costs of transforming settler states into modern nations, Angel demonstrates how the TRC offers a unique optic through which to survey the long history of colonial oppression of Canada’s Indigenous populations.

Описание: For decades, the Chinese Rescue Home was a feature of the landscape of Victoria, British Columbia. Originally a refuge for Chinese prostitutes and slave girls rescued from captivity, it became a residence and school where the Methodist Women’s Missionary Society attempted to reform Chinese and Japanese girls and women. They did so, in part, by teaching them domestic skills meant to ease their integration into Western society. This book offers the first in-depth history and analysis of this iconic institution and expands our understanding of the complex interplay between gender, race, and class in BC during this time.

Описание: Canada’s Mechanized Infantry explores the development of the Canadian Army’s infantry after the First World War. Modern studies of technology and war have tended to focus on tanks and armour, but soldiers discovered that military success really depends on the combination of infantry, armour, and artillery. Peter Kasurak demonstrates how the Canadian army implemented successful infantry vehicles and doctrine to further its military goals during the Second World War until organizational constraints took hold in the postwar period. This book reveals the challenges of transforming the infantry into a twenty-first-century combat force by integrating soldiers, vehicles, weapons, and electronics.
The Victorian soldier-artist, Henry Edward Baines, has left us a unique legacy of his time in North America -- his lively and descriptive journal of a pleasure cruise around Lake Ontario in the summer of 1863, illustrated with dozens of vibrant watercolour paintings and simple pen-and-ink sketches.
THE CRUISE OF THE BREEZE is an annotated version of Henry's journal reproduced in its entirety, together with the story of his early life, a discussion of his artwork, and the details of the events leading to his tragic death in 1866 in the Great Fire of Quebec, all set in the context of the British Empire of the mid-19th Century.
War between the United States of America and Great Britain seemed imminent in December, 1861, when the young Royal Artillery officer, Lieutenant Henry Baines, was dispatched to Canada along with thousands of other British troops. While war was averted, Henry remained on duty in Canada for the next five years.
In August, 1863, while stationed at Toronto, Henry joined several friends aboard the private yacht, Breeze, for a cruise around Lake Ontario. The illustrated journal that Henry kept includes his entertaining views on colonial Canada, comments on events of the American Civil War and encounters with the U.S. Army, as well as many other adventures he had and people he met at places like Cobourg, Prince Edward County and Kingston on the Canadian side of the lake, and at Sackets Harbor, Oswego and Rochester on the American side.
THE CRUISE OF THE BREEZE brings a unique perspective to a fascinating and turbulent period of Canadian and American history, and gives us a glimpse into the life and times of this remarkable Victorian soldier, artist, yachtsman and hero.

Описание: Exploring the professional and political ideas of Newfoundland naval governors during the French Wars, this book traces the evolution of the Naval Governorship and administration of the region, shedding a light on a critical period of its early modern history. Contextualising Newfoundland as part of Britain’s broader Atlantic Empire, Morrow focuses on the years 1793-1815 as it transitioned from a largely migratory fishery and ‘nursery of seaman’ to a colonial settlement with a resident British and Irish population. With a diversifying economy and growing demography amidst the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, the governors of Newfoundland faced a unique set of challenges. Drawing upon various primary and secondary sources, Morrow provides a comprehensive account of their responses to the perceived needs of those they governed - both settler and indigenous - and reveals the professional attitudes and attributes they brought to bear on both their civil and military responsibilities.
