Times change, lives change, and the terms we need to describe our
literature or society or condition-what Raymond Williams calls
"keywords"-change with them. Perhaps the most significant
development in the quarter-century since Eli Mandel edited his
anthology Contexts of Canadian Criticism has been the growing
recognition that not only do different people need different terms,
but the same terms have different meanings for different people and
in different contexts. Nation, history, culture, art, identity-the
positions we take discussing these and other issues can lead to
conflict, but also hold the promise of a new sort of community.
Speaking of First Nations people and their literature, Beth Brant
observes that "Our connections ... are like the threads of a
weaving. ... While the colour and beauty of each thread is unique
and important, together they make a communal material of strength
and durability." New Contexts of Canadian Criticism is designed to
be read, to work, in much the same manner.
