Historians have long engaged in passionate debate about collective
memory and national identity. Alan Gordon focuses on one national
hero - Jacques Cartier - to explore how notions about the past have
been passed from generation to generation in English- and
French-speaking Canada and used to present particular ideas about
the world. Nineteenth-century celebrations of Cartier reflected a
new understanding of history that accompanied the arrival of
modernity in North America. This sensibility, in turn, influenced
the political and cultural currents of nation building in Canada.
Cartier may have been a point of contact between English and French
Canada, but the nature of that contact, as Gordon shows, had
profound limitations.
