Commemorating Canada is a concise narrative overview of the
development of history and commemoration in Canada, designed for
use in courses on public history, historical memory, heritage
preservation, and related areas. Examining why, when, where, and
for whom historical narratives have been important, Cecilia Morgan
describes the growth of historical pageantry, popular history,
textbooks, historical societies, museums, and monuments through the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Showing how Canadians have
clashed over conflicting interpretations of history and how they
have come together to create shared histories, she demonstrates the
importance of history in shaping Canadian identity. Though public
history in both French and English Canada was written predominantly
by white, middle-class men, Morgan also discusses the activism and
agency of women, immigrants, and Indigenous peoples. The book
concludes with a brief examination of present-day debates over
Canada's history and Canadians' continuing interest in their pasts.
