This edited collection offers a broad reinterpretation of the
origins of Canada. Drawing on cutting-edge research in a number of
fields, Violence, Order, and Unrest explores the development of
British North America from the mid-eighteenth century through the
aftermath of Confederation. The chapters cover an ambitious range
of topics, from Indigenous culture to municipal politics, public
executions to runaway slave advertisements. Cumulatively, this book
examines the diversity of Indigenous and colonial experiences
across northern North America and provides fresh perspectives on
the crucial roles of violence and unrest in attempts to establish
British authority in Indigenous territories. In the aftermath of
Canada 150, Violence, Order, and Unrest offers a timely
contribution to current debates over the nature of Canadian culture
and history, demonstrating that we cannot understand Canada today
without considering its origins as a colonial project.
