Globalizing Confederation brings together original research from 17
scholars to provide an international perspective on Canada's
Confederation in 1867. In seeking to ascertain how others
understood, constructed or considered the changes taking place in
British North America, Globalizing Confederation unpacks a range of
viewpoints, including those from foreign governments, British
colonies, and Indigenous peoples. Exploring perspectives from the
Austro-Hungarian Empire, France, Latin America, New Zealand, and
the Vatican, among others, as well as considering the impact of
Confederation on the rights of Indigenous peoples during this
period, the contributors to this collection present how Canada's
Confederation captured the imaginations of people around the world
in the 1860s. Globalizing Confederation reveals how some viewed the
1867 changes to Canada as part of a reorganization of the British
Empire, while others contextualized it in the literature on
colonization more broadly, while still others framed the event as
part of a re-alignment or power shift among the Spanish, French and
British empires. While many people showed interest in the
Confederation debates, others, such as South Africa and the West
Indies, expressed little interest in the establishment of Canada
until it had profound effects on their corners of the global
political landscape.
