This is the second of three volumes in an important collection that
recounts the sweeping history of law in Canada. The period covered
in this volume witnessed both continuity and change in the
relationships among law, society, Indigenous peoples, and white
settlers. The authors explore how law was as important to the
building of a new urban industrial nation as it had been to the
establishment of colonies of agricultural settlement and resource
exploitation. The book addresses the most important developments in
the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries, including
legal pluralism and the co-existence of European and Indigenous
law. It pays particular attention to the Metis and the Red River
Resistance, the Indian Act, and the origins and expansion of
residential schools in Canada. The book is divided into four parts:
the law and legal institutions; Indigenous peoples and Dominion
law; capital, labour, and criminal justice; and those less favoured
by the law. A History of Law in Canada examines law as a dynamic
process, shaped by and affecting other histories over the long
term.
