Canada and the British Empire traces the evolution of Canada,
placing it within the wider context of British imperial history.
Beginning with a broad chronological narrative, the volume surveys
the country's history from the foundation of the first British
bases in Canada in the early seventeenth century, until the
patriation of the Canadian constitution in 1982.
Historians approach the subject thematically, analysing subjects
such as British migration to Canada, the role played by gender in
the construction of imperial identities, and the economic
relationship between Canada and Britain. Other important chapters
examine the history of Newfoundland, the history and legacy of
imperial law, and the attitudes of French Canadians and Canada's
aboriginal peoples to the imperial relationship.
The overall focus of the book is on emphasising the part that
Canada played in the British Empire, and on understanding the
Canadian response towards imperialism. With contributions from
leading scholars in the field, it is essential reading for anyone
interested either in the history of Canada or in the history of the
British Empire.
