Roads to Confederation surveys the way in which scholars from
different disciplines, writing in different periods, viewed the
Confederation process and the making of Canada. Recognizing that
Confederation has been traditionally defined as a process affecting
only British North America's Anglophone and Francophone
communities, Roads to Confederation offers a broader approach to
the making of Canada, and includes scholarship written over 145
years. Volume 2 of this collection focuses on three major themes.
It presents research from the perspective of Canada's regions, with
one chapter focusing exclusively on the competing understandings of
1867 from the perspective of Quebec. Next, it includes material
pertaining to the geopolitical underpinnings of 1867 that addresses
the relationship between Confederation, the U.S. Civil War and
American expansionism, Great Britain and war in the European
theatre. Also included is leading scholarship by Stanley B.
Ryerson, Adele Perry, Fernand Dumond, Ian McKay and James W.
Daschuk that questions whether Confederation itself was a formative
event. Together with its companion volume, this is an invaluable
resource for those who wish to deepen their understanding of the
historical foundations on which Canada rests.
In recognition of Canada's sesquicentennial, this two-volume set
brings together previously published scholarship on Confederation
into one collection. The editors sought to reproduce not only the
"classic" studies about the people, ideas, and events associated
with the passage of the British North America Act, 1867, but also
scholarly works that capture the complexities of the Confederation
project. This ambitious anthology challenges the notion that there
exists one dominant narrative underpinning 1867, and includes
research that focuses on Indigenous peoples. Seven articles written
in French are translated for the first time for publication in this
collection. In the first volume of this anthology, Roads to
Confederation introduces readers to the competing approaches to the
study of Confederation and provides material that considers the
nature of the 1867 project from the perspective of peoples and
communities who have been traditionally excluded from the
literature. It also includes the definitive scholarship on the
ideational underpinnings of the making of Canada as well as several
leading articles that set out different ways to understand the
nature and purpose of the 1867 agreement.
From the mid-1960s through the mid-1990s, Canada was in a state of
ongoing political crisis. Within this thirty-year period, David R.
Cameron was an active participant and observer of Canada's crisis
of national unity. As a political scientist and former senior
public servant, Cameron remains one of the most astute and
respected analysts of Canadian federalism. This volume assembles
some of Cameron's best works on federalism, nationalism, and the
constitution, including journal articles, book chapters, speeches,
newspaper op-eds, and unpublished opinion pieces spanning nearly
fifty years of engagement. In addition, The Daily Plebiscite
includes a conversation between Cameron and Robert C. Vipond on the
"long decade" of the 1980s in Canadian constitutional politics, a
brief history of the mega-constitutional era, and concluding
reflections on the broader lessons that other divided societies
might take from the Canadian experience. Providing rich fare for
anyone interested in questions of federalism, nationalism, and
constitutionalism, The Daily Plebiscite offers an informed,
insider's perspective on the national unity question and considers
the challenges faced by a federal, multinational, and multicultural
country like Canada.

Half of Toronto's population is born outside of Canada and over 140
languages are spoken on the city's streets and in its homes. How to
build community amidst such diversity is one of the global
challenges that Canada - and many other western nations - has to
face head on. Making a Global City critically examines the themes
of diversity and community in a single primary school, the Clinton
Street Public School in Toronto, between 1920 and 1990. From the
swift and seismic shift from a Jewish to southern European
demographic in the 1950s to the gradual globalized community
starting in the 1970s, Vipond eloquently and clearly highlights the
challenges posed by multicultural citizenship in a city that was
dominated by Anglo-Protestants. Contrary to recent well-documented
anti-immigrant rhetoric in the media, Making a Global City
celebrates one of the world's most multicultural cities while
stressing the fact that public schools are a vital tool in
integrating and accepting immigrants and children in liberal
democracies.
Over the past decade, the introspective, insular, and largely
atheoretical style that informed Canadian political science for
most of the postwar period has given way to a deeper engagement
with, and integration into, the global field of comparative
politics. This volume is the first sustained attempt to describe,
analyze, and assess the "comparative turn" in Canadian political
science. Canada's engagement with comparative politics is examined
with a focus on three central questions: In what ways, and how
successfully, have Canadian scholars contributed to the study of
comparative politics? How does study of the Canadian case advance
the comparative discipline? Finally, can Canadian practice and
policy be reproduced in other countries?
