Between 1849 and 1930, schooling in what is now British Columbia
supported the development of a capitalist settler society. Lessons
in Legitimacy examines government-assisted schooling for Indigenous
and non-Indigenous peoples - public schools, Indian Day Schools,
and Indian Residential Schools - in one analytical frame. Sean
Carleton demonstrates how church and state officials administered
different school systems that trained Indigenous and settler
children and youth to take up and accept unequal roles in the
emerging social order. This important study reveals how an
understanding of the historical uses of schooling can inform
contemporary discussions about the role of education in
reconciliation and improving Indigenous-settler relations.

The work of Bryan D. Palmer, one of North America's leading
historians, has influenced the fields of labour history, social
history, discourse analysis, communist history, and Canadian
history, as well as the theoretical frameworks surrounding them.
Palmer's work reveals a life dedicated to dissent and the difficult
task of imagining alternatives by understanding the past in all of
its contradictions, victories, and failures. Dissenting Traditions
gathers Palmer's contemporaries, students, and sometimes critics to
examine and expand on the topics and themes that have defined
Palmer's career, from labour history to Marxism and communist
politics.
May Day: A Graphic History of Protest traces the development of
International Workers' Day, May 1st, against the ever-changing

improve their lives, with a particular focus on the struggles of
May 1st, the comic includes the reader as part of this history, and
the story concludes that "We are all part of this historical
struggle; it's our history and our future."
