For Home and Empire - Voluntary Mobilization in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand during the First World War (Paperback):... For Home and Empire - Voluntary Mobilization in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand during the First World War (Paperback)
Steve Marti
R792 Discovery Miles 7 920 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

For Home and Empire is the first book to compare voluntary wartime mobilization on the Australian, Canadian, and New Zealand home fronts. Steve Marti shows that collective acts of patriotism strengthened communal bonds, while reinforcing class, race, and gender boundaries. Which jurisdiction should provide for a soldier's wife if she moved from Hobart to northern Tasmania? Should Welsh women in Vancouver purchase comforts for hometown soldiers or Welsh ones? Should Maori enlist with a local or an Indigenous battalion? Such questions highlighted the diverging interests of local communities, the dominion governments, and the Empire. Marti applies a settler colonial framework to reveal the geographical and social divides that separated communities as they organized for war.

Fighting with the Empire - Canada, Britain, and Global Conflict, 1867-1947 (Paperback): Steve Marti, William John Pratt Fighting with the Empire - Canada, Britain, and Global Conflict, 1867-1947 (Paperback)
Steve Marti, William John Pratt
R791 Discovery Miles 7 910 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Canadians often characterize their military history as a march toward nationhood, but in the first eighty years of Confederation they were fighting for the British Empire. War forced Canadians to re-examine their relationship to Britain and to one another. As French Canadians, Indigenous peoples, and those with roots in continental Europe and beyond mobilized for war, their participation challenged the imagined homogeneity of Canada as a British nation. Fighting with the Empire examines the paradox of a national contribution to an imperial war effort, finding middle ground between affirming the emergence of a nation through warfare and equating Canadian nationalism with British imperialism.
