The Report has been criticized ever since - from British imperialists who found it dangerously liberal to French Canadians who despised Durham for his presumed racism. This new edition of Gerald Craig's abridgement retains his 1963 introduction and adds essays that debate Durham's political assumptions and goals, re-examine the philosophical and historical context in which the Report was created, and review the Report's reception and influence. Janet Ajzenstat reconsiders the report in the context of nineteenth-century debates about the relation between culture and political institutions, arguing that Durham should be seen as a progressive universalist opposed to the divisions of race and creed who wanted to give more freedom to French- and English-Canadians alike. Guy Laforest re-examines the report in terms of British liberal imperialism and twentieth-century English-Canadian perspectives to argue that Durham was a one-sided sociologist and the first in long line who used liberalism for imperialist purposes.Carleton library ;no. 208.HistoryCanadaPolitics and government1837-1838CanadaHistoryRebellion, 1837-1838CanadaPolitics and government1838-1841Quebec (Province)Politics and government19th centuryHistory.971.039Durham John George LambtonEarl of,1792-1840.133467Craig Gerald M218186Durham John George LambtonEarl of,1792-1840.133467MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812923003321Lord Durham's report3948468UNINA
