What is Canada? What makes up this diverse, complex and often contested nation-state? What was its founding moment? And who are its people? Drawing on her many years of experience as a scholar, writer and teacher of Canadian history, Conrad offers astute answers to these difficult questions. Beginning in Canada's deep past with the arrival of its Aboriginal peoples, she traces its history through the conquest by Europeans, the American Revolutionary War and the industrialization of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to its prosperous present. Despite its successes and its popularity as a destination for immigrants from across the world, Canada remains a curiously reluctant player on the international stage. This intelligent, concise and lucid book explains just why that is. 410 0$aCambridge concise histories. 607 $aCanada$xHistory 676 $a971 700 $aConrad$b Margaret$0252887 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790305703321 996 $aA concise history of Canada$93823938 997 $aUNINA
