A History of Canadian Culture
“This book by historian Jonathan Vance is full of stories that will have you muttering, ‘I didn’t know that’. With pleasure too, because the guy is really a storyteller. Beginning with a survey of what is known of the aboriginal cultures, Vance’s narrative path carries us through the long transformation of the arts in Canada, from an establishment tool for controlling public behaviour to an instrument of self- and national expression.” Patrick Watson
