A Country Nourished on Self-Doubt: Documents in Post-Confederation Canadian History, Third Edition
The collection of documents in the third edition ofA Country Nourished on Self-Doubtcould be assigned to complement both survey courses and senior-level seminars on post-Confederation history. Important themes include the debate over Riel's sanity, the impact of residential schools on aboriginal peoples, suffrage and the role of women in modern Canada, Canada's participation in World War I and peacekeeping after World War II, attitudes to immigration in the early 1900s, and the development of multiculturalism. The current volume introduces students to political, social, and cultural topics and, with fewer documents in each section, students have a clearer grasp of the main ideas. This revised collection is a valuable teaching resource that allows instructors to enhance the learning environment in their classrooms and encourages students to discover how interesting Canadian history can be.
