Description
This text is an engaging survey of post-Second World War Canada, exploring ten themes key to the Canadian experience since 1945. An accessible narrative brings together recent scholarship to show how Canadians first re-created the nation following the Second World War, then experienced the fragmentation of the Canada that had emerged, and ultimately remained committed to Canada as a nation-state and community.

Editorial Reviews
"This is a superb book. Throughout the coverage is thorough, balanced, and fair-minded." --David B. Marshall, University of Calgary
