Presidential Address. Starting with Water
How does history look when we begin with water? Here, I want to address the possibilities of thinking about water, particularly through the its relationship to colonialism, and especially in the watery, geographical centre of North America that we might call the western edge of the Annishinaabeg world, and we also might call the space between modern Winnipeg and the Lake of the Woods. To discuss histories of water here, I will draw on Indigenous …
Discours présidentiel. À commencer par l’eau. Le Canada, le colonialisme et l’histoire en 2019
À quoi ressemblerait l’histoire si on commençait par l’eau ? Je souhaite parler ici des possibilités de penser l’eau, en particulier dans sa relation avec le colonialisme, et surtout au centre hydrographique de l’Amérique du Nord, que nous pourrions appeler la bordure occidentale du monde anishinaabe, et que nous pourrions aussi désigner comme l’espace entre la Winnipeg d’aujourd’hui et le lac des Bois. Pour parler des histoires de l’eau ici, je …
Ramsay Cook
Ramsay Cook (1931–2016) was a respected scholar and a much-loved friend whose scholarship and graduate supervision helped a new generation of historians rewrite the history of Canada. To mark his life and career, the Canadian Historical Association hosted a round table at its 2017 annual meeting which provided the basis for the short essays in this “Life in History” section dedicated to Cook. Donald Wright uses Barker Fairley’s portrait of a youn…
Illicit Love
Bold in approach and beautifully crafted, Illicit Love is a multi-layered and nuanced account of the intersection between interracial relationships, marriage law and sovereignty centered on the lan
Beyond Biography, Beyond Canada
How can feminist scholarship, postcolonial history and Indigenous Studies prompt historians to reflect on the categories of biography and Confederation? Reflecting on her research on the lives of James Douglas, Amelia Connolly Douglas and nineteenth-century north-western North America more generally, Adele Perry argues that historians need to go beyond biography and Confederation to consider more complicated ways of engaging individual lives and …
Within and Without the Nation
Moving beyond well-known comparisons with Britain and the United States, the fifteen essays in this collection connect Canada with Latin America, the Caribbean, and the wider Pacific world, as well as with other parts of the British Empire
Colonial Relations
A study of the lived history of nineteenth-century British imperialism through the lives of one extended family in North America, the Caribbean and the United Kingdom. The prominent colonial governor James Douglas was born in 1803 in what is now Guyana, probably to a free woman of colour and an itinerant Scottish father. In the North American fur-trade, he married Amelia Connolly, the daughter of a Cree mother and an Irish-Canadian father. Adele …
Vocabularies of Slavery and Anti-Slavery
This article examines the particular work that languages of slavery and abolition did in British North American fur-trade territories with an eye to comparing these histories with those of slavery and anti-slavery in Australia. Temporally, it focuses on the two decades following the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1833, and geographically it examines the parts of northwestern North America claimed by Britain and administered by the …
Women, Gender, and Empire
This chapter examines the role of women in the historiographies of Canada and the British Empire. In the past three decades feminist scholars have recognized the failure of historians to acknowledge the importance of women and gender in history in general. In response, scholars studying Canadian history have crafted rich and substantial histories attesting to the presence of women and the importance of gender in the history of Canada and the Brit…

The Autocracy of Love and the Legitimacy of Empire
This paper examines the politics of intimacy, power, and scandal at Metlakahtlah, a Church of England mission village in northern British Columbia, Canada, from 1862 to 1885, in order to cast light on settler colonialism and its aftermath. It particularly examines Metlakahtlah's main missionary, William Duncan, his relationships with young female converts and missionary women, and, perhaps more importantly, the stories that were told about them. …
Canada and the Empires of the Past
Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip paid a visit to the prairie city where I live last month, and people stayed away in droves. Across the country, the tour met with small crowds and sceptical assessments of the monarchy's future; there are many regional peculiarities in modern Canada, but disinterest in imperial pageantry apparently is not among them. This may not provide an answer to that shopworn question of North American historiography – na…
From "the hot-bed of vice" to the "good and well-ordered Christian home
This article analyzes the relationship between First Nations housing and reform in British Columbia between 1849 and 1886. Utilizing published and archival evidence drawn from church and government sources, the essay examines reformers' conceptions of First Nations housing and their concrete efforts to improve it. The essay thereby suggests that housing was an important site in the colonial encounter and that the colonial encounter itself was key…
