Shut Up and Teach’: Confronting the Power of Racialized Hero Discourses of Soldier and Nation
This article offers a discourse analysis of a sample of negative responses to the public position of a group of Canadian professors who contended that a particular non-governmental scholarship glorified war and was indicative of both a creeping Canadian imperialism and an expanding military-educational complex. The author argues that the powerfully negative reaction to the critique of the Project Hero scholarships was rooted in a nationalist fant…
Storying Treaties and the Treaty Relationship: Enhancing Treaty Education through Digital Storytelling
This paper represents preliminary findings of a collaborative educational research endeavour to take seriously calls for reconciliation with Aboriginal people within a Canadian context of ongoing colonialism. More specifically, the research takes place in the province of Saskatchewan, where treaty education is mandatory in K–12 classrooms. In this context, critical race theory is used as our theoretical foundation. Working with elementary student…
Racialized hegemony and nationalist mythologies: Representations of war and peace in high school history textbooks, 1945–2005
This paper examines the ways in which high school Canadian history textbooks authorized from 1945 to the present have represented national participation in wars and peace‐making/keeping operations.

Banal Race‐thinking: Ties of blood, Canadian history textbooks and ethnic nationalism
This paper examines how the idea of “race” is represented in high school Canadian history textbooks. It looks at textbooks authorized by the Province of Ontario between 1940 and 1960 and those authorized after 2000. It is argued in this paper that even though historical racisms have increasingly made their way into Canadian history textbooks as valid and important topics of study, and despite explicit efforts by those responsible for the producti…
Imagining the Antiracist State: Representations of racism in Canadian history textbooks
This paper examines how knowledge about racism has been represented in high school Canadian history textbooks authorized by the Province of Ontario during the 1960s and after the year 2000. I argue that even though historical racisms have increasingly made their way into Canadian history textbooks as valid and important topics of study, the idea of racism continues to be understood largely within a prejudice/discrimination framework that reduces …
