This book provides an overview of Canada's history in the context of the British Empire. It traces the evolution of Canada as a country, placing it within the wider context of British imperial history — from the foundation of the first British bases in Canada in the early 17th century, up until the patriation of the Canadian constitution in 1982. The subject is approached thematically, including specialised topics such as British migration to Canada, the role played by gender in the construction of imperial identities, and the economic relationship between Canada and Britain. Other important chapters examine the history of Newfoundland, the history and legacy of imperial law, and the attitudes of French Canadians and Canada's aboriginal peoples to the imperial relationship. The book's overall focus is on emphasising the part that Canada played in the British Empire, and on understanding the Canadian response towards imperialism
