Mancke, Elizabeth, 1954-

Violence, order, and unrest : a history of British North America, 1749-1876 / edited by Elizabeth Mancke, Jerry Bannister, Denis McKim, and Scott W. See.  Toronto, ON : University of Toronto Press, 2019. xiv, 519 pages : illustrations, maps ; 23 cm.

Nova Scotia Archives Library - use request slip - HN103 V56 2019

This edited collection offers a broad reinterpretation of the origins of Canada. Drawing on cutting-edge research in a number of fields, Violence, Order, and Unrest explores the development of British North America from the mid-eighteenth century through the aftermath of Confederation. The chapters cover an ambitious range of topics, from Indigenous culture to municipal politics, public executions to runaway slave advertisements. Cumulatively, this book examines the diversity of Indigenous and colonial experiences across northern North America and provides fresh perspectives on the crucial roles of violence and unrest in attempts to establish British authority in Indigenous territories. Drawing on specific case studies of law and state formation in English and French Canada, Violence, Order, and Unrest considers patterns of settler colonialism across the century before Confederation. The result is a collection that brings together innovative research in different fields to reconsider the ideology, governance, and political culture that underpinned British North America. In the aftermath of Canada 150, Violence, Order, and Unrest offers a timely contribution to current debates over the nature of Canadian culture and history. It demonstrates that we cannot understand Canada today without considering its origins as a colonial project.

Hedley (Ted) Charles Cornick Goodyear chose to leave his university studies at Mount Allison University to enlist in the Royal Canadian Air Force (R.C.A.F.), following the lead of his older brother Ray. 'Dear Flo, Letters From a Pilot' includes all of the letters that were received by his mother Florence (Flo) between 1941-1944. These letters offer a rare glimpse into the day-to-day life of the pilots who trained on and flew fighter/bombers during the Second World War. They also offer insight into the risks, triumphs and resilience of all those Ted Goodyear met, both before departing for England and while stationed overseas.
