Drawing on the existing literature,-a framework of analysis was created comprised of four categories: 1) language; 2) visual representation; 3) positioning and; 4) critical analysis of content. Each of these categories was further broken into a series of related subcategories in order to examine in depth and detail, the portrayal of women in these two textbooks.

    Dialogue on Censuses and Provenance Case Illustration: Madison, Florida Patricia A. Kaufmann here are diff erences of opinion among Confederate students on the way information is ac- Tcumulated and how it should best be recorded for censuses and provenance. Provenance, by dictionary defi nition, is the place of origin or earliest-known history of something, tracing it to the current day. Census criteria on the CSA website states the listings “must be supported by an image in a book, periodical, or named auction catalog.” Most times, an auction house will not have a named sale when only one or a few items are con- signed, even if they are rare. Th ere are some notable exceptions. Or, perhaps the consignor prefers to remain anonymous at that time. Is the person then to be excised from provenance for all time, if it is easily proven and accepted he owned the subject rarity? I understand these census mandates are made in an abundance of caution to ensure accuracy. But I respectfully disagree. In my opinion, these requirements are too restrictive. Th ere are excep- tions to every rule. It is no coincidence that the website census criteria are similar to those used for the Confeder- ate States of America Catalog and Handbook of Postage Stamps and Postal History. However, for the catalog, information did not need to have been published; the editors simply had to have an image on fi le for an item to be listed in the catalog. An image from a private non-published source was CSA Authentication Service Make sure you are getting what you paid for Have that new purchase authenticated by the CSA Authentication Service— a service that examines only Confederate stamps and postal history.

As such, besides examining the lives of prime ministers and other elites, we will also analyse, for example, what things were like for ordinary people; besides focussing upon the French-English divide, we will also look at issues revolving around gender roles and Canada’s First Peoples; and besides noting cultural expressions such as "high art," we will also touch upon things such as various forms of popular entertainment. The general story will come from the lectures. However, your outline will refer to chapters from the Francis, Smith and Jones texts, Journeys. You should read these, especially if parts of the lecture remain unclear. The textbook will provide background; it will not replicate the lectures. Required readings will consist of a series of primary source documents. The lectures will refer to many of those documents, suggesting how they might be understood in relation to the general flow of events. Thus, on the mid-term test and final examination, you should be able to utilize the required readings and the lecture material in responding to questions.

  • Immigration Reform in Canada and the United States
    1 IMMIGRATION REFORM IN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS Mai Nguyen (York University) Garth Stevenson (Brock University) Paper prepared for presentation to the annual meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association, Vancouver, British Columbia, June 4, 2008. 2 It is not surprising that most public policies in Canada and the United States are fairly similar, nor is it surprising that innovations in public policy have often occurred at about the same time in the two countries. Similar economic, social and cultural conditions in the two countries might be expected to produce such a result. It is also a fact, although not always acknowledged by Canadians, that American innovations in policy have often been copied in Canada within a few years. John A. Macdonald’s National Policy was based on policies implemented by the United States in the 1860s. More recent examples would include anti- combines legislation in the early 20th century, the largely abortive Bennett New Deal of the 1930s, P.C. 1003 of 1944 (modelled on the Wagner Act), the formation of Via Rail (modelled on Amtrak), the deregulation of the transportation industries in the 1980s, and even the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Immigration is one area of public policy in which the two countries have followed somewhat similar, although not identical, paths. Both accepted large numbers of immigrants from European sources during the century that followed the war of 1812. Both sought to limit Asian immigration by overtly discriminatory means beginning in the latter part of the 19th century. Both, by more subtle means, limited immigration from southern and eastern Europe in the first half of the 20th century.

  • Canada: If You Build It, People Will Come
    CANADA: IF YOU BUILD IT, PEOPLE WILL COME Robin V. Sears Contributing Writer Robin Sears looks at the history of immigration policy in Canada and finds that almost in spite of ourselves we have created, in this nation of immgrants, one of the most successful and diverse countries in the world. He also finds, on this political journey, episodes that Canada shouldn’t be proud of, Chinese railway workers in one century, Jewish refugees in the next, are two that come to mind. He’s also found, in the recurring efforts to reform immigration, that the system is always broke and needs fixing. And that, inevitably, what goes around comes around. Retraçant l’histoire de la politique d’immigration canadienne, notre collaborateur Robin Sears observe que nous avons créé en cette terre d’immigrants l’un des pays les plus prospères et les plus diversifiés du monde. D’un siècle à l’autre, il n’en relève pas moins certains épisodes qui entachent cette réussite, notamment ceux des travailleurs du rail chinois et des réfugiés juifs. Il note enfin qu’en dépit d’efforts périodiques de réforme, notre système d’immigration reste boiteux et doit être révisé en profondeur. Sinon, nous en paierons inévitablement le prix. anada’s first great national dream — our conti- nyone who has ever worked in politics in Canada, nent-straddling, glittering ribbon of steel, from sea A fighting for constituents’ cases as an elected member C to shining sea — always had a dark side.
