The 150 Books of Influence Project Committee recognizes the support of the Province of Nova Scotia. We are pleased to work in partnership with the Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage to develop and promote our cultural resources for all Nova Scotians. Final publication date November 2017. Books are our finest calling card to the world. The stories they share travel far and wide, and contribute greatly to our global presence. Books have the power to profoundly express the complex and rich cultural life that makes Nova Scotia a place people want to visit, live, work and play. This year, the 150th Anniversary of Confederation provided Public Libraries across the province with a unique opportunity to involve Nova Scotians in a celebration of our literary heritage. The value of public engagement in the 150 Books of Influence project is demonstrated by the astonishing breadth and quality of titles listed within. The booklist showcases the diversity and creativity of authors, both past and present, who have called Nova Scotia home.

    Historica Canada Education Portal Angus Walters Overview This lesson is based on viewing the Angus Walters biography from The Canadians series. Walters built and raced the Bluenose schooner. Racing and preserving the Bluenose became a lifelong passion for Walters, and its image is one of Canada's enduring symbols. Aims Students will study the life and leadership of Angus Walters, as well as learning about the historical context and importance of the Bluenose. Students will also achieve a greater understanding of the issues involved with heritage pride and preservation. Background One of Canada's most enduring images is engraved on the Canadian dime. The Bluenose was Canada's pride and joy, a schooner that became an international racing legend, and the man behind the Bluenose was Angus Walters. Angus was a man whose fame - eighteen years as Master of the Bluenose - would overwhelm him and completely overshadow his personal life. His passions were all professional, and it was his family who paid the price. He was born on 9 June 1881, in Lunenberg, Nova Scotia, one of twelve children of a fisherman. By age thirteen he was working as a "throater" - the person who cuts the throat of the fish - on a six month voyage for his father. By fifteen he was a Doryman who'd weathered many voyages, confronted danger, and harbored a growing appetite for adventure. Angus became Captain of his own vessel while he was still a teenager. He sailed the high seas of the North Atlantic and as far as the Caribbean. When he could, he'd let his vessel go "all out" and "race" the waves.

  • A Legal History of Racism in Canada, 1900-1950, Radio Free Dixie
    1080 ALBERTA LAW REVIEW VOL. 38(4) 2001 RACING THE NATION Colour-Coded: A Legal History of Racism in Canada, 1900-1950, Constance Backhouse (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1999) Radio Free Dixie: Robert F. Williams & the Roots of Black Power, Timothy B. Tyson (Chapel Hill & London: University of North Carolina Press, 1999) Stirrings in the Jug: Black Politics in the Post-Segregation Era, Adolph Reed, Jr. (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1999) In the United States few would argue that race is not a central divide, cutting through almost all aspects of social, economic, and cultural life, and drawing a line in the political sand of civil society. For Canadians, the realities of race have, supposedly, been more obscured. These realities are hidden in histories that mythologize marginalization and that wash partially clean the blood-stained record of violence long waged against those marked by the arbitrary, historically-contextualized codes of racialized 'colour': white vs non­ white. Yet race, for all its mysticized social construction, is increasingly recognized as a 2001 CanLIIDocs 164 potent factor in Canada's past, precisely because it is a troubling 'problem' in our present. "Racing the nation" means acknowledging the powerful continuities, not in the pseudo­ scientific biological distinctions of census-taking and physiological difference, but in the historically-embedded racisms that have articulated whiteness as power, and the practices that flow from this, segmenting society in diverse ways. The disparate subterranean streams that flow from this process have fed, over the centuries, a common well of racism. Out of this well institutions and individuals have quenched their thirst for order, progress, and democracy in poisonous, if often unappreciated, rationalizations of brutalizing inequality.

  • Cultural Assets of Nova Scotia African Nova Scotian Tourism Guide 2 Come Visit the Birthplace of Canada’S Black Community
    Cultural Assets of NovA scotiA African Nova scotian tourism Guide 2 Come visit the birthplace of Canada’s Black community. Situated on the east coast of this beautiful country, Nova Scotia is home to approximately 20,000 residents of African descent. Our presence in this province traces back to the 1600s, and we were recorded as being present in the provincial capital during its founding in 1749. Come walk the lands that were settled by African Americans who came to the Maritimes—as enslaved labour for the New England Planters in the 1760s, Black Loyalists between 1782 and 1784, Jamaican Maroons who were exiled from their home lands in 1796, Black refugees of the War of 1812, and Caribbean immigrants to Cape Breton in the 1890s. The descendants of these groups are recognized as the indigenous African Nova Scotian population. We came to this land as enslaved and free persons: labourers, sailors, farmers, merchants, skilled craftspersons, weavers, coopers, basket-makers, and more. We brought with us the remnants of our cultural identities as we put down roots in our new home and over time, we forged the two together and created our own unique cultural identity. Today, some 300 years later, there are festivals and gatherings throughout the year that acknowledge and celebrate the vibrant, rich African Nova Scotian culture. We will always be here, remembering and honouring the past, living in the present, and looking towards the future. 1 table of contents Halifax Metro region 6 SoutH SHore and YarMoutH & acadian SHoreS regionS 20 BaY of fundY & annapoliS ValleY region 29 nortHuMBerland SHore region 40 eaStern SHore region 46 cape Breton iSland region 50 See page 64 for detailed map.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.
