  • 1 the University of Western Ontario Department of History 2014-2015
    The University of Western Ontario Department of History 2014-2015 Canada and the United States History 4701E Dr. Jeffery Vacante Weds. 9:30-11:30 am Email: [email protected] in Stevenson Hall 1119 Office hours: Tues. 1:30-3:30 pm in Lawson Hall 2218 This seminar offers a comparative exploration of Canadian and American societies. It examines the cultural, political, social, and geographical factors that influenced the development of these North American societies. In addition, this seminar examines the relations between the two countries. The intention of this seminar is not to explore the degree to which each society resembles or differs from the other. Rather, it is to examine historical forces that have shaped each society. To that end, we will explore the roots of each country’s political institutions, the manner in which the land influenced peoples’ ideas about liberty, the state, class, and the ways in which each country’s literatures express different world views. In this course, students will, in addition to examining the history of Canada and the United States, sharpen their ability to read and think critically, develop their analytical skills, learn to organize and present their thoughts and research in the form of academic essays, and practice the art of expressing their ideas in the seminar in such a manner that demonstrates their respect for the opinions of others as well as their own critical engagement with the course readings and the world around them. Texts: Damien-Claude Bélanger, Prejudice and Pride George Grant, Lament for a Nation Additional readings to be made available on-line or on reserve Grade Breakdown: First Book Review 20% Second Book Review 20% Research Essay 40% Participation 20% Requirements: Students are expected to come to class every week prepared to discuss the readings.

WEAVER INTRODUCTION: APPROACHES TO THE HISTORY OF URBAN REFORM The historiography of reform in North America permits a clear distinction between Canada and the United States. Reform occupied for thirty years a vital position in the writing of the Republic's history. It is tempting to attribute the emphasis to ideological considerations with "pursuit of happiness" and an unabashed sense of triumph generating works like Eric Goldman's Rendezvous with Destiny (1952) and a host of studies on the Progressive Era and the New Deal.

  • 158 Acadiensis What Happened to Canadian Intellectual History?
    158 Acadiensis Weight Champion, Mysterious Billy Smith, 1900 World Welter Weight Cham­ pion, Eddie Connolly, and four time winner of the Canadian Ladies Golf title, Mabel Thomson. In addition Flood details the history of a variety of sports teams from baseball to basketball to bowling. Like so many other sport historians Flood is most concerned with specific details and (male) achievements rather than with historical analysis. What makes his book more successful than most is not the penetrating insights, but the thorough research on a broad topic. While class-based sports, interprovincial rivalry, professionalism, and issues from out-migration to transportation are often peripheral to the main story, Flood has at least given a hint of both the rich sporting heritage of the area and the potential of Atlantic Canadian sport historiography. The first step in beginning to examine the cultural and sporting traditions of the region is to admit that they exist. Most of these books fail in historical analysis, but sadly enough they still represent a step forward in learning about the Atlantic region's sporting heritage. If the work fails to qualify as viable history that is only because historians have been neglectful. At the very least, these books of popular history rather than academic history have exploded one myth about the Atlantic region. In 1970, Kevin Jones argued at the First Canadian Symposium on the History of Sport and Physical Education that there was little to say about Eastern Canadian athletes: The Maritimes, unlike the Prairies, Ontario and Quebec were economi­ cally depressed and sport was never encouraged to the extent that it was in other parts of Canada.

  • Idealist and Pragmatist Strains of Canadian Thought on Technology and Nationalism
    Arms to Communications: Idealist and Pragmatist Strains of Canadian Thought on Technology and Nationalism Marco Adria University of Alberta Abstract: As information and communications technologies (ICTs) become an increasingly important part of the Canadian social, cultural, and economic fabric, the question of how such technologies interact with national autonomy and with the nationalist impulse emerges once again. This article considers a critical moment of another era in which technology’s relationship to nationalism became a matter of public and intellectual discourse. The missile crisis of 1962 in Canada highlighted the conflicting prospects for importing foreign technology while maintaining national autonomy. George Grant and Ramsay Cook took opposing views in this debate. The Grant-Cook dialectic is proposed as a means by which a contemporary approach may be developed to the relationship between the widespread use of ICTs and the potential for nationalism in Canada. Résumé : À mesure que les technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) jouent un rôle de plus en plus important dans les domaines social, culturel et économique au Canada, la question de la manière dont ces technologies inte- ragissent avec l’autonomie nationale et l’impulsion nationaliste émerge à nou- veau. Cet article considère un moment critique d’une autre époque pendant laquelle le rapport de la technologie au nationalisme est devenu un sujet de débat public et intellectuel. Au Canada, la crise des missiles de 1962 a mis en relief les objectifs contradictoires d’importer des technologies étrangères tout en mainte- nant l’autonomie nationale. George Grant et Ramsay Cook ont pris des positions opposées dans ce débat.

  • National Fate and Empire: George Grant and Canadian Foreign Policy
    National Fate and Empire: George Grant and Canadian Foreign Policy by Scott Staring A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Scott Patrick Staring 2010 National Fate and Empire: George Grant and Canadian Foreign Policy Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Scott Staring Department of Political Science University of Toronto Abstract This study examines the foreign policy views of the Canadian thinker, George Grant. It focuses on the years between Mackenzie King’s re-election in 1935 and the Liberal party’s return to power under Lester Pearson in 1963. During this period, Grant argued, Canada was transformed from a British dependent to a satellite of the United States, a process that he believed had been accelerated by the continentalist economic and security policies of successive Liberal governments. As a young man during World War II, Grant admired the United States of F. D. Roosevelt. But as he began to contemplate the threat that a postwar Pax Americana posed to the societies of the Old World, and, ultimately, to Canada, his misgivings grew. His attempts to understand the emerging order led him to a critical study of modern liberalism, which he believed provided the chief philosophical justification for America’s expansion. Unlike Marxists who saw liberalism as simply an ideology of ii individual greed, Grant claimed that it succeeded largely by appealing to our hopes for social progress. These hopes found their loftiest expression in the belief that liberalism’s internationalization would produce the conditions for the overcoming of war within and between nations.
