    Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook

    Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook BA Hons (Trent), War Studies (RMC) This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences UNSW@ADFA 2005 Acknowledgements Sir Winston Churchill described the act of writing a book as to surviving a long and debilitating illness. As with all illnesses, the afflicted are forced to rely heavily on many to see them through their suffering. Thanks must go to my joint supervisors, Dr. Jeffrey Grey and Dr. Steve Harris. Dr. Grey agreed to supervise the thesis having only met me briefly at a conference. With the unenviable task of working with a student more than 10,000 kilometres away, he was harassed by far too many lengthy emails emanating from Canada. He allowed me to carve out the thesis topic and research with little constraints, but eventually reined me in and helped tighten and cut down the thesis to an acceptable length. Closer to home, Dr. Harris has offered significant support over several years, leading back to my first book, to which he provided careful editorial and historical advice. He has supported a host of other historians over the last two decades, and is the finest public historian working in Canada. His expertise at balancing the trials of writing official history and managing ongoing crises at the Directorate of History and Heritage are a model for other historians in public institutions, and he took this dissertation on as one more burden. I am a far better historian for having known him.

Abstract The Great War was a formative event for men who came of age between 1914 and 1918. They believed the experience forged them into a distinct generation. This collective identification more than shaped a sense of self; it influenced understanding of the conflict’s meaning. Canadian historians, however, have overlooked the war’s generational impact, partly because they reject notions of a disillusioned Lost Generation. Unlike European or American youths, it is argued that Canadian veterans did not suffer postwar disillusionment. Rather, they embraced the war alongside a renewed Canadian nationalism.

He arrived in 1732. Today, Canadian Jews number about 392,000 and form the world’s third or fourth largest Jewish community. As late as the first half of the twentieth century, Canadian Jews experienced a high level of discrimination in accommodation, employment, property ownership, and everyday interaction. Despite these impediments, they proved to be highly resilient. They achieved rapid upward mobility and made many important contributions to Canadian medicine, jurisprudence, science, education, government, the economy, and the arts. Upward mobility and increasing acceptance on the part of the Canadian main- stream have had what many community members regard as a downside: These social processes heightened the prospect of cultural assimilation, loss of traditional languages, and intermarriage. Many in the community are also deeply concerned about the recurrence of a stubborn malady; since the early 2000s, anti-Israel sentiment has sometimes engendered antisemitism, and over the past few years, the rise of “white nationalism” (dimly mirroring the same trend in the US) has resulted in increased anti-Jewish harassment and violence.
  • October 2020

    October 2020

    MESSAGE FROM CONSUL-GENERAL SASAYAMA TAKUYA October 2020 It has already been two months since I assumed my post here at the Consulate-General of Japan in Toronto. Unfortunately, this time also saw a resurgence of COVID-19 infections in parts of Ontario. Starting Oct. 10, modified Stage 2 restrictions from the framework of reopening Ontario were implemented in such regions as Toronto and Peel, and the number of affected regions has increased subsequently. As a result, regulations have been tightened once again for certain businesses such as restaurants and fitness clubs. This is undoubtedly an extremely difficult situation for those whose establishments have been affected. I sincerely hope conditions related to the pandemic will improve quickly, and that the reopening of the economy will soon be fully back on track. This autumn, the widely celebrated Toronto International Film Festival, as well as the Toronto Japanese Film Festival hosted by the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (JCCC), took place online. While the usual festivities were missed, I did enjoy some of the films at home, and considered this to be a new way of enjoying these events. Even under such circumstances, however, I was able to introduce myself to many people online as the new Consul-General of Japan in Toronto. ©Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario Mr. Rick Nicholls, Deputy Speaker, The Hon.

During what the present thesis calls the “crisis of Britishness” from 1964 to 1968, the British character of Canada was redefined and Britishness portrayed as something foreign or “other.” This post-British conception of Canada has been buttressed by historians depicting the British connection as a colonial hangover, an externally-derived, narrowly ethnic, nostalgic, or retardant force. However, Britishness, as a unique amalgam of hybrid identities in the Canadian context, in fact took on new and multiple meanings.

Canadian Magazine Illustrators at Home and in the United States, 1880-1960 by Shannon Jaleen Grove Doctor of Philosophy in Art History and Criticism Stony Brook University 2014 This dissertation analyzes nationalisms in the work of Canadian magazine illustrators in Toronto and New York, 1880 to 1960. Using a continentalist approach—rather than the nationalist lens often employed by historians of Canadian art—I show the existence of an integrated, joint North American visual culture. Drawing from primary sources and biography, I document the social, political, corporate, and communication networks that illustrators traded in. I focus on two common visual tropes of the day—that of the pretty girl and that of wilderness imagery.
  • Francess Halpenny's Autobiography

    Francess Halpenny's Autobiography

    Books in Review / Comptes rendus 147 Francess G. Halpenny, A World of Words: Francess Halpenny’s Autobiography (Toronto: Published Privately, 2017) 66 pp. Unpriced (paperback) no ISBN. Francess Halpenny was Canada’s first scholarly editor and a major force in scholarly publishing. Halpenny’s editorial career spanned five decades. She joined the University of Toronto Press as a junior editor in 1941, was named editor in 1957, rose to the position of managing editor in 1965, and was appointed associate director (academic) in 1978. As a hands-on editor of scholarly works who was incisive in her editorial practice, she was vital to the press’s development as a leading scholarly publisher. Halpenny, who spent her last four years in the veteran’s wing of Toronto’s Sunnybrook Hospital, died on Christmas Day 2017, aged 98. A World of Words is her final publication. Though it was published privately as a series of episodic recollections originally dictated to art therapist Sharona Bookbinder between May 2015 and March 2017, the slim volume contains an introduction and an index—a clear indication that Halpenny remained a scholarly editor to the very end of her life. A World of Words is significant for what it reveals of Halpenny’s resilience and drive, qualities that led her to remarkable achievement. In this autobiography, Halpenny touches on key periods that endured in her memory. She remembers her early years in the small town of Maxville, Ontario, where her father was a druggist and where social life revolved around the United Church. In 1929, her family moved to Toronto.

    WNET Licensing (A's)

    The “A’s” (Source: NET microfiche, unless listed) Aaron Copland Meets the Soviet Composers (1959) Initial Broadcast: N/A Number of programs: 1 Origin Format: Undetermined Running time: 30 minutes AARON COPLAND MEETS THE SOVIET COMPOSERS is a half-hour studio production kinescope of an interview between Copland and six Soviet musicians, musicologists and/or composers who were travelling in the US. My impression is that this was a visit in return for one made to the USSR by an American group earlier that included Menned (?), Sessions, Harris and Kay (?). The setting for the interview is a recreated concert hall stage with the guests sitting in players’ chairs and Copland and his translator located where a solo instrumentalist would be seated. The questions appear to have been scripted in advance – and scripts placed on the music stands. The responses from the Soviets appear to have been ad lib. Copland’s questions were translated into Russian by an American (?) of Russian origins, Nicholas Slonimsky, himself a musician. The Soviets spoke in Russian and were heard through simultaneous translation. The translator was unseen and uncredited. The Soviet guests include (in order of answering questions): Dmitri Kabalevsky, Boris Yarustovsky, Tikhon Khrennikov, Dmitri Shostakovich, Konstantin Dankevich and Fikret Amirov. Kabalevsky was asked about the knowledge of American music in the USSR; Yarustovsky on the influence of American music on Russian music; Khrennikov on the reactions of Soviet musicians to the visit of four American musicians earlier (in the exchange program?); Shostakovich on American jaZZ and its influence; Dankevich on younger Soviet composers and Amirov on the adaption of native musical types to series music.
