Zusammenfassung:"Canada and the End of Empire deals with a neglected subject in post-Confederation Canadian history - the implications to Canada and Canadians of British decolorization and the end of empire - particularly during the period of rapid disengagement in the 1950s and 60s." "Historians in Commonwealth countries tend to look at the end of British rule from a nationalist perspective. This book challenges this view and demonstrates the centrality of imperial history in Canadian historiography. An important addition to the growing canon of empire studies and imperial history, Canada and the End of Empire will be of interest to historians of the commonwealth, and to scholars and students interested in the relationship between colonialism and nationalism."--BOOK JACKET.
