Heritage Poster

Set ISBN 13: 978-894915-23-6
Set SPECIAL Price: $149.95

The CANADIAN HERITAGE COLLECTION is a series of 12 books that explore 20th Century Canada through primary source documents. Each book focuses on a central theme and is organized by decade to show the unique flavor of the period — its appearance and mood, the defining issues and events, and the prominent people who shaped it.

Primary source documents are the original writings and images of any given time period. They are witnesses to our past. Through these documents we are able to listen to the voices of historical figures and examine their feelings as they describe or depict the events of the day. History comes alive for us because we experience it through the people who lived it.

Primary source documents are an engaging path into history. Thoughtfully examined, they provide essential insights into the past and serve as a framework in understanding the present.

Popular culture is an ever-changing reflection of how people see themselves and how others represent them. Our entertainment, popular trends, fads, fashions, and the "arts of the moment" allow us to observe how Canadians have lived and enjoyed themselves. Popular culture identifies our heroes and often reflects mainstream values and beliefs. It defines, and is defined by, what is important here and now. The images and other primary documents in this book capture exciting moments and trends in Canadian popular culture from 1900 to the beginning of the new millennium.

Nationalism and French Canada

Price: $19.95
ISBN 13: 978-0-921156-81-9

It is difficult to imagine a Canada without Quebec or a Quebec without Canada. Yet on 30 October 1995, Canadians from coast to coast were watching national television coverage of "Separation Night in Canada." Canadians/Canadiens anxiously viewed the referendum tallies as they came in from across the province of Quebec. By evening's end, Canada was held together by the slimmest of margins. What had brought Canada to the precipice? What does the future hold for this country? With these questions in mind, this resource offers primary documents that will help the reader to gain a better understanding of the long and storied relationship between Canada's two founding cultures.
