Description

To Know Our Many Selves profiles the history of Canadian studies, which began as early as the 1840s with the Study of Canada. Dirk Hoerder discusses this comprehensive examination of culture by highlighting its unique interdisciplinary approach, which included both sociological and political angles. In later years, as the study of other ethnicities was added to the cultural story of Canada, a solid foundaton was formed for the nation's master narrative.Against this background Hoerder focuses on why Canadian studies may be used as a sound model for the study of other societies in a frame of transcultural societal studies.Dirk Hoerder is professor of history at Arizona State University, Tempe.
