Historical Writing and Canadian Education from the 1970s to the 1990s
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 February 2017
Extract
More than twenty-five years have passed since the publication of Canadian Education: A History, the most comprehensive scholarly overview of educational development in Canada. Much has happened historiographically since the early 1970s, but a new grand synthesis of Canada's educational history has not been part of this intellectual harvest. For more positive reasons than the lack of an alternative, the book has enduring value and is the place one still turns, at least initially, for lucid accounts of key events in the history of Canadian education.
