This course presents Canada as a unique experiment and discusses the major challenges facing its citizens in the 21. Century though the prism of the country’s history, geography and politics. In particular, the course surveys the whole of Canadian history and its peoples from pre-contact times to the present, integrating social, cultural, political, and economic themes into a coherent overarching narrative.Particular emphasis is put on the pre-contact inhabitants of the Canadian land-mass and the French-English struggle for mastery of Canada, as well as on the country’s post-1945 experience, including its policies of bilingualism and multiculturalism and human rights, as well as the challenges the Canadian model is faced with in a post 9/11 world.
