When the colonial era began, Europeans did not consider themselves as "Whites," and Native Americans did not think of themselves as "Indians." Yet as a genocidal struggle for America unfolded over the course of generations, all that changed. Euro-Americans developed a sense of racial identity, superiority, and national mission-of being chosen. They contended that Indians were damned to disappear so Whites could spread Christian civilization. Native people countered that the Great Spirit had created Indians and Whites separately and intended America to belong to Indians alone. In The Chosen and the Damned, acclaimed historian David J. Silverman traces Indian-White racial arguments across four centuries, from the bloody colonial wars for territory to the national wars of extermination justified as "Manifest Destiny"; from the creation of reservations and boarding schools to the rise of the Red Power movement and beyond. In this transformative retelling, Silverman shows how White identity, defined against Indians, became central to American nationhood. He also reveals how Indian identity contributed to Native Americans' resistance and resilience as modern tribal people, even as it has sometimes pit them against one another on the basis of race. The epochal story of race in America is typically understood as a Black and White issue. The Chosen and the Damned restores the defining role Native people have played, and continue to play, in our national history"--]]></description><link>https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C754751</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C754751</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Silverman, David J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/754751012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Native Americans and the Making of Race in the United States</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781635578386/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Capitalism and Colonialism]]></title><description><![CDATA["This second volume of Bryan Palmer's history of Canada covers 1890 to 1960. Weaving together themes that include business, labour, politics, and social history, this account brings the experiences of Indigenous peoples into the centre of the narrative. Canada experienced extraordinary growth during these decades, notably after the Second World War when many Canadians quickly became far better off. Yet vast inequalities persisted, Indigenous peoples experienced ongoing and often worsening deprivation, and ordinary people saw little or no real improvement in their lives. These realities set the stage for the interplay of reform, resistance and reaction that followed after 1960. Palmer examines the continuing role of capitalism and colonialism in structuring Canada in the period between 1890 and 1960 from capital's conflicts and fragile ententes with labour, to the struggles of Indigenous Peoples and francophone Canada, and the changing role of Canadian capital internationally. Relying on the work of scholars who have produced a vast academic literature on a wide range of topics in Canadian history, Bryan Palmer offers a new history of Canada which reflects the knowledge and values of 21st-century Canadians"--]]></description><link>https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C757411</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C757411</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Palmer, Bryan D.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/757411012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Making of Modern Canada 1890-1960 : A New History for the Twenty-first Century.

In Gander's case, the airport came first and the town came later. The airport was officially opened in 1939 to serve an important role during World War II. It was reported as being the largest multinational military base in the world. A new town was started immediately when the war ended, with the population living in renovated military buildings on airport property during the evolution of commercial transatlantic aviation. The town was later relocated and rebuilt in a new area a short distance from the airport, officially opening in 1959. This book describes how the lifestyle developed in an aviation environment in an isolated rural Newfoundland town. It outlines the layout and purpose of the various buildings in the old town and includes photos and map layouts for a better view of the layout where residents lived. The book also relates stories of an unrecorded past, in the original town of Gander, existing on the edge of the runways of a busy international airport and forgotten over a period of time. Gander Airport and its town have been known throughout the world because of the role they played in the war as a start-up of transatlantic commercial aviation. Gander was a worldwide aviation newsmaker"--]]></description><link>https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C755694</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C755694</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pinsent, Jack]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/755694012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Airport That Became A Town</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781774572566/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reconciling]]></title><description><![CDATA["A celebration and in-depth exploration of Canada's West Coast through an Indigenous and immigrant lens. Reconciling weaves together personal tales and tough histories for guiding steps toward true understanding. A personal and historical story of identity, place, and belonging from a Musqueam-Chinese Elder caught between cultures. It's taken most of Larry Grant's long life for his extraordinary heritage to be appreciated. He was born in a hop field outside Vancouver in 1936, the son of a Musqueam cultural leader and an immigrant from a village in Guangdong, China. In 1940, when the Indian agent discovered that their mother had married a non-status man, Larry and his two siblings were stripped of their status, suddenly labeled "bastard children." With one stroke of the pen, they were no longer recognized as Indigenous. In Reconciling, Larry tells the story of his life, including his thoughts on reconciliation and the path forward for First Nations and Canada. His life echoes the barely known story of Vancouver -- and most cities in the Americas, from Cusco to Mexico City, from New York to Toronto. It combines Indigenous traditions with key events of the last two centuries, including Chinese immigration and the Head Tax, the ravages of residential school, and now Indigenous revival and the accompanying change in worldview. Each chapter takes the form of a series of conversations between Larry and writer Scott Steedman and is built around one pivotal geographical place and its themes, including the Musqueam reserve, Chinatown, the site of the Mission Residential School, the Vancouver docks, and the University of British Columbia. When Larry talks about reconciliation, he uses the verb reconciling, an ongoing, unfinished process we're all going through, Indigenous and settler, immigrant and Canadian-born. 'I have been reconciling my whole life, with my inner self,' he explains. 'To not belong was forced upon me by the colonial society that surrounded me. But reconciling with myself is part of all that.'"--]]></description><link>https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C756862</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C756862</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Grant, Larry]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/756862012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Lifelong Struggle to Belong</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781770417984/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Making the Carry]]></title><description><![CDATA["John Linklater, of Anishinaabeg, Cree, and Scottish ancestry, and his wife, Tchi-Ki-Wis, of the Lac La Croix First Nation, lived in the canoe and border country of Ontario and Minnesota from the 1870s until the 1930s. During that time, the couple experienced radical upheavals in the Quetico-Superior region, including the cutting of white and red pine forests, the creation of Indian reserves/reservations and conservation areas, and the rise of towns, tourism, and mining. With broad geographical sweep, historical significance, and biographical depth, Making the Carry tells their story, overlooked for far too long. John Linklater, a legendary "Indian game warden" and woodsman without peer, was also the bearer of traditional ecological knowledge and Indigenous heritage, both of which he was deeply committed to teaching others. He was sought by professors, newspaper reporters, museum personnel, and conservationists-- among them Sigurd Olson, who considered Linklater a mentor. Tchi-Ki-Wis, an extraordinary craftswoman, made a sweeping array of necessary yet beautiful objects, from sled dog harnesses to moose calls to birch bark canoes. She was an expert weaver of large Anishinaabeg cedar bark mats with complicated geometric designs, a virtually lost art. Making the Carry traces the routes by which the couple came to live on Basswood Lake on the international border. John's Métis ancestors with deep Hudson's Bay Company roots originally came from Orkney Islands, Scotland, by way of Hudson Bay and Red River, or what is now Winnipeg. His family lived in Manitoba, northwest Ontario, northern Minnesota, and, in the case of John and Tchi-Ki-Wis, on Isle Royale. A journey through little-known Canadian history, the book provides an intimate portrait of Métis people. Complete with rarely seen photographs of activities from dog mushing to guiding to lumbering, as well as of many objects made by Tchi-Ki-Wis, such as canoes, moccasins, and cedar mats, Making the Carry is a window on a traditional way of life and a restoration of two fascinating Indigenous people to their rightful place in our collective past"--]]></description><link>https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C755626</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C755626</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cochrane, Timothy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/755626012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Lives of John and Tchi-Ki-Wis Linklater</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781517913885/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Run Like A Girl]]></title><description><![CDATA["From Olympic dreams to the frontlines of politics and climate action, Run Like a Girl is a bold, unfiltered memoir from Catherine McKenna, Canada's former Minister of Environment and Climate Change.

The result is Canada's Prime Ministers, a lively, accessible chronicle of Canada's leaders, from Sir John A. Macdonald in 1867 to Mark Carney in 2025. With engaging prose and fresh insights, Stewart captures the defining moments of each prime minister's time in office, revealing how they managed relationships with Indigenous peoples, the environment, American presidents, and international powers. He also explores how their reputations have evolved -- who has been forgotten, who remains controversial, and who has become a lasting part of Canada's cultural fabric. Canada's Prime Ministers is a necessary and important book, intended both for newcomers to Canadian history and those who have loved it for a long time"--]]></description><link>https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C755594</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C755594</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stewart, J.

It was an election that, more than any vote in recent memory, split Canadians down the middle. On one side were voters convinced that their own country had been broken by years of abuse and mismanagement ... Canadians who no longer believed in the state's ability to do its job, let alone build big things, and never mind fight and win a trade war. On the other side were those motivated by the existential threat posed by a single man: Donald Trump. Over thirty-five days of campaigning, Liberal leader Mark Carney and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre criss-crossed the country speaking to those duelling anxieties. Journalist Justin Ling watched it all from up close, paying particular attention to how Canada's 45th general election scrambled its priorities and put the country at the forefront of the global resistance to a mad American president. Smart, witty, and superbly observed, The 51st State Votes is a gripping account of a campaign that promises to define Canada for the next century."--]]></description><link>https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C753759</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S12C753759</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ling, Justin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://pcin.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/753759012</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Canada Versus Donald Trump</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781998365739/MC.GIF&amp;client=strtp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
