Summary:
"
Rebellious
youth, the Cold War, New Left radicalism, Pierre Trudeau, Red Power, Quebec'
s
call for Revolution, Marshall McLuhan: these are just some of the major forces and figures that come to mind at the slightest mention of the 1960s in
Canada
. Focusing on the major movements and personalities of the time, as well as the lasting influence of the period,
Canada
's 1960s examines the legacy of this
rebellious
decade'
s
impact on contemporary notions of Canadian
identity
. Bryan D. Palmer demonstrates how after massive postwar immigration, new political movements, and at times violent protest,
Canada
could no longer be viewed in the old ways. Tracing the significance of dissent and upheaval among youth, trade unionists, university students, Native peoples, and Quebecois, Palmer shows how the
Sixties
ended the entrenched, nineteenth-century notions of
Canada
. The irony of this
rebellious
era
, however, was that while it promised so much in the way of change, it failed to provide a new understanding of Canadian national
identity
