Summary:
"More than nine million Canadians claim Scottish or
Irish
heritage. Did the ancestors of more than one quarter of our population arrive without cultural baggage? No history, no values, no vision? Impossible. McGoogan writes that, to understand who we are and where we are going, Canadians must look to cultural genealogy. Scottish and
Irish
immigrants arrived in Canada with values they had learned from their forebears. And they did so early enough, and in sufficient numbers, to shape an emerging
Canadian
nation
. McGoogan highlights five of the values they imported as foundational: independence, audacity, democracy, pluralism and perseverance. He shows that these values are thriving in contemporary Canada, and traces their evolution through the lives of thirty prominent individuals -- heroes, rebels, poets, inventors, pirate queens -- who played formative roles in the histories of Scotland and Ireland. Two charged traditions came together and gave rise to a
Canadian
nation
. That is when
Celtic
lightning
struck"--Provided by publisher.
