""People, Politics, and Purpose" brings the historian's myriad tools to bear on Canadians, from prime ministers to lumberjacks to Indigenous leaders. Drawing on the rich details of biography--the what--the contributors also address the larger questions--the so what--that drive history. These are not simply stories about the lives of individuals but critical reflections on subjects who are directly involved in, and affected by, politics. By illuminating the roles of historical actors, this lively collection offers insights into Canada's place in the world and stimulates fresh thinking about political history."--From publisher.

Lackenbauer, P. Whitney.
