Summary:
"What it means to be Canadian. Charlotte Gray weaves together masterful portraits of nine influential Canadians, creating a unique history of the
country
over the past
150
years. What do these people - from George-Étienne Cartier and Emily Carr to Tommy Douglas, Margaret Atwood, and Elijah Harper - have in common? Each, according to Charlotte Gray, has left an indelible mark on
our
country
. Gray has chosen people whose
ideas
have caught her imagination,
ideas
that over time have become part of
our
collective conversation. She also highlights many other Canadians, past and present, who have added to the ongoing debate over how we see ourselves, arguing that
Canada
has constantly reimagined itself in every generation since 1867. Illustrated with evocative black and white images and colourful artistic visions of
our
country
, The
Promise
of
Canada
is a fresh take on
our
history that offers fascinating insights into how we have matured and yet how -
150
years after Confederation and beyond - we are still a people in progress. Biographer and historian Charlotte Gray is the author of Mrs. King, Sisters in the Wilderness, The Massey Murder, The Museum Called
Canada
, and
Canada
: A Portrait in Letters"--Provided by publisher.
