From Within And Without

Within and Without the Nation

In some ways, Canadian history has always been international, comparative, and wide-ranging. However, in recent years the importance of the ties between Canadian and transnational history have become increasingly clear. Within and Without the Nation brings scholars from a range of disciplines together to examine Canada’s past in new ways through the lens of transnational scholarship. Moving beyond well-known comparisons with Britain and the United States, the fifteen essays in this collection connect Canada with Latin America, the Caribbean, and the wider Pacific world, as well as with other parts of the British Empire. Examining themes such as the dispossession of indigenous peoples, the influence of nationalism and national identity, and the impact of global migration, Within and Without the Nation is a text which will help readers rethink what constitutes Canadian history.

In the second instalment of the Maze Trilogy, religious fanaticism invades the village at the centre of the Maze: that and strangers from the kingdom usher in a period of change in which chaos rules. Meanwhile, on the outside of the Maze, murder, torture and treachery stalk the politics of the monastery as the despotic Chief Monk pursues the top job. The monastery hospital incarcerates its patients and makes them sicker in body and soul, not better. It is a story of birth, rebirth and renewal; revolution, drug abuse, gang warfare and social unrest; rape, revelations, lies and deceit. But the Maze stands firm.
