From the Publisher
Sophisticated and well-curated, this photographic tour through
Canada''s history documents the nation''s evolution over more than
a century, as seen through the lens of photographers from The
New York Times. The book compiles more than 100 iconic,
momentous and inspiring images of Canada and includes ten
commentary pieces from a range of important thinkers, historians
and writers, including National Chief Shawn Atleo, MP Justin
Trudeau, historians Charlotte Gray, Peter C. Newman and Tim Cook,
and sports columnist Stephen Brunt. Through these pages and images,
which represent a portal in time, a portrait of Canada emerges, not
as seen by its own citizens, but as viewed through a distinctly
American lens.
The book includes photos arranged according to the following
themes:
• The Battlefield: Canada at War
• Aboriginal People
• The Changing Face of Canadian Society--Our Immigration
Story
• Landscape
• The Political Arena
• Industry
• The War Machine: How the Homefront Supplied the Wars
• Hockey
• Icons (Stars, Sports Heroes, Political Figures,
Royalty)
