Upcoming Publications in Canadian History – Summer 2019

Image featuring the covers of six books featured in this post

Welcome back to our monthly series, “Upcoming Publications in Canadian History,” where I’ve compiled information on all the upcoming releases for the following month in the field of Canadian history from every Canadian academic press, all in one place. This includes releases in both English and French.

Unfortunately, due to a surplus of projects (my dissertation, a museum exhibit and lecture series which you will be hearing all about this coming July thanks to an exciting collaboration with Borealia and Acadiensis, etc.), I sort of missed the fact that June happened. So, to make up for the missed month, please accept this bumper-bonus of Upcoming Publications, with a slightly different format – first, all the publications in Canadian history from the month of June, followed by Upcoming Publications for the months of July and August. That’s right, the entire summer, covered in one post!

To see the releases from our last post, click here.

N.B. This list only includes new releases, not rereleases in different formats.

She is also the elected graduate student representative on the Canadian Historical Association Council, with shared responsibility for the teaching and learning portfolio.
