Upcoming Publications in Canadian History – Summer 2019

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!

I have a special mid-week blog post for you today, written by Lianne Charlie. Lianne posted this on her Facebook feed yesterday in response to the visit by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to Whitehorse, Yukon, and was kind enough to allow me to post it here on Unwritten Histories. This blog post is intended as the beginning of a conversation about larger issues around colonialism, the environment, and reconciliation. Thank you, Lianne!

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are in Whitehorse today, and half the town is out to see them. My facebook feed is full of photos posted by media outlets reporting on their visit. When I drove by Main Street on my way to work, I saw lots of people lining the streets, waving flags, and holding red and white balloons – all hoping for a glimpse. It’s hard not to get caught up in the hype—there is just so much energy and excitement surrounding their visit—but I’m not excited at all.
