Reviews

Jatinder Mann, Hong Kong Baptist University:

"This book makes a unique contribution to a field that has seen no shortage of works. I thoroughly recommend it to both specialists and general readers alike."

Don Wright, Department of Political Science, University of New Brunswick:

"Confederation is an old topic, but Globalizing Confederation represents a new spin. Because Canadian history unfolded in global contexts, Canadian historical writing should too. To this end, the editors have brought together a mix of senior and junior scholars to rethink Confederation and the roads to Confederation from a variety of different perspectives. Who knew, for example, that Australia followed events taking place on the other side of the globe? Or that Cuba was interested in the affairs of British North America?"
