Imperialism, Nationalism and Regionalism in Canadian and Modern Indian History - Aparna Basu

Both India and Canada are plural societies and both have movements based on ethnic, linguistic and religious differences. Regional imbal­ances and unequal economic growth have generated tensions in both the countries. This volume is a collection of seven papers contributed by well known Canadian and Indian historians on aspects relating to Imperialism, Nationalism and Regionalism–themes where parallels can be drawn between the Indian and Canadian experiences. The papers included in the volume are: The Uniqueness of the French Relationship with Canada’s Native Peoples, 1504-1763; The Evolution of Nationalism in French Canada; Federalism and Provincial Autonomy as Devices of Imperial Control; Regionalism and Federalism: The Case of Western Canada; Education and Communalism in India: 1870-1947; Interpreting Canadian Eco­nomic Development; Handicrafts in the Indian Economy: A Study of the Handloom Industry from 1800.
