Tells the story of post Second World War Canada by exploring ten themes key to the Canadian experience since 1945. Anastakis looks at the period not only through the lens of traditional themes such a politics and foreign policy, but also through new, innovative themes such as the environment, the family, and technology. This engaging narrative brings together much of the most recent scholarship to show how Canadians first re-created the nation over the three decades following the Second World War, then experienced the fragmentation of the Canada that had emerged, and ultimately remained committed to Canada as a nation-state and community.
