THE DAWN OF CANADA’S CENTURY
Edited by Gordon Darroch
Written by many of Canada’s leading historical researchers, The Dawn of Canada’s Century demonstrates the wide-ranging and revealing social histories made possible by the new Canadian Century Research Infrastructure, an innovative database of national samples of decennial census microdata, from 1911 through 1951. This revealing collection sheds new light on topics including identity and language, the socio-demography of aboriginal populations, social mobility, gender and immigration experiences, and the technologies of census taking.
CARTOGRAPHIES OF PLACE
Edited by Michael Darroch
In Cartographies of Place, authors engage with different historical and contemporary currents in urban studies which share a common concern for media forms, either as research tools or as the means for discerning the expressive nature of city spaces around the world. All of the media considered here are not simply “free floating,” but are deeply embedded in the geopolitical, economic, and material contexts in which they are used.
