Provocative thinking and accessible writing are more necessary than ever to illuminate Canadian society and to understand the opportunities and challenges that Canada faces. A joint venture between McGill-Queen’s University Press and the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada, this series arms politically active readers with the understanding necessary for engaging in – and improving – public debate on the fundamental issues that have shaped our nation. Offering diverse and multidisciplinary perspectives on the leading subjects Canadians care about, Canadian Essentials seeks to make foundational and cutting-edge knowledge more accessible to informed citizens, practitioners, and students. Each title in this series aims to bolster individual action in order to support a better, more inclusive and dynamic country. Canadian Essentials welcomes proposals for concise and well-written books dealing with far-reaching and timely Canadian topics from a broad swath of authors, both within and outside of academia.
