Abstract
Within the last decade, a battle of words has broken out among Canadian historians. On the one side of this so-called history war are those who want a unifying, patriotic national history, a seamless story that will instill pride in Canada's accomplishments. On the other side are the social historians who wish to uncover the darker flank of the nation-building theme, to expose the price paid by workers, women, aboriginal peoples, and minorities--in other words, those on the periphery of the national story. One of Canada's most eminent historians, Gerald Friesen, has written Citizens and Nation as a mediation between the two camps.
