Sites of Power

"Diversity - not just of human social characteristics but of landscapes, climates, resources - has been one of Ontario's hallmarks from the beginning. Thus the 'sites of power' in Peter A. Baskerville's title are inevitably matched by sites of resistance, and the dynamics of their interactions are a recurring theme throughout this history. But conflict is only part of the story. From the early Paleolithic period to the Aboriginal peoples' first encounters with Europeans, through settlement and immigration, Confederation, war, economic booms and busts, all the way to the provincial election of 2003, Baskerville combines social, political, economic, and cultural histories in an analysis as complex and multi-layered as the province itself."--Jacket.
