"The wide range of perspectives will be valuable to students and scholars, particularly in examining the centrality of the Confederation moment and tensions informing Canadian nationalism, or even geopolitical interest that shaped Canada in North America." --Charles Dumais, University of Toronto, Canadian Journal of Political Science, vol 52 no 1, March 2019 "For those of us who teach Confederation, and who often wish we could renovate our classes to better capture the multiplicity of scholarly takes, this distillation of so many important approaches to the topic will be a blessing; Donald Creighton's road to Confederation must now be seen as just one route among many." --Bradley Miller, University of British Columbia, Canadian Historical Review "Starting with the voices and stories of those who were forgotten, Roads to Confederation brings 150 years of Confederation scholarship to the public. The editors are experienced scholars and writers in the field, and they do write well here!" --Guy Laforest, Executive Director, École nationale d'administration publique "This two-volume collection serves a real purpose in bringing together the work of scholars on Confederation. I have no doubt that this collection will find its way onto the shelves of all those who have an interest in Canada's federal experience. Every school and public library should own a copy." --Patrice Dutil, Department of Politics and Public Administration, Ryerson University.
