Recenzijos

"For a nation seemingly intent on showing that its components have little in common, Zeller's Inventing Canada is an important reminder of common bonds. Beyond that, it is refreshing evidence that while good historical scholarship and writing are enjoyable to read they are also stimulating to the mind and relevant to our existence, identity, and future." Manitoba History
