The conquest of Port-Royal by British forces in 1710 is an intensely revealing episode in the history of northeastern North America. Bringing together multi-layered perspectives, including the conquest's effects on aboriginal inhabitants, Acadians, and New Englanders, and using a variety of methodologies to contextualise the incident in local, regional, and imperial terms, six prominent scholars form new conclusions regarding the events of 1710. The authors show that the processes by which European states sought to legitimate their claims, and the terms on which mutual toleration would be granted or withheld by different peoples living side by side are especially visible in the Nova Scotia that emerged following the conquest. Important on both a local and global scale, The 'Conquest' of Acadia will be a significant contribution to Acadian history, native studies, native rights histories, and the socio-political history of the eighteenth century.

This edited collection brings together a broad range of case studies to highlight the role of Canadian corporations in producing, deepening and exacerbating conditions of dispossession both at home and abroad. Rather than presented as instances of exceptional greed or malice, the cases are described as expected and inherent consequences of contemporary capitalism and/or settler colonialism. A core purpose of the book is to combine and synthesize analyses of dispossession within and outside of Canada. While the literature tends to treat the two as distinct and unrelated phenomena, these processes are often connected, as the normalization of settler colonialism at home can lead to indifference and acceptance of dispossession caused by Canadian companies abroad. This book brings local and global cases together in order to present a rigorous analysis of the role of Canadian corporate activity in processes of dispossession. The book includes a diversity of theoretical approaches related to the overarching theme of capitalism and dispossession; however, they share a critical analysis of capitalism and its implications on marginalized peoples at home and abroad. Included are political economy approaches that draw on the work of theorists such as David Harvey, important interventions from Indigenous and settler colonial studies, feminist approaches using the work of scholars such as Silvia Federici and the concept environmental racism, which draws on both critical race theory and environmental justice literature.

Provides socio-economic profiles of official-language minorities to establish a comparative base from which to assess the relative vitality of each minority in its regional context. The minorities selected for the profiles are the Acadian minority in Prince County, Prince Edward Island, and the Anglophone minority on the Gaspe Peninsula and the Magdalen Islands, Quebec. Information in the profiles comes mainly from census data. The profile study combines two approaches: a regional approach beginning with the county (a census division) in which the minority resides, and a community approach which examines actual communities located within county boundaries. The profiles examine demographics, labour markets, economic structure, educational levels, income levels and sources, the female labour force, and the comparative status of the minority. Interviews with selected members of the linguistic minorities are also included. The conclusions assess the economic vitality of the minority communities and present an analysis and action framework that may enable these communities to at least maintain and possibly reinforce what they have achieved.
