About the Book

To Know Our Many Selves profiles the history of Canadianstudies, which began as early as the 1840s with the Study of Canada. Indiscussing this comprehensive examination of culture, Hoerderhighlights its unique interdisciplinary approach, which included bothsociological and political angles. Years later, as the study of otherethnicities was added to the cultural story of Canada, a solidfoundation was formed for the nation's master narrative. Against this background, To Know Our Many Selves focuses onwhy Canadian studies can be used as a sound model for the study ofother societies in a framework of transcultural societal studies.
