In honour of Canada’s sesquicentennial, University of Toronto Press is proud to introduce The Canada 150 Collection, a special selection of outstanding books published over the years that bear witness to the depth and breadth of the nation’s history and the diversity of its peoples. These books showcase remarkable achievements as well as uncomfortable truths in Canada’s history, from pre-Confederation to the present. This carefully curated collection includes classic works of cultural, historical, legal, and literary scholarship that have informed and shaped Canada as a nation. A testament to University of Toronto Press’s longstanding commitment to authoritative and boundary-pushing scholarship, The Canada 150 Collection presents works that are essential reading for students, scholars, and anyone with an interest in Canada’s past and future.
