Description
Do children and youth have their own history? How is it different from traditional accounts? What difference do children make to our understanding of contemporary Canada? This collection of distinguished and original articles are divided into eleven thematic chapters and explores how topics such as politics and gender, residential schools, and global citizenship have informed being young in Canada.
Bringing Children and Youth into Canadian History provides a new, comprehensive, current, and pedagogical approach to the history of children and youth in Canada.

Editorial Reviews
"The range and scope of this book is tremendous. The sections are well thought out, and each chapter includes a context-setting introduction, various additional pieces of material/documentary history, and general questions for discussion. This makes a great package for undergraduate teaching. Furthermore, the scholarship is current and the categories are very nicely selected." --Karen Dubinsky, Queen's University
"Altogether, an excellent book that I look forward to using in my courses." --Sarah Glassford, University of New Brunswick
