Synopsis

The mythology of Western Canada is dominated by male images: the fur trader, the Mountie, the missionary, the miner, the cowboy, the politician, the Chief. Unsettled Pasts re-examines the West through women's eyes, bringing together contributions from researchers, scholars, academics, and community activists to create dialogues that cross geographic, cultural, and disciplinary boundaries.

Ranging from scholarly essays to poetry, this collection offers today's most innovative approaches to Western Canadian women's history. Unsettled Pasts complicates traditional narratives of the West by contesting historical generalizations, transcending the myths and frontier legacies that emerged from imperial and masculine priorities and perspectives.
