  • "Historians have long engaged in passionate debate about collective memory and national identity. Alan Gordon focuses on one national hero - Jacques Cartier - to explore how notions about the past have been passed from generation to generation in English and French-speaking Canada and used to present particular ideas about the world. Nineteenth-century celebrations of Cartier reflected a new understanding of history that accompanied the arrival of modernity in North America. This sensibility, in turn, influenced the political and cultural currents of nation building in Canada. Cartier was a point of contact between English and French Canada, but the nature of that contact, as Gordon shows, had profound limitations."
