| Description: |
Telling Tales both challenges founding myths of the region and inspires rethinking of how we tell the story of western Canadian colonization and settlement. |
| Synopsis: |
Women played a vital role in the shaping of the West in Canadabetween the 1880s and 1940s. Yet surprisingly little is known abouttheir contributions or the differences sex and gender made to theopportunities and obstacles women encountered. Telling Talescontributes to the rewriting of western Canada's past byintegrating women into the shifting power matrix of class, race, andgender that undergirded its colonization and settlement.This book cover a range of topics -- African-American settlement onVancouver Island, prairie childbirth narratives, and Mennonites asdomestic servants are but three examples. They focus on women of bothminority and dominant cultures and reflect the West'scharacteristically mixed population. Telling Tales challengesfounding myths of the region and invites a retelling of the story ofwestern Canadian colonization and settlement. |
