Migration & refugee issues got your attention?

Check out the latest Active History ebook, including a contribution by yours truly.

Confronting Canadian Migration History is a collection of blog posts that existed as stand-alone posts on the Active History website recently. Edited by Daniel Ross, this diverse set of contributions speak to the complex relationship Canada has had with refugees and migrants. Given Canada's settler colonial origins, the fluctuating responses to newcomers or asylum seekers is both hypocritical and expected (though no less wrong). This collection of public history provides rich material with which to think about today's global experiences around forced migration, and once again demonstrates the valuable lens history provides in offering new perspectives on current events.
