Canada and the Third Worldis an enormous resource for those trying to teach and learn about Canada in ways that recognize how colonialism, imperialism, and exploitation--both within North America and around the world--are at the core of Canada. The editors have drawn together nine essays that examine histories of colonialism and Indigenous peoples in Canada, immigration and refugee policy, private business, international aid, military intervention and popular social movements. Canada and the Third Worldis well-suited for classroom use, and will help students and teachers learn about Canada's complex and global past and present.--Adele Perry, University of Manitoba For most people, the "Third World" is not immediately associated with Canada. But. Canada's economic and political fortunes have long been intricately and even intimately ties to the Third World. From India to the West Indies, this collection of essays challenges the myth of Canadian innocence at home and abroad. After reading it, we cannot genuinely think of Canada in quite the same way.

--David Austin, author of Fear of a Black Nation: Race, Sex, and Security in Sixties Montreal The editors of Canada and the Third Worldset out to create "an opinionated book about controversial topics." They have succeeded, producing a sobering antidote to the saccharine view we Canadians often have of our past and our present in that nebulous place called the "Third World."--Ian Smillie, author of Diamondsand Freedom from Want.
