Isolationism to internationalism? WASP society to a multicultural Canada? Focusing on imperial conflicts in the Pacific, \u003ci\u003eOrienting Canada\u003c\/i\u003e disrupts these familiar narratives in Canadian history by tracing the relationship between racism and Canadian foreign policy. Grounded in transnationalism and anti-racist theory, this book reassesses critical transpacific incidents, from the 1907 race riots to Canada's early intervention in Vietnam. Shocking revelations about the effects of racism and war into the 1960s are tempered by stories of community resilience and transformation. As a transpacific lens on the past, \u003ci\u003eOrienting Canada\u003c\/i\u003e deflects Canada's European gaze back onto itself to reveal images that both provoke and unsettle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Price\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774819839\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774819831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/27\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2011 pg. 46","brand":"John Price","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086849880319,"sku":"9780774819831","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_70a2b55a-b4eb-4aaf-9c19-8b7b230860c4.jpg?v=1769096946","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/orienting-canada-john-price-9780774819831","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
