The Maple Leaf (Gardens) Forever: Sex, Canadian Historians and National History

Abstract

As the Canadian battle between national and social historians rages on, the author argues that the history of sexuality is national history. In this manoeuvre through Canada's history wars, the author recruits for his troops, among others, Kate Millet, Butch Bouchard, Michel Foucault, Charlotte Whitton, A.R.M. Lower and Pierre Berton.
