'Ramsay Cook' by Barker Fairley (1960) |
And when that expired I renewed, at my own expense. I do look at the digital editions, though I only noted Volume 100 #1, the current issue, when it had been available online over a month.
All of which leads me to say I was moved and impressed by the extensive set of appreciations of Ramsay Cook in the Spring 2019 issue. Donald Wright who is working on a biography, Gregory Kealey, Franca Iacovetta on his female students, Adele Perry who gives a perspective from a scholar of indigenous Canada, and Robert Fraser, his colleague at the Dictionary of Canadian biography. Maybe the best CHR cover ever, too.
The articles are mostly current history but the review section has a large concentration of reviews on indigenous questions. From it I learn that in the new edition of Skyscrapers Hide the Heaven, his now 25 year old survey of native-newcomer relations in the northern half of North America, J.R. Miller has added a fourth section. He used to have three: Cooperation (to about 1814), Coercion (1814-1969), and Confrontation. Now he has added "Reconciliation? (c2000- present)
Worth a look.
