Book Notes: New Histories from McGill-Queen's

What have the historians been doing lately? We haven't done a review of new and forthcoming books in Canadian history for too long. So getting back into that saddle: a quick look at some CanHist from McGill-Queen's start-of-2025 offerings. To be clear: I have read none of these.

Richard H. Tomczak, Workers of War and Empire from New France to British America, 1688–1783, a study of corvee labour in New France and early Quebec

Martha Langford, History of Photography in Canada, Volume 1: Anticipation to Participation, 1839–1918. Has a substantial and authoritative ring.
 
Bohdan S. Kordan, No Place Like Home: Enemy Alien Internment in Canada during the Great War.  Contemporary echoes for immigration policies?

Stuart Macdonald, Tradition and Tension: The Presbyterian Church in Canada, 1945–1985.  A Canadian institution needing a big survey history, no doubt.

Elizabeth Quinlan, Standing Up to Big Nickel: The Story of the Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers Strike, 1958.  

Cheryl Gosselin, Andrew C. Holman and Christopher Kirkey, eds.,Quebec’s Eastern Townships and the World: A Region and Its Global Connections. 

Micah True, The Jesuit "Relations" A Biography.  Looking at the whole project, rather than mining it for a few details.

Matthew Paul Trudgen, Securing the Continental Skies: The Development of North American Air Defence Co-operation, 1945–1958.  Gee, they used to be allies.
