Bøger af Gerald Friesen

Once described as Louis Riel's alter ego, Manitoba Premier John Norquay skirmished with John A. Macdonald and endured racist taunts while championing the interests of the Prairie West. This biography of an Indigenous political leader sheds welcome light on a neglected historical figure and a tumultuous time for Canada and Manitoba.

These essays were written for the general reader and the academic historian. River Road examines aspects of prairie and Manitoba history from many different perspectives. They offer portraits of representatives from different sides of the prairie experience.

Drawing upon recent research as well as his own work in social and intellectual movements, Gerald Friesen has created a new, authoritative interpretation of the prairie experience.

Friesen links the media studies of Harold Innis to the social history of recent decades. The result is a framework for Canadian history as told by ordinary people.
