Contends that the struggle for property (and political) rights in early nineteenth-century Newfoundland is incomprehensible without an understanding of events as distinct as the Afro-American slave trade or the Napoleonic Wars. This book gives a fundamental reinterpretation of Canadian social, economic, and political history.A fast-paced tour through several centuries of Canadian history
"An author who can visualize the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway from Winnipeg to Vancouver in 1880-82 as an act of British imperialism linking India to Britain must be praised for raising Canadian history to new levels of perception." Canadian Book Review Annual "An outstanding work of synthesis that merits a wide readership among all those interested in a cogent challenge to the liberal view of Canadian history." British Journal of Canadian Studies "Refreshingly sardonic and elegantly sarcastic, Naylor writes with wit and unusual antagonism to the powerful." American Historical Review
