The

An extended
essay on that old chestnut, the national identity. Cohen wishes Canadians
would pay more attention to their heritage as the basis for a constructive
national pride, but does not favor whitewashing for the sake of image. His
is a reflective approach that regards the national character as still a
work in progress.

the war with Britain in Canada. That is not the emphasis of the book, but
it is covered, and the work overall may be appealing to those with an
interest in French exploration and empire.
