Celebrating and Evaluating the Writing of Canada’s Political History
November 24, 2022 | 4:00PM - 6:00PM
This is a hybrid event. The in-person event is taking place at the Campbell Conference Facility, Munk School, 1 Devonshire Place, Toronto, Ontario.
Join the C.D. Howe Series in Canadian Political History editors John English and Robert Bothwell, and Randy Schmidt, UBC Press senior editor, for a lively conversation on the origins of the series, its accomplishments to date, and opportunities for new books that fill the gaps in Canadian political history.
John Dirks will introduce the latest book in the series, his A Cooperative Disagreement: Canada-United States Relations and Revolutionary Cuba, 1959–93, which reveals how Canada and the United States – neighbours by geography and close allies by design – successfully kept their differences over revolutionary Cuba from permanently damaging their relationship.
A reception will follow with light refreshments and snacks.
The event space is wheelchair accessible.
The C.D. Howe Series in Canadian Political History is supported by The C.D. Howe Memorial Foundation and the Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History and was spearheaded by series editors John English and Robert Bothwell.
