"The wide range of perspectives will be valuable to students and scholars, particularly in examining the centrality of the Confederation moment and tensions informing Canadian nationalism, or even geopolitical interest that shaped Canada in North America."- Charles Dumais, University of Toronto (Canadian Journal of Political Science, vol 52 no 1, March 2019) "For those of us who teach Confederation, and who often wish we could renovate our classes to better capture the multiplicity of scholarly takes, this distillation of so many important approaches to the topic will be a blessing; Donald Creighton’s road to Confederation must now be seen as just one route among many." - Bradley Miller, University of British Columbia (Canadian Historical Review)
