Artists and immigrants

Book Review: Stopping the Panzers is a highly informative, detailed, and descriptive account of the defence of Operation Overlord. It is in many ways a story of tank warfare and how the Canadian Armoured Corps was not “cowed” by the panzers but instead went toe-to-toe with the most fearsome tanks of the Second World War — and won.

Book Review: No one had ever seen anything like it. Nor would anyone again, until 1945, when an atomic bomb nicknamed “Little Boy” was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan.

Book Review: In their respective books, Bev Sellars and Arthur J. Ray demonstrate how the Canadian historical narrative has excluded Indigenous perspectives to the benefit of newcomers while examining the subsequent reclamation of this space through the use of history. 

Book Review: The Group of Seven were shrewd self-mythologizers. Their overwhelming presence has tended to eclipse Canadian artists who worked around the turn of the twentieth century. A.K. Prakash’s Impressionism in Canada is a much needed corrective.
