This collection offers new perspectives on the legacy of British colonisation by concentrating on Atlantic Canada (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island), a region that was pivotal to safeguarding Britain’s imperial ambitions, between 1750 and 1930. New and established researchers from Canada, Scotland and the United States engage with the core themes of migration, dispossession, religion, identity, and commemoration in a way that diverges markedly from existing scholarship. The research shines much-needed light on groups traditionally excluded from Britain’s broader imperial narrative, highlighting the indigenous experience and the presence and agency of slaves, free people of colour and religious minorities.
S. Karly Kehoe is Professor of History and Canada Research Chair in Atlantic Canada Communities at Saint Mary’s University in Nova Scotia. Prior to coming to Saint Mary’s, she lived and worked in Scotland. She is a fellow of the Royal Historical Society, a member of the Global Young Academy and the Royal Society of Canada’s College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists, and an alumna of the Royal Society of Edinburgh’s Young Academy of Scotland. Her work concentrates on Scottish and Irish Catholic settlement and colonisation in the north Atlantic, but she is also interested in sustainable development and rural change in Nova Scotia and the Scottish Highlands. Professor Michael Vance is Professor of History at St. Mary’s University. He has dedicated his research career to the topic of the transatlantic connection between Scotland and Canada. As well as a monograph and two edited collections, he has written numerous articles that have been published by journals including Immigrants and Minorities, Scottish Tradition and BC Studies. His current research focuses on Scottish migration patterns to Canada, Australia and South Africa in the 19th century.
