Dead People
Aug. 12th, 2010 11:23 amI'm on a couple of discussion lists about history that aren't (all) academics talking (I'm sure there are a few.) It frustrates me how absolutely dominated these discussions are by "war" histories. I feel like quietly sneaking a bunch of Canadianists in and having a rollicking discussion about Confederation. Maybe we can have a good academic bicker about whether or not Louis Riel is a hero or a traitor. Or both.
