One West, Two Myths II: Essays on Comparison

A follow-up collection of essays, One West, Two Myths II again tackles various elements of the mythos of historical North American frontiers, ranging from art to historiographies. The essays could be used independently in social studies lessons to discuss Canadian myths and identities. Each chapter includes questions to ponder that could inspire reflection assignments, as well as additional resources for a deeper exploration of the topics covered. Some of the vocabulary is quite academic, so readers may need help with interpretation and understanding. Educators could present this as an opportunity for further research by the learner.
