The Past Speaks

I would like to bring your attention to an intriguing new thesis on Canadian history.

Don Nerbas, The politics of capital : the crisis and transformation of Canada’s big bourgeoisie, 1917-1947
Thesis (Ph.D.) — University of New Brunswick, Dept. of History, 2010.

The thesis “examines the shifting accumulation and political strategies of Canada’s big bourgeoisie from 1917 to 1947, a period of political and economic crisis that significantly impaired the political effectiveness of wealthy Canadians intent on restoring the old order”. He is in the process of preparing his dissertation for publication as a book. Don has also published articles in the Canadian Historical Review, Acadiensis, Manitoba History, and the Journal of the Canadian Historical Association.

Don Nerbas currently holds a SSHRC postdoctoral fellowship at McGill University.
