An incisive and illuminating account of how; during the Algerian Revolution; the people of Algeria changed centuries-old cultural patterns and embraced certain ancient cultural practices long derided by their colonialist oppressors as primitive; in order to destroy those same oppressors. Fanon uses the fifth year of the Algerian Revolution as a point of departure for an explication of the inevitable dynamics of colonial oppression.

Major historical events and their repercussionsBy Midwest Book ReviewEnhanced with a new introduction by Christopher Moore; this University of Toronto Press trade paperback edition of The Empire Of The St. Lawrence: A Study Of Commerce And Politics by the late Donald Creighton (1902-1979) reintroduces to a modern readership a truly scholarly work addressing the rise and fall of a Canadian trading empire from 1763 to 1850. Individual chapters address major historical events and their repercussions in the region of the lower lakes; the conflict between commerce and agriculture; and much more. Organized into three principal sections (The First Unity of the St. Lawrence; Transition in the Region of the Lower Lakes; The Struggle for the Second Commercial Empire); and enhanced with "Bibliographical Note" and "Notes" sections; The Empire Of The St. Lawrence is a meticulously researched; college-level source book; that continues to be recommended for academic reference collections as a definitive and seminal work.
