5.0 out of 5 stars
well-written introduction to interesting topic,
By A Customer
This review is from: The People of New France (Themes in Canadian History) (Hardcover)
The People of New France was written by Professor Greer with his undergraduate students in mind. This book is therefore comprehensive while being accessible. He includes chapters on the role of women and native people in colonial life: groups who were marginalized during the period and are still under-represented in historical work today. (However, his contention that New France was 'multicultural' is debatable.) Greer is a very good writer: after reading the book, you feel like you know what it was like to live in New France, which is reason enough to pick it up.

This review is from: The People of New France (Themes in Canadian History) (Paperback)
Students (university or higher grades of school) will find this a useful book. Its 137 pages, including bibliography and index, offer a succinct introduction to everyday life in pre-Conquest New France. Allan Greer covers topics as diverse as the religious communities, capital punishment and the typical livestock of a farm.
