Written by George Grant with a new introduction by Andrew Potter. Fortieth anniversary edition published by McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2005. Description: |
| The classic masterpiece of political meditation. In 1965, George Grant passionately defended Canadian identity by asking fundamental questions about the meaning and future of Canada’s political existence. In Lament for a Nation he argued that Canada – immense and underpopulated, defined in part by the border, history, and culture it shares with the United States, and torn by conflicting loyalties to Britain, Quebec, and America – had ceased to exist as a sovereign state. Lament for a Nation became the seminal work in Canadian political thought and Grant became known as the father of Canadian nationalism. The fortieth anniversary edition introduces Lament for a Nation to a new generation. A major introduction by Andrew Potter explores Grant’s arguments in the context of changes in ethnic diversity, free trade, globalization, post-modernism, and 9/11. Potter discusses the shifting uses of the terms “liberal” and “conservative” and closes with a look at the current state of Canadian nationalism. Lament for a Nation remains essential reading for anyone interested in questions of Canadian identity, sovereignty, and national unity. George P. Grant (1918-1988) was educated at Queen’s University and Oxford. He taught philosophy and later political science at Dalhousie University and chaired the Department of Religion at McMaster. His seminal Lament for a Nation, first published in 1965, established Grant as one of the foremost Canadian political thinkers of our time. Andrew Potter is a visiting fellow at the Centre de Recherche en Éthique at the Université de Montréal. |
