Exploring Atlantic Transitions
Current approaches to the archaeological understanding of permanence and transience in the early modern period, Can we approach European expansion to the Americas and elsewhere without colonial triumphalism? A research strategy which automatically treats early establishments overseas as embryonic colonies produces predictable results: in retrospect, some were, some were not. The approach reflected in the essays collected here does not exclude an interest in colonialism as an enduring practice, but the focus of the volume is population mobility and stability.

Histoire et patrimoine. Pistes de recherche et de mise en valeur
L’histoire et les études patrimoniales ont pendant longtemps évolué en parallèle. Mais, depuis quelques années, les collaborations et les échanges se sont accrus. C’est ce dont témoigne cet ouvrage dans lequel la relation entre histoire et patrimoine est explorée sous divers angles. On y met en lumière les apports originaux de travaux récents et on y esquisse des pistes de recherche. En outre, l’appropriation et la diffusion des résultats et les enjeux de la mise en valeur reçoivent une attention particulière. Ce livre est aussi l’occasion de souligner la contribution majeure du Laboratoire d’histoire et de patrimoine de Montréal, une équipe de recherche en partenariat, créée à l’Université du Québec à Montréal en 2006. Plusieurs articles illustrent l’apport de ses membres et partenaires à ce rapprochement entre histoire et patrimoine.

General History of the Caribbean
This volume looks at the ways historians have written the history of the region, depending upon their methods of interpretation and differing styles of communicating their findings. The chapters discussing methodology are followed by studies of particular themes of historiography. The second half of the volume describes the writing of history in the individual territories, taking into account changes in society, economy and political structure. The final section is a full and detailed bibliography serving not only as a guide to the volume but also as an invaluable reference for the General History of the Caribbcan as a whole.
Heroines and History
"This is a fascinating comparison of the histories of Ontario and Quebec as seen through the handling of their best-known heroines. Most Canadians are familiar with stories of Madeleine de Vercheres defending Montreal against the Iroquois in 1692 and of Laura Secord and her cow bravely crossing the American lines to warn the British during the War of 1812.
