Document Summary
Hist as meth to explore law + society relationship. Way to explore history itself and how it"s written. Murray will look at race riot in lower canada. There"s something interesting that happened/said and historians go that way + follow evidence. How does historian decide which has more weight. Separated from what sociology has [we see from beginning the arguments people have] [history as discourse about whats fundamentally dif from past] we see history as discourse about past but not the past not really about what happened during massacre, not about the main thrust about article [loo. Loo"s main argument: us [euro vs british] vs. them. She"s not telling us anything about indians [historical artifact] She"s careful to avoid telling us anything about indians. With evidence infront of her she has to deal with colonial identity. Idea that we have now back into the past. Race riot: means something very different from time it was written.
