Document Summary
History of gender in canada: resources affected development and entry. Intersectionality: axis of inequality: gender is only one part of this mix: class, race, culture. Who writes history: the winners, usually men, & the literate. Whose voices are silenced: immigrants & natives. Ideology vs. reality: perspectives by white men this is the way it should be . It is difficult to get the voice of women b/c they were not as prominent. The voices of children are virtually absent and you get the perspective from the adult. Control by powerful over weaker (british was taking over canada) Use of resources of weaker to increase wealth, power of the dominating country (fur) 2nd picture: the british empire in the 1920"s: sun never sets on the empire : control over the world from extracting resources. Charter groups: initial settlers/we projected this on to them. Indigenous peoples: don"t know a lot about them: french, english.
