By Christopher Lind, Co-authored with Lynn Caldwell

published in PERSPECTIVES OF SASKATCHEWAN, February 2009
Ed. Jene M. Porter. University of Manitoba Press website »

At the turn of the nineteenth century, Saskatchewan was one of the fastest growing provinces in Canada. In the early 1900s, it revolutionized the Canadian political landscape and gave rise to socialist governments that continue to influence Canadian politics today. It was the birthplace of Canada's publicly funded health care system, and home to a thriving arts and literary community that helped define western Canadian culture.

In Perspectives of Saskatchewan, eighteen noted scholars present an in-depth look at some of the major developments in the province's history, including art, literature, demographics, politics, First Nations history, northern development, and religion. It lays the foundations for a greater understanding of Saskatchewan’s unique history, identity, and place in Canada.
