In order to understand Canada as a nation, one has to trace Britain's colonial history, the mapping of "Canada," and the making of it as a British nation, for as Jane M. Jacobs notes, space exists within the context of imperialism and is "formed out of the cohabitation of variously empowered people and the meanings they ascribed to localities and places" (Jacobs, 1996, p. 5). The Canadian nation has actively built a history that begins with discovery, as if it were a land of empty wilderness before British arrival. The colonial project was to create and solidify a "history of whiteness" in Canada in order to legitimize colonial rule. Nativist discourses were drawn on to create the idea of a native Anglo-Canadian people, and to "naturalize British ideas about law, the state and religion"...

The principal purpose of a study is to report a hidden voice at an important juncture in the history of modern public accountancy. At the time of writing his letter, Alexander Thomas Nivin (1830-1918) was a junior and insignificant employee in a community of 96 public accountancy practitioners. Many of the latter were, eight years later, to form the Society of Accountants in Edinburgh and trigger a wider professional project that continues today on a global basis. The letter provides insights to the life of a junior accountancy clerk in mid-19th century Scotland and therefore informs its reader about a specific historical time of importance to modern public accountancy and accountants. It also provides its reader with knowledge of the social context in which Scottish public accountants ...

There is a problematic history of the West interpreting African history for them," says Volcano artistic director Ross Manson, who led the tour to Butare and Kigali. "We didn't want to be saying, 'You people have the genocide but we know what you should think about it.' "I've been to Auschwitz and Dachau, which were incredibly trying experiences," recalls Manson. "This was closer to the hell of genocide because you were standing in these little rooms with the actual people who died." "Genocide is a human phenomenon," says Manson, who started the project with an interest in investigating modern morality. "It's not a Jewish-Nazi thing. There have been 60 other genocides in the last 100 years."

Whose stories will be included and whose left out? Who or what gets a permanent exhibit? Is the persecution of Jews more significant than the suffering of Ukrainians? Isn't slavery a more important story than the plight of aboriginals? More difficult are the (relatively) modern stories of the Armenians, Cambodians and Palestinians. What does Israel owe the people it displaced, if anything? How will the story be told? First conceived by the U.S. government in 1978, it took 15 years of angry and divisive debate before it was built. Survivors disagreed about how the story should be told and who should be included (or excluded) in the narrative. There were bitter disputes about the location (wouldn't New York City with its long Jewish history have been better?) and challenges from those who...

Recent studies of publication patterns in accounting history portray a myopic and introspective discipline. Analyses reveal the production and dissemination of accounting history knowledge which focus predominantly on Anglo-American settings and the age of modernity. Limited opportunities exist for contributions from scholars working in languages other than English. Many of the practitioners of accounting history are also shown to be substantially disconnected from the wider community of historians. It is argued in the current paper that interdisciplinary history has the potential to enhance theoretical and methodological creativity and greater inclusivity in the accounting history academy. A practical requirement for this venture is the identification of points of connectedness between...
