In his famous 1839 call to reform, John George Lambton, Earl of Durham, recommended that Upper and Lower Canada be accorded responsible government by uniting the two provinces under a single legislative assembly a union which would also bring about the assimilation of the FrenchCanadians. The Report has been criticized ever since from British imperialists who found it dangerously liberal to French Canadians who despised Durham for his presumed racism. This new edition of Gerald Craig's abridgement retains his 1963 introduction and adds essays that debate Durham's political assumptions and goals, reexamine the philosophical and historical context in which the Report was created, and review the Report's reception and influence. Janet Ajzenstat reconsiders the report in the context of nineteenthcentury debates about the relation between culture and political institutions, arguing that Durham should be seen as a progressive universalist opposed to the divisions of race and creed who wanted to give more freedom to French and EnglishCanadians alike. Guy Laforest reexamines the report in terms of British liberal imperialism and twentiethcentury EnglishCanadian perspectives to argue that Durham was a onesided sociologist and the first in long line who used liberalism for imperialist purposes.
