Colonialism and Capitalism: Canada’s Origins 1500–1890 by Bryan Palmer
On January 22, 2025, as part of IPE’s Socialist Seminar Series, Bryan Palmer delivered a thought-provoking lecture on colonial practices that displaced Indigenous peoples and the rise of capitalism, which shaped resource exploitation and wealth distribution in Canada.
He weaves together groundbreaking research to examine colonial practices that displaced Indigenous peoples and the rise of capitalism that shaped resource exploitation and wealth distribution. This compelling narrative challenges traditional accounts and reimagines the complex threads of Canada’s past.
Seminar talk will be posted.
