Reviews
As a comprehensive history of public history in Canada, Time Travel is a welcome text. ... Time Travel does a wonderful job of connecting experiments in living history with that national past. -- Claire Campbell, Bucknell University * Historical Studies in Education * ... Gordon pulls together a staggering amount of materials to provide a compelling glimpse into the history of living history. He illustrates the contradictions that abound-the tensions between scholarship and entertainment; between National and multicultural remembrance; between the colliding narratives of settler and Indigenous histories. There is more to be written on this story, and Gordon has made a significant contribution to this area of historical scholarship. Time Travel is a useful roadmap that scholars might utilize to explore the fascinating contradictions and interplay between narrative, history and authenticity, so exemplified in the living history museum. -- Sean MacPherson * BC Studies *
