Food, Colonization, and Religion in New France

Mairi Cowan and Whitney Hahn | Sep 17, 2020

Food, Colonization, and Religion in New France is a collection of resources that combines an article about the relationship between food and power at the Ursuline convent in seventeenth-century Québec with a selection of primary sources that were used in the article. The primary sources, including some previously unpublished archival material along with more familiar texts, introduce students to evidence for the history of food, colonization, and religion in New France. The sources can be used separately to present students with evidence and theory in early modern history and colonial history, or together to discuss historical methods, archival research, the editing of texts, and the relationship between primary and secondary sources in historical research.
