Long Citation
Sarah Carter is a renowned Western Canadian historian. She has transformed the field with her award-winning books, which have contributed to a rethinking of Canada's Western past, particularly the need to see the West as a shared place, created by diverse women and men, and as a place that must be understood within a colonial framework. Using feminist and postcolonial approaches, her books and articles have charted new directions in Canadian history. Her work is used in university courses, in land claims and treaty rights research and as resources to assist the public to understand the history of race relations in the West.
