Amazon Canada and 49th Shelf (the site's portal to explore Canadian books) released a list of their top 100 books by Canadian authors last week. The list, which was curated by editors of both sites, also has a call-out for Canadians to nominate their favourite Canadian books — hey, we'd also like to know!"
A single list of books can’t be a complete representation of a country's literature," said Craig Riggs of 49th Shelf in a statement. "We develop[ed] this list as a starting point and a way for readers to explore a wider selection of Canadian writing." The list has a mix of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, short stories and even kids' books over the last eight decades. The oldest book on the list is The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery written in 1926 and the newest title is This One Summer by Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki, published in May. The most popular genre was fiction, taking up 44 spots on the list. And if you're a huge bookworm, we've also released our favourite books for our fall book club list, featuring addictive titles, controversial topics and new releases. Here are 25 books from Amazon Canada's list (in no particular order). To see the full list, click here. Winner of the 2012 Willa Literary Award in the area of Scholarly Nonfiction, presented by Women Writing the West.

Winner of the 2011 Armitage-Jameson Prize presented by the Western History Association and the Coalition for Western Women’s History. Recollecting is a rich collection of essays that illuminates the lives of late-eighteenth-century to mid-twentieth-century Aboriginal women, who have been overlooked in sweeping narratives of the history of the West. Some essays focus on individuals—a trader, a performer, a non-human woman. Other essays examine cohorts of women—wives, midwives, seamstresses, nuns. Authors look beyond the documentary record and standard representations of women, drawing on records generated by the women themselves, including their beadwork, other material culture, and oral histories. Exploring the constraints and boundaries these women encountered, the authors engage with difficult and important questions of gender, race, and identity.
Collectively these essays demonstrate the complexity of "contact zone" interactions, and they enrich and challenge dominant narratives about histories of the Canadian Northwest.

The central themes are primarily the negotiation of fluid identities within a changing and dynamic context and the importance of looking beyond the archive to recover what, the authors argue, lies beyond the colonizing gaze. Recollecting provides a thoroughly readable trove of information and includes some useful illustrations of many of the individuals and of some of the handiwork under discussion.
The well-researched articles as a whole, remind us as researchers to seek diligently to capture voices present in objects, in stories, and in recollections not found in any traditional textual archive.” —The Canadian Historical Review “This collection’s introduction and twelve articles can quite rightly be seen as one grand recovery mission, a giant step toward increasing dramatically the complexity of western/colonial history through the lives of Aboriginal women.” “The fact that the best essays rely not on journals or books written by women (which would thus make them elite and somewhat unusual) but on varied sources that discuss them or that they left behind, such as dictated reminiscences, makes these articles more thought-provoking and impressive. Even when the book focuses on more famous representatives, such as Catherine Auger, Frances Nickawa, or Anahareo, the essays present them as multidimensional figures who changed over time and embraced and rejected cultural norms.”
—Montana, The Magazine of Western History “As we continue to learn from the Delgamuukw v. British Columbia land-claim case--in which an orally recited, ancient, and sacred indigenous genre of lineage history was, in effect, put on trial, dismissed as insubstantial and inferior to written records, but eventually admitted, in 1997, as acceptable evidence in a Canadian court--there are many constructions of 'history' in Native societies, all likely to be contested, and all requiring nuanced understanding of context for interpretation. Comprehending these contexts holistically...requires an inclusive vision in order to see the intimate linkages among community oral traditions, written expressions of personal experience, forms of material culture that communicate memories intergenerationally, and their relationships to conventional documentary sources. The detailed, innovative, and transdisciplinary approaches represented in Recollecting give historians some valuable examples of how to conduct research across the many borderlands of the Aboriginal past and in the process give voice to those long silenced--something oral historians do so well.”
