Résumé

Harold Innis writes about the economic and social forces that structured Canada. Laurence writes about how we understand these forces, how we perceive our past. The Diviners provides a connection link between Innis' well-known writings on Canadian economic history, and his almost forgotten work on communications. Innis analysed the dominating forces in Canada's past; Laurence discloses not only that domination, but also resistance against it.
