 | Uniting in Measures of Common Good: The Construction of Liberal Identities in Central Canada Subjects: Associations institutions etc. -- Canada Central -- History -- 19th century.; Liberalism -- Canada Central -- History -- 19th century; Community organization -- Canada Central -- History -- 19th century; Social change -- Canada Central -- History --; In a compelling and comprehensive treatment of the nineteenth-century voluntary association movement, Darren Ferry situates these organizations within the much larger framework of the construction of collective liberal identities. He shows that by attempting to transcend the political, religious, class, and ethnic divisions of their constituencies, voluntary societies acted as cultural mediators in the reproduction, transmission, and contestation of liberal values throughout central Canadian society.
