Reviews
Magda Fahrni, Universite du Quebec a Montreal:
A revised version of Dummitt’s doctoral dissertation, the book is a series of case studies…. The result is a polished, well-written, and provocative exploration of two phenomena that remain understudied by Canadian historians. …The Manly Modern is a stimulating and valuable study.

Robert Rutherdale, author of Hometown Horizons: Local Responses to Canada's Great War:
Dummitt’s work presents a broad, innovative, and powerful approach to our understanding of being both manful and modern during the transforming postwar decades that climaxed in the tumultuous 60s.
