Scott W. See is Libra Professor Emeritus and former chair of the University of Maine’s History Department.

'Riots in New Brunswick makes an important contribution to the history of national identity and ethnic relations in Canada ... [It] is both sophisticated and an ideal monograph to introduce undergraduate students to controversial issues in Canadian history.'

Hereward Senior, McGill University:

'[See's] research is thorough, and he has managed to present a detailed description of complicated events in a readable narrative that includes a concise account of the social and economic background of the story. See's work is likely to remain a definitive study of the subject.'

R.W. Winks, Yale University:

'Never ideological, See pursues his answers in the realm of fact, but his conclusions will be of interest far beyond New Brunswick, or indeed Canadian, borders. Any scholar interested in nativism, vigilantism, or the enabling of elites will benefit from his well-written and well-documented study.'
