How can feminist scholarship, postcolonial history and Indigenous Studies prompt historians to reflect on the categories of biography and Confederation? Reflecting on her research on the lives of James Douglas, Amelia Connolly Douglas and nineteenth-century north-western North America more generally, Adele Perry argues that historians need to go beyond biography and Confederation to consider more complicated ways of engaging individual lives and nation states.

Comment les études féministes, l’histoire postcoloniale et les études autochtones peuvent-elles inciter les historiens à réfléchir sur le genre biographique et la Confédération? Réfléchissant à ses travaux sur la vie de James Douglas et d’Amelia Connolly Douglas et sur le nord-ouest de l’Amérique du Nord au xixe siècle de manière générale, Adele Perry soutient que les historiens doivent aller au-delà de la biographie et de la Confédération et envisager des moyens plus complexes pour traiter en profondeur de vies individuelles et des États-nations.
