Riel: 'Prophet of the New World

Toronto: U. of Toronto Press, 1979

Flanagan's
initial work on Riel, in which he is concerned with "situating Riel
within the field of millenarian studies." Riel was not insane in this context,
but after a spiritual vision in 1875, he "conceived of himself as more
of a prophet than a politician."

Riel and the

This is not a general
narrative of the rebellion, but an inquiry focused on the Metis grievances
and their merit; the government response to these grievances; the
objectives and motivations of Riel; and the issue whether he received a
fair trial. Flanagan's controversial conclusions are that the Metis
grievances were "minor" and were being credibly addressed at the
time of the rebellion
