«This is a thoughtful, at times entertaining book which provides a valuable lens through which to view no just the history of the Banff Centre but also the complex and vital relationships between culture, education, and the state.»
Ben Fullalove, Alberta University of the Arts, Alberta Views
«Uplift is an impressive work of scholarship and will be of great value for academics in various fields.»
Catherine Annau, The Canadian Historical Review
«Uplift is the first history of the Banff School of Fine Arts. The historical narrative presented therein is comprehensive and investigative ... Pearl Ann Reichwein and Karen Wall adroitly weave together a wealth of primary source information to show how the Banff School was embedded in a complex network of interactions between national park tourism, art, adult extension education, and cultural policy.»
