Explores the preoccupation with boyhood in Ontario during the immediate postwar period, 1945-1960. The ideal version of boyhood stressed selflessness, togetherness, honesty, fearlessness, determination, and emotional toughness. An "appropriate" boyhood in the postwar period became a metaphor for the survival of the nation.
