Abstract
This chapter briefly sets the agenda for the study of the contemporary Orange Order and Orangeism in Canada and establishes a preliminary historical contextualization for the book, explaining its rise to prominence and its more recent post-war decline. A series of research questions, related to the continuity of Orangeism in the context of contemporary Canada, is briefly presented. Following this, a short description of each of the succeeding chapters is offered. This chapter continues with a brief presentation of three theoretical perspectives that inform the analyses: Social Identity Theory/Self-categorization Theory; memory and commemoration; and English Canadian exceptionalism. This chapter concludes with a brief description of methodologies undertaken to interview the research participants and to conduct content/discourse analyses of The Sentinel, the Canadian Orange journal.
