Abstract:
"Explores the Canada-US border through a variety of theoretical, cultural and literary approaches. Includes chapters discussing the work of Wayde Compton; Includes chapters discussing Native American Literature and Border Theory; Features case studies of the Detroit River and Twin Towns along the Canada–US and Mexico–US Borders; Includes an afterword by Victor Konrad; Presents a chronology of events at the Canada-US Border. Moving beyond border studies paradigms dominated by the Mexico-US border, this collection aims to contextualise cultures and communities within a wider global understanding of border thinking. It builds on recent considerations of, and changes to, the cultural life of (and across) the Canada-US border, to prioritise theoretical reflections on representations, identities and policies. Approaching the border as a place, a theory, a practice and a process, this collection draws attention to the ways in which aspects of the Canada-US border itself (re)frame discussions of the borderlands as sites that continue to evoke, invoke and provoke ideas of nation and post nationalism; negotiation and imposition; resistance and refusal."--
