Discrepant parallels : cultural implications of the Canada-US border / Gillian Roberts. - 1 online resource
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Cover ; Title ; Copyright ; Contents; Acknowledgments; Introduction; 1 Navigating the "International Dots and Dashes": Travelling the Canada-US Border; 2 Securing Canadianness: Canada's Border Policing Dramas; 3 Strategic Parallels: Indigenous Border Crossings; 4 The "Strait Razorous Border": African-Canadian Perspectives; 5 "Somos Todos Americanos": Hemispheric Canada; Conclusion; Notes; Index.
The 49th parallel has long held a symbolic importance to Canadian cultural nationalists as a strong, though permeable, border. But in contemporary Canadian culture, the border has multiple meanings, and imbalances of cultural power occur both across the Canada-US border as well as within Canada. 'Discrepant Parallels' examines divergent relationships to, and investments in, the Canada-US border in a variety of media, such as travel writing, fiction, poetry, drama, and television.
