Canada is situated geographically, historically, and culturally between old empires (Great Britain and France) and a more recent one (the United States), as well as on the terrain of First Nations communities.

The Reader brings together for the first time in one volume recent writing in Canadian cultural studies and work by significant Canadian cultural analysts of the postwar era.

Summary:
Canada is a bounded land – a nation situated between rock and cold to the north and a border to the south. Cole Harris traces how society was reorganized – for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people alike – when Europeans resettled this distinctive land. Through a series of vignettes that focus on people’s experiences on the ground, he exposes the underlying architecture of colonialism, from first contacts, to the immigrant experience in early Canada, to the dispossession of First Nations. In the process, he unearths fresh insights on the influence of Indigenous peoples and argues that Canada’s boundedness is ultimately drawing it toward its Indigenous roots.

By imitating the river's meandering course he guides the reader through the experiences of early explorers and the first European settlements, the continued presence of First Nations peoples, the growth of industry and tourism and the contemporary establishment of a Conservation Authority. Accompanied by period paintings, photographs, maps and historical documentation. Toronto artist Steven Evans spent a year photographing sites along the Thames and the 60 black and white reproductions included here stand on their own as elegant and perceptive landscape photography.
