Summary:
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. Poised between historical and metaphorical empires and operating within the conditions of incomplete modernity and economic and cultural dependency, Canada has generated a body of cultural criticism and theory that offers unique insights into the dynamics of both center and periphery. 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.

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(...)

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.

Summary:
In many ways one can gauge the history of Canada by its rivers. By telling the story of one of the country's key arteries, Kapelos captures and communicates our collective past and present. 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.

"From October 2017 to September 2019, I made five journeys to the region around Highway 16 in Northern British Columbia, Canada. This infamous stretch of highway is known as the Highway of Tears due to the inordinate number of women and girls, most of them are of First Nations descent, who have gone missing or been murdered along its length. This totals over 40 cases since 1969. The artist book, ''The other end of the rainbow'' presents my subjective photographic experience as that of an anonymous traveller in the region and is combined with three distinct texts throughout." - Kourtney Roy

Summary:
Originally published in 1974, this book is a critical work of Indigenous political activism that has long been out of print. George Manuel, a leader in the North American Indian movement at that time, with coauthor journalist Michael Posluns, presents a rich historical document that traces the struggle for Indigenous survival as a nation, a culture, and a reality. The authors shed light on alternatives for coexistence that would take place in the Fourth World—an alternative to the new world, the old world, and the Third World. Manuel was the first to develop this concept of the “fourth world” to describe the place occupied by Indigenous nations within colonial nation-states. Accompanied by a new introduction and afterword, this book is as poignant and provocative today as it was when first published.
