Borderlands: How We Talk About Canada (Brenda and David McLean Canadian Studies)

This book traces some of the ways in which border metaphors pervade Canadian consciousness. Addressing a variety of social issues -- among them, separatism, marginalization, multiculturalism, colonial attitudes, national policies, language, and the influence of the United States. W.H. New shows how the border, though spatial in character, is political in intent and effect.
