The three authors describe the peoples and places in the northeastern, middle and northwestern border regions of the USA and Canada. The novels address important border-oriented aspects such as indigeneity, the borderlands as historic territory and as utopian space, border crossing and transcendence, post-9/11 security issues, social interaction along the border, and gender specifics. The interpretation also examines the meaning of border imaginaries, border conceptualizations, and the theme of resistance and subversion UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/27285/1/1002727.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/27285/1/1002727.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/27285/1/1002727.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/36830 ER -
