Transatlantically / Danielle Fuller -- White settlers and the biopolitics of state building in Canada / Janine Brodie -- "Some great crisis": Vimy as originary violence / Robert Zacharias -- Amplifying threat : reasonable accommodations and Quebec's Bouchard-Taylor Commission hearings (2007) / Monika Kin Gagnon and Yasmin Jiwani -- The time has come : self and community articulations in Colour : an issue and Awakening thunder / Larissa Lai -- Archivable concepts : Talonbooks and literary translation / Kathy Mezei -- Is CanLit lost in Japanese translation? / Yoko Fujimoto -- The cunning of reconciliation : reinventing white civility in the "age of apology" / Pauline Wakeham -- The long march to recognition" : Sákéj Henderson, First Nations jurisprudence, and sui generis solidarity / Len Findlay -- bush/writing : embodied deconstruction, traces of community, and writing against the state in indigenous acts of inscription / peter kulchysk.
Smaro Kamboureli's introduction demonstrates that these essays engage with the larger realm of human and social practices - throne speeches, book clubs, policies of accommodation of cultural and religious differences, Indigenous thought about justice and ethics - to show that literary and critical work is inextricably related to the Canadian polity in light of transnational and global forces.
