Reviews

In this book, Erickson places the canoe firmly in the middle of timely and thorny debates in Canadian cultural politics and makes us rethink our histories and present actions with new and provocative insights. It is a significant intervention in Canadian studies and other related fields including cultural and historical geography, environmental studies, and Aboriginal studies. - Laura Cameron, Department of Geography, Queen's University, and co-editor of Rethinking the Great White North: Race, Nature, and the Historical Geographies of Whiteness in Canada
