"""These scholarly essays do not wait patiently. They do not long for peace, order, and good government in Canadian literary criticism. They are not haunted by 'our lack of ghosts.' A testament to the power of unruly imaginings, this collection rips into the fabric of Canadian literary history and its cognitive institutions and weaves new possibilities for our global self-positioning. Argumentative, readable, ultimately hopeful--this is what critical scholarship can look like in the service of genuine social change."" -- Stephen Slemon, Department of English and Film Studies, University of Alberta"
