MayerFrankfurt am Main, Germany :Peter Lang,[2014]©20141 online resource (227 pages) illustrations; digital, PDF file(s)Mainzer Studien zur Amerikanistik ;Band 64Originally presented as the author’s doctoral thesis: Mainz, 2014Print version: 9783631653227 Includes bibliographical references and index.The study centers on the presentation of the North American borderlands in the works of Canadian Native writer Thomas King’s Truth & Bright Water (1999), American writer Howard Frank Mosher’s On Kingdom Mountain (2007), and American writer Jim Lynch’s Border Songs (2009). 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.Mainzer Studien zur Amerikanistik ;Band 64.Border crossing in literatureCanadaBorder crossing in literatureUnited StatesBorderlands in literatureAmerican fictionBorderlands in literatureCanadian fictionElectronic books.Border crossing in literatureBorder crossing in literatureBorderlands in literatureAmerican fiction.Borderlands in literatureCanadian fiction.813.009Mayer Evelyn P.1980-9213659910306631403321Narrating North American borderlands2066591UNINA
