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. 410 0$aMainzer Studien zur Amerikanistik ;$vBand 64. 606 $aBorder crossing in literature$zCanada 606 $aBorder crossing in literature$zUnited States 606 $aBorderlands in literature$xAmerican fiction 606 $aBorderlands in literature$xCanadian fiction 608 $bElectronic books. 615 0$aBorder crossing in literature 615 0$aBorder crossing in literature 615 0$aBorderlands in literature$xAmerican fiction. 615 0$aBorderlands in literature$xCanadian fiction. 676 $a813.009 700 $aMayer$b Evelyn P.$f1980-$0921365 912 $a9910306631403321 996 $aNarrating North American borderlands$92066591 997 $aUNINA
