Community 151 Conclusion 199 Bibliography 205 330 $aFugitive Borders explores a new archive of 19th-century autobiographical writing by black authors in North America. For that purpose, Nele Sawallisch examines four different texts written by formerly enslaved men in the 1850s that emerged in or around the historical region of Canada West (now known as Ontario) and that defy the genre conventions of the classic slave narrative. Instead, these texts demonstrate originality in expressing complex, often ambivalent attitudes towards the so-called Canadian Promised Land and contribute to a form of textual community-building across national borders. In the context of emerging national discourses before Canada's Confederation in 1867, they offer alternatives to the hegemonic narrative of the white settler nation. 330 1 $a»?Fugitive Borders? shows how Black cross-border life writing at midnineteenth century speaks of the history of slavery and the experiences of the formerly enslaved and fugitive with idiosyncratic voices. Undoubtedly, readers of ?Fugitive Borders? will want to hear, understand, and learn more from them.« Paula von Gleich, American Studies, 65/1 (2020) 410 0$aAmerican studies (Transcript (Firm)) ;$vVolume 13. 606 $aBlack Canada; 19th Century; Slave Narrative; Life Writing; Borders; Literary History; Literature; America; Cultural History; American Studies; Migration; Literary Studies; 607 $aCanada$2fast 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 610 $a19th Century. 610 $aAmerica. 610 $aAmerican Studies. 610 $aBorders. 610 $aCultural History. 610 $aLife Writing. 610 $aLiterary History. 610 $aLiterary Studies. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aMigration. 610 $aSlave Narrative. 615 4$aBlack Canada; 19th Century; Slave Narrative; Life Writing; Borders; Literary History; Literature; America; Cultural History; American Studies; Migration; Literary Studies; 676 $a810.9/896071 686 $aHQ 4045$2rvk 700 $aSawallisch$b Nele$4aut$01081769 712 02$aKnowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2021: Backlist Collection$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910553083303321 996 $aFugitive Borders$92596389 997 $aUNINA
