"Canada is a bounded land--a nation situated between rock and cold to the north and
a border to the south. Cole Harris traces how society was reorganized--for Indigenous
and non-Indigenous people alike--when Europeans resettled this distinctive land. Through
a series of vignettes that focus on people's experiences on the ground, he exposes
the underlying architecture of colonialism, from first contacts, to the immigrant
experience in early Canada, to the dispossession of First Nations. In the process,
he unearths fresh insights on the influence of Indigenous Peoples and argues that
Canada's boundedness is ultimately drawing it towards its Indigenous roots."
