Line Which Separates

Autor Sheila McManus
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2005
In the late nineteenth century the forty-ninth parallel was a key site of Canadian and American efforts to shape their respective nations and to create national identities. The international border sliced through Blackfoot country, creating the Alberta-Montana borderlands yet the dynamic arising out of this regions landscape, aboriginal people, newcomers, railroads, and ongoing cross-border ties proved to challenge each governments efforts to colonise and nationalise this region. Shelia McManus makes an important and useful comparison between American and Canadian government policies and attitudes regarding race, gender, and homesteading. Drawing on government maps and reports, oral testimony, and personal papers, 'The Line Which Separates' explores the uneven way in which the borderlands divided a previously cohesive region.
