The homing place : Indigenous and settler literary legacies of the Atlantic

Bryant, Rachel 1983- (author.).

Summary: "Can literary criticism help transform entrenched Settler Canadian understandings of history and place? How do nationalist historiographies, insular regionalisms, established knowledge systems, state borders, and narrow definitions continue to hinder the transfer of information across epistemological divides in the twenty-first century? What might nation-to-nation literary relations look like?"
