In \u003ci\u003eA Bounded Land, \u003c\/i\u003eCole Harris seeks answers to a sweeping question: How was society reorganized, for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people alike, when Europeans resettled this distinctive land?\u003cp\u003eThrough a series of vignettes that focus on people's experiences on the ground, Harris exposes the underlying architecture of settler colonialism as it grew and evolved, from the first glimpses of new lands and peoples to the immigrant experience in early Canada to the dispossession and resettlement of First Nations in British Columbia. In the process, he explores how Canada's settler societies differed from their European progenitors and, more theoretically, how colonialism managed to dispossess.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt a time when Canada is seeking to overcome the legacies of colonialism, \u003ci\u003eA Bounded Land\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading. By considering the whole territory that became Canada over 500 years and focusing on sites of colonial domination rather than on settler texts, Harris unearths fresh insights on the continuing and growing influence of Indigenous Peoples in Canada and argues that country's boundedness is ultimately drawing it towards its Indigenous roots. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cole Harris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774864427\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774864428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Cole Harris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44042904764671,"sku":"9780774864428","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_90eaf8f9-a8d5-45f5-8daf-ea4e5ceb7af3.jpg?v=1684964190","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-bounded-land-cole-harris-9780774864428","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
