Tracking developments in the literature and its study from the centennial period to the present, it shows how current work in transnational studies can provide new insights for researchers and students. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Arguing first that the dichotomy of Canadian nationalism and globalization is no longer valid in today's economic climate, \u003ci\u003eTransnational Canadas\u003c\/i\u003e explores the legacy of leftist nationalism in Canadian literature. It examines the interventions of multicultural writing in the 1980s and 1990s, investigating the cultural politics of the period and how they increasingly became part of Canada's state structure. Under globalization, the book concludes, we need to understand new forms of subjectivity and mobility as sites for cultural politics and look beyond received notions of belonging and being. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e An original contribution to the study of Canadian literature, \u003ci\u003eTransnational Canadas\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to invigorate discussion by challenging students and researchers to understand the national and the global simultaneously, to look at the politics of identity beyond the rubric of multiculturalism, and to rethink the slippery notion of the political for the contemporary era. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kit Dobson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1554580633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781554580637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilfrid Laurier University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/04\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/18\/2009 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 287","brand":"Kit Dobson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48518906347775,"sku":"9781554580637","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3803293e-f53a-4da0-a1e9-c9b1b0e9e91a.jpg?v=1778736105","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transnational-canadas-kit-dobson-9781554580637","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
