Making a vital contribution to our understanding of North American
borderlands history through its examination of the northernmost
stretches of the U.S.-Canada border, Andrea Geiger highlights the
role that the North Pacific borderlands played in the construction
of race and citizenship on both sides of the international border
from 1867, when the United States acquired Russia's interests in
Alaska, through the end of World War II. Imperial, national,
provincial, territorial, reserve, and municipal borders worked
together to create a dynamic legal landscape that both Indigenous
and non-Indigenous people negotiated in myriad ways as they
traversed these borderlands. Adventurers, prospectors, laborers,
and settlers from Europe, Canada, the United States, Latin America,
and Asia made and remade themselves as they crossed from one
jurisdiction to another. Within this broader framework, Geiger pays
particular attention to the ways in which Japanese migrants and the
Indigenous people who had made this borderlands region their home
for millennia-Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian among others-negotiated
the web of intersecting boundaries that emerged over time, charting
the ways in which they infused these reconfigured national,
provincial, and territorial spaces with new meanings.
