"The Borderlands of the American and Canadian Wests" is the first
collection of interdisciplinary essays bringing together scholars
from both sides of the forty-ninth parallel to examine life in a
transboundary region. The result is a text that reveals the
diversity, difficulties, and fortunes of this increasingly powerful
but little-understood part of the North American West.
Contributions by historians, geographers, anthropologists, and
scholars of criminal justice and environmental studies provide a
comprehensive picture of the history of the borderlands region of
the western United States and Canada. "" "The Borderlands of the
American and Canadian Wests" is divided into six parts: Defining
the Region, Colonizing the Frontier, Farming and Other Labor
Interactions, the Borderlands as a Refuge in the Nineteenth
Century, the Borderlands as a Refuge in the Twentieth Century, and
Natural Resources and Conservation along the Border. Topics include
the borderlands' environment; its aboriginal and gender history;
frontier interactions and comparisons; agricultural and labor
relations; tourism; the region as a refuge for Mormons, far-right
groups, and Vietnam War resisters; and conservation and natural
resources. These areas show how the history and geography of the
borderlands region has been transboundary, multidimensional, and
unique within North America.
