Gebundenes Buch

Canadian Literature and Cultural Memory

Beschreibung

This wide-ranging collection of essays explores aspects of historical remembering in Canadian literature. Essays consider a range of topics, from Canada's earliest historical narratives to its most recent, and are representative of the country's regional character, as well as of the ongoing movement of peoples in immigration and diaspora. The book's division into five parts (amnesia, postmemory, recovery work, trauma, and globalization) reflect the many ways the pastinfuses the present, and how the present adapts the past.
