Book Synopsis Canoe Nation by : Bruce Erickson

Download or read book Canoe Nation written by Bruce Erickson and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2013-06-15 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than an ancient means of transportation and trade, the canoe has come to be a symbol of Canada itself. In Canoe Nation, Bruce Erickson argues that the canoe’s sentimental power has come about through a set of narratives that attempt to legitimize a particular vision of Canada that overvalues the nation’s connection to nature. From Alexander Mackenzie to Grey Owl to Pierre Elliott Trudeau, the canoe authenticates Canada’s reputation as a tolerant, environmentalist nation, even when there is abundant evidence to the contrary. Ultimately, the stories we tell about the canoe need to be understood as moments in the ever-contested field of cultural politics.
