Canadian national identity is bound to the idea of a Great White
North. Images of snow, wilderness, and emptiness seem innocent, yet
this path-breaking book reveals they contain the seeds of racism.
Informed by the insight that racism is geographical as well as
historical and cultural, the contributors trace how notions of race,
whiteness, and nature helped construct a white country, in travel
writing and treaty making, scientific research and park planning, and
in towns, cities, and tourist centres. Rethinking the Great White
North offers a new vocabulary for contemporary debates on
Canada's role in the North and the meaning of the nation.
