Recent Book Launch

I am delighted to have been part of the recent launch of On the Other Side(s) of 150, held on June 1, at the 2021 Association of Canadian College and University Teachers of English (ACCUTE) conference. Edited by Sarah Henzi and Linda Morra and published by Wilfrid Laurier University Press, the essay collection explores “Untold Stories and Critical Approaches to History, Literature, and Identity in Canada” in the wake of Canada’s 150th birthday. My contribution, “German Internment Camps in the Maritimes: Another Untold Story in P.S. Duffy’s The Cartographer of No Man’s Land” argues that this American author’s 2013 novel “offers a more ambivalent and complex vision of the ways in which Canada—and specifically Nova Scotia—has occluded its own history of racism and racial motivated discrimination” (221).

Thanks to Jen Low, the event coordinator for taking this wonderful screen shot of some contributors with their copies!
