Bøger i Connecting the Greater West Series serien

Presents an innovative comparison of indigenous peoples who traversed North American borders in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The resulting history questions how opposing national borders affect and react differently to Native identity and offers new insights into what it has meant to be ""indigenous"" or an ""immigrant"".

Uses agricultural history to connect the regional experiences of the American West, northern Mexico, western Canada, and the North American side of the Pacific Rim. Case studies of commodity production and distribution, trans-border agricultural labour, and environmental change unite to reveal new perspectives on a historiography traditionally limited to a regional approach.
