Borderline Canadianness offers a unique ethnographic approach to Canadian border life. The accounts of local residents, taken from interviews and press reports in Ontario's Niagara region, demonstrate how borders and everyday nationalism are articulated in complex ways.

Trade Review
"Borderline Canadianness is meticulous in all its particulars. Helleiner is rigorous in her review of relevant literature, in how she uses it both in constructing the interview grid and analyzing her results, and in highlighting key findings." -- Claude Denis, University of Ottawa * British Journal of Canadian Studies *
