In this sophisticated analysis, Jocelyn Thorpe uncovers how struggles over meaning, racialized and gendered identities, and land have made Temagami a site of wild Canadian nature. Despite the fact that the Teme-Augama Anishnabai have for many generations understood the region as their homeland rather than as a wilderness, the forestry and tourism industries, as well as Canadian law, have refused to acknowledge this claim. Instead, the concept of wilderness has been employed to aid in Aboriginal dispossession and to create a home for non-Aboriginal Canadians on Native land.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn eloquent critique and engaging history, \u003cem\u003eTemagami's Tangled Wild\u003c\/em\u003e challenges readers to acknowledge how colonial relations are embedded in our notions of wilderness, and to reconsider our understanding of the wilderness i\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book’s short length and clear writing, which make it ideal for teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels, belie not only this ambitious objective but also Thorpe’s carefully theorizing and rich historical detail. -- Rosemary-Claire Collard * The Goose, Issue 11, 2012 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword: Nature and Nation in a “Little Known District amid the Wilds of Canada” \/ \u003cem\u003eGraeme Wynn\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Welcome to n’Daki Menan (“Our Land”)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Tangled Wild\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 Timber Nature\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Virgin Territory for the Sportsman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 A Rocky Reserve\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 Legal Landscapes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 Conclusion: A Return to n’Daki Menan\u003c\/p\u003eNotes; Bibliography; Index","brand":"University of British Columbia Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49404925280599,"sku":"9780774822008","price":70.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780774822008.jpg?v=1730488073","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/temagamis-tangled-wild-9780774822008","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
