The Politics of the Canoe

Beschreibung

Popularly thought of as a recreational vehicle and one of the key ingredients of an ideal wilderness getaway, the canoe is also a political vessel. The Politics of the Canoe expands and enlarges the stories that we tell about the canoe's relationship to colonialism, nationalism, environmentalism, and resource politics.
