The iconic north : cultural constructions of Aboriginal life in postwar Canada

Summary: Resilient ideological assumptions, shifting economic priorities, and government policy in the postwar era influenced how northern culture was represented in popular Canadian imagery. In an enlightening exposure on Canada's cultural landscape, The Iconic North lays bare the relationship between settler nation-building and popular images of Aboriginal experience. It also redirects current debates about the geopolitical prospects of the North by addressing how women and gender relations have played a key role in the history of northern development.
