商品簡介
For many Canadians, wilderness is a fairly straightforward idea
- an untouched natural place to visit and to protect. Yet, in
Temagami's Tangled Wild, Jocelyn Thorpe shows in vivid
historical detail that "wilderness" is not what it
seems.
Tracing the processes and power relationships through which the
Temagami area of northeastern Ontario became famous as a site of
Canadian wilderness, Thorpe uncovers how struggles over meaning,
racialized and gendered identities, and land have made Temagami into a
place of wild Canadian nature. While the Teme-Augama Anishnabai have
for many generations understood the region as their homeland rather
than as a wilderness, their relationships with this traditional
territory have been disrupted by the mechanisms of forestry, tourism,
and Canadian law. In the end, the concept of wilderness has been
employed to aid in Aboriginal dispossession and to create a home for
non-Aboriginal Canadians on Native land.
An eloquent and sophisticated analysis, Temagami's Tangled
Wild challenges readers to acknowledge how colonial relations are
embedded in our notions of wilderness, and to reconsider our
understanding of the wilderness ideal.
