- Summary:
- New England and Canada's Maritime provinces share centuries-old connections. In a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary examination, this volume takes a critical and analytical approach to comparisons between the two regions.
- Leading scholars examine the relationship between New England and the Maritimes through an analysis of historic, economic, political, social, cultural, and environmental themes common to both. They show the effects of the evolution of the region from a borderland with ill-defined boundaries to a bordered land with defined political borders. They also demonstrate that such boundaries are never absolute and argue that in some ways the region remains a social, cultural, and environmental borderland.
- In a significant addition to the growing field of transnational studies, New England and the Maritime Provinces reveals a relationship that has been troubled at times but retains its importance, even in the current era of globalization.
