Borderlands

Within the borderlands that separate and join Canadians and Americans, the Canadian search for difference goes on. ~Jeffrey Simpson, The Globe and Mail

What New has to say is important since he recasts the issues of national identity in a post-modernist fin de siècle ambiguity... New acknowledges new issues that have fundamentally challenged national boundaries, such as the multinational corporation, multiculturalism, and aboriginal identity. ~Anthony W. Rasporich, Western Historical Quarterly

... it would be a shame if New’s thoughtful and thought-provoking volume were overlooked because Borderlands is one of those rare books that work on many carefully layered levels: literary, poetic, philosophical and political. ... a rich tapestry. ~Georgia Straight, October 15-22, 1998
