A Bounded Land

A Bounded Land is a guided tour through the work of a brilliant, insightful, and compassionate mind and body of work. ~James Murton, The Canadian Historical Review

This is the most informative, penetrating and best-written account that I have read on the topic. ~Jim Reynolds, The Advocate

A Bounded Land brings new dimensions and reflections to the work of Cole Harris as a scholar. The themes turn on settlement, colonization, dispossession, re-settlement, and the concluding theme throws light on Indigenous displacement and theories of empire and decolonization.

~Barry Gough, The Ormsby Review

Cole Harris has produced an eloquent compilation of work on settler colonialism in Canada. ~Ken Favrholdt, Kamloops, BC, BC Studies, Issue 209

There is a lot packed into this book ... [It] highlights the theoretical and practical policies that underwrote colonialism. In doing so, it helps to explain how the history of dispossession became inseparable from the rise of nation-states such as Canada.

~Benjamin Hoy, The Canadian Journal of History

It is to Harris’s credit that the innovative assembly of spatial and social vignettes in A Bounded Land prompts our reflection on Indigenous and settler relations in colonial Canada. ~Grace Keng, Pennsylvania State University, University of Toronto Quarterly

Overall, this book is not only a fitting capstone to an extroardinary career, but also an excellent primer for understanding Canada's settler colonial past. ~Ryan Hall, Colgate University, Pacific Historical Review
