Description
This book explores the Canadian relationship with its portion of the Arctic region which revolves around the dramatic split between the appearance of absent-minded governance, bordering on indifference toward the region, and the raging nationalism during moments of actual and perceived challenge toward the sovereignty of the imagined âCanadian Arctic region.â Canadaâs nationalistic relationship with the Arctic region is often discussed as a reactionary phenomenon to the Americanization of Canada and the product of government propaganda. As this book illustrates, however, the complexity and evolution of the Canadian relationship with the Arctic region and its implication for Canadaâs approach toward international relations requires a more in-depth exploration
Please be aware than an error has been noted for Table 1.1 on page 71. In this table the sub-category âInuitâ is mislabelled. It should read âNative Indians and Inuitâ as the data presented represents this Canadian census sub-category which calculated all indigenous peoples and Inuit peoples together.
