Reconfigurations

This volume offers challenging assessments of the reconfigurations that have shaped Anglophone and Francophone Canadian literatures in the last decades of the twentieth century. Focusing on the pursuit of an ever-elusive Canadianness in literary texts, it documents the astonishing range of Canadian diasporic identities that have recently emerged in the Canadian literary landscape.
