Hardcover. Condizione: New. A thought-provoking meditation on the connections between landscape, race, and familyIt was on his third or fourth trip there that the poet C. S. Giscombe grew aware of the space Canada had staked out in his imagination. Giscombe later spent a winter with his family in British Columbia, and his time there provides a lens through which he interrogates his preoccupation with Canada's otherness. Giscombe writes that 'border crossings are always sexy. And racial.' And so this book is filled with both actual and metaphoric exploration--and his travels serve as points of departure for a series of riffs on racial, national, physical, and psychological borders.At the heart of this book is the author's ambivalent pursuit of John Robert Giscome, a man who may or may not be a relative. John R., as Giscombe calls him, was a black Jamaican explorer who flourished in British Columbia during the last half of the nineteenth century.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Provocative, passionate, & creative, with the propensity to offend and intimidate for various sticky reasons. Raw use of not entirely politically correct sarcasm, twisted, dark (Junigan) humor and metaphor shock the reader into a blatantly vivid and less public reality. Candid and risqué auto/ethnograpic narrations, poetry and rants are woven throughout the academic fabric and embeddded effectively into the literature. A poignant, gripping and frankly quite brutal piece of research. Frequent droppings of the f & a variety of c-bombs in a calamity of unladylike applications,(to which she replies, get over it people,it s just a word ),combined with creative use of language, offers a glimpse from a redneck, blue-collar, working class vantage. A solid attempt to make the uncomfortable comfortable , and no holds are barred .…
