Abstract

Review of: A Bounded Land: Reflections on Settler Colonialism in Canada Cole Harris (Vancouver, BC: UBC Press, 2020), 344 pages In A Bounded Land: Reflections on Settler Colonialism in Canada, distinguished Canadian geographer Cole Harris republishes a selection of his many writings and thereby reframes his interrogation of the meaning of the term “settler” in “settler colonialism.” Through an exploration of various immigrant experiences at specific locations, Harris lays out a broad architecture of settler colonialism through an analysis of the organization of immigrant space and the contraction of Indigenous space since settler colonialism began in Canada some 500 years ago.
