- This monograph (pp. 216; 77,000 words) presents a new theory connecting reading, borders, and citizenship in North America. It offers modes of analysis that challenge exclusionary ideologies of borders and citizenship in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. The book explores, contextualises, and connects a wide range of contemporary cultural work (poetry, performance art, autobiography, and fiction) by diverse authors from minority groups across North America. Each of the six chapters is equivalent to a journal article and together reveal a hemispheric understanding of reading, borders, and citizenship.
