with Sangster’s assertion that colonialism is “a lived experience of domination, negotiation, and resistance – and a profoundly gendered one at that” (5). Indeed, the last thirty years of literary and cultural history of the North has been devoted to unpicking the tangled relations of nation, race, and gender. As a feminist historian, Sangster is particularly attentive to the moments of contestation that can be discerned in the records, places where Indigenous resistance is on view; yet she is clear that to “understand the ideas and responses of Indigenous northerners” to the construction of their homeland would be “another project” (274). Rather, The Iconic North brings fresh insight and evidence of what these images tell us about how post-war Canada saw the North: as its own colonial other. renée hulan Saint Mary’s University

粗糙的工作：1841-1882年在英属北美和加拿大从事公共工程的劳工

桑斯特（Sangster）断言殖民主义是“一种统治，谈判和抵抗的活生生的经历，并且是那种深刻的性别歧视”（5）。确实，北方的文学和文化历史的最近三十年致力于揭开民族，种族和性别之间纠结的关系。作为女权主义者的历史学家，桑斯特特别注意可以在记录中看到的争斗时刻，在这些地方可以看到土著抵抗力量。但是她很清楚，“了解北方土著人的思想和对他们的家园的反应”将是“另一个项目”（274）。相反，标志性的北方带来了新的见解和证据，这些图像告诉我们战后加拿大如何看待北方：作为其自己的殖民地。renéehulan圣玛丽大学
