Postscript
The Fraser Canyon Encountered
A Bounded Land
Canada is a country of bounded spaces – a nation situated between rock and cold to the north and a political border to the south. In A Bounded Land, Cole Harris seeks answers to a sweeping question: How was society reorganized – for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people alike – when Europeans resettled this distinctive land? Through a series of vignettes that focus on people’s experiences on the ground, Harris exposes the underlying architecture o…
The Condition of Postmodernity
Postmodernism has been particularly important in acknowledging 'the multiple forms of otherness as they emerge from differences in subjectivity, gender and sexuality, race and class, temporal and spatial geographic locations and dislocations'. Postmodernism also ought to be looked at as mimetic of the social, economic, and political practices in society. The meta-narratives that the postmodernists decry were much more open, nuanced, and sophistic…
Brève histoire du régime seigneurial by Benoît Grenier
Reviewed by: Brève histoire du régime seigneurial by Benoît Grenier Cole Harris Grenier, Benoît – Brève histoire du régime seigneurial, Montréal, Éditions du Boréal, 2012, 245 p. European feudalism grew out of European circumstances, and when transplanted across the Atlantic was recontextualized in settings quite unlike those in which it had flourished in Europe. The press of people on land was absent; the relative value of land fell dramatically…
Le Pays Revêche
Traduction : Laurier Saint-Yves Cartographie : Eric Leinberger Le pays revêche décrit l’évolution du mode de colonisation et les relations changeantes entre les gens et la terre au Canada, de la fin du xve siècle jusqu’à l’époque de la Confédération à la fin des années 1860 et au début des années 1870. Ce livre décrit comment cet espace profondément autochtone est reconstitué selon des termes européens et comment, en même temps, les façons de fai…
A Life between Geography and History
Asked to write about my scholarly career, I do as bid. I briefly explain how I became a historical geographer and what I take to be the particular interests and opportunities of this small field tucked between geography and history. I describe the different intellectual climates in which my work has been situated, a brazen, law-seeking positivism in the sixties and later an almost equally brazen cultural theory, and my response to them. I identif…
The Spaces of Early Canada
This article considers the relationship between the increasingly humanized spaces of early Canada and the patches of settlement that, at Confederation, were assembled into a country. It suggests that Harold Innis correctly identified some of the essential spaces of early Canada as, in his American way, did Frederick Jackson Turner. Both, however, offer limited perspectives: Innis because his analysis ill fit the areas of agricultural settlement w…
The Reluctant Land
Winner, 2008 K.D. Srivastava Prize for Excellence in Scholarly Publishing , UBC Press The Reluctant Land describes the evolving pattern of settlement and the changing relationships of people and land in Canada from the end of the fifteenth century to the Confederation years of the late 1860s and early 1870s. It shows how a deeply indigenous land was reconstituted in European terms, and, at the same time, how European ways were recalibrated in thi…

Historical geography and early Canada
The first section of this two‐part paper describes my historical geographical career, particularly the topics and issues I have pursued and the changing intellectual environment in which they have been situated. The second section offers a summary interpretation of the emerging human geography of early‐modern Canada followed by some reflections on its contemporary implications. This interpretation stresses the extent to which boundaries and disco…
Making Native Space
This elegantly written and insightful book provides a geographical history of the Indian reserve in British Columbia. Cole Harris analyzes the impact of reserves on Native lives and livelihoods and considers how, in light of this, the Native land question might begin to be resolved. The account begins in the early nineteenth-century British Empire and then follows Native land policy - and Native resistance to it - in British Columbia from the Dou…
The Resettlement of British Columbia
In this beautifully crafted collection of essays, Cole Harris reflects on the strategies of colonialism in British Columbia during the first 150 years after the arrival of European settlers. The pervasive displacement of indigenous people by the newcomers, the mechanisms by which it was accomplished, and the resulting effects on the landscape, social life, and history of Canada's western-most province are examined through the dual lenses of post-…
La nature a-t-elle encore une place dans les milieux géographiques
Les êtres humains modifient, aménagent et « artificialisent » les milieux géographiques au point de se demander si la nature y a encore une place. L’intitulé même de cette question qui sert de titre à l’ouvrage fait peser l’hypothèse du déclin de cette nature. Ce ne sont pourtant pas tant les impacts des interventions humaines sur celle-ci qui occupent nos réflexions. Plus nous avons tenté de répondre à cette interrogation, plus notre attention s…
The St. Lawrence
Dès l'aube de la colonie, le Saint-Laurent a été la voie de l'humanisation des paysages québécois, l'axe privilégié de peuplement de l'Est canadien, le facteur dominant de ses pulsations économiques et politiques. L'auteur, limitant son propos à la période antérieure au régime confédéral (1867), s'interroge sur les facteurs qui ont fait du Saint-Laurent le pôle géographique du Canada français et sur les « définitions » successives du fleuve, de 1…
How Did Colonialism Dispossess? Comments from an Edge of Empire
The emphasis on culture in studies of colonialism tends to obscure other forms of colonial power while making it impossible to contextualize the cultural argument and assess its salience. Rather than focusing on texts, systems of signification, and procedures of knowledge generation, as the colonial discourse literature is wont to do, a fuller understanding of colonial powers is achieved by explaining colonialism's basic geographical dispossessio…

Postmodern patriotism
Canada is an evolving human geography that has nurtured difference and made a unitary state impossible. In this short essay I allude to the historical‐geographical construction of Canada and the type of confederation it encouraged. I show how deeply different identities are ingrained in the fabric of this country. As the state cannot provide equally for all these identities, I consider the special claims of Native peoples and French speakers, par…

Harris, R.C. 1971
Towards a Geography of White Power in the Cordilleran Fur Trade
The fur trade detached European commercial capital from Europe, relocating it in the North American interior. There it worked out a set of largely taken‐for‐granted assumptions and practices ‐ what might be called the discourse of the fur trade ‐ that embodied a commercial geography and closely related strategies of Native management. These strategies rested on a politics of terror, a theatre of power, and complex alignments of Native and white i…

Recalibrating Society
The nominal census of British Columbia for 1881 provides the basis for this analysis of the population distribution and social structure of the province. The provincial distributions of whites, Chinese, and native peoples are mapped and discussed, as are the population geographies of three regions: the Lower Skeena/Nass, the Southwestern Plateau, and the lands around the Strait of Georgia. The essay concludes with a discussion of the social categ…
Voices of Disaster
This essay considers native and non-native evidence for smallpox around the Strait of Georgia and Puget Sound in the late eighteenth century. It concludes that smallpox devastated the Salish peoples of these regions, probably in the winter of 178I-82, reaching them via the lower Columbia from the plains where, in I780-8I, the disease was rampant. The implications of this conclusion and the reluctance of scholars to identify smallpox on the early …

Power, Modernity, and Historical Geography
In the changed intellectual climate since historical geography emerged as a substantial geographical subfield, issues of power and modernity have come much to the fore. For Michel Foucault, power is less a property than a strategy and is widely distributed in cultural discourses and their settings. For Jürgen Habermas, modernity imposes a distinctive context of communications that undermines the stability of traditional lifeworlds and holds out a…

The Historical Atlas of Canada
IN the spring of I979 the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada provided funds for a historical atlas of Canada. Under the general direction of historical geographers, the project would be an interdisciplinary research undertaking to create a scholarly reference atlas that would also serve the general public. The atlas would emphasize the economic and social evolution of early Canada in three volumes of seventy plates each (a p…
Seigneurial System in Early Canada
With its long thin fields and straggling rows of farmhouses stretching along either bank of the St Lawrence river for two hundred miles and more, the landscape of rural Canada toward the end of the French regime presented a distinctive charm and drew later writers to construct idyllic portraits of the social and legal system which, they believed, had shaped it.
