One of the common conceits of intellectual work, particularly in postcolonial theory, is that it is cosmopolitan in nature. Postcolonial critic Edward Said has made a virtue of the intellectual who crosses political and cultural boundaries.1 Julia Kristeva has theorized cosmopolitanism as a political and intellectual position in Nations Without Nationalism. In my own research into the recent development of the field of Postcolonial Studies, however, I have found that political borders have been quite effective in reducing intellectual exchanges between individuals working, nominally, on the same topic. In this paper, I will argue that the US–Canadian border exists not only along the 49th Parallel but also extends its reach across academic fields of inquiry—specifically, this paper will be looking to the divisions and potential intersections between Postcolonial and African American Studies
