This week’s featured CanLit Guides chapter is “Indigenous and Diasporic Intersections in Canadian Literature” by L. Camille van der Marel:
Indigenous and diasporic texts are often taught in the same Canadian literature classes and have shared concerns with race, displacement, identity, and community. That said, literary scholars rarely place these literatures in dialogue with one another. This chapter offers guidance for those trying to see, discuss, and research the connections between these two bodies of literature.
