Reading canonical texts such as .Last of the Mohicans. and .Backwoods of Canada. against underanalyzed texts such as .Adventures in Canada. and .George Linton or the First Years of a British Colony., it demonstrates how tropes like the settler hero and his indigenous servant, the animal hunt, the indigenous attack, and the lost child cross national boundaries. Settlers similarly responded to the stressors of taking another’s land through the stories they told about themselves, which functioned to defend against uncomfortable feelings of guilt and ambivalence by creating new versions of reality. This book traces parallels in 20th and 21st century texts to ultimately argue that contemporary settlers continue to fight similar psychological and cultural battles since settlement is never complete. | | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | | 关键词 | Indigenous; Native Americans; New World; Indians; Colonialism; Australia; Aboriginal; Kate Grenville; James | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-00422-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-40427-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-00422-4 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
