The study centers on the presentation of the North American borderlands in the works of Canadian Native writer Thomas King s Truth & Bright Water (1999), American writer Howard Frank Mosher s On Kingdom Mountain (2007), and American writer Jim Lynch s Border Songs (2009). The three authors describe the peoples and places in the northeastern, middle and northwestern border regions of the USA and Canada. The novels address important border-oriented aspects such as indigeneity, the borderlands as historic territory and as utopian space, border crossing and transcendence, post-9/11 security issues, social interaction along the border, and gender specifics. The interpretation also examines the meaning of border imaginaries, border conceptualizations, and the theme of resistance and subversion."
