Strategic Parallels: Invoking the Border in Thomas King’s Green Grass, Running Water and Drew Hayden Taylor’s In a World Created by a Drunken God

Gillian Roberts

This essay compares King and Taylor’s Indigenous characters who assert Canadian identities strategically in order to combat American aggression. The provisional nature of these identity claims echoes the debates about nation-state citizenship for Indigenous peoples, making the border a site of struggle over the terms of, and claims to, belonging.
