In this first collection on the history of the body in Canada, an interdisciplinary group of scholars explores the multiple ways the body has served as a site of contestation in Canadian history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShowcasing a variety of methodological approaches, \u003cem\u003eContesting Bodies and Nation in Canadian History\u003c\/em\u003e includes essays on many themes that engage with the larger historical relationship between the body and nation: medicine and health, fashion and consumer culture, citizenship and work, and more. The contributors reflect on the intersections of bodies with the concept of nationhood, as well as how understandings of the body are historically contingent. The volume is capped off with a critical introductory chapter by the editors on the history of bodies and the development of the body as a category of analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatrizia Gentile\u003c\/strong\u003e is an associate professor in the Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies at Carleton University. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eJane Nicholas\u003c\/strong\u003e is an associate professor in the Department of Women's Studies at Lakehead University. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 448\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 12, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53096174944480,"sku":"9781442613874","price":95.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/5909\/4496\/files\/0WEZ_H8lt39781442613874.webp?v=1781668729","url":"https:\/\/improvedinc.myshopify.com\/products\/contesting-bodies-and-nation-in-canadian-history-paperback","provider":"Improved Improper Input Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
