The border between Canada and the United States separates political sovereignties, but not the shared themes of cultural, social, and economic history that have unfolded since the 18th century. Transnationalism brings together original works that focus on the shared histories of the United States and Canada that have over two centuries created a distinct North American identity and sensibility.

The border between Canada and the United States separates political sovereignties, but not the shared themes of cultural, social, and economic history that have unfolded since the 18th century. Transnationalism brings together original works that focus on the shared histories of the United States and Canada that have over two centuries created a distinct North American identity and sensibility. Contributors explore the phenomenon of a North American history and discuss interactions between Canada and the United States from the eighteenth century to the present. Specific themes include the First Nations experience, national and North American identities and culture, social and economic cooperation, and issues of security and defence. Transnationalism challenges us to put the border in context order to better understand the past, present, and future interrelationships between Canada and the United States.

Will converging North American culture cause national identities to converge? Americans dismiss this question, but in Canada borders, as barriers to guarantee divergence or as conduits to channel convergence, remain powerful images. These dichotomies, however, confuse more than clarify. Fears of “Americanization” have been a staple of cultural policy-making in Canada since the 1920s. But such rhetoric has as often masked self-interest as it has explained an ostensibly cultural issue. The concept of “Americanization” rests upon delusions about what culture is and how it differs (or does not) between Canada and the United States. Walter Lippman, the US progressive journalist,

Comparative study of New England and the Maritime provinces seems at first glance to raise only regional questions. Are the two areas historically separate or are they a single region?

When Herbert Eugene Bolton wrote in 1932 about the idea of an Epic of Greater America, he argued for a broad historical vision of the Americas in order to offset the focus on
