Jennifer Henderson. Settler Feminism and Race Making in Canada. Toronto: University of Toronto Press. 2003. Pp. x, 288. $60.00.
The continued blurring of academic disciplines has enriched historical analysis in numerous ways. Contributions from geography and psychology have added social scientific perspectives to the understanding of the past, and engagement with research in linguistics, philosophy, and literature has contributed theoretical, conceptual, and methodological insights. While the increase in theory-based historical investigations has weakened the historical profession's contact with nonacademic audiences, these approaches have tied the discipline more closely with other fields. Historians are, as a consequence, exploring a broader range of analytical literature and offering more complex and comprehensive portraits of the past.	1
Interdisciplinary renderings of the past, of course, work in both directions. While historians are drawing on the work of scholars in other disciplines, so are researchers outside of history moving steadily into what used to be historians' terrain. This is particularly true in the case of disciplines such as geography, ethnography, and literature and has long been a characteristic of the study of western Canadian history. Literature specialists Laurence Ricou, William New, I. S. MacLaren, and Sherrill Grace have made significant contributions to the understanding of Canadian history. Jennifer Henderson's book continues in this tradition.	. . .
