| This book was a worthy winner of the 2006 Albert B. Corey Prize, awarded biennially by the American and Canadian Historical Associations for the best book dealing with Canadian-American relations. Its ambitions are substantial, albeit not quite as vast as the immense scope suggested by its title. A particular concern is migration, especially from Ontario to the United States; the perspective tends to be from Michigan, with the St. Clair and Detroit Rivers as the section of the "permeable border" of greatest interest, and the main period is the nineteenth century. |
