"The dismantling of "Understanding Canada"--An international program eliminated by Canada's Conservative government in 2012--posed a tremendous potential setback for Canadianists. Yet Canadian writers continue to be celebrated globally by popular and academic audiences alike. Twenty scholars speak to the government's diplomatic and economic about-face and its implications for representations of Canadian writing within and outside Canada's borders. The contributors to this volume remind us of the obstacles facing transnational intellectual exchange, but also salute scholars' persistence despite these obstacles. Beyond "Understanding Canada" is a timely, trenchant volume for students and scholars of Canadian literature and anyone seeking to understand how Canadian literature circulates in a transnational world."-- 10 Unexpected Dialogical Space in David Albahari's Immigrant Writing11 The Politics of Art and Affect in Michael Helm's; V Reading Publics; 12 Canada through the Lens of the Communist Censor; 13 Economies of Export; 14 Canadian Literature and Canadian Studies in the Czech Republic; Works Cited; Contributors; Index; Other Titles from The University of Alberta Press Title Page; Copyright Page; Contents; Acknowledgements; Introduction; I Contexts, Provocations, and Knowledge Territories; 1 Beyond Understanding Canada; 2 The Understanding Canada Program and International Canadian Literary Studies; 3 Indigenous Writing in Indigenous Languages; II Roots and Routes; 4 Canada in Black Transnational Studies; 5 "Why Don't You Write about Canada?"; 6 Canada and the Black Atlantic; III Mapping Bodies, Place, and Time; 7 "Off the Highway"; 8 Canadian Photography and the Exhaustion of Landscape; 9 Posthuman Affect in the Global Empire; IV Border Zones
