Description: "Permeable Border is an interdisciplinary collaboration of three historians and a geographer (two Americans, one Canadian, and an American of Canadian descent) that traces the economic development of the Great Lakes Basin as borderland and as transnational region. It presents a regional view that transcends borders and makes vital connections between two national histories that are too often studied as wholly separate."--Jacket.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 237-282) and index.
