The book explores the historical significance of the U.S.-Canada border, particularly the North Pacific borderlands, in shaping race and citizenship from 1867 to the end of World War II. It examines how various borders—imperial, national, and local—interacted to create a complex legal environment navigated by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals. The narrative includes the experiences of adventurers, laborers, and settlers from diverse backgrounds who constantly redefined their identities while moving across these shifting boundaries.
