Reviews
This book stands alongside other recent books that use the environment as a point of departure and that are reshaping our collective understanding of Canada's West as a diverse and shifting physical, social, and historical space. It brings a refreshing new perspective that forces us to rethink old chesnuts such as regionalism and the Prairie West during the Great Depression, without making these the sole focus of the analysis. It also very effectively incorporates Aboriginal history, interweaving Native and Newcomer perspectives in a thoughtful and thought-provoking fashion.Massie brings new perspectives from environmental history into the fold, including invaluable discussions of fuel, ecological consequences of exploitation, and the evolving character of agriculture and subsistence in the forest fringe, to offer an exceptional and innovative contribution to our historical understanding of the west.

Synopsis
Saskatchewan is the anchor and epitome of the "prairie" provinces, even though half of the province is covered by boreal forest. Forest Prairie Edge is a deep-time investigation of the edge land, or ecotone, between the open prairies and boreal forest region of Saskatchewan. Using place history and edge theory, Massie offers a refreshing new perspective that overturns long-held assumptions of the prairies and the Canadian west., Saskatchewan is the anchor and epitome of the 'prairie' provinces, even though half of the province is covered by boreal forest. The Canadian penchant for dividing this vast country into easily-understood 'regions' has reduced the Saskatchewan identity to its southern prairie denominator and has distorted cultural and historical interpretations to favor the prairie south. Forest Prairie Edge is a deep-time investigation of the edge land, or ecotone, between the open prairies and boreal forest region of Saskatchewan. Ecotones are transitions from one landscape to another, where social, economic, and cultural practices of different landscapes are blended. Using place history and edge theory, Massie considers the role and importance of the edge ecotone in building a diverse social and economic past that contradicts traditional "prairie" narratives around settlement, economic development, and culture. She offers a refreshing new perspective that overturns long-held assumptions of the prairies and the Canadian west.
