"Unsettled Remains problematises notions of Canadian national unity and memory, with the clear intention of challenging dominant hegemonic narratives. In this context, the genre of the postcolonial gothic invokes a dynamic space in which previously repressed or unheard narratives can find voice and expression. Ultimately, the collection considers the ways in which Canada's present is unsettled by its history, and documents Canadians' ambivalent reaction to their uncanny relationship with an estranged and haunted past." - Sharon Selby, University of Edinburgh, British Journal of Canadian Studies, Volume 23 (Number 2), 2010
