Canada/US and Other Unfriendly Relations

Molloy depicts a relationship between Canada and the US based on envy, rivalry, and misunderstanding. Drawing on a range of disciplines including sociology, international relations, and cultural studies, she examines contentious events in Canada/US relations and their connections to each country's political identity.

"Killing Canadians? Marrying Americans? Resisting and Ordering both? This fascinating study troubles what we think we know about US Americans, Canadians, and their relationships in ways that are as wise as they are witty." - Cynthia Weber, professor of International Relations, University of Sussex and co-editor, International Feminist Journal of Politics
