Border childhoods and border crossings at Niagara

Brock University, Canada, jhellein{at}brocku.ca

Drawing on interviews with Canadian borderlanders, this article examines childhood experiences with the Canada—US border in the mid-1980s to early 1990s. The retrospective accounts of childhood border experiences demonstrate how childhood was produced and experienced in border crossings and how the production of childhood intersected with a stratified border to reinforce forms of privilege and exclusion associated with class, citizenship, gender and racial/ethnic positionings.

Key Words: border crossing • Canada—US • childhood • Niagara • privilege
