'Over the river' - Border childhoods and border crossings at Niagara

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.
