Teaching Canada II - Identities, Cultures, Regions

Canada is a vast country. It spans nearly ten million square kilometers, from the Atlantic to the Pacific to the Arctic Ocean. Home to more than 40 million people, Canada is celebrated and scrutinized for its multicultural society, which includes its Indigenous peoples as well as a steady influx of newcomers from around the world. Together, they contribute to the nation's dynamic societal and cultural fabric, enriching its traditions, values, and collective identity.This second volume on 'Teaching Canada' pays tribute to the nations' diversity by offering a fresh take on the many dimensions that shape Canada's cultural identity. The authors provide a modern interpretation of literary genres, exploring graphic novels, conceptual poetry, and plays that center on young adults' trials and tribulations, as well as critical reflections on the narrative of the North and the cultural significance of the buffalo in the West. With chapters on videogames and sports, the book also includes themes often considered peripheral in cultural studies.
