Reviews
“The book is well-conceived and the articles offer compelling reading and dynamic viewpoints that would make for a fine addition to Canadian Studies and popular culture courses. [Beaty and Sullivan] effectively demonstrate that popular culture can be a means of communication on a broader scale when context is taken into consideration. By setting the stage for the reader in their discussions of how popular culture should be considered, they are able to subtly remind the reader that context matters just as much as content.”
