Nicks, Joan.
Slippery Pastimes : Reading the Popular in Canadian Culture. - Waterloo : Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 2006. - 1 online resource (356 pages)
Table Of Contents; Introduction; Heritage; Television; Music; Sports; Contributors.
Sixteen essays, written by specialists from many fields, grapple with the problem of a popular culture that is not very popular - but is seen by most as vital to the body politic, whether endangered by globalization or capable of politically progressive messages for its audiences. Slippery Pastimes covers a variety of topics: Canadian popular music from rock 'n' roll to country, hip-hop to pop-Celtic; television; advertising; tourism; sport and even postage stamps! As co-editors, Nicks and Sloniowski have taken an open view of the Canadian Popular, and contributors have approached their top.
