Take sneak peek at the books you could win:
How Canadians Communicate III: Contexts of Canadian Popular Culture
- From Facebook to horror in film and television, from citizenship to museum policies, and from folk music to hockey, this book unravels how Canadian national identity engages with these popular culture themes.
How Canadians Communicate IV: Media and Politics
- Currently the most popular volume in this series, this book tackles the consequences of a 24-hour news cycle generated through Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and smartphone and how these tools can be used (or misused) for political discourse.
How Canadians Communicate V: Sports
- Canadians are spending less time actively participating in sports, but more time and money consuming sports. This book explores how media has taken advantage of this shift and what that means for Canadians and our national identity.
How Canadians Communicate VI: Food Promotion, Consumption, and Controversy
- What do our food choices communicate about us? This collection of articles examines the values embedded in food advertising, the locavore movement, food tourism, dinner parties, food bank donations, the moral panic surrounding obesity, food crises, and fears about food safety.
