Download or read book A Hotly Contested Affair written by Andrew Carl Holman and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume traces the historical arc of Canada’s national winter game from its “founding” in Montreal in the mid-1870s into the early twenty-first century. The evidence presented in this book reveals how deeply embedded hockey was among the peoples of post-Confederation Canada. Composed of more than 150 edited and annotated documents, the volume is organized into chapters based on ten central themes. "An Evolutionary Game" explores hockey’s incremental growth. "A National Banner" demonstrates how English and French Canadians have used hockey to imagine themselves. "An Arena for Commerce" delineates hockey’s long relationship with moneymaking. "An Essentially Violent Game" highlights the sport’s reputation for roughness. "A National Problem" captures the discourse around hockey as an enemy to education, a source of labour exploitation, and a vehicle for Americanization. "A Question of Order, A Question of Character" examines the belief that hockey could generate respectable civic behaviour. "Hockey Talk" explores the technology and drama of hockey narration, and the concern in Quebec about hockey as a portal for anglicization. Hockey’s “whiteness” is examined in "Race and Social Order" along with the challenges that Indigenous, Black and Asian players and teams made to that hegemony. "A Gendered Endeavour" pieces together the quest among women and girls to play on integrated and segregated teams, and to control their sport. Finally, "An International Calling Card" illuminates the mercurial history of “Team Canada,” from the unmatched international power to one among many"--

Book Authorized Heritage

    Book Details:
  • Author : Robert Coutts
  • Publisher : Univ. of Manitoba Press
  • Release : 2021-03-19
  • ISBN : 0887559301
  • Pages : 264 pages

Download or read book Authorized Heritage written by Robert Coutts and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Authorized Heritage" analyses the history of commemoration at heritage sites across western Canada. Using extensive research from predominantly government records, it argues that heritage narratives are almost always based on national messages that commonly reflect colonial perceptions of the past. Yet many of the places that commemorate Indigenous, fur trade, and settler histories are contested spaces, places such as Batoche, Seven Oaks, and Upper Fort Garry being the most obvious. At these heritage sites, Indigenous views of history confront the conventions of settler colonial pasts and represent the fluid cultural perspectives that should define the shifting ground of heritage space. Robert Coutts brings his many years of experience as a public historian to this detailed examination of heritage sites across the prairies. He shows how the process of commemoration often reflects social and cultural perspectives that privilege a conventional and conservative national narrative. He also examines how class, gender, and sexuality often remain apart from the heritage discourse. Most notably, Authorized Heritage examines how governments became the mediators of what is heritage and, just as significantly, what is not.
