About this book

Canadian Content looks at Canada as an ongoing postcolonial process of not one but a series of radically different nationhoods, each with its own valued but tentative set of cultural criteria for orchestrating and implementing a Canadian national experience.

Reviews

Ged Martin: The Round Table: The Commonwealth Journal of International Affairs, vol 100:412:2011:
‘Edwardson has written a substantial and impressive book on the evolution of Canada’s official policies to support national culture… It provides a valuable discussion of the issues involved in protecting cultural expression on the national stage as we drown in globalization.’
