- Description
Not Hockey is a collection of essays analyzing Canadian sports culture beyond the mainstream hockey tradition. It explores how other sports— such as lacrosse, curling, and baseball—are represented within Canadian literature and how they construct the overall impression of Canadian identity, culture, and history. The book addresses topics as varied as multiculturalism, regionalism, and the social significance of sports while offering a balanced examination of how these activities both mirror and construct Canadian society. The essays are organized in a manner that makes it simple to use excerpts within social studies classes, especially for learners who have particular interests in sports as it can potentially allow them to examine Canadian identity through an angle that has personal relevance to their lives.
