| Summary |
"Since the elections of Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau, unprecedented international attention is being drawn to the differences between the United States and Canada. This timely volume takes a close comparative look at the national imaginaries of the two countries. In its analyses of the two countries' cultural productions--literature, but also film, opera, and even theme parks--it follows the approach of Comparative North American Studies, which has been significantly advanced by Reingard M. Nischik's work over recent decades"-- Provided by publisher |
