The Beaver Bites Back? is an edited collection of scholarly essays examining the transmission and impact of American popular culture in Canada. Contributors analyse print and broadcast media, sport, religious evangelism and live performance to show how influences travel across the border and are reworked in distinctly Canadian ways.

The volume argues that Canadian responses range from adaptation to parody and subversion, and that these reactions help articulate Canadian identity and cultural sovereignty. Essays come from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, offering social, historical and media-focused readings.

Key themes

• Channels of cultural transmission: media, sport and live events
• Creative and parodic Canadian responses
• Questions of identity, audience and national sovereignty

Published by McGill-Queen's Press (1993), this collection is suited to students, researchers and readers interested in cultural studies, media history and Canadian identity.
