Although much of English Canada believes that hockey is a fanatically followed social unifier in the French-speaking province, in reality it has always been politicized, divided, and troubled by religion, class, gender, and language. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn\u003ci\u003e The Same but Different, \u003c\/i\u003ewriters from inside and outside Quebec assess the game's history and culture in the province from the nineteenth century to the present. This volume surveys the past and present uses of hockey and how it has been represented in literature, drama, television, and autobiography. While the legendary Montreal Canadiens loom throughout the book's chapters, the collection also discusses Quebecers' favourite sport beyond the team's shadow. Employing a broad range of approaches including study of gender, memory, and culture, the authors examine how hockey has become a lightning rod for discussions about Québécois identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHockey reveals much about Quebec and its relationship with the rest of Canada.\u003ci\u003e The Same but Different\u003c\/i\u003e brings new insights into the celebrated game as a site for community engagement, social conflict, and national expression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jason Jason Blake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0773550550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780773550551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McGill-Queen's University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/20\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2018","brand":"Jason Jason Blake","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096714584319,"sku":"9780773550551","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-same-but-different-jason-jason-blake-9780773550551","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
