Description
Book SynopsisUnacknowledged truths about the history and persistence of Settler colonialism in Canada haunt the commercial features of this country’s sporting events. Red Mitten Nationalism investigates contemporary Canadian patriotism by exploring how understandings of Canadian identity are shaped at the intersection of sport, nationalism, and commercialism.
Trade Review“Fresco engages with the timely and important issues of colonization, reconciliation, and Indigenous resistance through the lens of sport. Thoughtful, insightful, and benefitting greatly from the author's own considerable primary research, Red Mitten Nationalism makes a unique contribution to our understanding of the connections between the Olympic Games, nationalism, and commercialism.” Richard Gruneau, Simon Fraser University and author of Sport and Modernity
