Since 2001 and the beginning of the "War on Terror," Canadian
culture has undergone a profound militarization. Moving away from
previous myths of national identity centred on notions of
multiculturalism and peacekeeping, Canada is increasingly being
defined through a new patriotism based on military and policing
actions around the world. In this book, A.L. McCready explains how
this cultural transformation took place by examining a range of
Canadian cultural case studies, from the supposedly grassroots
"Support Our Troops" campaigns to films and CBC programs. McCready
shows how a combination of cultural shifts and explicit government
actions have worked to silence internal debate and criticism and to
transform Canadians' understanding of their country and its role in
the world. McCready also shows how today's patriotic militarism is
part of a much broader socio-economic transformation of Canadian
society towards a more neo-conservative and free-market oriented
paradigm and how Canada's militarized nationalism emerges from and
is continuous with the nation's racial and colonial history.
