"Covering Niagara: Studies in Local Popular Culture" closely
examines some of the myriad forms of popular culture in the Niagara
region of Canada. Essays consider common assumptions and
definitions of what popular culture is and seek to determine
whether broad theories of popular culture can explain or make sense
of localized instances of popular culture and the cultural
experiences of people in their daily lives.
Among the many topics covered are local bicycle parades and war
memorials, cooking and wine culture, radio and movie-going, music
stores and music scenes, tourist sites, and blackface minstrel
shows. The authors approach their subjects from a variety of
critical and historical perspectives and employ a range of
methodologies that includes cultural studies, textual analysis,
archival research, and participant interviews. Altogether,
"Covering Niagara" provides a richly diverse mapping of the popular
culture of a particular area of Canada and demonstrates the
complexities of everyday culture.
