in 2007, little mosque on the prairie premiered on the canadian broadcasting corporation network. it told the story of a mosque community that worshiped in the basement of an anglican church. it was a bona fide hit, running for six seasons and playing on networks all over the world.
kyle conway's textual analysis and in-depth research, including interviews from the show's creator, executive producers, writers, and cbc executives, reveals the many ways muslims have and have not been integrated into north american television. despite a desire to showcase the diversity of muslims in canada, the makers of little mosque had to erase visible signs of difference in order to reach a broad audience. this paradox of 'saleable diversity' challenges conventional ideas about the ways in which sitcoms integrate minorities into the mainstream.
(2)beaton's engaging and insightful analysis of four case studies-- the establishment of the cape breton miners' museum, the construction of halifax's centennial swimming pool, the community improvement program, and the 1967 nova scotia highland games and folk festival--reveals the province's attempts to reimagine and renew public spaces. through these case studies beaton illuminates the myriad ways in which nova scotians saw themselves, in the context of modernity and ethnic identity, during the post-war years. the successes and failures of these infrastructure and cultural projects, intended to foster and develop cultural capital, reflected the socio-economic realities and dreams of local communities. the centennial cure shifts our focus away from the dominant studies on expo'67 to provide a nuanced and tension filled account of how canada's 1967 centennial celebrations were experienced in other parts of canada.
