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)unlike the benevolent orphan found in charlie chaplin's the kid or the sentimentalized figure of little orphan annie, the orphan in postwar eastern european cinema takes on a more politically fraught role, embodying the tensions of individuals struggling to recover from war and grappling with an unknown future under soviet rule. by exploring films produced in postwar hungary, the german democratic republic, czechoslovakia, romania, and poland, parvulescu traces the way in which cinema envisioned and debated the condition of the post-world war ii subject and the "new man" of soviet-style communism. in these films, the orphan becomes a cinematic trope that interrogates socialist visions of ideological institutionalization and re-education and stands as a silent critic of the system's shortcomings or as a resilient spirit who has resisted capture by the political apparatus of the new state.
