CANADIAN MUSIC AND AMERICAN CULTURE GEBUNDEN

This collection explores Canadian music's commentaries on American culture. 'American Woman 
get away from me!' - one of the most resonant musical statements to come out of Canada - is a
cry of love and hate for its neighbour. Canada's close  inescapable entanglement with the
superpower to the south provides a unique yet representative case study of the benefits and
detriments of the global American culture machine. Literature scholars apply textual and
cultural analysis to a selection of Anglo-Canadian music - from Joni Mitchell to Peaches  via
such artists as Neil Young  Rush  and the Tragically Hip - to explore the generic borrowings
and social criticism  the desires and failures of Canada's musical relationship with the USA.
This innovative volume will appeal to those interested in Music  Canadian Studies  and American
Studies.
