About This Item
Edmonton, AB: AU Press, 2008. Soft cover. Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; very light wear to edges; two small dot stains to side edge; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; appears unread; This book investigates the meanings and iconography of the Stampede: an invented tradition that takes over the city of Calgary for 10 days every July. Since 1923, archetypal "Cowboys and Indians" are seen again at the chuckwagon races, on the midway, and throughout Calgary. Each essay in this collection examines a facet of the experience - from the images on advertising posters to the ritual of the annual parade. This study of the Calgary Stampede as a social phenomenon reveals the history and sociology of the city of Calgary as a component of the social construction of identity for western Canada as a whole.
