It is an exploration that reveals the socio-cultural trends that have shaped Canada since Confederation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough the prism of some exceptional athletes, the prevailing attitudes of many Canadians about class, race, masculinity, femininity, and national identity are laid bare. Here, from the sidelines, we learn how these attitudes have changed -- or not, as the case may be -- over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom team sports such as lacrosse, baseball, and cricket to Canada's cycling craze, track and field, and boxing, each chapter offers insight into an important aspect of the nation's narrative. The winners and losers of Canada's games simply mirror the larger questions that have faced Canadian society across three centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJason Wilson\u003c\/b\u003e is a bestselling Canadian historian and a two-time Juno Award nominated musician.
