Sommario/riassunto

Political commentators, campaign operatives, and presidential candidates often believe that there is a vice presidential home state advantage in presidential elections. In recent elections, presidential campaigns have even changed their strategy in response to these perceived advantages. In this volume, Kopko and Devine demonstrate that vice presidential home state advantages are highly conditional but that a vice presidential candidate could change the outcome of a presidential election.

Sommario/riassunto

How do we make culture and how does culture make us?   Canadian Cultural Poesis takes a comprehensive approach toward Canadian culture from a variety of provocative perspectives. Centred on the notion of culture as social identity, it offers original essays on cultural issues of urgent concern to Canadians: gender, technology, cultural ethnicity, and regionalism. From a broad range of disciplines, contributors consider these issues in the contexts of media, individual and national identity, language, and cultural dissent.     Providing an



excellent introduction to current debates
