  • We the North Finalsubmission
    We the North? Race, Nation and the Multicultural Politics of Toronto’s First NBA Championship Funké Aladejebi, Kristi A. Allain, Rhonda C. George & Ornella Nzindukiyimana1 Abstract The Toronto Raptors’ 2019 NBA championship win, a first for the franchise and for a Canadian team, “turned hockey country into basketball nation” (CBC Radio 2020). Canadians’ growing embrace of the team and the sport seemed to point to a growing celebration of Blackness within the nation. However, we problematize the 2019 championship win to tell a more expansive story about how sport and national myths conceal truths about race and belonging in Canada. We explore two particular cases, the We the North campaign and the media coverage of Raptors superfan Nav Bhatia, to highlight the contradictory ways that the Raptors coverage mobilized symbols of the North and multiculturalism in order to produce the team as quintessentially Canadian and rebrand basketball for Canadian audiences. We further explore how these stark contradictions manifest in the racialized policing of basketball courts in the Greater Toronto Area. These cases demonstrate that the celebrations of the Raptors and basketball not only continued to police racialized bodies, but also ensured their inclusion was contingent on the maintenance of the status quo. Keywords: basketball, Canada, Raptors, the North, Blackness, Whiteness, Toronto 1 Introduction In June 2019, at the close of a long victory parade and in front of thousands of fans, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, and Toronto Mayor John Tory handed the keys to the city to Kawhi Leonard, the hero of the Toronto Raptors’ historic basketball season.

  • Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema
    PERFORMING ARTS • FILM HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF Historical Dictionaries of Literature and the Arts, No. 26 VARNER When early filmgoers watched The Great Train Robbery in 1903, many shrieked in terror at the very last clip, when one of the outlaws turned toward the camera and seemingly fired a gun directly at the audience. The puff of WESTERNS smoke was sudden and hand-colored, and it looked real. Today we can look back at that primitive movie and see all the elements of what would evolve HISTORICAL into the Western genre. Perhaps the Western’s early origins—The Great Train DICTIONARY OF Robbery was the first narrative, commercial movie—or its formulaic yet enter- WESTERNS in Cinema taining structure has made the genre so popular. And with the recent success of films like 3:10 to Yuma and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the Western appears to be in no danger of disappearing. The story of the Western is told in this Historical Dictionary of Westerns in Cinema through a chronology, a bibliography, an introductory essay, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on cinematographers; com- posers; producers; films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Dances with Wolves, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Searchers, Tombstone, and Unforgiven; actors such as Gene Autry, in Cinema Cinema Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, and John Wayne; and directors like John Ford and Sergio Leone. PAUL VARNER is professor of English at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas.
