"Limelight charts the evolution of Canadian culture over a century and, in an engaging and accessible style, examines the way Canadian celebrities operate in a global celebrityscape--the ways in which the national and the global interact--with important implications for citizenship. Limelight is informative, entertaining, thought-provoking, and authoritative." --Gillian Roberts, University of Nottingham, editor of Reading between the Borderlines (2018) and Parallel Encounters (WLU Press, 2013) -- Gillian Roberts
