Dunk - It's a Working Man's Town

Dunk, T. W. (1991) It's a Working Man's Town: Male Working-Class Culture in Northwestern Ontario. Montreal : McGill-Queen's University Press. ISBN 9780773524835; EISBN 978-0-7735-6307-0

In a valuable addition to the debate on the nature of contemporary working-class culture, Thomas Dunk examines the ordinary weekend pursuits of working-class males in his home town of Thunder Bay, Ontario. He shows that the function and meaning of gender, ethnicity, popular leisure activities, and common-sense knowledge are intimately linked with the way an individual's experience is structured by class.
