520    "According to its licence plates, tourist brochures, and 
       commercials, Nova Scotia is Canada's Ocean Playground--an 
       idyllic vacation spot brimming with traditional cultural 
       experiences. Yet this picturesque and welcoming ad-
       friendly façade overlooks the province's history of 
       industrial development, the impact of resource extraction 
       on its landscape, and the effects of its painful and still
       unfinished period of deindustrialization. Recounting Nova 
       Scotia's struggle to come to terms with its extractive and
       industrial past, Nights below Foord Street focuses on the 
       spaces ignored by the province's annual Doers and Dreamers
       tourist guide. Drawing on literary texts by Lynn Coady, 
       Leo McKay, Sarah Mian, and Jonathan Campbell, popular 
       television shows such as Trailer Park Boys, and films 
       including Blackbird, Cottonland, and Poor Boy's Game, 
       Peter Thompson examines the ways in which contemporary 
       authors, filmmakers, and artists explore the lingering 
       consequences of the boom-and-bust cycles of mining and 
       manufacturing. As he demonstrates, these narratives depict
       a legacy of environmental exploitation, pollution, 
       intermittent disasters, and labour violence left behind by
       the industrial era, all of which contrast starkly with the
       romantic and nostalgic portrait of Nova Scotia's 
       industrial heritage promoted in museums, monuments, and 
       tourist sites. As Donald Trump and other populist 
       politicians appeal to working-class nostalgia and 
       international attention converges on environmental racism 
       in northern Nova Scotia, Nights below Foord Street 
       intervenes into debates over the cultural and social 
       effects of the post-industrial economy."--|cProvided by
