Discovering Cape Breton Folklore

Richard MacKinnon

For more than two decades, Richard MacKinnon—Canada Research Chair in Intangible Cultural Heritage, Cape Breton University—has researched Cape Breton’s rich cultural heritage: from protest songs to company houses, from co-operative housing to nicknames, from log buildings to cockfighting.

In Discovering Cape Breton Folklore, professor MacKinnon revists some of his research and exposes us to some new.
