Community Media Representations of Place and Identity at Tug Fest: Reconstructing the Mississippi River delves into the intricate interplay between individuals and their surroundings in two contemporary rural villages situated in the Midwest. Michael O. Johnston takes a profound exploration into the diverse ways in which place and identity are constructed among the residents of these two villages, thereby shedding light on the unique experiences that attendees of this annual interstate festival encounter. Johnston employs a comprehensive analysis of media coverage, encompassing local newspapers, local television news, and freelance journalists who covered the festival, to underscore the profound significance of media representations in capturing the essence of people's experiences during this remarkable event.

Throughout the book, Johnston meticulously showcases the intricate dance between the formation of identity and the shaping of place at Tug Fest. By tracing the trajectory of these contemporary festivals, Johnston poses a compelling challenge to the prevailing homogenization of individuals and places often associated with communities in the Midwest. This thought-provoking work offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics that shape our understanding of place and identity, contributing to a more nuanced and inclusive perspective on the region.
