aBoriGinal Political science studiesoral history on Trial 

recognizing aboriginal narratives in the Courts 

Bruce Granville Miller 

This important book breaks new ground by 

asking how oral histories might be incorporated 

into existing text-based, “black letter law” court 

systems. Along with a compelling analysis of 

Aboriginal, legal, and anthropological concepts of 

fact and evidence, Oral History on Trial traces the 

long trajectory of oral history from community 

to court, and offers a sophisticated critique of the 

Crown’s use of Aboriginal materials in key cases. 

A bold intervention in legal and anthropological 

scholarship, Oral History on Trial presents a 

powerful argument for a reconsideration of the 

Crown’s approach to oral history.

The many Voyages of Arthur Wellington Clah 

a tsimshian man on the Pacific northwest Coast 

Peggy Brock 

First-hand accounts of Indigenous people’s 

encounters with colonialism are rare. A 

daily diary that extends over fifty years is 

unparalleled. Based on a transcription of 

Arthur Wellington Clah’s diaries, this book 

offers a riveting account of a Tsimshian elder 

who moved in both colonial and Aboriginal 

worlds. From his birth in 1831 to his death in 

1916, Clah witnessed profound change: the 

arrival of traders, missionaries, and miners, 

and the establishment of industrial fisheries, 

wage labour, and reserves. His many voyages 

– physical, cultural, and spiritual – provide an 

unprecedented Aboriginal perspective on colonial 

relationships on the Pacific Northwest Coast.

aboriginal Storytelling and the ethics of Collaborative authorship 

Sophie McCall 

In this innovative exploration, told-to 

narratives, or collaboratively produced texts 

by Aboriginal storytellers and (usually) non- 

Aboriginal writers, are not romanticized as 

unmediated translations of oral documents, nor 

are they dismissed as corruptions of original 

works. Rather, the approach emphasizes the 

interpenetration of authorship and collaboration. 

Focused on the 1990s, when debates over voice 

and representation were particularly explosive, 

this captivating study examines a range of 

told-to narratives in conjunction with key 

political events that have shaped the struggle for 

Aboriginal rights to reveal how these narratives 

impact larger debates about Indigenous voice 

and literary and political sovereignty.

indigenous Women and Feminism 

Politics, activism, Culture 

Edited by Cheryl Suzack, Shari M. Huhndorf, Jeanne Perreault, and Jean Barman 

Can the specific concerns of Indigenous women 

be addressed by mainstream feminism? 

Indigenous Women and Feminism proposes that 

a dynamic new line of inquiry – Indigenous 

feminism – is necessary to truly engage with the 

crucial issues of cultural identity, nationalism, 

and decolonization particular to Indigenous 

contexts. Through the lenses of politics, activism, 

and culture, this wide-ranging collection crosses 

disciplinary, national, academic, and activist 

boundaries to explore deeply the unique political 

and social positions of Indigenous women. A vital 

and sophisticated discussion, these timely essays 

will change the way we think about modern 

feminism and Indigenous women.

Being Again of One Mind combines a critical 

reading of feminist literature on nationalism 

with the narratives of Oneida women of various 

generations to reveal that some Indigenous 

women view nationalism in the form of 

decolonization as a way to restore traditional 

gender balance and well-being to their own 

lives and communities. These insights challenge 

mainstream feminist ideas about the masculine 

bias of Western theories of nation and about the 

dangers of nationalist movements that idealize 

women’s so-called traditional role, questioning 

whether they apply to Indigenous women.

Taking medicine 

Women’s Healing Work and Colonial Contact in Southern alberta, 1880–1930 

Kristin Burnett 

Hunters, medicine men, and missionaries 

continue to dominate images and narratives 

of the West, even though historians have 

recognized women’s role as colonizer and 

colonized since the 1980s. Kristin Burnett 

helps to correct this imbalance by presenting 

colonial medicine as a gendered phenomenon. 

Although the imperial eye focused on medicine 

men, Aboriginal women in the Treaty 7 region 

served as healers and caregivers – to their 

own people and to settler society – until the 

advent of settler-run hospitals and nursing 

stations. By revealing Aboriginal and settler 

women’s contributions to health care, Taking 

Medicine challenges traditional understandings 

of colonial medicine in the contact zone.

Unsettling the settler Within 

indian residential Schools, truth telling, and reconciliation in Canada 

Paulette Regan, Foreword by Taiaiake Alfred 

In 2008, Canada established a Truth and 

Reconciliation Commission to mend the deep 

rifts between Aboriginal peoples and the 

settler society that created Canada’s notorious 

residential school system. Unsettling the 

Settler Within argues that non-Aboriginal 

Canadians must undergo their own process of 

decolonization in order to truly participate in 

the transformative possibilities of reconciliation. 

Settlers must relinquish the persistent myth of 

themselves as peacemakers and acknowledge 

the destructive legacy of a society that has 

stubbornly ignored and devalued Indigenous 

experience. A compassionate call to action, 

this powerful book offers a new and hopeful 

path toward healing the wounds of the past.

Fort Chipewyan and the shaping of Canadian history, 1788–1920s 

“We like to be free in this country” 

Patricia A. McCormack 

The story of the expansion of civilization into 

the wilderness continues to shape perceptions of 

how Aboriginal people became part of nations 

such as Canada. Patricia McCormack subverts 

this narrative of modernity by examining nation 

building from the perspective of a northern 

community and its residents. Fort Chipewyan, 

she argues, was never an isolated Aboriginal 

community but a plural society at the crossroads 

of global, national, and local forces. By tracing 

the events that led its Aboriginal residents to 

sign Treaty No. 8 and their struggle to maintain 

autonomy thereafter, this groundbreaking study 

shows that Aboriginal peoples and others can 

and have become modern without relinquishing 

cherished beliefs and practices.

Gathering places 

aboriginal and Fur trade Histories 

Edited by Carolyn Podruchny and Laura Peers 

British traders and Ojibwe hunters. Cree women 

and their métis daughters. These people and 

their complex identities were not featured in 

history writing until the 1970s, when scholars 

from multiple disciplines began to bring new 

perspectives to bear on the past. Gathering 

Places presents some of the most innovative 

approaches to métis, fur trade, and First Nations 

history being practised today. By drawing on 

archaeological, material, oral, and ethnographic 

evidence and exploring personal approaches to 

history and scholarship, the authors depart from 

the old paradigm of history writing and offer new 

models for recovering Aboriginal and crosscultural 

experiences and perspectives.

spirits of our Whaling Ancestors 

revitalizing makah and nuu-chah-nulth traditions 

Charlotte Coté, Foreword by Micah McCarty 

Following the removal of the grey whale from 

the Endangered Species list in 1994, the Makah 

tribe of northwest Washington State and the 

Nuu-chah-nulth Nation of British Columbia 

announced that they would revive their whale 

hunts. The Makah whale hunt of 1999 was 

met with enthusiastic support and vehement 

opposition. A member of the Nuu-chah-nulth 

First Nation, Charlotte Coté offers a valuable 

perspective on the issues surrounding Indigenous 

whaling. Her analysis includes major Aboriginal 

studies and contemporary Aboriginal rights 

issues, addressing environmentalism, animal 

rights activism, anti-treaty conservatism, and 

the public’s expectations about what it means to 

be “Indian.”

No need of a chief for this band 

the maritime mi’kmaq and Federal electoral Legislation, 1899–1951 

Martha Elizabeth Walls 

In 1899 the Canadian government passed 

legislation to replace Mi’kmaw political practices 

with the triennial system, a Euro-Canadian 

system of democratic band council elections. 

Officials in Ottawa assumed the federally 

mandated and supervised system would redefine 

Mi’kmaw politics. They were wrong. Many 

Mi’kmaw communities rejected or amended 

the legislation, while others accepted it only 

sporadically to meet specific community needs 

and goals. Compelling and timely, this book 

supports Aboriginal claims to self-governance 

and complicates understandings of state power 

by showing that the Mi’kmaw retained political 

practices that distinguished them from their 

Euro-Canadian neighbours.

Judging homosexuals 

a History of Gay Persecution in Quebec and France 

Patrice Corriveau, Translated by Käthe Roth 

In 2004, the first same-sex couple married in 

Quebec. How did homosexuality – an act that 

had for centuries been defined as criminal and 

abominable – come to be sanctioned by law? 

In Judging Homosexuals, Patrice Corriveau 

finds answers in a comparative analysis of gay 

persecution in France and Quebec. By tracing 

over time how various groups – family and 

clergy, doctors and jurists – tried to manage 

people who were defined in turn as sinners, 

as criminals, as inverts, and as citizens 

deserving of protection, this book shows 

how the law helped construct the crime.

Awfully Devoted Women 

Lesbian Lives in Canada, 1900–65 

Cameron Duder 

The lives of many lesbians prior to 1965 remain 

cloaked in mystery. Historians have turned 

the spotlight on upper-middle-class “romantic 

friends” and on working-class butch and femme 

women, but the lives of the lower-middleclass 

majority remain in the shadows. Awfully 

Devoted Women offers a portrait of middle-class 

lesbianism in the decades before the gay rights 

movement in English Canada. This intimate study 

of the lives of women who were forced to love in 

secret not only challenges the idea that lesbian 

relationships in the past were asexual, it also 

reveals the courage it took to explore desire in an 

era when women were supposed to know little 

about sexuality. 

CAmEroN DUDEr is an independent researcher 

based in Vancouver. His research interests include 

sexuality, transgender studies, and the history of 

mental health.

solidarities beyond borders 

transnationalizing Women’s movements 

Edited by Pascale Dufour, Dominique Masson, and Dominique Caouette 

Scholars of social movements tend to overlook 

the achievements and political significance 

of women’s movements. Through theoretical 

discussions and empirical examples, Solidarities 

beyond Borders demonstrates the creativity 

and dynamism of transnational feminist and 

women’s groups around the world. These 

timely case studies from North America, 

Latin America, and Southeast Asia explore the 

benefits and challenges of extending ties beyond 

national borders and disciplinary boundaries. 

The contributors not only bring to light the 

opportunities and challenges that globalization 

poses for transnationalizing women’s movements, 

they offer important strategic, conceptual, and 

methodological lessons for all social movements.

Wife to Widow 

Lives, Laws, and Politics in nineteenth-Century montreal 

Bettina Bradbury 

This monumental study of two generations 

of women who married either before or after 

the Patriote rebellions of 1837-1838 explores 

the meaning of the transition from wife to 

widowhood in early nineteenth-century 

Montreal. Bettina Bradbury weaves together the 

individual biographies of twenty women to offer 

new insights into the law, politics, demography, 

religion, and domestic life of the time. She shows 

how women from all walks of life interacted 

with and shaped Montreal’s culture, customs, 

and institutions, even as they laboured under 

the shifting conditions of patriarchy. Immensely 

readable, Wife to Widow provides a rare window 

into the significance of marriage and widowhood 

during key historical moments in the history of 

Montreal and Quebec.

retail Nation 

department Stores and the making of modern Canada 

Donica Belisle 

The experience of walking down a store aisle – 

replete with displays, sales people, and infinite 

choice – is so common we often forget retail has 

a short history. Retail Nation traces Canada’s 

transformation into a modern consumer society 

back to an era – 1890 to 1940 – when department 

stores such as Eaton’s ruled the shopping 

scene and promised to strengthen the nation. 

Department stores emerge as agents of modern 

nationalism, but the nation they helped to define 

– white, consumerist, middle-class – was more 

limited, and contested, than nostalgic portraits of 

the early department store suggest.

A Wilder West 

rodeo in Western Canada 

Mary-Ellen Kelm 

A controversial sport, rodeo is often seen as 

emblematic of the West’s reputation as a “white 

man’s country.” A Wilder West complicates this 

view, showing how rodeo was an important 

contact zone – a chaotic and unpredictable place 

of encounter – that challenged expected social 

hierarchies. Rodeo brought people together across 

racial and gender divides, creating friendships, 

rivalries, and unexpected intimacies. Fans made 

hometown cowboys, cowgirls, and Aboriginal 

riders local heroes. Lavishly illustrated, this 

creative history returns to rodeo’s small-town 

roots to shed light on the history of social 

relations in Canada’s western frontier.

labour at the lakehead 

ethnicity, Socialism, and Politics, 1900–35 

Michel S. Beaulieu 

In the early twentieth century, politicians 

singled out the Lakehead as a breeding ground 

for radical labour politics. Michel Beaulieu 

returns northern Ontario to its rightful place as 

a birthplace of leftism in Canada by exposing 

the conditions that gave rise to an array of 

left-wing organizations. Cultural ties among 

workers helped bring left-wing ideas to Canada, 

but ethnicity weakened the left as each group 

developed a distinctive vocabulary of socialism 

and as Anglo-Celtic workers defended their 

privileges against Finns, Ukrainians, and 

Italians. At the Lakehead, ethnic difference 

often outweighed class solidarity – at the cost 

of a stronger labour movement for Canada.

placing memory and remembering place in Canada 

Edited by James Opp and John C. Walsh 

This important book explores the historical 

and theoretical relationships among place, 

community, and public memory across differing 

chronologies and geographies within twentiethcentury 

Canada. It is a collaborative work that 

shifts the focus from nation and empire to 

local places sitting at the intersection of public 

memory making and identity formation – main 

streets, city squares and village museums, 

internment camps, industrial wastelands, and the 

landscape itself. With a focus on the materiality 

of image, text, and artefact, the essays gathered 

here argue that every act of memory making is 

simultaneously an act of forgetting; every place 

memorialized is accompanied by places forgotten. 

JAmEs opp and JohN C. WAlsh are in the

Acts of occupation 

Canada and arctic Sovereignty, 1918–25 

Janice Cavell and Jeff Noakes 

In Acts of Occupation historians Cavell and 

Noakes deliver the engrossing story of Canada’s 

early days of Arctic policy. Drawing on a wealth of 

previously untapped archival sources, they show 

how one explorer’s self-serving ambition fueled 

unfounded paranoia about Denmark’s designs on 

the north, and ultimately served as the catalyst 

for Canada’s active administrative occupation 

of the Arctic. A compelling tale that throws new 

light on a transformative period in Canadian 

Arctic policymaking, Acts of Occupation offers 

much-needed historical context for contemporary 

debates on northern sovereignty.

T h e practice of Execution in Canada 

Ken Leyton-Brown 

It is easy to forget that the death penalty was an 

accepted aspect of Canadian culture and criminal 

justice until 1976. The Practice of Execution in 

Canada is not about what led some to the gallows 

and others to escape it. Rather, it examines how 

the routine rituals and practices of execution can 

be seen as a crucial social institution. Drawing 

on hundreds of case files, Ken Leyton-Brown 

shows that from trial to interment, the practice of 

execution was constrained by law and tradition. 

Despite this, however, the institution was not 

rigid. Criticism and reform pushed executions 

out of the public eye, and in so doing, stripped 

them of meaningful ritual and made them more 

vulnerable to criticism.

The business of Women 

marriage, Family, and entrepreneurship in British Columbia, 1901–51 

Melanie Buddle 

Throughout history, Western women have 

inhabited a conceptual space divorced from 

the world of business. But women have always 

engaged in business. The Business of Women 

explores the world of those women who embraced 

British Columbia’s frontier ethos in the early 

twentieth-century. In this detailed examination 

of case studies and quantitative sources, Buddle 

reveals that, contrary to expectation, the 

typical businesswoman was not unmarried or 

particularly rebellious, but a woman reconciling 

her entrepreneurship with her identity as a wife, 

mother, or widow. This groundbreaking study 

not only incorporates women into the history 

of business, it challenges commonly held beliefs 

about women, business, and the marriage 

between the two.

New possibilities for the past 

Shaping History education in Canada 

Penney Clark 

The place of history education in schools has 

sparked heated debate in Canada. Is history dead? 

Who killed it? Should history be put in the service 

of nation? Can any history be truly inclusive? 

This volume advances the debate by shifting the 

focus from what should be included in history 

education to how we should think about and teach 

the past. In this book, historians and educators 

discuss the state of history education research and 

its implications for classrooms, museums, virtual 

environments, and public institutional settings. 

They develop a comprehensive research agenda 

both to help students learn about the past and to 

understand how we construct history from its 

infinite possibilities.

inuit Education and schools in the Eastern Arctic 

Heather E. McGregor 

Since the mid-twentieth century, sustained 

contact between Inuit and newcomers has led to 

profound changes in education in the Eastern 

Arctic, including the experience of colonization 

and progress toward the re-establishment 

of traditional education in schools. Heather 

McGregor assesses developments in the history 

of education in four periods – the traditional, the 

colonial (1945-70), the territorial (1971-81), and the 

local (1982-99). She concludes that education is 

most successful when Inuit involvement and local 

control support a system reflecting Inuit culture 

and visions.

Corps Commanders 

Five British and Canadian Generals at War, 1939–45 

Douglas E. Delaney 

To be a strong leader, a military commander must 

master many skills – tactical analysis, timely 

decision-making, efficient communication, savvy 

supervision, and inspirational motivation. In 

Corps Commanders, Douglas E. Delaney explores 

the careers of an eclectic group of soldiers who 

commanded British and Canadian troops during 

the Second World War to show how these very 

different individuals were able to serve with, 

under, and over each other. In so doing, he 

offers a much-needed historical perspective on 

effective military action in a coalition context, 

and provides the most cogent picture to date of 

command and leadership at the corps level.

of history and chair of war studies at the Royal

Defence and Discovery 

Canada’s military Space Program, 1945–74 

Andrew B. Godefroy 

The Cold War space race between the United 

States and the Soviet Union is well documented, 

but few are aware of Canada’s early activities 

in this important arena of global power. 

Defence and Discovery represents the first 

comprehensive investigation into the origins, 

development, and impact of Canada’s space 

program from 1945 to 1974. Meticulously 

researched, it demonstrates the central role of 

the military in Canada’s early space research, 

illuminating a significant yet understudied 

period in Canada’s growth as a nation. 

ANDrEW b. GoDEFroy is a strategic analyst 

and historian with the Department of National 

Defence, as well as the editor in chief of the 

Canadian Army Journal . He previously served 

with the Directorate of Space Development, 

National Defence Headquarters, and was an 

official historian for the Canadian Space Agency.

The information Front 

the Canadian army and news management during the Second World War 

Timothy Balzer 

In wartime, capturing the hearts and minds of 

the citizenry is arguably as important as victory 

on the battlefield. The Information Front explores 

the Canadian military’s use of public relations 

units to manage news during the Second World 

War. These specialized units were responsible for 

providing sufficient and positive news coverage 

to Canadians at home. This fascinating study 

traces the transformation of an emergent PR 

organization into an efficient publicity machine. 

It also scrutinizes news coverage and PR activities 

during major Canadian operations at Dieppe, 

Sicily, and Normandy to reveal how the military 

used censorship and propaganda to rally support 

for the war effort.

Canada and ballistic missile Defence, 1954–2009 

déjà Vu all over again 

James G. Fergusson 

Since the mid-1950s, successive Canadian 

governments have responded to US ballistic 

missile defence initiatives with fear and 

uncertainty. Officials have endlessly debated 

the implications – at home and abroad – of 

participation. Drawing on previously classified 

government documents and interviews with 

senior officials, James Fergusson offers the first 

full account of Canada’s unsure response to US 

initiatives. He reveals that factors such as weak 

leadership and a tendency to place uncertain and 

ill-defined notions of international peace and 

security before national defence have resulted in 

indecision. In the end, policy-makers have failed 

to transform the ballistic missile defence issue 

into an opportunity to define Canada’s strategic 

interests at home and on the world stage.

militia myths 

ideas of the Canadian Citizen Soldier, 1896–1921 

James Wood 

This cultural history of the amateur military 

tradition traces the origins of the citizen soldier 

ideal from long before Canadians donned khaki 

and boarded troopships for the Western Front. 

Before the Great War, Canada’s military culture 

was in transition as the country navigated an 

uncertain relationship with the United States and 

fought an imperial war in South Africa. Militia 

Myths explores the ideological transformation 

that took place between 1896 and 1921, arguing 

that by the end of the War, the untrained 

citizen volunteer had replaced the long-serving 

militiaman as the archetypal Canadian soldier.

From Victoria to Vladivostok 

Canada’s Siberian expedition, 1917–19 

Benjamin Isitt 

This ground-breaking book brings to a life a 

forgotten chapter in the history of Canada and 

Russia – the journey of 4,200 Canadian soldiers 

from Victoria to Vladivostok in 1918 to help defeat 

Bolshevism. Combining military and labour 

history with the social history of BC, Quebec, and 

Russia, Benjamin Isitt examines how the Siberian 

Expedition exacerbated tensions within Canadian 

society at a time when a radicalized working class, 

many French-Canadians, and even the soldiers 

themselves objected to a military adventure 

designed to counter the Russian Revolution. 

The result is a highly readable and provocative 

work that challenges public memory of the First 

World War while illuminating tensions – both in 

Canada and worldwide – that shaped the course 

of twentieth-century history.

Contesting White supremacy 

School Segregation, anti-racism, and the making of Chinese Canadians 

Timothy J. Stanley 

In 1922-23, Chinese students in Victoria, BC, 

went on strike to protest a school board’s 

attempt to impose segregation. Their resistance 

was unexpected and runs against the grain of 

mainstream accounts of Asian exclusion, which 

tend to ignore the agency of the excluded. In 

Contesting White Supremacy, Timothy Stanley 

combines Chinese sources and perspectives with 

an innovative theory of racism and anti-racism 

to explain the strike and construct an alternative 

reading of racism in British Columbia. His work 

demonstrates that education was an arena in 

which white supremacy confronted Chinese 

nationalist schooling and where parents and 

students contested racism by constructing a 

new category – Chinese Canadian – to define 

their identity.

The Way of the bachelor 

early Chinese Settlement in manitoba 

Alison R. Marshall 

Many early Chinese settlers to Canada were 

bachelors who settled in Prairie towns and 

cities, opened the region’s first laundries, and 

invented the Chinese cafe. They maintained 

ties to the Old World and negotiated a place 

in the new by fostering a vibrant homosocial 

culture based on friendship, everyday religious 

practices, the example of Sun Yat-sen, and food. 

This exploration of the intersection of gender, 

migration, and religion in rural Canada broadens 

our understanding of the Chinese quest for 

identity in North America. Also included is a

Dreaming in Canadian 

South asian Youth, Bollywood, and Belonging 

Faiza Hirji 

As various nations wrestle with issues of 

immigration, integration, and pluralism, secondgeneration 

immigrants are exploring new ways 

to make sense of who they are and where they 

belong in the face of competing cultural demands. 

Dreaming in Canadian turns the spotlight on the 

role of Bollywood cinema in the production of 

cultural, religious, and national identities among 

South Asian youth in Toronto, Vancouver, and 

Ottawa. By documenting the voices of these 

young adults and how they draw on media in 

the formation of uniquely hybrid identities, this 

book interrogates the realities that underpin 

media portrayals of diaspora, nationalism, and 

multiculturalism.

Asian religions in british Columbia 

Edited by Larry DeVries, Don Baker, and Dan Overmyer 

British Columbia is Canada’s most ethnically 

diverse province. Yet in general we need to 

know more about the diversity of religions that 

accompanied immigrants to the province and 

how they are practised today. This book offers 

intimate portraits of local religious groups, 

including Hindus and Sikhs from South 

Asia; Buddhist organizations from Southeast 

Asia; and Tibetan, Japanese, and Chinese 

religions from East and Central Asia. The first 

comprehensive, comparative examination 

of Asian religions in British Columbia, this 

book is mandatory reading for teachers, 

policy makers, and scholars of local history 

and culture and of Asian Canadian studies.

Xavier’s legacies 

Catholicism in modern Japanese Culture 

Edited by Kevin M. Doak 

Japan has had three Catholic prime ministers, and 

its current empress was raised and educated in 

the faith. How did a non-Christian nation come 

to foster more Catholic leaders than the United 

States, particularly when Protestantism is said 

to define Christianity in Japan and Catholicism 

is believed to be but a fleeting element of Japan’s 

so-called “Christian century”? This volume 

reveals that, far from being a relic of the past – 

something brought to Japan by missionaries 

and then forgotten – Catholicism offered, and 

continues to provide, an authentic and alternative 

way for Japanese believers to maintain “tradition” 

and negotiate modernity. 

kEViN m. DoAk is the Nippon Foundation Chair 

in the Department of East Asian Languages and 

Culture at Georgetown University. He is co-editor 

of the Journal of Japanese Studies and sits on

reforming Japan 

the Woman’s Christian temperance union in the meiji Period 

Elizabeth Dorn Lublin 

In 1902 the Woman’s Christian Temperance 

Union (WCTU) petitioned the Japanese 

government to stop rewarding good deeds 

with the bestowal of sake cups. This campaign 

was part of a wide-ranging reform program to 

eliminate prostitution, eradicate drinking, spread 

Christianity, and improve the lives of women. 

As Elizabeth Dorn Lublin shows, members did 

not passively accept and propagate government 

policy but felt a duty to shape it by defining social 

problems and influencing opinion. Certain their 

beliefs and reforms were essential to Japan’s 

advancement, members couched their calls for 

change in the rhetorical language of national 

progress. Ultimately, the WCTU’s activism belies 

received notions of women’s public involvement 

and political engagement in Meiji Japan.

beyond suffering 

recounting War in modern China 

Edited by James Flath and Norman Smith 

China was afflicted by a brutal succession of 

conflicts through much of the nineteenth and 

twentieth centuries. Yet there has never been 

clear understanding of how wartime suffering 

has defined the nation and shaped its people. In 

Beyond Suffering, experts in Chinese history draw 

on often fragmentary accounts of nearly forgotten 

incidents to piece together the multiple fronts – 

social, institutional, and cultural – on which wars 

have been fought, experienced, and remembered. 

From the Blagoveshchensk Massacre to the trials 

of the Jiangxi Number One Children’s Home, 

these accounts of war-inflicted suffering bring us 

closer to understanding the larger problem of war 

and militarism in China.

keeping the Nation’s house 

domestic management and the making of modern China 

Helen M. Schneider 

The term home economics often conjures images 

of girls learning to cook dinner and swaddle dolls 

in sterile classrooms far removed from the seats of 

power. Helen Schneider unsettles this assumption 

by revealing how Chinese women helped to build 

a nation one family at a time. From the 1920s to 

the early 1950s, home economists transformed 

the most fundamental of political spaces – the 

home – by teaching women to nurture ideal 

families and manage projects of social reform. 

Although their discipline came undone after 1949, 

its legacies of gendered professions and leaders’ 

attempts to shape the domestic rituals of the 

people lived on.

Eating bitterness 

new Perspectives on China’s Great Leap Forward and Famine 

Edited by Kimberley Ens Manning and Felix Wemheuer 

When the Chinese Communist Party came to 

power in 1949, Mao Zedong declared that “not 

even one person shall die of hunger.” Yet some 

30 million peasants died of starvation and 

exhaustion during the Great Leap Forward. 

Eating Bitterness reveals how men and women 

in rural and urban settings, from the provincial 

level to the grassroots, experienced the changes 

brought on by the party leaders’ attempts to 

modernize China. This landmark volume lifts 

the curtain of party propaganda to expose the 

suffering of citizens and the deeply-contested 

nature of state-society relations in Maoist China.

smokeless sugar 

the death of a Provincial Bureaucrat and the Construction of China’s 

national economy 

Emily M. Hill 

Part history, part biography, and part mystery 

story, Smokeless Sugar traces the formation of a 

national economy in China through an intriguing 

investigation of the 1936 execution of an allegedly 

corrupt Cantonese official. Feng Rui, a Westerneducated 

agricultural expert, introduced modern 

sugar milling to China in the 1930s as a key 

component in a provincial investment program. 

Before long, however, he was accused of colluding 

with smugglers to pass foreign sugar off as a 

domestic product. Emily Hill makes the case that 

Feng was, in fact, a scapegoat in a multi-sided 

power struggle in which political leaders vied 

with commercial players for access to China’s 

markets and tax revenues.

Arming the Chinese 

the Western armaments trade in Warlord China, 1920–28, Second edition 

Anthony B. Chan 

First published in 1982, this book remains the 

classic account of the arms trade in warlord 

China. The second edition includes a new preface 

that reframes the argument within the paradigm 

of critical militarism and state criminality. 

Arming the Chinese tells the story of the Western 

and Japanese merchants and governments 

who provided weapons to warlords for their 

expanding armies. Although the warlords were 

hearty individualists who retained control over 

domestic affairs and rarely relied on single foreign 

suppliers, the armaments trade, Chan argues, was 

a new form of imperialism, which perpetrated the 

continued Western and Japanese domination of 

China.

Administering the Colonizer 

manchuria’s russians under Chinese rule, 1918–29 

Blaine R. Chiasson 

Harbin of the 1920s was viewed by Westerners 

as a world turned upside down. The Chinese 

government had taken over administration of 

the Russian-founded Chinese Eastern Railway 

concession, and its large Russian population. 

This account of the decade-long multi-ethnic 

and multinational administrative experiment 

in North Manchuria reveals that China not only 

created policies to promote Chinese sovereignty 

but also instituted measures to protect the 

Russian minority. This multi-faceted book is a 

historical examination of how an ethnic, cultural, 

and racial majority coexisted with a minority of 

a different culture and race. It restores to history 

the multiple national influences that have shaped 

northern China and Chinese nationalism.

moving mountains 

ethnicity and Livelihoods in Highland China, Vietnam, and Laos 

Edited by Jean Michaud and Tim Forsyth 

The mountainous borderlands of socialist China, 

Vietnam, and Laos are home to some 70 million 

minority people of diverse ethnicities. In Moving 

Mountains, anthropologists, geographers, and 

political economists with first-hand experience 

in the region explore these peoples’ survival 

strategies, as they respond to unprecedented 

economic and political change. Although 

highland peoples are typically represented as 

marginalized and powerless, this volume argues 

that ethnic minorities draw on culture and 

ethnicity to indigenize modernity and maintain 

their livelihoods. This unprecedented glimpse 

into a poorly understood region shows that 

development initiatives must be built on strong 

knowledge of local cultures in order to have 

lasting effect.

Women and property in Urban india 

Bipasha Baruah 

Half the world’s population now lives in cities. 

Governments and international development 

agencies have made housing the urban poor 

a priority, but few focus on women’s needs. 

Based on research conducted in Ahmedabad 

in collaboration with the Self-Employed 

Women’s Association (SEWA), this book 

maps the constraints and opportunities that 

low-income women throughout the Global 

South face in securing property, which 

remains overwhelmingly in male hands. Their 

experiences and vulnerabilities open a window 

to assess not only land tenure and property 

laws but also potential solutions such as 

microcredit financing and diverse theoretical 

approaches to gender and development.

Orienting Canada 

race, empire, and the transpacific 

John Price 

Colony to nation? Isolationism to internationalism? 

WASP society to a multicultural Canada? 

Focusing on imperial conflicts in the Pacific, 

Orienting Canada disrupts these familiar 

narratives in Canadian history by tracing the 

relationship between racism and Canadian 

foreign policy. Grounded in transnationalism 

and anti-racist theory, this study reassesses 

critical transpacific incidents, from the 1907 race 

riots to Canada’s early intervention in Vietnam. 

Shocking revelations about the effects of racism 

and war into the 1960s are tempered by stories 

of community resilience and transformation. A 

transpacific lens on the past, Orienting Canada 

deflects Canada’s European gaze back onto itself 

to reveal images that are both provocative and 

illuminating.

Faith, politics, and sexual Diversity in Canada and the United states 

Edited by David Rayside and Clyde Wilcox 

The recent agitation of lesbians, gays, and other 

sexual minorities for political recognition has 

provoked a heated response among religious 

activists, many of whom fear that moral decay 

is a necessary accompaniment to the public 

recognition of sexual diversity. In this remarkable 

comparative study, expert authors explore the 

tenacity of anti-gay sentiment, as well as the 

dramatic shifts in public attitudes towards queer

T h e Freedom of security 

Governing Canada in the age of Counter-terrorism 

Colleen Bell 

Post-9/11 security measures have sparked fears 

that the West is violating the very civil rights it 

strives to protect. Debates centre on the United 

States, but how have the politics of security 

influenced the commitment to freedom in 

other liberal democracies? Addressing security 

certificates to the War in Afghanistan to the 

detainment of Abdullah Almalki, Colleen 

Bell’s wide-ranging analysis demonstrates that 

Canada’s counter-terrorism practices are not a 

departure from liberal governance but rather a 

reconfiguration of its structures with an emphasis 

on security. She traces how the logic and practices 

of security are increasingly coming to define our 

rights and freedoms.

Grassroots liberals 

organizing for Local and national Politics 

Royce Koop 

The Liberal Party has fallen on hard times since 

2006. Once Canada’s governing party and now 

confined to the opposition benches, it struggles to 

renew itself. Drawing on interviews and personal 

observations in cross-country ridings, Royce 

Koop reveals that although the federal Liberal 

Party disassociated itself from its provincial 

cousins to rebuild itself in the mid-twentieth 

century, grassroots Liberals in the constituencies 

are building bridges between the national party 

and the provinces. This insider’s view of party 

politics challenges the idea that Canada has two 

distinct political spheres – the provincial and the 

national – and suggests that national parties can 

overcome the challenges of multi-level politics by 

deepening ties with constituencies.

money, politics, and Democracy 

assessing the impact of Canada’s Party Finance reforms 

Edited by Lisa Young and Harold J. Jansen 

In 2004, Jean Chrétien’s Liberals banned 

corporations and unions from contributing 

financially to political parties. In 2008, opposition 

leaders were prepared to defeat the Conservative 

Party over its proposal to eliminate public 

subsidies to parties. In this book, prominent 

political scientists explore the underlying issues 

that led to the showdown. Are publicly funded 

parties compatible with democracy? What effect 

has party finance reform had on elections and 

on the balance of power between parties and 

donors and between national parties and local 

organizations? Contributors show that campaign 

finance reforms have shaped party organization 

and electoral competition, contributing to 

successive minority governments.

Code politics 

Campaigns and Cultures on the Canadian Prairies 

Jared J. Wesley 

Politics on the Canadian prairies are puzzling. 

The provinces share common roots, but they 

have nurtured three distinct political cultures: 

Alberta is Canada’s bastion of conservatism, 

Saskatchewan its cradle of social democracy, and 

Manitoba its progressive centre. Jared Wesley 

explains this paradox by looking at the rhetoric 

employed by dominant parties to renew their 

provinces’ political code: freedom for Alberta, 

security for Saskatchewan, and moderation 

for Manitoba. Although the content of their 

campaigns differed, leaders from William 

Aberhart to Tommy Douglas to Gary Doer have 

employed distinct codes to ensure their parties’ 

success and shape their provinces’ political 

landscapes.

Citizens Adrift 

the democratic disengagement of Young Canadians 

Paul Howe 

Many political observers, struck by low turnout 

rates among young voters, are pessimistic about 

the future of democracy in Canada and other 

Western nations. Building on these observations, 

Paul Howe examines patterns of participation 

and engagement from both the past and present, 

concluding that young Canadians are, in fact, 

increasingly detached from the political and 

civic life of the country. As Citizens Adrift shows, 

putting young people back on the path towards 

engaged citizenship requires a holistic approach, 

one which acknowledges that democratic 

engagement extends beyond the realm of formal 

politics.

Voting behaviour in Canada 

Edited by Cameron D. Anderson and Laura B. Stephenson 

Can election results be explained, given that 

each ballot reflects the influence of countless 

impressions, decisions, and attachments? 

Leading young scholars of political behaviour 

piece together a comprehensive portrait of 

the modern Canadian voter to reveal the 

challenges of understanding election results. 

By systematically exploring the long-standing 

attachments, short-term influences, and 

proximate factors that influence our behaviour 

in the voting booth, this theoretically grounded 

and methodologically advanced collection sheds 

new light on the choices we make as citizens and 

provides important insights into recent national 

developments.

parity Democracy 

Women’s Political representation in Fifth republic France 

Jocelyne Praud and Sandrine Dauphin 

In 1999 and 2000, France adopted laws to ensure 

equal access to elected office for women and men. 

Parity Democracy explores the evolution and 

influence of France’s gender parity reforms, from 

their historical roots to their recent extension 

beyond the electoral sphere. Drawing on extensive 

interviews, as well as on European and French 

legal documents, Praud and Dauphin show that 

although these reforms have not dramatically 

boosted women’s representation in the National 

Assembly, they have set in motion a process of 

feminization in the electoral sphere that bodes 

well for the future of parity democracy.

Globalizing Citizenship 

Kim Rygiel 

National governments in the global North have 

struggled to govern populations and manage 

cross-border traffic without building new barriers 

to trade. What does citizenship mean in an era of 

heightened tension between global capitalism and 

the nation-state? Building on Foucault’s concept 

of biopolitics and an examination of national 

border and detention policies, Rygiel argues that 

citizenship is becoming a globalizing regime to 

govern mobility. The new regime is deepening 

boundaries based on race, class, and gender, 

and causing Western nations to embrace a more 

technocratic, depoliticized understanding of 

citizenship.

locating Global order 

american Power and Canadian Security after 9/11 

Edited by Bruno Charbonneau and Wayne S. Cox 

Since 9/11, policy-makers and observers have 

questioned whether America should don the 

mantle of empire for the sake of world peace, 

or whether peace will come through world 

government. Locating Global Order questions the 

very idea that the political order is hierarchical, 

with state and international institutions at 

the top and groups and individuals at the 

bottom. Chapters examining various case 

studies on Canada’s role in the construction 

and maintenance of order domestically and 

internationally reveal that the global order post- 

9/11 is not exclusively American – allied powers 

are a key component of its hegemony.

Struggles over autonomy 

Edited by William D. Coleman 

In a world of flux, as old territorial borders 

dissolve and new nations come together, who 

controls ideas, information, and creativity? Who 

patrols the new frontiers? This volume opens 

a window to the dark side of globalization and 

the struggles for autonomy it has generated – 

from forest disputes to Indigenous land claims 

to conflicts between farmers and the patent 

owners of genetically modified seeds. The work of 

Palestinian poets, whose attachment to the land is 

explored in a powerful Coda, shows that a politics 

of place brings to the fore intense feelings of 

attachment, something common to all struggles 

over territory and autonomy.

indigenous peoples and Autonomy 

insights for a Global age 

Edited by Mario Blaser, Ravi de Costa, Deborah McGregor, and William D. Coleman 

The passage of the UN Declaration on the Rights 

of Indigenous Peoples in 2007 focused attention 

on the ways in which Indigenous peoples are 

adapting to the pressures of globalization and 

development. This volume extends the discussion 

by presenting case studies from around the 

world that explore how Indigenous peoples are 

engaging with and challenging globalization and 

Western views of autonomy. Taken together, these 

insightful studies reveal that concepts such as 

globalization and autonomy neither encapsulate 

nor explain Indigenous peoples’ experiences.

Cultural Autonomy 

Frictions and Connections 

Edited by Petra Rethmann, Imre Szeman, and William D. Coleman 

Globalization has challenged concepts such as 

local culture and cultural autonomy. And the 

rampant commodification of cultural products 

has challenged the way we define culture itself. 

Have these developments transformed the 

relationship between culture and autonomy? Have 

traditional notions of cultural autonomy been 

recast? This book showcases the work of scholars 

who employ a broad definition of culture to trace 

how issues of cultural autonomy have played out 

in various arenas, including literary criticism, 

Indigenous societies, the Slow Food movement, 

and skateboarding culture. Although they focus 

on the marginalized issue of autonomy, they 

reveal that globalization has both limited as well 

as created new forms of cultural autonomy.

Geography of british Columbia, Third Edition 

People and Landscapes in transition 

Brett McGillivray 

Why is British Columbia unique within 

Canada? What forces have shaped its landscape 

and its people? To answer these questions, 

Brett McGillivray adopts primarily a thematic 

approach. He begins by giving a regional overview 

and introduction to geographic concepts and 

the physical processes that produced a spectacularly 

diverse landscape. He then tackles different 

themes, tracing the province’s historical geography, 

offering detailed accounts of its economic 

geography, and discussing contemporary issues 

such as urbanization, economic development, and 

resource management. This fully revised edition 

is enhanced by updated figures, maps, and graphs 

and by new discussions of how globalization, 

climate change, and recession are influencing the 

province and its people. 

brETT mcGilliVrAy is professor emeritus in the 

Faculty of Geography at Capilano University,

Corporate social responsibility and the state 

international approaches to Forest Co-regulation 

Jane Lister 

Public concern about worsening global 

environmental and social conditions has led 

to skepticism about the efficacy of voluntary 

corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs, 

and pressure for governmental CSR engagement. 

One of the first studies to investigate the role 

of the state in CSR, this book provides insight 

into the new governance model of private-public 

co-regulation emerging around the globe. 

Examining forest certification in Canada, the US, 

and Sweden, Lister draws on extensive interviews 

with experts to offer unique evidence on CSR 

governance, ultimately arguing the importance of 

CSR as a supplement to rather than a substitute 

for state regulation.

policies for sustainably managing Canada’s Forests 

tenure, Stumpage Fees, and Forest Practices 

Martin K. Luckert, David Haley, and George Hoberg 

Three-quarters of Canada’s forests are under 

provincial control, so provincial forest policies 

are crucial to long-term sustainability. With its 

up-to-date comparative scrutiny of forest policies, 

this book provides forest managers, scholars, and 

students with the information and concepts to 

critically examine Canada’s complex forest tenure 

systems. Looking at tenure, stumpage fees, and 

other forest practices, the authors assess how well 

different provincial schemes achieve the goals 

of sustainable forest management. They identify 

essential policy attributes that could be used to 

guide tenure reform, consider barriers that could 

prevent meaningful change, and offer muchneeded 

practical guidance on overcoming 

these obstacles.

The vast temperate rainforests of coastal British 

Columbia are world-renowned, but much less 

is known about the other rainforest located 500 

kilometres inland along the western slopes of 

the interior mountains. The unique integration 

of continentality and humidity in this region 

favours the development of lush rainforest 

communities that incorporate both coastal and 

boreal elements. In British Columbia’s Inland 

Rainforest, scientists bring together, for the first 

time, a broad spectrum of information about 

this distinctive ecosystem. They also consider 

the ecological consequences of human activities 

in the rainforest and present strategies for its 

management and conservation.

offshore petroleum politics 

regulation and risk in the Scotian Basin 

Peter Clancy 

The extraction of oil and gas from offshore 

continental shelves represents one of the 

most dynamic sectors of global petroleum 

development. It is also one of the most complex. 

Atlantic Canada is no exception and the 

history of Scotian Basin petroleum over the 

past half century reveals a fascinating series 

of political challenges, accommodations, and 

settlements. Peter Clancy’s comprehensive 

analysis of petroleum politics in Nova Scotia 

demonstrates the complex intergovernmental 

and intercorporate relationships, ecological 

concerns, and Aboriginal interests that have 

complicated offshore development. His incisive 

analysis of the complex politics at play provides 

new insights into the unique challenges facing 

the petroleum industry in Atlantic Canada.

Wet prairie 

People, Land, and Water in agricultural manitoba 

Shannon Stunden Bower 

The Canadian prairies are often envisioned 

as dry, windswept fields; however, much of 

southern Manitoba is not arid plain but wet 

prairie, poorly-drained land subject to frequent 

flooding. Shannon Stunden Bower brings to light 

the complexities of surface water management 

in Manitoba, from early artificial drainage 

efforts to late-twentieth-century attempts at 

watershed management. She engages scholarship 

on the state, liberalism, and bioregionalism in 

order to probe the connections between human 

and environmental change in the wet prairie. 

This account of an overlooked aspect of the 

region’s environmental history reveals how the 

biophysical nature of southern Manitoba has been 

an important factor in the formation of Manitoba 

society and the provincial state.

Photography, ecology, and the Wilderness industry of Jasper 

J. Keri Cronin 

National parks occupy a prominent place in the 

Canadian imagination, yet we are only beginning 

to understand how their visual representation 

has shaped and continues to inform our 

perception of ecological issues and the natural 

world. J. Keri Cronin draws on historical and 

modern postcards, advertisements, and other 

images of Jasper National Park to trace how 

various groups and the tourism industry have 

used photography to divorce the park from real 

environmental threats and instead to package it 

as a series of breathtaking vistas and adorablelooking 

animals. Manufacturing National Park 

Nature demonstrates that popular forms of 

picturing nature can have ecological implications 

that extend far beyond the frame of the image.

T h e Aquaculture Controversy in Canada 

activism, Policy, and Contested Science 

Nathan Young and Ralph Matthews 

The farming of aquatic organisms is one of the 

most promising but controversial new industries 

in Canada. The industry has the potential to 

solve food supply problems, but critics believe 

it poses unacceptable threats to human health, 

local communities, and the environment. This 

book is not about the methods and techniques 

of aquaculture, but it is an exploration of 

the controversy itself. The authors present 

the controversy as a multi-layered conflict 

about knowledge, rights, and development. 

Comprehensive and balanced, this book addresses 

one of the most contentious public policy and 

environmental issues facing the world today.

managed Annihilation 

an unnatural History of the newfoundland Cod Collapse 

Dean Bavington 

The Newfoundland and Labrador cod fishery 

was once the most successful commercial ground 

fishery in the world. When it collapsed in 1992, 

many pointed to failures in management such 

as uncontrolled harvesting as likely culprits. 

Managed Annihilation makes the case that the 

idea of natural resource management itself 

was the problem. The collapse occurred when 

the fisheries were state-managed and still, two 

decades later, there is no recovery in sight. 

Although the collapse raised doubts among 

policy-makers about their ability to understand 

and control nature, their ultimate goal of control 

through management has not wavered and has 

been transferred from wild fish to fishermen and 

farmed cod.

birds of ontario: habitat requirements, limiting Factors, and status 

Volume 2: nonpasserines, Shorebirds through Woodpeckers 

Al Sandilands, Illustrations by Ross James 

The volumes in the Birds of Ontario series 

summarize life history requirements of bird 

species that are normally part of the ecology of 

Ontario. The first volume dealt with waterfowl 

through cranes while this volume deals with 

shorebirds through woodpeckers and completes 

the treatment of the nonpasserines. Information 

on habitat, limiting factors, and status are 

dealt with for the three main bird seasons: 

breeding, migration, and winter. It will be an 

essential reference for biologists, planners, 

environmental consultants, and other resource 

professionals involved in environmental issues 

and management pertaining to birds. It will also 

be a valuable reference for serious birders. 

Al sANDilANDs is an environmental 

consultant employed by his own firm, Gray Owl 

Environmental Inc. His formal learning focused 

on fisheries and aquatic entomology but, through 

his long-time interest in birds, he evolved into a 

wildlife biologist. ross JAmEs, an ornithologist 

by profession, has pursued bird illustration for 

more than forty years.

rediscovering Thomas Adams 

rural Planning and development in Canada 

Edited by Wayne Caldwell 

Suburbanization, affordable housing, mass 

transportation, loss of fertile lands – these are 

modern problems, yet they are not new. Thomas 

Adams grappled with these same issues nearly 

a century ago, when he wrote Rural Planning 

and Development, a book that quickly became 

Canada’s planning bible. Reprinted for the first 

time and updated with commentaries by leading 

Canadian planners, this book highlights Adams’ 

influence on the planning profession and the 

continued relevance of his comprehensive vision 

for planning – to move beyond the demands of 

the moment to embrace long-term strategies 

for building stronger rural communities.

perverse Cities 

Hidden Subsidies, Wonky Policy, and urban Sprawl 

Pamela Blais 

Urban sprawl – low-density subdivisions and 

business parks, big box stores and mega-malls 

– has increasingly come to define city growth 

despite decades of planning and policy. In 

Perverse Cities , Pamela Blais argues that flawed 

public policies and mis-pricing create hidden, 

“perverse” subsidies and incentives that promote 

sprawl while discouraging more efficient and 

sustainable urban forms – clearly not what most 

planners and environmentalists have in mind. 

She makes the case for accurate pricing and 

better policy to curb sprawl and shows how this 

can be achieved in practice through a range of 

market-oriented tools that promote efficient, 

sustainable cities.

sex and the revitalized City 

Gender, Condominium development, and urban Citizenship 

Leslie Kern 

When a recent wave of condominium 

development overtook Toronto, women emerged 

as powerful consumers, and reports claimed 

that home ownership was offering young, single 

women freedom, financial independence, and 

personal security. Sex and the Revitalized City 

examines the truth of these claims by exploring 

the phenomenon from the perspective of women 

condo owners and planners and developers. This 

fresh perspective on urban revitalization reveals 

that condo ownership is not freeing women from 

constraints – neoliberal ideologies are remaking 

women’s relationship with the city in the image of 

fast capital and consumer citizenship. Women’s 

emancipation through condominium ownership 

is a marketing ploy rather than a major shift in 

gender relations.

reconstructing kobe 

the Geography of Crisis and opportunity 

David W. Edgington 

The Hanshin Earthquake was the largest disaster 

to affect postwar Japan and one of the most 

destructive postwar natural disasters to strike a 

developed country. Although the media focused 

on the disaster’s immediate effects, the longterm 

reconstruction efforts have gone largely 

unexplored. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, 

David Edgington records the first ten years of 

reconstruction and recovery and asks whether 

planners successfully exploited opportunities 

to make a more sustainable and disaster-proof 

city. This book presents an intricate investigation 

of one of the largest redevelopment projects in 

recent memory.

Transnational yearnings 

tourism, migration, and the diasporic City 

Jenny Burman 

The global pathways that connect cities and 

nations are congested with people, money, and 

cultural transmissions. Transnational Yearnings 

maps a new way to look at modern contact zones 

and the personal interconnections that inform 

them by tracing circuits of migration and leisure 

travel between postcolonial Jamaica and Toronto, 

a city that has become for Jamaican Canadians 

both a place of promise and cultural vitality and 

a site of criminalization and exclusion through 

deportation. Innovative and provocative, this 

book is about the desires, intimacies, and 

power relations that at once inform and reflect 

transnational migration and the diasporization of 

urban space.

Terrain of memory 

a Japanese Canadian memorial Project 

Kirsten Emiko McAllister 

For communities who have been the target of 

political violence, the damaging after-effects 

can haunt what remains of their families, their 

communities, and the societies in which they live. 

Terrain of Memory tells the story of the Japanese 

Canadian elders who built a memorial in New 

Denver, British Columbia, to transform a site of 

political violence into a space for remembrance. 

The book shows how collectively excavating 

painful memories can contribute to building 

relations across social and intergenerational 

divides. Those seeking a deeper understanding 

of the potential of memorial projects in 

transforming the damaging effects of human 

rights abuses should read this compelling account 

of community building and social justice.

speaking for a long Time 

Public Space and Social memory in Vancouver 

Adrienne L. Burk 

In the late 1990s, Vancouver’s Downtown 

Eastside became the setting for three monuments 

– Crab Park Boulder , Marker of Change , and 

Standing with Courage , Strength and Pride . The 

monuments were grassroots initiatives that 

challenged the norms of civic art by claiming a 

place in public space for society’s most vulnerable 

groups, and each figured in debates about many 

kinds of violence. Emphasizing the resilience and 

agency of artists, activists, and residents, this 

vivid account of the creation of memory-scapes 

offers unique insights into the links between 

power, public space, and social memory. It asks us 

to reconsider what constitutes public art that will 

“speak for a long time.”

Communication rights and the right to Communicate in Canada 

Marc Raboy and Jeremy Shtern, with William J. McIver, Laura J. Murray, 

Seán Ó Siochrú, and Leslie Regan Shade 

Canada is at a critical juncture in the evolution of 

its communications policy. Will our information 

and communications technologies continue in 

a market-oriented, neoliberal direction, or will 

they preserve and strengthen broader democratic 

values? Media Divides offers a comprehensive, 

up-to-date audit of communications law and 

policy. Using the concept of communications 

rights as a framework for analysis, leading 

scholars not only reveal the nation’s democratic 

deficits in five key domains – media, access, 

the Internet, privacy, and copyright – they 

also formulate recommendations, including 

the establishment of a Canadian right to 

communicate, for the future.

health inequities in Canada 

intersectional Frameworks and Practices 

Edited by Olena Hankivsky 

Unequal access to health care is a much-studied 

problem in Canada. Yet there is a growing 

sense that proposed remedies overlook the 

multiple forms of oppression that produce health 

inequities. This volume brings together activists, 

scholars, and community-based researchers to 

highlight the potential of intersectionality as a 

research paradigm for the health sciences. By 

applying existing theories of intersectionality 

to concrete cases and drawing on current 

practices and experiences to build new theories of 

intersectionality, the authors reveal how multiple 

variables – race, class, and gender, religion, 

economics, and geography – are influencing 

health and healing in Canada and beyond.

A life in balance? 

reopening the Family-Work debate 

Edited by Catherine Krull and Justyna Sempruch 

Magazine articles, talk shows, and commercials 

advise us that our happiness and well-being 

rest on striking a balance between work and 

family. It goes unsaid, however, that the advice 

is based on an outmoded and unrealistic ideal. 

This provocative volume challenges the notion 

– often offered in support of neoliberal agendas 

– that paid work (employment) and unpaid 

work (caregiving and housework) are separate 

and competing spheres, rather than overlapping 

aspects of a single existence. Alternative 

approaches to integrating work and family must 

be taken into account if we hope to build truly 

equitable family and childcare policies.

Age, Gender, and Work 

Small information technology Firms in the new economy 

Edited by Julie Ann McMullin 

In the new knowledge-based economy, 

information technology (IT) is a major field 

of employment. However, the fast pace of 

technological innovation, globalization, and 

the volatile stock market have made IT an 

increasingly risky business – for some employees 

more than for others. This volume examines how 

women and older workers in small IT companies 

are disproportionately vulnerable to economic 

uncertainty within their industry. Drawing on 

original survey and interview data, the authors 

explore how gender and age affect work and 

workplace culture to produce a fresh contribution 

to the literature on inequality.

panoptic Dreams 

Streetscape Video Surveillance in Canada 

Sean P. Hier 

The number of Canadian cities using video 

surveillance systems to monitor city streets is 

growing. In Panoptic Dreams, Sean Hier explores 

how and why Canadian cities introduced street 

surveillance programs between 1981 and 2005 

and brings to light the governance structures and 

privacy protection policy frameworks that made 

these programs possible. This book uses empirical 

findings to reflect critically on video surveillance 

policy and design structures in Canada. The 

original analyses will assist academics, privacy 

advocates, and others with community-based 

interests to assess the strengths and weaknesses 

of establishing streetscape CCTV surveillance 

monitoring systems.

Critical Criminology in Canada 

new Voices, new directions 

Edited by Aaron Doyle and Dawn Moore 

This book presents the work of a new generation 

of critical criminologists who explore the geographical, 

institutional, and political contexts of 

the discipline in Canada. Breaking away from 

mainstream criminology and law-and-order 

discourses, the authors offer a spectrum of 

theoretical approaches to criminal justice – from 

governmentality to feminist criminology, from 

critical realism to anarchism – and they propose 

novel approaches to topics ranging from genocide 

to white-collar crime. By posing crucial questions 

and attempting to define what criminology should 

be, this book will shape debates about crime, 

policing, and punishment for years to come.

Constructing Crime 

Contemporary Processes of Criminalization 

Edited by Janet Mosher and Joan Brockman 

Constructing Crime examines why particular 

behaviours are defined and enforced as crimes 

and particular individuals are targeted as 

criminals. Contributors interrogate notions 

of crime, processes of criminalization, and 

the deployment of the concept of crime in five 

areas – the enforcement of fraud against welfare 

recipients and physicians, the enforcement of 

laws against Aboriginal harvesting practices, the 

perceptions of disorder in public housing projects, 

and the selective criminalization of gambling. 

These case studies and an afterword by Marie- 

Andrée Bertrand challenge us to consider just 

who is rendered criminal and why.

Transforming law’s Family 

the Legal recognition of Planned Lesbian motherhood 

Fiona Kelly 

In Transforming Law’s Family, Fiona Kelly 

explores the complex issues encountered 

by planned lesbian families as they work to 

define their parental rights, roles, and family 

structures within the tenets of family law. 

While Canada’s courts have made progress in 

recognizing lesbian parenthood, some issues 

that are largely unique to planned lesbian 

families – such as the legal status of known 

sperm donors and non-biological mothers – 

remain undefined. Drawing on interviews with 

lesbian mothers, Fiona Kelly illuminates the 

changing definitions of family and suggests a 

model for law reform that would enable the legal 

recognition of alternative forms of parentage.

Globalization and local Adaptation in international Trade law 

Edited by Pitman B. Potter and Ljiljana Biukovic 

The trade principles of Western liberal 

democracies are at the core of international trade 

law regimes and standards. Are non-Western 

societies adopting international standards, or are 

they adapting them to local norms and cultural 

values? This volume employs the paradigm of 

selective adaptation to explain the reception 

of international trade law in the Pacific Rim. 

Drawing on examples from China, Japan, 

Thailand, and North America, the contributors 

show that formal acceptance of international 

trade standards does not necessarily translate into 

uniform enforcement and acceptance at the local 

level. They offer compelling evidence that nonuniform 

compliance will be a legitimate outcome 

of the globalization of international trade law.

in Defence of principles 

nGo s and Human rights in Canada 

Andrew S. Thompson 

Since 9/11 and the onset of the “war on terror,” 

the principal challenge confronting liberal 

democracies has been to balance freedom with 

security and individual with collective rights. 

This book sheds new light on the evolution of 

human rights norms in liberal democracies by 

charting the activism of four Canadian NGOs on 

issues of refugee rights, hate speech, and the death 

penalty, including their use of difficult, often 

controversial legal cases as platforms to assert 

human rights principles and shape judicial policymaking. 

The struggles of these NGOs reveal not 

only the fragility but also the resilience of ideas 

about rights in liberal democracies.

T h e politics of Acknowledgement 

truth Commissions in uganda and Haiti 

Joanna R. Quinn 

Human rights violations leave deep scars on 

people, societies, and nations. Rights groups 

argue that resolving past violence is necessary 

for a peaceful future. But how can nations 

ensure that instruments of transitional justice 

are the best path to reconciliation? This 

book develops a theoretical framework – a 

framework of acknowledgement – to evaluate 

truth commissions. Analysis of the difficulties 

encountered and the ultimate failure of truth 

commissions in Uganda and Haiti reveals that 

acknowledgement of past violence – by both 

victims and perpetrators – must come before 

goals such as forgiveness and social cohesion if 

reconciliation is to be achieved.

Between Consenting Peoples 

Political Community and the Meaning of Consent 

Edited by Jeremy Webber and Colin M. Macleod 

Consent has long been used to establish the 

legitimacy of society. But when one asks – who 

consented? how? to what type of community? – 

consent becomes very elusive, more myth than 

reality. In Between Consenting Peoples leading 

scholars in legal and political theory examine the 

different ways in which consent has been used to 

justify political communities and the authority 

of law, especially in Indigenous-nonindigenous 

relations. They explore the kind of consent – the 

kind of attachment – that might ground political 

community and establish a fair relationship 

between Indigenous and nonindigenous peoples.

Storied Communities 

Narratives of Contact and Arrival in Constituting Political Community 

Edited by Hester Lessard, Rebecca Johnson, and Jeremy Webber 

Political communities are defined, and often 

contested, through stories. Scholars have 

long recognized that two foundational sets of 

stories – narratives of contact and narratives of 

arrival – helped to define settler societies. Storied 

Communities disrupts the assumption in many 

works that Indigenous and immigrant identities 

fall into two separate streams of analysis. The 

authors juxtapose narratives of contact and 

narratives of arrival as they explore key themes 

such as narrative form, the nature of storytelling

Aboriginal Title and Indigenous Peoples 

Canada, Australia, and New Zealand 

Edited by Louis A. Knafla and Haijo Westra 

Delgamuukw. Mabo. Ngati Apa. Recent cases have 

created a framework for litigating Aboriginal 

title in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. 

The distinguished group of scholars whose work 

is showcased here, however, shows that our 

understanding of where the concept of Aboriginal 

title came from – and where it may be going – can 

also be enhanced by exploring legal developments 

in these former British colonies in a comparative, 

multidisciplinary framework. This path-breaking 

book offers a perspective on Aboriginal title that 

extends beyond national borders to consider 

similar developments in common law countries. 

LOUIS A. KNAFLA is a professor emeritus 

of the Department of History and director of 

socio-legal studies at the University of Calgary. 

HAIJO WESTRA is a professor of Greek and Roman 

studies at the University of Calgary.

Constitutional politics in Canada after the Charter 

Liberalism, Communitarianism, and Systemism 

Patrick James 

Since the Charter of Rights and Freedoms was 

introduced, Canada has experienced more than 

twenty-five years of constitutional politics and 

countless debates about the future of Canada. 

There has, however, been no systematic attempt 

to identify general theories about Canada’s 

constitutional evolution. Patrick James corrects 

this oversight. By adding clarity to familiar 

debates, this succinct assessment of major 

writings on constitutional politics sharpens 

our vision of the past – and the future – of the 

Canadian federation. 

pATriCk JAmEs is a professor of international 

relations and director of the Center for 

International Studies at the University of 

Southern California.

The british Columbia Court of Appeal 

the First Hundred Years 

Christopher Moore 

Courts of law at once reflect and shape the 

society in which they reside and dispense justice. 

To mark the 2010 centenary of the British 

Columbia Court of Appeal, this book presents an 

institutional, jurisprudential, and biographical 

account of the court and its evolving role in the 

province. Richly illustrated and replete with 

group portraits of judges and accounts of key 

cases, this authoritative history explores how 

the court came into being, how it has operated, 

and who its judges have been. In the process, 

it tells the story of how the court has shaped 

– and been shaped by – the social, political, 

and legal development of British Columbia. 

ChrisTophEr moorE is a well-known writer of 

Canadian history and the author of several works 

of legal history. His website can be found at www.
