cultural studies 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. JENNy bUrmAN is an assistant professor of communication studies at McGill University. neW in PaPerBacK January 2011 , 224 pages, 6 x 9 " 978-0-7748-1735-6 hC $85.00 978-0-7748-1736-3 pb $29.95 978-0-7748-1737-0 librAry E-book Cultural Studies , Multiculturalism & Transnationalism , Communications, Race & Ethnicity , Sociology cultural studies 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. kirsTEN Emiko mcAllisTEr is an associate professor in the School of Communication at Simon Fraser University. neW in PaPerBacK January 2011 , 312 pages, 6 x 9 " 20 b&w photos, 3 maps 978-0-7748-1771-4 hC $90.00 978-0-7748-1772-1 pb $34.95 978-0-7748-1773-8 librAry E-book Cultural Studies , Social & Cultural Anthropology , Canadian Social History , Asian-Canadian Studies, BC History cultural studies 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.” ADriENNE l. bUrk is a senior lecturer in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Simon Fraser University. neW in PaPerBacK January 2011 , 212 pages, 6 x 9 " 17 b&w images, 3 maps 978-0-7748-1698-4 hC $85.00 978-0-7748-1699-1 pb $29.95 978-0-7748-1700-4 librAry E-book Cultural Studies , Urban Studies & Planning , Canadian History , BC Studies 26 SPRING 2011 | order online @ www.ubcpress.ca
communication socioloGy media Divides 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. mArC rAboy is professor and Beaverbrook Chair in Ethics, Media and Communications in the Department of Art History and Communication Studies at McGill University.

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. olENA hANkiVsky is an associate professor of public policy at Simon Fraser University and co-director of the Institute for Critical Studies in Gender and Health. n e W r e l e a s e May 2011 , 384 pages, 6 x 9 " 978-0-7748-1975-6 hC $90.00 978-0-7748-1977-0 librAry E-book Health Policy , Canadian Public Policy & Administration socioloGy 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.
