aBoriGinal studies 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.” ChArloTTE CoTÉ is an associate professor of American Indian studies at the University of Washington. recently released August 2010 , 328 pages, 6 x 10 " 22 b&w illustrations, 3 maps 978-0-7748-2053-0 pb $24.95 Aboriginal Studies , Aboriginal Politics & Policy , Environmental History Canadian Rights Only aBoriGinal studies 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. mArThA EliZAbETh WAlls teaches Canadian, Atlantic Canadian, and First Nations history. neW in PaPerBacK January 2011 , 216 pages, 6 x 9 " 9 b&w photos, 16 tables, 1 map 978-0-7748-1789-9 hC $85.00 978-0-7748-1790-5 pb $29.95 978-0-7748-1791-2 librAry E-book Aboriginal Studies , Canadian History , Aboriginal Politics & Policy , Atlantic Provinces , Political Science Gender Political & sexuality science studies 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. pATriCE CorriVEAU is an associate professor in the Department of Criminology at the University of Ottawa. kÄThE roTh has been a literary translator, working mainly in historical nonfiction, for more than twenty years. neW release February 2011 , 224 pages, 6 x 9 " 7 tables, 1 map 978-0-7748-1720-2 hC $ 85.00 978-0-7748-1722-6 librAry E-book Gender & Sexuality Studies , Socio-legal Studies , Queer Studies , Criminology , Social Movements SeXuaLitY StudieS SerieS 4 SPRING 2011 | order online @ www.ubcpress.ca
Gender & sexuality studies 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. neW in PaPerBacK January 2011 , 328 pages, 6 x 9 " 5 b&w illustrations 978-0-7748-1738-7 hC $85.00 978-0-7748-1739-4 pb $32.95 978-0-7748-1740-0 librAry E-book Gender & Sexuality Studies , Women’s Studies , Queer Studies , Canadian History SeXuaLitY StudieS SerieS Gender studies 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. pAsCAlE DUFoUr is an associate professor of political science at the University of 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. bETTiNA brADbUry teaches women’s studies and history at York University. neW release May 2011 , 496 pages, 6 x 9 " 2 maps, 38 figures, 18 graphs, 4 tables 978-0-7748-1951-0 hC $95.00 978-0-7748-1953-4 librAry E-book Canadian Social History , Canadian Legal History , Women’s Studies , Quebec History order online @ www.ubcpress.ca | SPRING 2011 5
