Making Native Space 

Colonialism, Resistance, and 

Reserves in British Columbia 

Cole Harris 

This elegantly written and insightful book provides a 

geographical history of the Indian reserve in British 

Columbia. Cole Harris analyzes the impact of 

reserves on Native lives and livelihoods and considers 

how, in light of this, the Native land question 

might begin to be resolved. The account begins in 

the early nineteenth-century British Empire and then 

follows Native land policy – and Native resistance to 

it – in British Columbia from the Douglas treaties in 

the early 1850s to the formal transfer of reserves to 

the Dominion in 1938. 

Making Native Space clarifies and informs the current 

debate on the Native land question. It presents 

the most comprehensive account available of perhaps 

the most critical mapping of space ever 

undertaken in BC – the drawing of the lines that 

separated the tiny plots of land reserved for Native 

people from the rest. 

Geographers, historians, anthropologists, and anybody 

interested in and involved in the politics of 

treaty negotiation in British Columbia should read 

this book. 

Cole Harris is Professor of Geography, University of British 

Columbia, and the author or editor of many books about BC 

and Canada, including The Historical Atlas of Canada, 

Volume 1, for which he was the General Editor, and The 

Resettlement of British Columbia: Essays on Colonialism and 

Geographical Change. (UBC Press)

Aboriginal Autonomy and 

Development in Northern 

Quebec and Labrador 

Edited by Colin H. Scott 

These essays illuminate the process of indigenous 

autonomy and development in northern Quebec and 

Labrador. The contributors address key questions 

such as the definition and redefinition of national territories; 

control of resource bases and maintenance 

of environments upon which northern regional 

economies can depend; renewal and reworking of 

cultural identity; and the healing of community as 

people cope with the damage inflicted by continued 

colonial intrusion into Aboriginal lands and lives.

The Indian Association 

of Alberta 

A History of Political Action 

Laurie Meijer Drees 

The history of indigenous political action in Canada is 

long, hard-fought, and under-told. By the mid-1900s, 

Native peoples across western Canada were actively 

involved in their own political unions in a drive to be 

heard outside their own, often isolated, reserve communities. 

In Alberta, the Indian Association of Alberta (IAA) 

represented the interests of Alberta’s reserve 

communities. Perhaps best known for its role in 

spearheading the protest against the 1969 White 

Paper produced by the Department of Indian Affairs, 

the IAA, founded in 1939, allowed Native peoples 

access to politics at the provincial level. Its rich history 

reveals much about First Nations’ perspectives 

on the place of Indian peoples in Canada before the 

emergence of civil rights movements and large-scale 

federal funding of Native organizations. 

This book, which outlines the significance of treaty 

rights discussions before their constitutional 

entrenchment and documents the political philosophies 

of First Nations leaders in the prairie 

provinces, will be welcomed by those with an interest 

in Native studies, political science, and Canadian 

history. 

Laurie Meijer Drees teaches in the First Nations Studies 

Department at Malaspina University College.

Faith, Food, and Family in 

a Yupik Whaling Community 

Carol Zane Jolles 

Relying on oral history blended with ethnography and 

ethnohistory, Carol Zane Jolles views the contemporary 

Yupik people in terms of the enduring beliefs 

and values that have contributed to the community’s 

survival and adaptability. She draws on extensive 

interviews with villagers, archival records, and scholarly 

studies, as well as her ten years of fieldwork in 

Gambell and the wisdom of Yupik elder advisor, 

Elinor Mikaghaq Oozeva, to demonstrate the central 

importance of three aspects of Yupik life: religious 

beliefs, devotion to a subsistence life way, and family 

and clan ties. 

The history of the Yupik of Gambell is a record of 

family and kin and of the interrelationship between 

those who live there and the spiritual world on which 

they depend. 

Carol Zane Jolles is a research faculty member in the 

Department of Anthropology, University of Washington.

Drawing Back Culture 

The Makah Struggle for 

Repatriation 

Ann M. Tweedie 

Introduction by Janine Bowechop 

Other tribes and museums will find much of value in 

this history and case study, as will those with an 

interest in tribal affairs and material culture. It is both 

a serious and significant work of scholarship and an 

emotionally engaging success story. 

– Janine Bowechop, Executive Director, Makah 

Cultural and Research Center 

The Makah Indians of Washington State – briefly in 

the international spotlight when they resumed their 

ancient whaling traditions in 1999 – have begun a 

process that will eventually lead to the repatriation of 

objects held by museums and federal agencies 

across the US. This book describes the early stages 

of the tribe’s implementation of what some consider 

to be the most important legislation in the history of 

the US: the Native American Graves Protection and 

Repatriation Act. 

Ann Tweedie is a social anthropologist and museum 

consultant in Pleasantville, New York.

Homol’ovi 

An Ancient Hopi 

Settlement Cluster 

E. Charles Adams 

In the thirteenth century, people from the Hopi 

Mesas established a cluster of villages to the south 

along the Little Colorado River, attracted by the 

river’s resources and the region’s ideal conditions for 

growing cotton. By the late 1300s, these Homol’ovi 

villages were the centre of a robust trade in cotton 

and were involved in the beginning of katsina religion 

among Hopi people. 

Charles Adams has directed excavations in five of 

the seven primary Homol’ovi villages and in other 

villages predating them. He concludes that the 

founders of these settlements were Hopis who 

sought to protect their territory from migrating 

groups elsewhere in the Pueblo world. 

E. Charles Adams has directed the Homol’ovi Research 

Program at the Arizona State Museum since 1985.

Western Pueblo Identities 

Regional Interaction, Migration, 

and Transformation 

Andrew I. Duff 

Identifying distinct social groups of the past has 

always challenged archaeologists because understanding 

how people perceived their identity is 

critical to the reconstruction of social organization. 

Material culture has been the standard measure of 

distinction between groups. Andrew Duff argues that 

such an approach is not always appropriate: demographic 

and historical factors may affect the extent 

to which material evidence can define such boundaries. 

Andrew I. Duff is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at 

Washington State University.

Creek Indian Medicine Ways 

The Enduring Power of Mvskoke 

Religion 

David Lewis, Jr. and Ann T. Jordan 

Creek Indian Medicine Ways provides a rare glimpse 

of a living religious tradition and its origins. David 

Lewis, a full-blood Mvskoke and practising medicine 

man, tells about the medicine tradition that has 

shaped his life. He shares his memories about his 

childhood training and initiation as a medicine man, 

reveals part of the sacred story of the origin of 

plants, and identifies some of the plants he uses in 

his cures. He also describes several of the ceremonies 

his teachers taught him, stressing 

throughout the sacredness and importance of 

Mvskoke medicine. 

Ann T. Jordan traces the written accounts of 

Mvskoke religion from the eighteenth century to the 

present in order to contextualize Lewis’s story and 

knowledge. 

David Lewis, Jr. is a medicine man in the Creek Nation in 

Oklahoma. Ann T. Jordan teaches Anthropology at the 

University of North Texas.

Afghanistan’s Endless War 

State Failure, Regional Politics, 

and the Rise of the Taliban 

Larry P. Goodson 

Larry Goodson explains in this concise analysis of 

the Afghan war what has really been happening in 

Afghanistan in the last 20 years, and why the future 

of Afghanistan matters. 

Beginning with the reasons behind Afghanistan’s 

inability to forge a strong state – its myriad cleavages 

along ethnic, religious, social, and geographical 

fault lines – this book examines the devastating 

course of the war itself. More than 2 million Afghans 

died and some 6 million others were dispersed as 

refugees as its result, while the Afghan economy 

was decimated. The Taliban controlled roughly 80 

percent of the country but experienced increasing 

discord along ethnic and political lines within its 

ranks. Goodson reasons that the future of 

Afghanistan is key to the stability and security of this 

increasingly important region of the post-Cold War 

world. 

Larry P. Goodson is Associate Professor of International 

Studies at Bentley College, Waltham, Massachusetts.

Street Protests and 

Fantasy Parks 

Globalization, Culture, 

and the State 

Edited by David R. Cameron and 

Janice Gross Stein 

The speed and intensity of global integration in the 

last two decades have provoked serious debate 

about the human impact of globalization and deep 

concern about the capacity of the state to provide 

social justice. Street Protests and Fantasy Parks 

focuses on two dimensions of globalization: the cultural 

and social realities of global connection and the 

uneasily shifting role of the state. 

While global processes are fusing societies and 

economies more deeply than ever before, the editors 

argue that obituaries for the state are 

premature, if not wholly inappropriate. These essays 

examine a series of compelling case studies – the 

entertainment industry, citizenship, social activism, 

and wired communication – to assess the choices 

states have and the consequences of those choices 

for culture and society. 

Despite the seismic changes that globalization has 

wrought upon governments, the state remains as the 

last, best guardian of its people. This book – of vital 

importance to policy makers, the media, social 

activists, and academics – explains why that is so. 

David R. Cameron is Assistant Chair, Department of 

Political Science, University of Toronto. Janice Gross Stein 

is Director, Munk Centre for International Studies, University 

of Toronto.

Civic Literacy 

How Informed Citizens Make 

Democracy Work 

Henry Milner 

Henry Milner argues in this book that a society’s level 

of civic literacy – the knowledge and capacity of citizens 

to make sense of their political world – offers a 

basis for understanding the civil societies of disparate 

cultures and the effectiveness of their 

democratic institutions. 

Masterfully weaving together philosophical debates 

over citizenship and community with the empirical 

findings of social scientists and his own first-hand 

experience of a variety of cultures, Milner shows that 

a population’s degree of civic literacy is the single 

best predictor of its level of political participation. 

Henry Milner is a political scientist at the Universities of 

Laval, Quebec and Umeå, Sweden.

Driven Apart 

Women’s Employment Equality 

and Child Care in Canadian 

Public Policy 

Annis May Timpson 

Annis May Timpson demonstrates how Canadian 

women’s calls for family-friendly employment policies 

have translated into inaction or inappropriate action 

on the part of successive federal governments. She 

focuses on debates, public inquiries, and policy evolution 

during the Trudeau, Mulroney, and Chrétien 

eras, contextualizing these developments with a discussion 

of the changing patterns of women’s employment 

since the Second World War. Driven Apart 

explains why the federal governments have been 

able to implement equity policies but have failed to 

develop a national system of child care.

University of Sussex.

Canada and the Beijing

Governmental Politics and

Elizabeth Riddell-Dixon 

This book examines how Canada’s policies for the 

Fourth World Conference on Women were formulated: 

a process that involved federal government 

officials, provincial representatives, and non-governmental 

organizations (NGOs) from across Canada. 

Riddell-Dixon relates the findings of her study to two 

broad concerns in Canadian foreign policy making. 

First, she assesses the relative importance of both 

developments in the international arena and of 

domestic pressures in determining foreign policy. 

Second, she considers the effectiveness of government 

efforts to democratize foreign policy.

The Conservative Era in Canadian 

Foreign Policy 

Edited by Nelson Michaud and Kim 

Richard Nossal 

This is the first major scholarly examination of

The collection explores and analyzes the many 

departures from traditional Canadian statecraft that 

took place during this period: free trade with the US, 

a continentalized energy policy, initiatives over the 

environment and the Arctic, the withdrawal of 

Canadian forces from Europe, and the transformation 

of peacekeeping into peacemaking.

Russia’s Far East 

A Region at Risk 

Edited by Judith Thornton and 

Charles Ziegler 

The security environment of Northeast Asia is 

increasingly affected by developments in the Russian 

Far East, including a longstanding economic crisis, 

changes in Russia’s military policies, and the devolution 

of power to regional governments. In this book, 

an interdisciplinary team of specialists from many 

countries assess the relationships among: the economic 

collapse of the region; the post-Cold War role 

of Asia in Russia’s security policy; trends in Russia’s 

centre-regional relations that impact tax collection, 

resource extraction, and other issues; Russia’s ability 

to manage potential areas of conflict like the maintenance 

of the nuclear fleet and illegal migration from 

China; and the shifting balance of power in Asia.

Anatomy of a Conflict 

Identity, Knowledge, and Emotion 


Theresa A. Satterfield 

Anatomy of a Conflict explores the cultural aspects 

of the fierce dispute between activist loggers and 

environmentalists over the fate of Oregon’s temperate 

rain forest. Centred on the practice of old-growth 

logging and the survival of the northern spotted owl, 

the conflict has led to the torching of ranger stations, 

the spiking of trees, logging truck blockades, 

and countless demonstrations and arrests. 

Satterfield shows how the debate about the forest is, 

at its core, a debate about the cultural make-up of 

the Pacific Northwest. To talk about forests is to talk 

about culture, whether the discussion is about scientific 

explanations of conifer forests, activists’ 

grassroots status and their emotional attachment to 

land, or the implications of past people’s land use for 

future forest management. An engaging ethnographic 

study, this book emphasizes the historical roots 

and contemporary emergence of identity movements 

as a means for challenging cultural patterns. It 

makes a significant contribution to culture- and identity-driven 

theories of human action in the context of 

social movements and environmental studies. 

Theresa A. Satterfield is a research scientist with Decision 

Research in Oregon; she also teaches in the Resource 

Management and Environmental Studies graduate program 

at the University of British Columbia.

The Cost of Climate Policy 

Mark Jaccard, John Nyboer, and 

Bryn Sadownik 

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a major environmental 

challenge facing Canada and the world, 

yet we know little about how to do this, what it will 

cost, what it means on a personal, business, and 

community level, and what policy response we 

should expect from our governments. The Cost of 

Climate Policy is a comprehensive look at these 

pressing issues. 

Using the Kyoto commitment as their focal point, the 

authors estimate the costs of greenhouse gas emission 

reduction in Canada. Sectoral and regional 

costs are presented in terms of their impact on energy 

prices, technology options, and lifestyle choices. 

Causes of cost uncertainty, such as rates of technological 

change, are identified and explored. The book 

concludes with concrete proposals for overcoming 

the constraints of environmental policy making and 

the high initial costs of action. 

This book will be of interest to scholars, students, 

policy makers, and environmentalists who are interested 

in the economics and policy options affecting 

climate change.

Resource and Environmental Management, Simon Fraser

At the Edge 

Sustainable Development in the 

21st Century 

Ann Dale 

A rich and evocative call for action at a time when 

new ideas are urgently needed, this book argues that 

it is not too late to take action. Hope lies in sustainable 

development – the fundamental human 

imperative of the twenty-first century – but this can 

only be achieved if there is a new framework for governance 

based on human responsibility and a 

recognition of the interconnectedness of human and 

natural systems. 

A remarkable achievement. [The book] contains a 

sweeping grasp of the literature on both Canadian 

policy and sustainable development.

Driven Wild 

How the Fight against 

Automobiles Launched the 

Modern Wilderness Movement 

Paul S. Sutter 

Foreword by William Cronon 

Driven Wild traces the roots of the modern wilderness 

movement from 1910 through the 1930s. 

Sutter shows how advocacy for wilderness preservation 

was spurred by a fear of what automobiles, 

aggressive road building, and the dramatic increase 

in Americans turning to nature for leisure would do to 

the country’s wild places. 

Sutter argues that the birth of the movement to protect 

wilderness areas reflected a growing belief that 

capitalism, industrialism, urbanism, and mass consumerism 

were eroding both American ecology and 

values. Wilderness stood for something deeply 

sacred that was in danger of being lost, and the 

movement to protect it was about saving not only 

nature, but ourselves as well.

of Georgia.

The Quest to Understand Global

Paul Andrew Mayewski and Frank White 

Foreword by Lynn Margulis 

These amazing frozen records, collected by the

100,000 years of climate history, showing major 

environmental events such as volcanoes and forest 

fires. They also reveal the dramatic influence humans 

have had on the chemistry of the atmosphere and 

climate change through substantial additions of 

greenhouse gases, acid rain, and stratospheric 

ozone depletion. Perhaps most startling is the discovery 

that Earth’s natural climate changes 

dramatically every few thousand years, often within 

the span of a decade. Throughout the book the 

adventure of collecting the “Ice Chronicles” is vividly 

portrayed.

Forestry and the Forest 

Industry in Japan 

Edited by Yoshiya Iwai 

In recent years, Japan, like many other forestdependent 

nations, has been facing difficult times: 

forest self-sufficiency is low; unplanted areas after 

harvesting are increasing; and forest industries and 

companies are losing international competitiveness 

in the global market. 

Such challenges are not unique to Japan but are relevant 

– and all too familiar – to forest industry 

stakeholders around the world. This book, representing 

the work of distinguished Japanese scholars, is 

the first comprehensive English-language overview of 

forestry, forest management, and the forest products 

industry in Japan. Chapters address the 

biological and physical evolution of the forest, forestdependent 

industries, the social impact of changes 

in forest utilization, current trends in the forest 

estate, and the relationship between urban population 

and rural forest land. 

Forestry and the Forest Industry in Japan will be welcomed 

by scholars, students, and policy makers in 

the areas of forest policy, international trade, international 

forestry, and forest products marketing. 

Yoshiya Iwai is Professor in the Division of Forest Science, 

Graduate School of Agriculture, Kyoto University, Japan.

The Halifax Explosion and 

the Royal Canadian Navy 

Inquiry and Intrigue 

John Griffith Armstrong 

Foreword by J.L. Granatstein 

The Halifax Explosion of 1917 is a defining event in 

the Canadian consciousness, yet it has never been 

the subject of a sustained analytical history. 

Astonishingly, government archives that contain firsthand 

accounts of the disaster and chronicle the 

response of national authorities have never been systematically 

consulted – until now. 

This book carefully retraces the events preceding 

the disaster and the role of the military in its aftermath. 

Armstrong’s compelling analysis of the legal 

maneuvers, rhetoric, blunders, public controversy, 

and crisis management that ensued reveals, for the 

first time, the rationale behind the public inquiry findings. 

His disturbing conclusion is that federal 

officials knew of potential dangers in the harbour 

before the explosion, took no corrective action, and 

kept that information from the public. The result was 

the scapegoating of a Halifax naval officer and the 

lasting – and mostly undeserved – vilification of the 

navy. 

This comprehensive and revealing study will be of 

interest to military and naval devotees, those interested 

in disaster response and in political and legal 

affairs, and the general public. 

John Griffith Armstrong is a retired career officer who 

taught history at the Royal Military College of Canada and 

was part of the team at DND’s Directorate of History that 

wrote Volume 3 of The Official History of the RCAF.

Avoiding Armageddon 

Canadian Military Strategy and 

Nuclear Weapons, 1950-63 


The advent of nuclear weapons in the 1940s brought 

enormous changes to doctrines regarding the use of 

force in resolving disputes. American strategists 

have been widely credited with most of these; Canadians, 

most have assumed, did not conduct their 

own strategic analysis. Avoiding Armageddon soundly 

debunks this notion. 

Andrew Richter draws on previously classified government 

records and reveals that Canadian defence 

officials did come to independent strategic understandings 

of the most critical issues of the nuclear 

age. Canadian appreciation of deterrence, arms control, 

and strategic stability differed conceptually from 

the US models. Similarly, Canadian thinking on the 

controversial issues of air defence and the domestic 

acquisition of nuclear weapons was primarily influenced 

by decidedly Canadian interests. 

Avoiding Armageddon is a work with far-reaching 

implications. It illustrates Canada’s considerable latitude 

for independent defence thinking while 

providing key historical information that helps make 

sense of the contemporary Canadian defence 

debate. 

Andrew Richter is Assistant Professor in the Department 

of Political Science, University of Windsor.

Canadian Trade Policy from 

Colonialism to Globalization 

Michael Hart 

Canada has always been a trading nation. From the 

early days of fur and fish, to the present, when a 

remarkable ninety percent of our gross national 

product is attributable to exports and imports, 

Canadians have relied on international trade to bolster 

their economy. A Trading Nation, Michael Hart’s 

brilliantly crafted overview and analysis of the historical 

foundations of modern Canadian trade policy, is 

the first survey to address the history of Canadian 

commercial policy in over fifty years. 

Taking the view that to understand the present and 

better prepare for the future, we must first comprehend 

the past, Hart skilfully guides readers through 

more than three centuries of Canadian trade history. 

His engaging narrative explains how Canadians, who 

currently enjoy one of the highest standards of living 

in the world, have largely come to accept that a 

country that derives much of its wealth from international 

commerce has much to gain from an open, 

well-ordered international economy. Close attention 

to trade and related economic policy choices, he 

argues, is crucial if Canada intends to adapt to the 

challenges of the new globalized economy. 

This bold and original study is a tour de force, evocative 

of Harold Innis’s and Donald Creighton’s 

pioneering works in the history of the nation. Hart’s 

experience as an active trade negotiator is reflected 

throughout this accessible and lively book. A Trading 

Nation is destined to become a classic of Canadian 

historical, economic, and political studies. 

Michael Hart is Simon Reisman Chair in Trade Policy, 

Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, Carleton 

University. A former trade official in Canada’s Department of 

Foreign Affairs and International Trade, he was the founding 

director of Carleton’s Centre for Trade Policy and Law and is 

the author of numerous books and articles on international 

trade issues.

Modern Women Modernizing 

Men 

The Changing Missions of Three 

Professional Women in Asia and 

Africa, 1902-69 


During the interwar era, the world of mainstream 

Protestant missions was in transition. The once-dominant 

paradigm of separate spheres – “women’s work 

for women” – had lost its saliency, and professional 

women often entered work worlds largely peopled by 

men. Medical missionaries Belle Choné Oliver and 

Florence Murray and literature specialist Margaret 

Wrong were three such women. 

Using these women’s experiences in colonial India, 

Korea, and sub-Saharan Africa as case studies, 

Modern Women Modernizing Men explores how professionalism, 

religion, and feminism came together 

to enable missionary women to become the colleagues 

and mentors of Western and non-Western 

men. The “modern” Christian woman missionary, the 

author demonstrates, was in fact more an agent of 

modernization than an angel of domesticity. 

This book – a bold exploration of changing gender, 

professional, and race relations in colonial missionary 

settings – will be of interest to scholars engaged 

in gender, women’s, and postcolonial studies, as well 

as to readers interested in the history of the international 

missionary movement.

MAN’S GOD 

Gender and Race 

in the Canadian 

Mission Field 

This Blessed Wilderness 

Archibald McDonald’s Letters 

from the Columbia, 1822-44 

Edited by Jean Murray Cole 

Archibald McDonald was one of the most important 

fur traders in the region west of the Rockies. He is 

particularly remembered as a factor at Fort Langley, 

Kamloops, and Colvile and as one of the traders who 

enabled the Hudson’s Bay Company to gain control 

of the vast region west of the Rockies. His letters to 

friends, business colleagues, missionaries, botanists, 

and many others provide a fascinating 

narrative of the expansion of the fur trade in the 

Pacific Northwest at a critical time in its history. 

Jean Murray Cole is an independent writer, researcher, 

and historian based in Ontario.

Women and the White 

Man’s God 

Gender and Race in the Canadian 

Mission Field 


Between 1860 and 1940, Anglican missionaries 

were very active in northern British Columbia, Yukon, 

and the Northwest Territories. To date, histories of 

this mission work have largely focused on men, while 

the activities of women – either as missionary wives 

or as missionaries in their own right – have been 

seen as peripheral at best, if not completely overlooked. 

Based on diaries, letters, and mission correspondence, 

Women and the White Man’s God examines 

women’s roles in northern domestic missions. The 

status of women in the Anglican Church, gender relations 

in the mission field, and encounters between 

Aboriginals and missionaries are carefully scrutinized. 

Arguing that the mission encounter challenged 

colonial hierarchies, Rutherdale expands our understanding 

of colonization at the intersection of 

gender, race, and religion. 

This book is a critical addition to scholarship in 

women’s, Canadian, Native, and religious studies, 

and complements a growing body of literature on 

gender and empire in Canada and elsewhere. 

Myra Rutherdale teaches in the Department of History 

at the University of British Columbia.

Couture and Commerce 

The Transatlantic Fashion Trade 

in the 1950s 

Alexandra Palmer 

Couture and Commerce investigates how and why 

1950s couture fashion was important in its own day. 

Alexandra Palmer traces the European couture trade 

with North America by following actual dresses as 

they moved from the design house sketch, through 

the sample dress used in New York and Toronto fashion 

shows and as a template for copies and 

knockoffs, and finally to the consumer. 

In this beautifully researched, considered, and intelligent 

work, Palmer answers innumerable questions 

about the ideal of once omnipotent haute couture 

versus the reality of how it was disseminated and 

what role it played far from Paris catwalks.

All Russia is Burning! 

A Cultural History of Fire and 

Arson in Late Imperial Russia 

Cathy A. Frierson 

Between 1860 and 1904, accidental and arson fire 

destroyed almost three billion rubles worth of property 

and acted as a brake on Russia’s economic 

development. In this book, Frierson explores the history 

of fire and arson in rural European Russia as a 

history of cultural meaning in the late imperial campaign 

for modernity. Her study demonstrates both 

peasant agency in fighting fire and educated 

Russians’ hardening conviction that peasants – particularly 

women peasants – stood in the way of 

Russia’s advent into the company of prosperous, 

rational, civilized nations.

Poverty and Leadership 

in the Later Roman Empire 

Peter Brown 

In three magisterial essays, Peter Brown, one of the 

world’s foremost scholars of the society and culture 

of late antiquity, explores the emergence in late 

Roman society of “the poor” as a distinct social 

class, one for which the Christian church claimed a 

special responsibility. It is the story of how a society 

came to see itself as responsible for the care of a 

particular class of people – a class that had not previously 

been cared for – and of who benefited from 

that shift in interest.

The Roman Republic in 

Political Thought 

Fergus Millar 

Fergus Millar discusses how the Roman Republic 

was understood and used by political thinkers from 

the Ancient World to the present. Describing both 

the reality of the late Roman Republic and showing 

how its nature was distorted even by contemporary 

sources, he tracks its treatment in political discourse 

from Thomas Aquinas, Machiavelli, Montesquieu, and 

Rousseau, and in the debates surrounding the creation 

of the American constitution. 

Throughout the book, Millar reinforces his unconventional 

thesis about the significance of direct 

democracy in the late Roman Republic. In the proccess, 

he also provides an unprecedented tour 

through 2000 years of Western political theory from 

the point of view of the Roman Republic, in general, 

and theories of direct democracy and the balance of 

power, in particular. 

Fergus Millar is Camden Professor of Ancient History at

The Rise of the Nazis 


Conan Fischer 

In this new edition of his book, Conan Fischer takes 

stock of the current debates regarding the rise of 

the Nazis in Germany and concludes that certain 

orthodoxies require rethinking. Beginning with an 

overview of the historical context, he then looks at 

the foreign relations, politics, and society of Weimar, 

particularly the role of the elites, and the anatomy of 

Nazism itself. Since the publication of the first edition, 

important new works have appeared and this 

new scholarship has been incorporated into the text. 

In concise, readable chapters, followed by a documentary 

appendix, this edition provides readers of 

twentienth-century German history an essential updated 

revision of the complex and traumatic issues 

surrounding the rise of Nazism.

Luther’s Lives 

Translated and annotated by 

Elizabeth Vandiver, Ralph Keen, and 

Thomas D. Frazel 

This contemporary account of the life of Martin 

Luther has never before been translated into English. 

Johannes Cochlaeus (1479-1552) was present on 

April 18, 1521 when Luther made his famous declaration 

before Emperor Charles V in Worms. 

Afterward, he sought Luther out and debated with 

him, feeling convinced that Luther was an impious 

and malevolent man. Over the next twenty-five years 

Cochlaeus debated with Melanchthon and the reformers 

of Augsburg. For an eyewitness account of the 

Reformation – and the beginnings of the Catholic 

Counter-Reformation – there is no other historical 

document to match the first-hand experience of 

Cochlaeus. 

After Luther’s death, it was rumoured that demons 

seized the reformer on his death-bed and dragged 

him off to Hell. In response, his friend and colleague, 

Philip Melanchthon published a brief encomium of 

the reformer in 1548. Cochlaeus consequently completed 

and published his monumental life of Luther in 

1549. This volume brings the two documents headto-head 

for the first time.

Married to the Empire 

Gender, Politics and Imperialism 

in India, 1883-1947 

Mary A. Procida 

Using three separate modes of engagement with 

imperialism – domesticity, violence, and race – 

Procida demonstrates the many and varied ways in 

which British women, particularly the wives of imperial 

officials, created a role for themselves in the 

empire. Drawing on memoirs, novels, interviews, and 

government records, she shows how marriage provided 

a role for women in the empire, looks at the 

home as a site for the construction of imperial 

power, analyzes the women’s commitment to violence 

as a means of preserving the empire, and 

discusses the relationship among Indian and British 

men and women. 

A fascinating and fluently written narrative of Anglo- 

India, making a lively and perceptive contribution to 

the burgeoning academic literature on gender and 

empire.

Imperialism and Music 

Britain1876-1953 

Jeffrey Richards 

This is the first book to look at the relationship 

between British imperialism and music. With its 

unique ability to stimulate the emotions and create 

mental images, music was used to dramatize, illustrate, 

and reinforce the components of the ideological 

cluster that constituted British imperialism in 

its heyday: patriotism, monarchism, hero-worship, 

Protestantism, racialism, and chivalry. It was also 

used to emphasize the inclusiveness of Britain by 

stressing the contributions of England, Scotland, 

Wales, and Ireland to the imperial project. 

The authors examine every musical form from high 

culture to popular culture: the symphony, the overture, 

the ode, the hymn, the ballad, the march, the 

film score, and the music hall song.

Looking in detail at the nature of Russian society and 

politics since 1990, Kagarlitsky offers an introductory

economic developments that took place under 

President Yeltsin and the legacy he bequeathed to 

his successor Putin. He focuses on the role of the 

media in post-Soviet Russia, corporate structures 

and their influence on social conflict, the formation 

of the oligarchy, and the role of the left in modern 

Russia.

Gender, National Identity, 

and Prostitution Policy in Thailand 

Leslie Ann Jeffrey 

Prostitution in Thailand has been the subject of 

media sensationalism for decades. Bangkok’s brothels 

have become international icons of “third world” 

women’s exploitation in the global sex trade. 

Recently, however, sex workers have begun to 

demand not pity, but rights as workers in the global 

economy. 

This book explores how Thai national identity in such 

an economy is linked to prostitution and gender. 

Jeffrey asserts that certain images of “The Prostitute” 

have silenced discourses of prostitution as 

work, while fostering the idea of the peasant woman 

as the embodiment of national culture. This idea, 

coupled with a will to shape the modern state 

through the behaviour of middle-class men, has been 

a main concern of Thai prostitution policy. Gender, 

Jeffrey argues, has become the mechanism through 

which states respond to the contradictory pressures 

of globalization and nation-building. 

Sex and Borders is essential reading for those interested 

in gender studies, Southeast Asian studies, 

and the politics of prostitution.

Perspectives on Birthing 

Helen M. Sterk, Carla Hay, Alice Kehoe, 

Krista Radcliffe, and Leona Vande Vusse 

Five authors use multidisciplinary approaches to 

examine verbal birthing narratives. They present a 

variety of perspectives: that of a rhetorician, interested 

in power relations among all people involved in 

the birthing process; a historian, who exposes the 

history of how women’s bodies have been viewed 

and scripted according to the logic of an assembly 

line; a literary scholar, who explores the cultural losses 

caused by women’s silence on what it means to 

give birth; a scholar, who discusses the colonization 

practised on Native American women’s bodies when 

their birthing practices are divorced from their culture; 

and finally, a midwife, who discusses how 

incorporating women as partners rather than 

patients in the birthing process leads to significantly 

better outcomes for women during the birth experience. 

Helen M. Sterk is at Calvin College. The other authors 

are all at Marquette University.

Rethinking Gender 

and Therapy 

The Changing Identities of Women 

Edited by Susannah Izzard and Nicola 

Barden 

This book brings together psychoanalytic theory and 

sociological analysis to explore the interrelationship 

between the inner and outer worlds that impact on a 

woman’s identity. How a woman’s experience is 

depicted and perceived by the society of which she 

is part profoundly affects how she experiences herself. 

This book explores that dynamic by examining 

key life stages such as infancy, adolescence, and old 

age, and key issues such as relationships, work, and 

family.

Masculinities and Culture 

John Beynon 

Masculinities and Culture explores how “masculinities,” 

or ways of “being a man,” are anchored in time 

and place, the products of sociohistorical and cultural 

circumstances. It examines the emergence of a 

masculinity fit for the Empire in the mid-to-late nineteenth 

century, and, by way of contrast, the more 

recent media-driven, commercial new Man, before 

examining some of the media discourses shaping 

masculinities today. 

Beynon considers the formation of particular masculinities 

in specific settings, such as prisons, 

hospitals, and schools, which both define and are 

defined by strongly held concepts of acceptable 

masculine behaviour. This is a comprehensive introduction 

to contemporary debates concerning 

masculinities as gendered constructions.

University of Glamorgan.

Medical Archives and the Female 

Body 

Roberta McGrath 

Through a detailed analysis of visual images of the 

female body, this book examines the relationship 

between human reproduction and cultural representation 

from 1750-1910. With examples drawn from 

medical archives covering engraving, photography, 

radiography, and microscopy, this interdisciplinary 

book employs feminist theory, the history of medicine, 

and philosophy of science, as well as the 

history of photography. It argues that these historical 

images – shocking, erroneous, provocative – are 

crucial in understanding how the subject of human 

generation has now become the corporate and government-funded 

science of reproductive 

biotechnology. 

Roberta McGrath is Associate Lecturer in Photographic 

Theory and Criticism at Napier University, Edinburgh.

Awe for the Tiger, Love for 

the Lamb 

A Chronicle of Sensibility to 

Animals 

Rod Preece 

In our modern world, where human will routinely presides 

over the natural world, it is easy to imagine 

that sensibility to animals has been merely a matter 

of peripheral concern in human history. Rod Preece, 

in this impressively researched volume, demonstrates 

that, on the contrary, respect for animals has 

always been a part of human consciousness. 

Awe for the Tiger, Love for the Lamb brings together 

the most significant statements of sensibility to animals 

in the history of thought. Each chapter begins 

with an introduction that explains the significance of 

the passages, and relates them to each other culturally, 

historically, and philosophically. Myth, religion, 

literature, philosophy, and parliamentary debates are 

all represented in this compendium whose time 

frame stretches from the early days of recorded 

human history to the beginning of the twentieth century. 

This unique book will be welcomed by scholars 

interested in animal studies and the history of ideas, 

as well as those with a concern for animal life. 

Rod Preece is Professor of Political Science at Wilfrid 

Laurier University.

Semiotic Flesh 

Information and the Human Body 

Edited by Phillip Thurtle and 

Robert E. Mitchell 

For much of the twentieth century, an apparently 

solid conceptual wall has allowed us to separate 

information and bodies. Information is what exists 

between elements; bodies are the elements themselves. 

One is abstract and involves signs and 

syntax; the other is corporeal and involves cells and 

organs. In the last few decades there have been 

leaks in this wall – bodies and information no longer 

stay separate from one another and the membranethin 

distinction between semiotics and flesh has 

failed us. 

The essays and responses in this book focus on the 

sites where flesh and information productively intermingle, 

from “LSDNA” to “The Virtual Surgeon” to the 

role of the human body in virtual reality installations. 

Phillip Thurtle is a lecturer in the School of Communications 

and Robert E. Mitchell is a lecturer in the

“The ’Hood Comes First” 

Race, Space, and Place in Rap 

and Hip Hop 

Murray Forman 

“The ’Hood Comes First” looks at the increasingly 

specific emphasis on existing neighbourhoods and 

streets in rap music and hip hop culture as a 

response to the cultural and geographical ghettoization 

of black urban communities. Examining rap 

music, along with hip hop media, including radio, 

music videos, rap press, and the cinematic “Hood” 

genre, Forman analyzes hip hop culture’s varying 

articulations of the terms “ghetto,” “inner-city,” and 

“the “hood,” and how these spaces, both real and 

imaginary, are used to define individual and collective 

identity. Negotiating academic, corporate, and 

“street” discourses, Forman assesses the dynamics 

between race, social space, and youth as crucial elements 

in the expression and practices of hip hop. 

Murray Forman is Assistant Professor of Communication 

Studies at Northeastern University.

Cultures of Popular Music 

Andy Bennett 

This book provides a cultural, social, and historical 

overview of post-war popular music genres, from 

rock ’n’ roll and psychedelic pop, through punk and 

heavy metal, to rap, rave, and techno. Bennett also 

examines the style-based youth cultures to which 

such genres have given rise. Drawing on research in 

sociology, media studies, and cultural studies, he 

considers the cultural significance of post-war popular 

music genres for young audiences in many 

countries with reference to space and place, ethnicity, 

gender, creativity, education, and leisure.

The Reader Revealed 

Compiled and edited by Sabrina 

Alcorn Baron 

Books are such an integral part of our lives that, 

even as we wonder about their future, we easily forget 

how precious they were to early modern 

readers. The close relationship between reader and 

book during the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth 

centuries has left us with evidence not only of the 

habits of individual readers but of the social and intellectual 

worlds they inhabited. 

This book brings to life the early readers of books 

from the Folger Shakespeare Library, from the humble 

and pious to the most assiduous collectors. 

Sabrina Alcorn Baron teaches history at the University of 

Maryland.

Surrealism Against the 

Current 

Tracts and Declarations 

Edited by Michael Richardson and 

Krzysztof Fijalkowski 

This is an essential guide to understanding the 

Surrealist movement. Including a wealth of original 

works, the book traces the movement’s development 

in the words of the Surrealists themselves and offers 

a definitive expression of Surrealism as a collective 

movement. The texts illuminate Surrealism’s philosophical, 

political, and ethical positions and locate 

them in a broader social and cultural context. 

Moreover, they demonstrate how Surrealism, as a 

major cultural phenomenon of the twentieth century, 

raised issues that continue to remain central to current 

debates. 

Michael Richardson lectures at the School of Oriental and 

African Studies, University of London. Krzysztof 

Fijalkowski is at Norwich School of Art and Design and at 

the University of East Anglia.

The Myth of Consumerism 

Conrad Lodziak 

Life in the west is awash with conspicuous consumerism 

– a phenomenon central to discussions 

of identity, postmodernity, and culture as never 

before. Yet critiques of it are largely confined to theory 

that fails to offer alternatives, arguing only that 

con-sumerism is an inescapable imperative and a 

dominant motivation in contemporary life. This book 

challenges these assumptions and argues that allencompassing 

visions of consumerism are useful 

only as an ideology. They are not a realistic representation 

of modern culture and society and can only 

offer a limited understanding of identity. The Myth of 

Consumerism opens up the debate, offering a 

cogent analysis of consumer culture and the role it 

plays in our lives. 

Conrad Lodziak is the author of André Gorz: A Critical 

Introduction.

The Bakhtin Circle 

A Philosophical and Historical 

Introduction 

Craig Brandist 

Mikhail Bakhtin and the group of thinkers known as 

the Bakhtin Circle have had a massive influence on 

contemporary literary and cultural theory. This book 

brings together significant new research on the 

Circle and sets it within a historical and intellectual 

context, emphasizing the importance of the work of 

the Circle as a whole. Craig Brandist offers a new 

look at the significance of Bakhtin’s legacy and 

brings into focus the contribution of others in the 

Circle – including Voloshinov, Medvedev, Pumpianskii, 

and Kagan – whose works have so often 

been obscured, assessing the fundamental role 

they played in shaping Bakhtinian thought. 

Craig Brandist is a lecturer at the Bakhtin Centre and

“Race” Panic and the Memory 

of Migration 

Edited by Meaghan Morris and Brett de 

Bary 

This volume of Traces (a multi-lingual series of cultural 

theory) includes eighteen essays, nine of which 

are available in English for the first time. They 

explore the complex relations between violence, historical 

memory, and the production of “ethnicity” and 

“race.” Some analyze the panicked “othering” that 

has led to violence against Chinese Indonesians and 

to the little-known massacres of Hui Muslims in nineteenth-century 

China and of Cheju Islanders in Korea 

in 1948. Others examine the fraught discourses surrounding 

colonialism, immigration, and nationbuilding 

in Australia, Taiwan, Japan, the United 

States, and Ireland.

Announcing New Series 

PERSONAL 

RELATIONSHIPS 

OF DEPENDENCE 

AND INTERDEPENDENCE 

IN LAW 

Legal Dimensions 

Series 

UBC Press, in association with the 

Law Commission of Canada, is 

pleased to announce a new series 

in legal dimensions. 

Law Commission 

of Canada 

Personal Relationships 

of Dependence and 

Interdependence in the Law 

Law Commission of Canada 

At their simplest level, human relationships are 

about ties between people. These ties, however, 

are anything but simple; rather, they are complex 

interdependencies whose dynamic reciprocity of 

obligations and interests is not always represented 

in our legal thinking. This collection explores the 

intersection of interdependency and the law, and 

contemplates some of the key issues at stake in 

the way the law interprets and addresses human 

relationships. 

Part of a series that questions fundamental concepts 

of law, this book looks critically at the legal concepts 

that have framed these relationships: contract, fiduciary 

duty, the “duty to act fairly,” the impartiality of 

decision makers, and privileged communication. 

Many of these obscure the element of interdependency. 

The authors argue that interdependency is a 

fruitful critical – and human – framework by which to 

re-evaluate some of our traditional legal concepts. 

The book will be of interest to law and society scholars 

and students, as it presents a different critical 

framework through which to analyze traditional 

human relationships. 

A subtle, shaded approach to law and subjectivity. 

It facilitates an analysis capable of recognizing the 

client as not only an active party but also, often, a 

more equal party in legal relations than generally 

supposed in the various literatures. 

– Anne McGillivray, Faculty of Law, 

University of Victoria

federal law reform agency that advises Parliament on how 

to improve and modernize Canada’s laws.

Gender in the Legal Profession 

Fitting or Breaking the Mould 

Joan Brockman 

In this thoughtful analysis of the causes and implications 

of the gendered structure of the legal profession 

in Canada and elsewhere, Brockman concludes 

that, until there is significant change in how women 

are perceived in relation to domestic duties, it is 

unlikely that they will attain equality within the legal 

profession.

Regulating Lives 

Historical Essays on the State, 

Society, the Individual, and the 

Law 

Edited by John McLaren, Robert Menzies, 

and Dorothy Chunn 

This book examines Canadian experiences of social 

control, moral regulation, and governmentality during 

the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. 

Informed by the wealth of theoretical and historical 

writings that have recently emerged on these subjects, 

the contributors explore diverse state, social, 

legal, and human encounters with the regulation of 

lives in British Columbia and Canadian history. Incest 

in the criminal courts, racial-ethnic dimensions of 

alcohol regulation, public health initiatives around 

venereal disease, and the seizure and indoctrination 

of Doukhobor children, among other issues, are 

examined in these nine original essays. 

This collection will interest scholars, researchers, 

practitioners, and students of a wide range of contexts 

including law, history, sociology, criminology, 

women’s studies, Native studies, social work, and 

political science.

Why Universities Aren’t Working 

Tom Pocklington and Allan Tupper 

The Red Cross is studied and criticized. The Royal 

Family is studied and criticized. Churches and hospitals 

are studied and criticized. Canadian universities 

are seldom studied and criticized and are worse off 

for this neglect. This book seeks to repair this damage 

by casting a critical eye on how Canadian 

universities work – or fail to work. 

Arguing that too much emphasis is placed on absurdly 

specialized research and too little on teaching, No 

Place to Learn contends that students seeking higher 

education in Canada are drastically shortchanged. 

In clear, non-technical language, the book 

explains the current structure of the Canadian university 

and outlines several practical reforms that, if 

implemented, would greatly improve it. If you’ve 

never known what deans do, what tenure is, and 

what professors do when they’re not teaching, No 

Place to Learn is a must-read: an eye-opening introduction 

that raises serious questions about the state 

of higher education in this country. 

No Place to Learn adds thought-provoking fuel to the 

incendiary debate about the role of the Canadian university 

today and in the future. 

Tom Pocklington and Allan Tupper are both Professors in 

the Department of Political Science, University of Alberta.

Intellectual Enquiry and the

Second edition 

Tony Becher and Paul L. Trowler 

In the new edition of this classic book, the authors 

map academic knowledge and explore the diverse 

characteristics of those who inhabit and cultivate it. 

They review recent changes in higher education and 

the academic’s role and assess their significance for 

academic cultures. While the first edition focused on 

elite universities and the role of research, this edition 

examines academic cultures in lower status institutions 

internationally and emphasizes issues of 

gender and ethnicity. 

Readily accessible to any member of the academic 

profession, but it also adds significantly to a specialist 

understanding of the internal life of higher 

education.

Popular Culture in Asia 

Edited by Timothy J. Craig 

and Richard King 

Cheap mechanical and satellite transmissions have 

made a predominantly North American culture available 

to a global audience. Does this mean that rock 

’n’ roll, soap opera reruns, and professional wrestling 

will destroy Asian traditions and leave Asian nations 

to produce nothing but imitations of a shallow, hedonistic 

alien culture? Far from it! 

In Global Goes Local, international scholars from a 

variety of disciplinary perspectives examine different 

forms of popular culture in Asia. Covering topics 

from pop music in Korea to TV commercials in 

Malaysia, this collection shows how imported cultural 

forms can be invested with fresh meaning and transformed 

by local artists to result in new forms of 

assertion and resistance that also meet the needs of 

their particular audiences. 

Global Goes Local addresses significant questions 

being considered by scholars of popular culture and 

offers case studies of how culture suffers, survives, 

or prospers in Asian communities in an age of global 

communication.

Scars of War 

The Impact of Warfare on Modern 

China 

Edited by Diana Lary and Stephen 

MacKinnon 

Scars of War looks at the long-term impact of warfare 

on modern China, particularly the social and 

psychological effects on the civilian population. 

Following a powerful introduction by the editors, the 

essays examine in detail the wartime ravages in 

Xuzhou, collaboration during the Japanese occupation 

in Jiading, and the plight of refugees in Wuhan. 

A forceful book … These essays make concrete the 

abstractly evoked “patriotic” sacrifice of millions of 

Chinese people, offering tough history as an antidote 

to the easy oblivion of official memory and underscoring 

the deep human and social scars of war.

Wired to the World,

Telework in Daily Life 

Penny Gurstein 

How does working at home change people’s activity 

patterns, social networks, and their living and working 

spaces? How will it change the way we plan 

houses and communities in the future? In Wired to 

the World, Chained to the Home, Penny Gurstein 

combines a background in planning, sociology of 

work, and feminist theory with quantitative data from 

ten years of original research, including in-depth 

interviews and surveys, to understand the socio-spatial 

impact of home-based work on daily life patterns.

Planning the New Suburbia 

Flexibility by Design 

Avi Friedman 

Avi Friedman looks at the North American suburb 

and responds to the challenge of creating affordable, 

adaptable, and environmentally sustainable neighbourhoods. 

An architect and planner, Friedman 

suggests new methods of design and regulation that 

will enable urban planners to adapt suburban communities 

and homes to the evolving needs resulting 

from changing family size, an aging population, and 

new working conditions.

Repairing the American 

Metropolis 

Common Place Revisited 

Douglas Kelbaugh 

Repairing the American Metropolis is based on 

Kelbaugh’s earlier work, Common Place: Toward 

Neighborhood and Regional Design. It is more timely 

and significant than ever, with new text, charts, and 

images on architecture, sprawl, and New Urbanism, 

a movement that he helped pioneer. 

Written with such exquisite clarity and confidence, it 

is easy to overlook that Douglas Kelbaugh is arguing 

for nothing less than a fundamental reconsideration 

of contemporary American architecture and planning.

A Mathematical Analysis 

Third Edition 

Peter Lambert 

This book provides an up-to-date synthesis of the

The Paris Jigsaw 

Internationalism and the City’s 

Stages 

David Bradby and Maria M. Delgado 

Paris has always exerted a magnetic force on 

artists, both from Europe and countries farther 

afield. This book examines the creation and development 

of communities of actors, directors, designers, 

and playwrights in Paris over the past thirty years. It 

shows how the willingness of the city to welcome 

international influences has enriched its creative life. 

Many of the most important trends and new developments 

in theatre have been the direct result of that 

creative combination of influences from all over the 

world. Incorporating both the views of academic 

experts and a range of practitioners, the authors 

show how this multicultural mix has resulted in the 

creation of new work that has enriched theatre’s 

potential to enlarge our thinking and imagination. 

David Bradby is Professor of Drama and Theatre at Royal 

Holloway, University of London. Maria M. Delgado is

Hollywood, Hype and 

Audiences 

Selling and Watching Popular Film 

in the 1990s 

Thomas Austin 

Hollywood, Hype and Audiences is a fascinating 

multi-dimensional investigation of popular film as a 

commercial, cultural, and social phenomenon. It 

traces the circulation in Britain of three Hollywood 

films – Basic Instinct, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and 

Natural Born Killers – from marketing and critical 

reception to consumption in cinemas and on video. 

It draws on economic and discursive contexts and 

original audience research to trace how meanings, 

pleasures, and uses are derived from popular film. 

This book is both a significant intervention into 

methodological debates in film studies and a timely 

investigation of film culture, focusing on key questions 

about genre, taste, sexual pleasure, and 

screen violence. 

Thomas Austin is Lecturer in Media Studies, University 

of Sussex.

Jean-Jacques Beineix 

Phil Powrie 

With a foreword by Jean-Jacques Beineix 

This is the first book to examine the films of Jean- 

Jacques Beineix, often seen as the best example of 

the 1980s cinéma du look, with cult films such as 

Diva and Betty Blue. The introduction places Beineix 

in the context of the 1980s with the arguments 

focusing on postmodern cinema. Powrie then devotes 

a chapter to each of Beineix’s feature films, 

including the film which marked his return to feature 

film-making after a break of a decade, Mortel 

Transfert (2001). 

Beineix and his films have often been at the centre of 

controversy. This volume explains the controversies 

and analyzes the films for their intrinsic interest. It 

includes a foreword by Jean-Jacques Beineix himself 

and a substantial filmography and bibliography.

Terence Fisher 

Peter Hutchings 

Terence Fisher is best known as the director who

year career he directed fifty films, not just 

horrors but also thrillers, comedies, melodramas, 

and science fiction. This book offers an appreciation 

of all of Fisher’s films, providing a sense of his place 

in British film industry. It also casts a new and interesting 

light on the areas of British cinema within 

which Fisher worked.

British Columbia, the Pacific 

Province: 

Geographical Essays 

Edited by Colin J.B. Wood 

This wide-ranging collection of essays focuses on 

the geography of British Columbia. An overview of 

the province’s geographical regions, demographic 

characteristics, and cultural variety is followed by a 

discussion of the physical environment, including 

natural hazards, climate, vegetation, and water 

resources. 

The central portion addresses the geopolitical history 

of the Pacific Northwest and covers the geopolitics 

of hydroelectric power development, First 

Nation’s land claims, and associated treaty negotiations. 

Attention then shifts to Chinese immigration, 

which has been responsible for creating the 

province’s largest visible minority. 

The final section reviews British Columbia’s spatial 

economy and includes chapters on recreation and 

tourism, land-use planning, mineral development, 

energy, forestry, agriculture, fisheries, and marine 

conservation.

The Battle of the Sexes 

in Science Fiction 

Justine Larbalestier 

This is a lively account of the role of women and feminism 

in the development of American science 

fiction. Beginning in 1926, with the publication of 

Amazing Stories, Larbalestier examines science fiction’s 

engagement with femininity, masculinity, sex, 

and sexuality. She traces the debates over the place 

of women and feminism in science fiction as it 

emerged in stories, letters, and articles in science 

fiction magazines and fanzines. The book ends with 

the story of James Tiptree, Jr. and the eponymous 

Award. Tiptree was a successful SF writer of the 

1970s who was discovered to be a woman. Her 

acceptance by the male-dominated SF publishing 

arena proved that there was no difference in the way 

men and women wrote, only in the way they were 

read. 

Justine Larbalestier is a research fellow in the Department 

of English, University of Sydney.

Cormac McCarthy 

New Directions 

Edited by James D. Lilley 

These essays tackle issues in Cormac McCarthy’s 

writing not previously discussed by critics, such as 

gender and race. Some of the contributors see 

racist attitudes in McCarthy’s views of Mexico, 

whereas others praise his depiction of US-Mexico 

border culture and contact. 

Several of the essays approach McCarthy’s work 

from the perspective of ecocriticism, focusing on his 

representations of the natural world and the relationships 

that his characters forge with their geographical 

environments. By exploring the author’s use of 

and attitudes toward language, other contributors 

examine his complex and innovative storytelling techniques.

Twentieth-century Women 

Novelists and Appropriation 

Julie Sanders 

Much recent fiction by women has appropriated

Shakespearean drama. International in scope, this 

study looks at a number of these fascinating texts, 

including novels by authors from the UK, USA, 

Canada, South Africa, and Australia and set in locations 

covering the globe. In the process, environmental 

theory, the Hollywood and Bollywood film industries, 

detective fiction, children’s literature, and the 

politics of postcolonialism, amongst other topics, 

are examined. Angela Carter’s Wise Children, Marina 

Warner’s Indigo, and Jane Smiley’s A Thousand 

Acres are discussed alongside less familiar works 

including Susan Cooper’s King of Shadows, Leslie 

Forbes’s Bombay Ice, and Kate Atkinson’s Human 

Croquet.

Uncovering the Mind 

Unamuno, the Unknown, and the 

Vicissitudes of Self 

Alison Sinclair 

This revision of the intellectual context of the Spanish 

philosopher and novelist Miguel de Unamuno 

offers a psychoanalytic re-reading of some of his key 

literary works. Sinclair revises our concept of 

Unamuno’s intellectual parameters and highlights his 

consistent openness to burning intellectual and scientific 

issues. In essays on seven major literary 

texts, she performs a different contextualization. 

Differing yet complementary psychoanalytic viewpoints, 

from Freud, Lacan, and Object Relations 

provide the framework for presenting Unamuno’s 

view of the self: primitive, beleaguered yet curious, 

defensive yet exploring, both a part of social relations 

and constructed by them, and simultaneously 

resisting and struggling in the process.

On Spiders, Cyborgs and

The Feminine and the Sublime 

Joanne Zylinska 

An innovative exploration of an important concept 

in cultural debates – the sublime – this book poses 

questions for the sublime of earlier theorists and 

explores the concepts of feminism and its rethinking 

of sexual difference. Inspired by the spider’s work, 

Zylinska weaves her text from a web of seemingly 

heterogeneous discourses in an actual “performance” 

of her argument. The result is a book that 

blurs the boundaries between cultural theory and 

textual practice to produce an ethics of the feminine 

sublime.

Raccoons 

A Natural History 

Samuel I. Zeveloff 

Aptly named arakun by the Algonquian, meaning “he 

who scratches with his hands,” raccoons have four 

times as many sensory receptors in their forepaw 

skin as they do in their hindpaws – a ratio similar to 

that of human hands and feet. 

Raccoons is the only comprehensive and authoritative 

book available on the raccoon. It presents 

detailed information on its evolution, physical characteristics, 

social behaviour, habitats, food habits, 

reproduction, and conservation, as well as its relationship 

with humans and many other topics. The 

section on distribution and subspecies describes the 

raccoon’s current range expansion and the material 

on its cultural significance demonstrates this mammal’s 

unique status in different North American 

cultures. 

Samuel I. Zeveloff is Professor of Zoology at Weber State 

University in Ogden, Utah and author of Mammals of the 

Intermountain West.

The Systematics of 

Lasiopogon 

(Diptera: Asilidae) 

Robert A. Cannings 

The genus Lasiopogon is a widespread group of robber 

flies (Diptera: Asilidae) inhabiting the north 

temperate parts of the Earth. This is the first examination 

of the genus as a complete entity, clearly 

defining intrageneric relationships. Special attention 

is paid to the male and female genitalia, important 

structures in the taxonomy of the genus. 

There are 118 known species of Lasiopogon – half 

of these are yet to be described. Robert Cannings 

gives a cladistic overview of some defined species 

groups and provides a detailed taxonomic and phylogenetic 

analysis of the 7 species groups and 29 

species in the opaculus section. He describes 14 

new species and redescribes the others. He also 

offers a biogeographic hypothesis of the history of 

Lasiopogon, suggesting that the genus may have 

originated in Laurasia as early as the late Jurassic 

period. 

Robert A. Cannings is Curator of Entomology at the Royal 

British Columbia Museum. He has studied insects for 30 

years and is the author of many technical and popular publications 

on them.

World 

Maureen Baker 

This book identifies the ways in which family and personal

Veblen and Modern America 

Revolutionary Iconoclast 

Michael Spindler 

Thorstein Veblen is a key figure in American intellectual 

history and his work is frequently compared with 

that of Marx, Durkheim, and Weber for its breadth 

and insight. 

This study sets Veblen’s work in its social and intellectual 

context, delineating its main concepts and 

tensions and re-establishing the extent of his influence. 

Spindler evaluates the usefulness and the 

limitations of Veblen’s views for an understanding of 

American culture by considering Veblen not just as 

an economist or a sociologist but as a seminal analyst 

and critic of modern American culture, whose 

influence and importance have been underplayed 

and whose radicalism has been blunted by postwar 

commentators. 

Michael Spindler teaches American Studies at De Montfort 

University.

Raiding the Gene Pool 

The Social Construction of Mixed 

Race 

Jill Olumide 

As mixed race groups across the world call for the 

right of self-definition, this book argues that it is 

through understanding the plurality of the category 

of mixed race that we are best able to transcend the 

idea of “race” and challenge the racial axes of social 

division.
