g e n e r a l i n t e r e s t Warming up to the Cold War Canada and the United States’ Coalition of the Willing, from Hiroshima to Korea Robert Teigrob When U.S. President Harry Truman asked his allies for military support in the Korean War, Canada’s government, led by Prime Minister Louis St-Laurent, was reluctant. St-Laurent’s government was forced to change its position however, when the Canadian populace, conditioned to significant degrees by the powerful influence of American media and culture, demanded a more vigorous response. Warming up to the Cold War shows how American cultural influence overtook waning Canadian nationalism. Comparing Canadian and American responses to events such as the atomic bomb, the Gouzenko Affair, the creation of NATO, and the Korean War, Robert Teigrob traces the role that culture and public opinion played in shaping responses to international affairs. With penetrating political and cultural insight, he examines the Cold War consensus between the two countries to reveal the ways that Canada cited ‘homegrown’ rationales to justify its increasing subservience to American strategy and posturing. Full of fascinating insights, Warming up the Cold War is essential reading for anyone interested in the Cold War, the role of culture in politics, and the history of U.S./Canada relations. Robert Teigrob is an assistant professor in the Department of History at Ryerson University. An Independent Foreign Policy for Canada? Challenges and Choices for the Future Edited by Brian Bow and Patrick Lennox In 1968, with the United States increasingly involved in Vietnam, questions were raised in Canada about America’s international leadership and about Canada’s own foreign policy goals. Forty years later, faced with seemingly intractable wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Canada must ask similar questions: could Canada pursue a genuinely independent foreign policy? Does Canada have the capacity and the political will to chart its own course in the world? This collection by a new generation of specialists considers the question of Canada’s foreign policy independence in historical and theoretical perspective, with attention to issues including defense and security, Arctic sovereignty, trade, culture, and environmental policy. The accessible and insightful contributions to An Independent Foreign Policy for Canada? represent a provocative and long-overdue reassessment of Canada’s foreign policy challenges and choices in the twenty-first century. Brian Bow is an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at Dalhousie University. Patrick Lennox is a postdoctoral fellow in the Centre for Military and Strategic Studies at the University of Calgary. canadian history Approx. 312 pp / 6 x 9 / April 2009 12 halftones Cloth ISBN 978-0-8020-9923-5 £35.00 $55.00 E Paper ISBN 978-0-8020-9615-9 £15.00 $24.95 C political science Approx. 240 pp / 6 x 9 / Available Cloth ISBN 978-0-8020-9690-6 £35.00 $55.00 E Paper ISBN 978-0-8020-9634-0 £15.00 $24.95 C 6
g e n e r a l i n t e r e s t Compact, Contract, Covenant Aboriginal Treaty-Making in Canada J.R. Miller Columbia Treaty Process, Miller emphasizes both Native and non-Native motivations in negotiating, the impact of treaties on the peoples involved, and the lessons that are relevant to Native-newcomer relations today. Accessible and informative, Compact, Contract, Covenant is a much-needed history of the evolution of treaty-making and will be required reading for decades to come. J.R. Miller is a professor and Canada Research Chair in the Department of History at the University of Saskatchewan. ‘Compact, Contract, Covenant is the first successful comprehensive analysis of the treaty-making process and its rationale in Canada. While many regionally focused works of this nature exist, they do not possess the same transnational, expressly historic focus as does this book. It is presented exceptionally well and is easy to read and understand.’ Anthony Gulig, Department of History, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater One of Canada’s longest unresolved issues is the historical and present-day failure of the country’s governments to recognize treaties made between Aboriginal peoples and the Crown. Compact, Contract, Covenant is renowned historian of Nativenewcomer relations J.R. Miller’s exploration and explanation of more than four centuries of treatingmaking. The first historical account of treaty-making in Canada, Miller untangles the complicated threads of treaties, pacts, and arrangements with the Hudson’s Bay Company and the Crown, as well as modern treaties to provide a remarkably clear and comprehensive overview of this little-understood and vitally important relationship.
