The Canadian War on Queers National Security as Sexual Regulation Gary Kinsman and Patrizia Gentile

The Canadian War on Queers is destined to be a landmark book in the study of Canadian state security apparatuses and an important contribution to Canadian history and LGBT studies. – Barry Adam, author of The Rise of a Gay and Lesbian Movement From the 1950s to the late 1990s, agents of the state spied on, interrogated, and harassed gays and lesbians in Canada, employing social ideologies and other practices to construct their target – people who deviated from the so-called norm – as threats to society and enemies of the state.

November 2009, 560 pages, 6 x 9" 978-0-7748-1627-4 hc $85.00 Sexuality Studies series

Reconstructed from official security regime documents released through the Access to Information Act and interviews with gays, lesbians, civil servants, and high-ranking officials, The Canadian War on Queers offers a passionate, personalized account of a national security campaign that violated people’s civil rights and freedoms in an attempt to regulate their sexual practices. Gary Kinsman and Patrizia Gentile disclose not only the acts of state repression that

accompanied the Canadian war on queers but also forms of resistance that raise questions about just whose national security was being protected and about national security as an ideological practice. This path-breaking account of how the state used national security to wage war on its own people offers ways of understanding, and resisting, contemporary ideological conflicts such as the “war on terror.” It is required reading for students, scholars, and social activists in lesbian, gay, and queer studies or anyone interested in the issues of national security, state repression, and human rights. Gary Kinsman is the author of The Regulation of Desire and an editor of Sociology for Changing the World. He is a professor in the Sociology Department at Laurentian University, Sudbury. Patrizia Gentile is assistant professor in

the Pauline Jewett Institute of Women’s and Gender Studies at Carleton University.

On the Art of Being Canadian Sherill Grace

It is my contention that Canadian artists, biographers, historians, and creative writers show everyone who will pay attention – will use their eyes and ears to listen to the heartbeat of the country – what it means to be Canadian through their representations of nordicity and war, and through their inventions of national icons. – Sherrill Grace When Vincent Massy wrote On Being Canadian in 1948, he acknowledged the importance of the arts to education and citizenship. He did not consider what the arts can tell us about being Canadian or about being ourselves. In On the Art of Being Canadian, Sherrill Grace traces how painters, writers, and filmmakers have shaped

Canadian identity in three fields of representation that are staples in Canadian culture – the North, iconic national figures, and war. By telling stories in their chosen medium and genre about life here or about events and figures from the past, she shows that artists help us to understand the Canadian landscape and to create a shared history. Sherrill Grace is Professor of English at the University of British Columbia.

The Hero and the Historians

Historiography and the Uses of Jacques Cartier Alan Gordon Canadian historians have long engaged in a passionate debate about the nature and role of collective memory in building national identities. In this important work, Alan Gordon presents a single national hero – Jacques Cartier – to explore how notions about the past are created and recreated throughout generations. The Hero and the Historians shows how the celebrations of Jacques Cartier took on forms connected to the development of historical studies in the nineteenth century and how these forms, in turn, shaped the political and cultural currents of national identities and nation building. The image of Cartier changed gradually over time, reflecting the long-term ideological fluctuations that alter the nature of historical understanding.

Canadian History

Setting this book apart from other works on commemoration and memory is the effort made to integrate divergent views into a single argument. Jacques Cartier represents a point of contact between English- and French-Canadian nationalisms but, as this book reveals, there are profound limitations to the nature of that contact. This book is necessary reading for people interested in the underlying culture of national identity, and national unity, in Canadian history. Alan Gordon is a professor in the History

Becoming Native in a Foreign Land

Sport, Visual Culture, and Identity in Montreal, 1840–85 Gillian Poulter How did British colonists in Victorian Montreal come to think of themselves as ”native Canadian”? This incisive, richly illustrated work reveals that colonists adopted Aboriginal and French Canadian activities – hunting, lacrosse, snowshoeing, and tobogganing – and appropriated them by imposing British ideologies of order, discipline, and fair play. In the process, they constructed national attributes, or visual icons, that were recognized at home and abroad as distinctly ”Canadian.” The new Canadian nationality mimicked indigenous characteristics but, ultimately, rejected indigenous players, and championed the interests of white, middle-class, Protestant males who used their newly acquired identity to dominate the political realm.

Place and Practice in Canadian Nursing History Edited by Jayne Elliott, Meryn Stuart, and Cynthia Toman

The close association between nurses and hospitals obscures the diversity and complexity of nursing work in other contexts. This collection looks at nurses and nursing in a wide range of settings from the mid-1800s to the 1970s, including indigenous women on the Canadian prairies; First World War nurses posted overseas; outpost nurses in rural and remote areas of Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Quebec; public health nurses in Winnipeg; and religious congregations in nursing education in New Brunswick. The contributors use feminist and historical perspectives to illustrate how place, understood as both social context and geographic setting, shaped nursing identities and practices. Many nurses found place both liberating and constraining, often simultaneously. Paying attention to

From Rights to Needs

A History of Family Allowances in Canada, 1929–92 Raymond Blake Social security programs helped to define Canada in the 20th century and, for the generation that came of age during the Cold War, family allowances embodied the new national ideal. But was this program, which gave all mothers a monthly stipend to raise the nation’s babies, driven by a desire to create a kinder, gentler nation or was it more influenced by economics, constitution-making, and international trends in public policy? This book explores the family allowance phenomenon from its debut in 1929 to its demise as a universal program under the Mulroney government in 1992. Although successive federal governments remained committed to its underlying principle of universality, party politics, the bureaucracy, federal-provincial wrangling, and the shifting

priorities of citizens eroded the rights-based approach to social security and replaced it with one based on need. By tracing the evolution of one social security program within a national perspective, this book sheds light on the process by which Canada’s welfare state and social policy has been transformed over the past half century.

In Mixed Company

Taverns and Public Life in Upper Canada Julia Roberts In Mixed Company explores taverns as colonial public space and how men and women of diverse backgrounds – Native and newcomer, privileged and labouring, white and non-white – negotiated a place for themselves within them. The stories that emerge unsettle comfortable certainties about who belonged where in colonial society. Reconstructed from tavern-keepers’ accounts, court records, diaries, travelogues, and letters, In Mixed Company is essential reading for tavern aficionados and anyone interested in the history of gender, race, and culture in Canadian or colonial society. The records of the past tell stories of time spent in mixed company but also of the myriad, unequal ways that colonists found room in taverns and a place in Upper Canadian culture and society.

Childhood, Antimodernism, and Ontario Summer Camps, 1920–55 Sharon Wall Thousands of children attended summer camps in twentieth-century Ontario. Did parents simply want a break, or were broader developments at play? The Nurture of Nature explores the history of summer camps and sheds light on a wider phenomenon: the divided consciousness that informs modern assumptions about nature, technology, and identity. Wall examines how two competing tendencies – antimodern nostalgia and modern sensibilities about the landscape, child rearing, and identity – played out in the camp’s interaction with nature, its class and gendered dimensions, its engagement with emerging ideologies of childhood, and in the politics of race inherent in its "Indian" programming.

Military History

The Politics of Procurement Military Acquisitions in Canada and the Sea King Helicopter Aaron Plamondon

The Politics of Procurement

Military Acquisitions in Canada and the Sea King Helicopter Aaron Plamondon The procurement of military weapons and equipment in Canada has often been controlled by partisan political considerations – not by a clear desire to increase the capability of the military. As a result, Canada has often failed to be effective in the design, production, or even the purchase, of weapons and equipment. The Sea King helicopter is a case in point. The Politics of Procurement outlines the history of failed attempts to replace this helicopter. Officially commissioned in 1975, only to be cancelled (to the tune of $478 million), then recommissioned again, the new helicopters are still years away. This book is the first of its kind to provide a clear description and analysis of the procurement process in Canada. More than a saga about a

The Wartime Letters of George Timmins, 1916–18 Edited by Y.A. Bennett Written with passion and candour, these letters add substantially to our understanding of a soldier's experience of the war. They provide great insight into the views of a married infantryman, as Timmins writes openly about his feelings with respect to his family and the behind-the-lines activities of the common soldier. He also offers a rare glimpse – sometimes poignant, sometimes humorous – into soldier camaraderie and relationships with the French civilian population.

These letters tell the compelling story of a man who, while helping his fellow Canadians make history at Vimy, Lens, Passchendaele, and Amiens, used letters home to remain a presence in the lives of his wife and children, and who drew strength from his family to appreciate life’s simple pleasures. Timmins’s letters offer a rare glimpse into the experiences and relationships, and the quiet heroism of ordinary soldiers on the Western Front.

Captain James Cook first made contact with the area now known as British Columbia in 1778. The colonists who followed soon realized they needed a written history, both to justify their dispossession of Aboriginal peoples and to formulate an identity for a new settler society.

At Home and Abroad

The Canada-US Relationship and Canada’s Place in the World Patrick Lennox For too long, we have conceived of Canada’s relations with the United States at home and its foreign relations abroad as occurring in two distinct spheres: Within the continental sphere, Canada pursues its vital physical and economic security interests; while within the international sphere, it volunteers to do “good” where it can in the world. This dualistic view of Canada’s international relations is deeply flawed. In At Home and Abroad, Patrick Lennox argues that how Canada engages with the world is fundamentally conditioned by how it relates to the US. He develops and tests a theory of CanadaUS political relations and the general pattern of Canada’s external behaviour across a series of case studies, including the Vietnam War, the

The Politics of Linkage looks closely at four major bilateral disputes between the two countries to show that – contrary to some reports – the US did not resort to coercive issue-linkages. The author explains US restraint in relations with Canada, and its shifting bases over time, drawing attention to the unique social and institutional context of Canada-US bargaining.

When the UN established a peacekeeping operation to deal with the crisis, the Canadian

government faced a difficult decision. Should it support the intervention? Offering one of the first detailed accounts of Canadian involvement in a UN peacekeeping mission, Kevin Spooner reveals that Canada’s involvement was not a certainty: the Diefenbaker government had immediate and ongoing reservations about the mission, reservations that challenge cherished notions of Canada’s commitment to the UN and its status as a peacekeeper.

Unsettled Legitimacy

Political Community, Power, and Authority in a Global Era Edited by Steven Bernstein and William D. Coleman New in the Globalization & Autonomy Series Globalization has challenged relationships of rule in local, regional, national, and international settings. This unsettling of legitimacy raises questions. Under what conditions do individuals and communities accept globalized decision making as legitimate? And what political practices do individuals and collectivities under globalization use to exercise autonomy? To answer these questions, the contributors to Unsettled Legitimacy explore the disruptions and reconfigurations of political authority that accompany globalization. Arguing that we live in an era when political legitimacy at multiple scales of authority is under strain, they show that globalization has also

Empires and Autonomy

Moments in the History of Globalization Edited by Stephen M. Streeter, John C. Weaver, William D. Coleman Globalization is one of the most significant developments of our time. But what distinguishes the present era from "golden" periods of empire building in past? Which elements of contemporary globalization and forms of autonomy are particularly novel and which are merely continuations of long-standing historical trends? This book brings together a distinguished group of scholars who explore particular historical moments that involved either the establishment or protection of autonomy. These global encounters inevitably involved friction, and the contributors examine the dialectic between globalization and autonomy at moments that range in time from the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1720 to the meeting between Reagan and Gorbachev in 1986 that led to the end of the Cold War. By examining

Leviathan Undone?

Towards a Political Economy of Scale Edited by Roger Keil and Rianne Mahon Caught in the trap of the nation-state and frozen in postwar bloc logic, critical political economy has been found wanting when it comes to problematizing space and scale. Globalization and the rise of world cities and regions have shaken the discipline’s foundations and fostered new interest in the concept of scale. Leviathan Undone? brings together leading theorists and scholars from a variety of disciplines to develop a new language to understand the spatial restructuring that has accompanied globalization. By treating scale as the core concept of our time, these innovative, ground-breaking essays bring a new sensibility to classicial and contemporary concerns in Canadian and international political economy.

Deliberative Democracy in Practice Edited by David Kahane, Daniel Weinstock, Dominique Leydet, and Melissa Williams

Deliberative democracy is a dominant paradigm in normative political philosophy. Deliberative democrats want politics to be more than a clash of contending interests, and they believe political decisions should emerge from reasoned dialogue among citizens. But can these ideals be realized in complex and unjust societies? In Deliberative Democracy in Practice, leading scholars explore debates in deliberative democratic theory through the lens of four areas of practice: education, constitutions and state boundaries, indigenous-settler relations, and citizen participation and public consultation. This dynamic collection casts new light on the strengths and limitations of deliberative democratic theory, and offers guidance to policy-makers and food for thought for everyone interested in democratic justice.

Women and Parliamentary Representation in Quebec Manon Tremblay Translated by Käthe Roth Women represent a slight majority of Quebec’s population, yet they continue to occupy a minority of seats in its National Assembly and in Canada’s House of Commons and Senate. To explain this situation, Manon Tremblay examines Quebec women’s political engagements from 1791 to the present. She traces the path that led to the vote and elected office and then draws on statistics and interviews with female politicians to paint an in-depth portrait of women’s underrepresentation and its main causes. This innovative account not only documents the significant democratic deficit in Canada’s parliamentary systems, it also outlines strategies to improve women’s access to legislative representation in Canada and elsewhere.

Opening Doors Wider

Women’s Political Engagement in Canada Edited by Sylvia Bashevkin From the days of the fur trade through the contemporary period, women have played important roles in the public life of Canada. Until the 1970s, however, these contributions were generally overlooked. Opening Doors Wider looks at the progress made in the last forty years to raise the profile of women’s involvement in public life. The contributors focus on two questions with reference to community activism, the politics of feminist organizing, parties and elections, and the communications environment in which politicians operate. First, are the doors to participation presently open wider than they were in the past? Second, how can these doors be opened wider, both in terms of real-world participation and our scholarly understanding of public engagement?

Identity/Difference Politics

How Difference Is Produced, and Why It Matters Rita Dhamoon In her innovative critique of political theory debates over multiculturalism and difference in Canada and the United States, Dhamoon develops an ‘account of meaning-making’ that attunes us to the complexities of power as it interfaces with cultural patterns. With new and compelling case studies, she moves us out of the linguistic focus of Kymlicka and Taylor in Canada and the religious/ethnic focus of many American tracts. – Hawley Fogg-Davis, author of The Ethics of Transracial Adoption Identity/Difference Politics offers a nuanced critique of these debates by switching the focus from culture to power. Issues of power are examined through accounts of meaning-making – those processes through which meanings of difference are produced, organized, and regulated.

Political Science

Other forms of identity/difference such as whiteness, ableism, gender, and heteronormativity establish the analytic and normative value of Dhamoon’s alternative theoretical framework, and reveal that an exclusive preoccupation with culture can dissolve into essentialism – which too often provides a rationale for state regulation of groups deemed to be too different.

Language Matters

How Canadian Voluntary Associations Manage French and English Edited by David R. Cameron and Richard Simeon Canada is an officially bilingual country. But how do voluntary associations manage linguistic diversity? In the 1960s, a pioneering study by Vincent Lemieux and John Meisel revealed that associations were paralyzed by internal conflicts over language. Language Matters presents case studies of well-established and newer associations to determine whether this has changed. The contributors examine key turning points in the given association’s history and highlight how its mandate, leadership, and relationship to the federal and provincial governments shaped its response to linguistic diversity. This book provides a deeper understanding of the language dynamic in Canada and offers solutions to groups and governments trying to manage difference.

Big Steel examines the competition and survival strategies of the integrated steel industry from various vantage points: cost structures and technology, export pricing strategies, the economics of trade protection, Paul Krugman’s Nobel Prizewinning explanation of industrial diffusion and trade, and the prospects of cooperating closely with the industry’s biggest customers, the automakers. The industry’s future, Big Steel shows, is cosmopolitan.

World steel production has grown dramatically as countries industrialize and add their own steelproducing capacity. China’s prodigious expansion of steel output increases the industry’s natural vulnerability to oversupply and volatile prices. And the merger of the two largest steelmakers, Arcelor and Mittal, portends consolidation as a

It asks readers to consider pathways to renewal within the union movement as well as at its margins – contributors illustrate that internal dynamics are as important to scrutinize as external ones. In this way, it highlights the importance of history at the same time as mapping the evolution of core debates in two areas of inquiry – equity organizing and union renewal – that, despite their clear relationship, are rarely bridged. – Leah Vosko, author of Managing the Margins: Gender, Citizenship and the International Regulation of Precarious Employment Trade unions in Canada are losing their traditional support base, and membership numbers could sink to US levels unless unions recapture their power.

The first comprehensive review of provincial foreign trade policy in Canada, the book highlights the convergence of debates related to federalism, Canadian foreign policy, and the global political economy as they are played out in the negotiation and implementation of international trade agreements.

A Perilous Imbalance

The Globalization of Canadian Law and Governance Stephen Clarkson and Stepan Wood Canadians have long experience as objects of global forces. Yet they are also agents of globalization, contributing to the emergence of a transnational assemblage of law and governance that is markedly uneven in its attention to – and impacts on – commerce, human welfare, and the environment. A Perilous Imbalance marries political economy with socio-legal analysis to show how law and governance are deployed by various actors to advance globalizing agendas. Its critical interdisciplinary analysis traces the emergence of a global supraconstitution by which transnational corporations and powerful states discipline democratic governance in pursuit of neoconservative economic globalization. This work documents the contradictory transformations of the Canadian

One Woman’s Difference Edited by Kim Brooks Was Bertha Wilson a feminist judge or not? This and other tantalizing questions are explored in this multifaceted collection devoted to the professional journey of an internationally famous 'FW2' (First Woman to...) in the often hostile, masculinist domain of law. The collection enables the reader to acquire an understanding of not only a courageous and compassionate trailblazer and her legacy, but also the organic nature of the nexus between law and social change. – Margaret Thornton, Professor of Law, Australian National University Bertha Wilson’s appointment to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1982 capped off a career of firsts. Wilson was the first woman lawyer and partner at a prominent Toronto law firm and the first woman appointed to the Ontario Court of Appeal. In light of her death in 2007 Wilson's

extraordinary intellect and groundbreaking achievements provoked reflection on her contributions to Canadian society and prompted the question, what difference do women judges make? Justice Bertha Wilson examines Wilson’s career through three distinct frames – foundations, controversy, and reflections – and a wide range of feminist perspectives.

The range of perspectives offered on the vexed relationship between law and religion is one of the strengths of this book. It clearly illustrates the multiple dimensions involved, the lack of easy solutions, and the many defensible positions that one can take. Law and Religious Pluralism in Canada will contribute significantly to the literature and debates on this pressing issue. – Peter Beyer, professor of Religious Studies, University of Ottawa, and author of Religions in Global Society The relationship between law and religion in democracies committed to equal citizenship and religious pluralism has become the subject of significant interest in recent years. Law and Religious Pluralism in Canada seeks to elucidate this complex and often uneasy relationship. The chapters

are written by leading socio-legal scholars who consider the role of religious values in public decision making, government support for religious practices, and the restriction and accommodation by government of minority religious practices. They examine such current issues as the legal recognition of sharia arbitration, the re-definition of civil marriage, and the accommodation of religious practice in the public sphere.

Law and Legal Culture in British Settler Societies Edited by Hamar Foster, Benjamin L. Berger, and A.R.

Exploring themes of legal translation, local understandings, judicial biography, and “law at the boundaries,” they examine the legal cultures of dominions in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to provide a contextual and comparative account of the “incomplete implementation of the British constitution” in these colonies.

Cross-cutting themes include: the impact of colonialism, sedentarization, and forced assimilation; the importance of land for indigenous identity and an ecocentric self; notions of space and place as part of the cultural matrix of identity and experience; and processes of healing and spirituality as sources of resilience.

Braiding Histories

Learning from Aboriginal Peoples’ Experiences and Perspectives Susan Dion This book proposes a new pedagogy for addressing Aboriginal subject material, shifting the focus from an essentializing or "othering" exploration of the attributes of Aboriginal peoples to a focus on historical experiences that inform our understanding of contemporary relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples. Reflecting on the process of writing a series of stories, Dion takes up questions of (re)presenting the lived experiences of Aboriginal people in the service of pedagogy. Investigating what happened when the stories were taken up in history classrooms, she illustrates how our investments in particular identities structure how we hear and what we are "willing to know."

Braiding Histories illuminates the challenges of speaking/listening and writing/reading across cultural boundaries as an Aboriginal person to communicate Aboriginal experience through education. It will be useful to teachers and students of educational and Native studies and will appeal to readers seeking a better understanding of colonialism and Aboriginal--non-Aboriginal relations.

Making Wawa

The Genesis of Chinook Jargon George Lang A two-edged sword of reconciliation and betrayal, Chinook Jargon (aka Wawa) arose at the interface of “Indian” and “White” societies in the Pacific Northwest. Wawa’s sources lie first in the language of the Chinookans who lived along the lower Columbia River, but also with the Nootkans of the outer coast of Vancouver Island. With the arrival of the fur trade, the French of the engagés or voyageurs provided additional vocabulary and a set of viable cultural practices, a key element of which was marital bonding with Indian and métisse women. These women and their children were the first fluent speakers of Wawa. After several decades of contact, ensuing epidemics brought demographic collapse to the Chinookans. Within another decade the region was radically transformed by the Oregon Trail.

Urbanizing Frontiers

Indigenous Peoples and Settlers in 19th-Century Pacific Rim Cities Penelope Edmonds This book makes an original and highly important contribution to the specific historiographies of Canada and Australia, as well as the broader literatures on colonialism, urban development, and race ... Transnational comparative analysis is an increasingly important approach to understanding the past, especially in the study of colonialism and settler-indigenous relations, and to my knowledge no other study with this scope and theoretical bent has been published. – Lisa-Anne Chilton, Department of History, University of Prince Edward Island Frontiers were not confined to the bush, backwoods, or borderlands. Towns and cities at the farthest reaches of empire were crucial to the settler colonial project.

progress. Urbanizing Frontiers explores the lives of Indigenous peoples and settlers in two Pacific Rim cities – Victoria, British Columbia, and Melbourne, Australia. Built on Indigenous lands and overtaken by gold rushes, these cities emerged between 1835 and 1871 in significantly different locations, yet both became cross-cultural and segregated sites of empire. This innovative study traces how these spaces, and the bodies in them, were transformed, sometimes in violent ways, creating new spaces and new polities.

Home Is the Hunter

The James Bay Cree and Their Land Hans M. Carlson The James Bay Cree lived in relative isolation until 1970, when Northern Quebec was swept up in the political and cultural changes of the Quiet Revolution. The ensuing years have brought immense change for the Cree, who now live with the consequences of Quebec’s massive development of hydroelectricity, timber, and mineral resources in the North. Home Is the Hunter presents the historical, environmental, and cultural context from which this recent story grows. Hans Carlson shows how the Cree view their lands as their home, their garden, and their memory of themselves as a people. By investigating the Cree’s relationship with the land and their three hundred years of contact with outsiders, the author illuminates the process of cultural negotiation at the foundation of ongoing political and environmental debates.

What Is Water?

The History of a Modern Abstraction Jamie Linton The book demonstrates, in a clear and concise fashion, the ways in which contemporary social relationships with water have constituted a crisis ... The subject is of fundamental importance and the author’s emphasis on the need to posit environmental concerns within a socio-natural understanding is vital. – Alex Loftus, Department of Geography, University of London We all know what water is and many of us take it for granted. But because it seems so natural, the way we see water is seldom given critical attention. This book provides a much-needed analysis of how we view water, showing that modern understandings have given rise to a global crisis. Jamie Linton argues that modern Western society tends to understand water as a scientific

abstraction – as merely H20 or the substance occurring in the hydrologic cycle. We have lost sight of its essential fecundity and stripped it of its wider environmental, social, and cultural contexts. This removal, or abstraction, has given modern society license to treat water as something that may dammed, diverted, and manipulated with impunity. The water crisis can be averted, Linton concludes, by deliberately reinvesting water with social content.

Environmental Conflict and Democracy in Canada Edited by Laurie E. Adkin

Environmental issues are moving from the margins to the centre of discussion and debate in Canada. This path-breaking collection brings together scholars who argue that the environmental struggles of citizens’ groups, ENGOs, First Nations, and other actors are necessarily also struggles about democracy and citizenship, and that ecological goals cannot be achieved without the democratization of existing norms and institutions. Case studies ranging from the crises of coastal fisheries, to the regulation of genetically modified crops, to opposition to urban sprawl analyze these conflicts from the perspectives of environmental justice, social movement theory, the roles of science, and institutional design. Two chapters offer a critical assessment of green democratic theory.

By grounding theory in empirical study of social actors, political economy, and institutions, Environmental Conflict and Democracy in Canada charts a new course for research in environmental citizenship. It is essential reading for anyone interested in political ecology and the environmental challenges we now face. Laurie E.

Sensing Changes

Technologies, Environments, and the Everyday, 1953–2003 Joy Parr Global environmental change is quickening, its portents unsettling. When the air, land, and water around us are different from what we have known, how will we make sense of the “new normal” or, more probably, a “cascade of new normals”? Joy Parr tackles these questions by looking at local examples from the recent past of people who have had to cope with radical changes in habitats where they lived and worked, and in which they expected to persist. The lives of the people described in her accounts were altered by megaprojects (military training grounds, dams and re-engineered waterways, chemical plants, and nuclear reactors) and by environmental factors (new patterns in animal husbandry practices and seasonal rains). In every case, familiar worlds were lost and transformed so thoroughly that long-time residents no longer knew the place

where they lived and could no longer be confident about where they were, and by implication, who they were. Sensing Changes is a timely and prescient work by one of Canada’s premier historians.

Sins of the Flesh

A History of Ethical Vegetarian Thought Rod Preece In the field of animal studies, Rod Preece is a world-renowned scholar, and this current volume confirms that his reputation is well deserved. – Jodey Castricano, editor of Animal Subjects Unlike previous books on the history of vegetarianism, Sins of the Flesh examines the history of vegetarianism in its ethical dimensions, from the origins of humanity through to the present. Full ethical consideration for animals resulting in the eschewing of flesh arose after the Aristotelian period in Greece and recurred in Ancient Rome, but then mostly disappeared for centuries. Despite the occasional presence of ascetic and cultural vegetarianism, it was not until the turn of the nineteenth century that vegetarian thought was revived and enjoyed some success; it subsequently went into another period of

decline that lasted through much of the twentieth century. The authority-questioning cultural revolution of the 1960s brought a fresh resurgence of vegetarian ethics that continues to the present day. Sins of the Flesh is a groundbreaking history of ethical vegetarianism that will appeal to all readers concerned with human-animal relations and the foundations of animal rights.  Rod Preece is Professor Emeritus at Wilfrid Laurier University.

Urban Planning

Thinking Planning and Urbanism Beth Moore Milroy

When manufacturers and retailers vacate traditional locations, they leave holes in a city’s fabric that signal a shifting urban-industrial terrain. Who should mend these spaces, and how should they approach the problem? Using Toronto’s Dundas Square and surrounding area as a case study, Thinking Planning and Urbanism meticulously reconstructs the redevelopment process to explore the theories and practices used. It traces the labyrinth of competing interests that can sideline and nearly overwhelm the public-planning function. In these circumstances, Moore Milroy concludes, practising planners are marooned by planning theories that begin from the premise that urban space is a social construction and only secondarily a function of technology and aesthetics. This book makes plain the nature

of the gap between the practice of planning and its theories, a gap that inhibits planners from effectively championing creative actions to deal with post-industrial problems. The findings drawn from this case will be widely recognized in redevelopment elsewhere, and thus will be extremely useful to students and practitioners of urban design, public administration, municipal law, and urban and regional planning.

Suburb, Slum, Urban Village

The Transformations of Toronto’s Parkdale Neighbourhood, 1875–2002 Carolyn Whitzman Suburb, Slum, Urban Village examines the relationship between image and reality for one city neighbourhood – Toronto’s Parkdale. Carolyn Whitzman tracks Parkdale’s story across three eras: its early decades as a politically independent suburb of the industrial city; its half-century of ostensible decline toward becoming a slum; and a post-industrial period of transformation into a revitalized urban village. This book also shows how Parkdale’s image influenced planning policy for the neighbourhood. Whitzman demonstrates that image and reality have not always correlated for Parkdale. For example, even while its reputation as a gentrified area grew in the post-sixties era, the overall health and income of the neighbourhood’s residents was in fact decreasing, and the area

attracted media coverage as a “dumping ground” for psychiatric out-patients. Parkdale’s changing image thus stood in stark contrast to its real social conditions. Nevertheless, this image became a self-fulfilling prophecy, as it contributed to increasingly discriminatory planning practices for Parkdale in the late twentieth century.

The New Silk Road Diplomacy

China’s Central Asian Foreign Policy since the Cold War Hasan H. Karrar

Asian Studies

With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, independent states such as Kazakhstan sprang up along China’s western frontier. Suddenly, Beijing was forced to confront internal challenges to its authority at its border as well as international competition for energy and influence in Central Asia.

This multifaceted book offers a fresh perspective on the foreign policy of modern China. It will appeal to experts and students of Central Asian affairs and foreign policy and anyone interested in contemporary China and its relationship with its neighbours.

The New Silk Road Diplomacy traces how China constructed a gradualist approach to Central Asia that promoted multilateral diplomacy. Although China’s priority was to ensure stability in its own Muslim-majority domain, it also worked with Russia and the Central Asian republics to increase confidence and security in the border areas and facilitate commerce. Regional diplomacy has, however, brought China increasingly into competition with the United States, which views Central Asia as vital to its strategic interests.

American Missionaries, Christian Oyatoi, and Japan, 1859–73 Hamish Ion

Japan closed its doors to foreigners for nearly 250 years because its rulers feared political instability would follow the arrival of Christian missionaries. It was not until the upheavals of the mid-nineteenth century that it once again opened its ports to foreign ships and residents. Ion investigates the impact of American Protestant missionaries and Christian laymen, or oyatoi, from their arrival in 1859 to the open propagation of Christianity in 1873. His exploration of their aspirations and efforts in private, mission, and government schools reveals that the transmission of values and beliefs was not a simple matter of acceptance or rejection. Missionaries saw promise in the face of hostility and, as informal agents of the United States, served as cultural mediators between East and West.

This nuanced account of a crucial but neglected aspect of Japanese-American relations will appeal to students and scholars of modern Japan, international relations, and Christian missions. Hamish Ion is a professor of history at Royal

By contrast, the story of Canada’s response to decolonization in the Global South is less well known. Fire and the Full Moon explores CanadianIndonesian relations to determine whether Canada’s postwar foreign policy was guided by an overarching set of principles. By framing Canada’s response to Indonesian independence within a trans-Pacific international context, it shows that Canada was a loyal member of the Western alliance. Meanwhile, its policymakers wanted developing countries to follow Canada’s own non-revolutionary model of decolonization. Larger policy objectives and economic

A History of Early Childhood Education in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand

Education

Larry Prochner

In the early nineteenth century, governments developed kindergartens and infant schools to give children a head start in life. These programs hinged on new visions of childhood that originated in England and Europe, but what happened when they were transported to the colonies? This book unwinds the tangled threads of this history by tracing how Enlightenment thought and Romantic ideas translated into early infant schools in England, kindergartens in Germany and the United States, and free kindergarten systems in the Commonwealth countries. The systems that emerged in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand maintained the integrity of the ideas and models that inspired them but adapted them to suit local ideas, politics, and populations.

Sapphistries

A Global History of Love between Women Leila J. Rupp Every decade or so, a brave thinker makes an attempt to chart the historical maps of women loving women. Rupp’s contribution is perhaps one of the most elegant and interesting – making up for the lapses of the past, Sapphistries sails an international course, giving us a rich mix of historical sources and an even richer gift of asking questions at just the right places. –Joan Nestle, co-editor of GenderQueer From the ancient poet Sappho to tombois in contemporary Indonesia, women throughout history and around the globe have desired, loved, and had sex with other women. In beautiful prose, Sapphistries tells their stories, capturing the multitude of ways that diverse societies have shaped female same-sex sexuality across time and place. Leila J. Rupp reveals how, from the time of the very earliest societies, the possibility

of love between women has been known, even when it is feared, ignored, or denied. Sapphistries combines lyrical narrative with meticulous historical research, providing an eminently readable and uniquely sweeping story of desire, love, and sex between women around the globe from the beginning of time to the present. Leila J. Rupp is professor of feminist studies and associate dean of the division of social sciences at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She is author of many books, including A Desired Past: A Short History of Same-Sex Sexuality in America.

How Canadians Communicate III

Contexts of Canadian Popular Culture Edited by Bart Beaty, Derek Briton, Gloria Filax, and Rebecca Sullivan The contributors to this third volume of How Canadians Communicate focus on the question “what does Canadian popular culture have to say about the construction and negotiation of Canadian national identity?” and show how popular culture is negotiated across the different terrains where a sense of national identity is built, by producers and audiences, government and industry, history and geography, ethnicities, and citizenships. Canada does indeed have a popular culture distinct from other nations, and these contributors are out to prove it, in chapters such as “Log On, Goof Off, and Look Up” and “Cosmopolitans and Hosers.”

Bart Beaty is an associate professor in the Faculty of Communication and Culture at the University of Calgary. Derek Briton is Associate Director of Athabasca University’s Centre for Integrated Studies.

Bomb Canada

History

And Other Unkind Remarks in the American Media Chantal Allan Canada and the United States. Two nations, one border, same continent. Anti-American sentiment in Canada is well documented, but what have Americans had to say about their northern neighbour? Allan examines how the American media has portrayed Canada from Confederation to the Obama inauguration. By examining major events that have tested bilateral relations, Bomb Canada tracks the history of anti-Canadianism in the U.S. Informative, thought provoking and at times hilarious, this first-of-its-kind book reveals another layer of the complex relationship between Canada and the United States.

Education

Ecology & Wonder

The Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site Robert W. Sandford This book makes a couple of remarkable claims. The first is that the greatest cultural achievement in the mountain region of Western Canada may be what has been preserved, not what has been developed. The second is that protecting the spine of the Rocky Mountains will preserve crucial ecological functions. Because the process of ecosystem diminishment and species loss has been slowed, an ecological thermostat has been kept alive, which may well be an important defence against future climate change impacts in the Canadian west.

Robert W. Sandford is the author or editor of some 20 books on the nature, history, and culture of the Canadian west. He is the Canadian Chair of the United Nations International Decade “Water for Life,” an initiative that aims to advance longterm water quality and availability issues in response to climate change in Canada and abroad. He lives in Canmore, Alberta.

Nightwood Theatre

Drama

A Woman’s Work Is Always Done Shelley Scott Nightwood Theatre is by far the longest-running and most influential feminist theatre company in Canada. Since 1979, the company has been a producer of new works by Canadian women, and a provider of opportunities for women theatre artists. It has also been the “home company” for some of the biggest names in Canadian theatre, such as Ann-Marie MacDonald. Scott shows how Nightwood has defined itself as a feminist company: its artistic leadership is based on collaborative models and the plays performed have been chosen for their relevance to the diverse communities of women. She has also traced how Nightwood has been received by the media as well as placed the theatre in an international context by comparing its history to that of like companies in the U.K. and the U.S.

Shelley Scott is an Associate Professor and the

Chair of the Department of Theatre and Dramatic Arts at the University of Lethbridge, where she teaches courses and occasionally directs department productions.

Letters from the Lost

Memoir

A Memoir of Discovery Helen Waldstein Wilkes On March 15, 1939, Helen Waldstein’s father snatched the last exit visa from a distracted clerk to get his wife and child out of Prague. The family left behind could only send letters after the Nazis closed in. Through the war years, letters kept coming to the southern Ontario farm where Helen’s small family learned to speak English, to be Canadian farmers, and to forget they were Jewish. Helen did not notice when the letters stopped coming, but they surfaced intermittently until she couldn’t ignore them anymore. Reading the letters changed everything. As her past refused to keep silent, Helen followed the trail of letters back to Europe to find living witnesses of what the letters related. She has here interwoven their stories and

her own in an engrossing narrative of suffering and rescue, survivor guilt, and overcoming obstacles to intergenerational dialogue about a traumatic past. Since receiving her PhD in French literature, Helen Waldstein Wilkes spent 30 years teach-

ing at every level in the US and Canada. Now retired and living in Vancouver, BC, she is actively examining her own cultural inheritance and its impact. November 2009, 210 pages (est.), 5.5 x 8" b/w photos 978-1-897425-54-3 PB $24.95 Biography • Memoir • Culture Distributed for AU Press

At 16, she lost her job in a Hamilton knitting mill because she got married. During Prohibition, the teen bride made up for lost income by bootlegging her homemade pear liquor. She boosts her earnings further by growing and selling illegal poppy seeds to the ethnic bakery trade. During World War II, when meat is rationed, she sells freshly butchered hogs from the trunk of her car to grateful Italians and Portuguese. For Zarah, anything not forbidden by the Ten Commandments is legitimate. Her memoir has been written in the first person by her son, John.

Views from Fort Battleford Constructed Visions of an Anglo-Canadian West

Indigenous Communities in Western Canada, 1887–1927

Edited by Mohamed Ally

Keith D. Smith This study explores the application of liberalism between 1877 and 1927 in the land which became southern Alberta and the British Columbia interior. In these regions, liberalism acted as an exclusionary force that enabled the use of extraordinary measures to remove Indigenous peoples from their ancestral territories. The expansion of liberalism, diverse and multifaceted in construction but undeniably debilitating in its impact on First Nations people, was facilitated, fashioned, and justified by means of disciplinary surveillance.

Pacific Coast Ship China Jacques Marc

Gone are the days when the grand steamships plied the Pacific coastal waters of North America. At the height of steamship travel in the late 1800s and early 1900s, passengers enjoyed a sitdown dinner served on china with silver flatware. Today, the only places you can still find this china is at flea markets and antique shops or by diving at old dock sites and on shipwrecks. Pacific Coast Ship China identifies and dates shipping china used along the Pacific Coast of North America. It covers china used on vessels and in-shore establishments of shipping organizations registered in Alaska, the Yukon Territory, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho and Hawaii; it describes patterns used in coastal, intercoastal and transpacific services. In addition to passenger vessels, it documents the

Stories of You, Me and BC Gerald Truscott Highlighted by brilliant photographs, the colourful stories of British Columbia’s past leap off the pages of this beautiful book. British Columbia became a colony in 1858, and Free Spirit celebrates 150 years of history with a selection of vignettes about objects from our collective past and the people intimately involved with them. The stories of these objects reveal little-known facts, such as: the first book privately published in BC promoted gold mining on the Fraser River; a spirit guide from beyond the grave helped establish and name the Okanagan town of Naramata; and some of the rarest coins in the world were minted in New Westminster. In these glimpses of the past, Free Spirit captures the essence of British Columbia and the diversity of its people and landscapes The book comes

with a 100-minute DVD collection of seven travelogues, showing areas of the province as they were promoted to tourists in the 1950s and 1960s. These colourful films show BC as it used to be, in the carefree spirit of the mid 20th century. Gerald Truscott was born and raised in British Columbia, and has spent most of his professional life publishing books, editing and writing for the Royal BC Museum. He has written the text for several museum exhibitions, including the Free Spirit exhibition. Previously Announced
