The Canadian War on Queers

National Security as Sexual Regulation

Sexuality Studies series
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.
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

Canadian History On the Art of Being Canadian
Sherill Grace

It is my contention that Canadian artists, biogra-
phers, historians, and creative writers show every-
one 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.

Canadian History 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 re-
created 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 build-
ing. The image of Cartier changed gradually
over time, reflecting the long-term ideological
fluctuations that alter the nature of historical
understanding.
Setting this book apart from other works on com-
memoration 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 national-
isms 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.

Department at the University of Guelph.

Canadian 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 appropri-
ated 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.
Becoming Native in a Foreign Land demonstrates
that English Canadian identity was not formed
solely by emulating what was British, it gained
enormous ground by usurping what was indigen-
ous in the fertile landscape of a foreign land. This
book will appeal to scholars and enthusiasts of
Canadian history, identity, and culture.
Gillian Poulter is an associate professor of
Canadian history at Acadia University.

Canadian History 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 allow-
ances 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-mak-
ing, and international trends in public policy? This
book explores the family allowance phenomenon
from its debut in 1929 to its demise as a univer-
sal 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 ap-
proach to social security and replaced it with one
based on need. By tracing the evolution of one
social security program within a national perspec-
tive, this book sheds light on the process by which
Canada’s welfare state and social policy has been
transformed over the past half century.

Canadian History The Nurture of Nature

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, tech-
nology, 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 engage-
ment with emerging ideologies of childhood,
and in the politics of race inherent in its "Indian"
programming.
The Nurture of Nature offers a nuanced discus-
sion of the summer camp’s contribution to
modern social life that will appeal to students
and practitioners of the history of childhood, the
natural environment, and recreation or anyone
who has been packed off to camp and wants to
explore why.

Canadian History Canada’s Voice

The Public Life of John Wendell Holmes
Adam Chapnick

John W. Holmes had more impact on the thinking
of careful observers of Canada's foreign policy
than any other Canadian "scholar-diplomat." Adam
Chapnick's balanced, thoughtful, and highly read-
able account of his "public life" tells us why. It is
essential reading for anyone with an interest in
Canada's post-1945 diplomatic practice and how
it came to be interpreted by government officials
and independent observers alike.
– Dennis Stairs, Professor Emeritus of Political
Science, Dalhousie University
It is hard to imagine a person who embodied
the ideals of postwar Canadian foreign policy
more than John Wendell Holmes. Holmes
joined the foreign service in 1943, headed the
Canadian Institute of International Affairs from
1960 to 1973, and, as a professor of international
relations, mentored a generation of students and
scholars. This book is the first comprehensive
biography of a diplomat and public intellec-
tual who influenced not only how scholars and
statespeople abroad viewed Canada but also how
Canadians saw themselves on the world stage.
Canada’s Voice offers an engrossing look at how
one man shaped foreign policy during Canada’s
golden age as a middle power.
Adam Chapnick is the deputy director of educa-
tion at the Canadian Forces College and an as-
sistant professor of defence studies at the Royal

Military History Crisis of Conscience

Conscientious Objection in Canada during the First World War
Amy J. Shaw

This book is essential reading for anyone who
wants a greater understanding of not only con-
scientious objection but of the entire Canadian
experience during the First World War. It is an
original and balanced examination of a conten-
tious issue and an important contribution to an
often neglected area of scholarship.
– Thomas P. Socknat, co-editor of Challenge to
Mars: Essays on Pacifism from 1918 to 1945
The First World War’s appalling death toll and the
need for a sense of equality of sacrifice on the
home front led to Canada’s first experience of
overseas conscription. While historians have fo-
cused on resistance to enforced military service
in Quebec, this has obscured the important role
of those who saw military service as incompat-
ible with their religious or ethical beliefs. Crisis
of Conscience is the first and only book about
the Canadian pacifists who refused to fight in
the Great War. The experience of these con-
scientious objectors offers insight into evolving
attitudes about the rights and responsibilities of
citizenship during a key period of Canadian nation
building.

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 sol-
dier'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 relation-
ships with the French civilian population.
– Margaret Conrad, author of History of the
Canadian Peoples, 5th ed.
Between 1916 and 1918, Lance-Corporal George
Timmins, a British-born soldier who served in the
Canadian Expeditionary Force, wrote faithfully to
his wife and children. Sixty-three letters and four
fragments survived.
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.

Political Science The Politics of Linkage

Power, Interdependence, and Ideas in Canada-US Relations
Brian Bow

Recent tensions over the war in Iraq and bal-
listic missile defence triggered alarm in Canada
about whether or not the United States might be
prepared to make coercive linkages between is-
sues to force changes to Canadian policies. And
subsequent proposals for closer collaboration
have raised questions about whether Canada
is compelled to get closer to the US in order to
avoid being trampled by it.
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.
This book sheds light on one of the fundamental
controversies in Canada-US relations, with im-
portant implications for every aspect of Canadian
foreign and domestic policies. It is essential
reading not only for students and practitioners
of Canada-US relations, but also for anyone
interested in Canadian politics, American foreign
policy, or international diplomacy.

Political Science The OECD and Transnational Governance
Edited by Rianne Mahon and Stephen McBride
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development is a much cited but little studied
institution, and its role in international governance
is poorly understood. Nevertheless, the OECD
plays an important role in the emerging structure
of global governance. Focusing upon the OECD’s
core functions, contributors to this volume trace
the OECD’s history, structure, and role in inter-
national governance as well as its function as a
“policy ideas generator” and purveyor of “best
practices” in a variety of economic and social
policy domains.
Political Science Pearson’s Peacekeepers
Canada and the United Nations Emergency Force, 1956–67
Michael K. Carroll
Foreword by Robert Bothwell
Pearson’s Peacekeepers brilliantly sums up the
significance of the UNEF experience, which was
both a failure and a wonderful achievement. Carroll
shows that, although a so-called classic example
of peacekeeping, UNEF has far more relevance to
current Canadian operations in response to inter-
national crises than is generally thought.

Canadian Armed Forces

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 set-
tings. This unsettling of legitimacy raises ques-
tions. Under what conditions do individuals and
communities accept globalized decision making
as legitimate? And what political practices do in-
dividuals and collectivities under globalization use
to exercise autonomy? To answer these ques-
tions, 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
created demands for regulation, security, and the
protection of rights and expressions of individual
and collective autonomy.

Political Science 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 de-
velopments of our time. But what distinguishes
the present era from "golden" periods of empire
building in past? Which elements of contem-
porary globalization and forms of autonomy are
particularly novel and which are merely continua-
tions of long-standing historical trends?
This book brings together a distinguished group
of scholars who explore particular historical mo-
ments 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
uniquely telling moments in the history of global-
ization and autonomy, this innovative collection
provides insights into changes that are overtaking
the contemporary world.

Political Economy 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 prob-
lematizing 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.

Edited by David Kahane, Daniel Weinstock, Dominique Leydet, and Melissa Williams

Deliberative democracy is a dominant paradigm David Kahane is an associate professor and

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, con-
stitutions and state boundaries, indigenous-set-
tler relations, and citizen participation and public
consultation. This dynamic collection casts new
light on the strengths and limitations of delibera-
tive democratic theory, and offers guidance to
policy-makers and food for thought for everyone
interested in democratic justice.

Women represent a slight majority of Quebec’s Manon Tremblay is a professor of political

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 under-
representation and its main causes. This innova-
tive 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

Political Science Opening Doors Wider

Women’s Political Engagement in Canada
Edited by Sylvia Bashevkin

From the days of the fur trade through the con-
temporary 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 politi-
cians 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?
These tightly argued essays shed new light on
the quality of public involvement of women in
one of the world’s most stable democracies.
The nuanced discussion of solutions as well as
problems makes it an indispensable resource for
students and practitioners of politics at all levels.

Political Science 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 com-
plexities of power as it interfaces with cultural pat-
terns. 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 dif-
ference are produced, organized, and regulated.
Other forms of identity/difference such as
whiteness, ableism, gender, and heteronormativ-
ity 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.

Philosophy and Political Science at the University

Political Science Unions, Equity, and the Path to Renewal

Edited by Janice R. Foley and Patricia L. Baker

This is an important book on a timely topic. 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 organiz-
ing 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. Unions, Equity, and the Path to Renewal
brings together a distinguished group of union
activists and equity scholars who trace how
traditional union cultures, practices, and structures
have eroded solidarity and activism and created
an equity deficit in Canadian unions. Informed by
a feminist vision of unions as instruments of social
justice, the contributors argue that equity within
unions is not simply one possible path to union
renewal – it is the only way to reposition organized
labour as a central institution in workers’ lives.

Law 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 interdisci-
plinary analysis traces the emergence of a global
supraconstitution by which transnational corpo-
rations and powerful states discipline demo-
cratic governance in pursuit of neoconservative
economic globalization. This work documents the
contradictory transformations of the Canadian
state as it has retreated from some areas while
reasserting itself in others. It also looks beyond
the state and interstate systems to examine
governance initiatives involving actors from civil
society, business, and government. This book
is written for scholars and advanced students
of law and politics, as well as the broader policy
community.

Crossracial Encounters and Juridical Truths in British Columbia, 1871–1921
Renisa Mawani

Renisa Mawani is a rigorous researcher, a sharp

and race making in British Columbia and settler

– Constance Backhouse, Distinguished
University Professor and University Research
Chair, Faculty of Law, University of Ottawa.
This book offers fascinating new perspectives on
the roots of Canadian racism. Moving beyond tra-
ditional narratives of Aboriginal-European contact
and Chinese-European relations, Renisa Mawani
probes the unsettled landscape of crossracial
encounters between ‘Indians’ and ‘Chinese’ in
British Columbia history. She deftly captures the
frenzied anxieties that whites harboured over
ungovernable mixed-race activities, and brilliantly

Law The Grand Experiment

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

The essays in this volume reflect the exciting
new directions in which legal history in the settler
colonies of the British Empire has developed. The
contributors, all noted scholars, show how local
life and culture in selected settlements influ-
enced, and was influenced by, the ideology of the
rule of law that accompanied the British colonial
project. Exploring themes of legal translation,
local understandings, judicial biography, and “law
at the boundaries,” they examine the legal cul-
tures 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. A
variety of topics are covered, ranging from libel
law in New South Wales, Upper Canada, and
Massachusetts to the much-neglected question
of the extent to which British courts took note
of the decisions made by courts in the settler
dominions.

Law Protection of First Nations Cultural Heritage
Laws, Policy, and Reform
Edited by Catherine Bell and Robert Paterson
This book makes a major contribution to the field
by demonstrating the multifaceted nature of cultural
heritage issues, and the intersections of domestic,
international, and First Nations law that are pivotal to
understanding and resolving such issues.
– Rebecca Tsosie, author of American Indian
Law: Native Nations and the Federal System
Indigenous peoples around the world are seek-
ing greater control over tangible and intangible
cultural heritage. In Canada, issues concerning
repatriation and trade of material culture, heritage
site protection, treatment of ancestral remains,
and control over intangible heritage are governed
by a complex legal and policy environment.
This companion volume to First Nations Cultural
Heritage and Law looks at the key features of
Canadian, US, and international law influencing
First Nations Studies One of the Family
Metis Culture in Nineteenth-Century Northwestern Saskatchewan
Brenda Macdougall
In recent years there has been growing interest in
identifying the social and cultural attributes that
define the Metis as both Aboriginal and a distinct
people. The study of Metis identity formation has
also emerged as an innovative way to explore cul-
tural encounters and change in North American
history and anthropology.
In One of the Family, Brenda Macdougall
employs the concept of wahkootowin – the
Cree term for a worldview that privileges family
and values interconnectedness – to trace the
emergence of a Metis community in northern
Saskatchewan. Wahkootowin describes how
relationships in the nineteenth century were
supposed to work and helps to explain how the
Metis negotiated with fur trade companies and

First Nations Studies Healing Traditions

The Mental Health of Aboriginal Peoples in Canada
Edited by Laurence J. Kirmayer and Gail Guthrie Valaskakis

Aboriginal peoples in Canada have diverse cultures
but share common social and political challenges
that have contributed to their experiences of health
and illness. This collection addresses the origins
of mental health and social problems and the
emergence of culturally responsive approaches to
services and health promotion. Divided into four
sections, this book provides an overview of the
mental health of indigenous peoples; origins and
representations of social suffering; transformations
of identity and community; and traditional healing
and mental health services. 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.

First Nations Studies Braiding Histories

Learning from Aboriginal Peoples’ Experiences and Perspectives
Susan Dion

This book proposes a new pedagogy for address-
ing 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 under-
standing 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 hap-
pened 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 edu-
cation. It will be useful to teachers and students
of educational and Native studies and will appeal
to readers seeking a better understanding of co-
lonialism and Aboriginal--non-Aboriginal relations.

First Nations Studies Making Wawa
The Genesis of Chinook Jargon
George Lang

A two-edged sword of reconciliation and be-
trayal, 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.
Wawa had acquired its present shape, but lost
its homeland. It became a diaspora language in
which many communities seek some trace of
their past. A previously unpublished glossary of
Wawa circa 1825 is included as an appendix to
this volume.

First Nations Studies 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 understand-
ing the past, especially in the study of colonial-
ism 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, back-
woods, or borderlands. Towns and cities at the
farthest reaches of empire were crucial to the
settler colonial project. Yet the experiences of
Indigenous peoples in these urban frontiers have
been overshadowed by triumphant narratives of
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 trans-
formed, sometimes in violent ways, creating new
spaces and new polities.

Environmental Studies 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 atten-

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

Environmental Studies 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 environ-
mental 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 perspec-
tives of environmental justice, social movement
theory, the roles of science, and institutional
design. Two chapters offer a critical assessment
of green democratic theory.
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 cul-
tural 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 Studies 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 fac-
tors (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 confi-
dent 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. Parr offers
new perspectives on how humans make sense
of the world in the face of rapid environmental,
technological, and social change.

PHILOSOPHY 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 vegetari-
anism, 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 result-
ing 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 suc-
cess; it subsequently went into another period of
decline that lasted through much of the twentieth
century. The authority-questioning cultural revolu-
tion 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 read-
ers concerned with human-animal relations and
the foundations of animal rights.

Urban Planning Thinking Planning and Urbanism
Beth Moore Milroy

When manufacturers and retailers vacate tradi-
tional 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 surround-
ing area as a case study, Thinking Planning and
Urbanism meticulously reconstructs the rede-
velopment 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 circumstanc-
es, Moore Milroy concludes, practising planners
are marooned by planning theories that begin from
the premise that urban space is a social construc-
tion 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 rede-
velopment elsewhere, and thus will be extremely
useful to students and practitioners of urban
design, public administration, municipal law, and
urban and regional planning.

Sociology Surveillance
Power, Problems, and Politics
Edited by Sean P. Hier and Josh Greenberg

In this sprightly volume, the wide tires of surveil-
lance theory and propaganda meet the reality
inducing roads of critical conceptual and empirical
inquiry. The field of surveillance studies lurches
forward as a result. This informative interdisciplin-
ary work by Canadian scholars (the country in the
forefront of surveillance studies) should be read
by anyone interested in the richness, complexity,
and varied consequences of both traditional and
new surveillance techniques.
– Gary T. Marx, Professor Emeritus of Sociology
at M.I.T.
Surveillance is commonly rationalized as a
solution for existing problems such as crime
and terrorism. This book explores how surveil-
lance, often disguised as risk management or
harm reduction, can also cause a range of social
and political problems. Canadian scholars from
diverse disciplines interrogate the moral and ideo-
logical bases and material effects of surveillance
in policing, consumerism, welfare administration,
disaster management, popular culture, moral
regulation, news media, social movements, and
anti-terrorism campaigns.

– Toby A. Ten Eyck, Department of Sociology,

New technologies emerge all the time. Some
technologies, however, are transformative: they
introduce new forms of control, both through
formal systems of regulation and by informally
shaping our behaviour. Too often our social reac-
tions to new technologies occur only in hindsight,
after the technology has penetrated the market-
place. Contributors to this collection examine the
development, impact, and governance of new
technologies emerging from a variety of fields,
including biotechnology, genetics, stem cell
Emerging Technologies addresses the ethical,

Asian Studies The New Silk Road Diplomacy

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

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 com-
petition for energy and influence in Central Asia.
This multifaceted book offers a fresh perspec-
tive 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.

Asian Studies 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 ap-
peal to students and scholars of modern Japan,
international relations, and Christian missions.

Military College of Canada. He is also author
of The Cross in the Dark Valley: The Canadian

Asian Studies Fire and the Full Moon
Canada and Indonesia in a Decolonizing World
David Webster

The history of Canada’s postwar foreign
policy is dominated by Cold War narratives – the
Gouzenko Affair, UN peacekeeping missions, and
the Cuban Missile Crisis. By contrast, the story of
Canada’s response to decolonization in the Global
South is less well known.
Fire and the Full Moon explores Canadian-
Indonesian 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 decoloniza-
tion. Larger policy objectives and economic
development work, in turn, caused Canada to
overlook Indonesian human rights violations in
East Timor. Webster’s reassessment of Canada’s
foreign policy objectives and national image will
appeal to students and practitioners of Canadian
foreign policy and relations with Asia and the
developing world.

Sexuality Studies 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 histori-
cal 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

Cultural Studies 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 ques-
tion “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 differ-
ent 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.”

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 cru-
cial 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 long-

sponse to climate change in Canada and abroad.

– Dr. Olive Yonge, University of Alberta
Within most disciplines, there are those who are
recognized by their colleagues as being excep-

do their work in such a remarkable way as to
become a model for others. This book is based
on a study of the beliefs, actions, and interactions
of a group of extraordinary oncology nurses – the
nurses their peers would choose to have care for
them if they were diagnosed with cancer.
Perry’s weaving of narrative, comments, field
notes, poetry, and photography creates a very
personal and unique perspective on nursing that
leaves the reader with a greater understanding of
the experience, and rewards, of caring for others.

A Cowboy’s Account of the Bedaux Expedition
Bob White

Edited and with an introduction by Jay Sherwood
In the middle of the Great Depression, French
millionaire Charles Bedaux spent $250,000 on
a trek through northern British Columbia. The
Bedaux Expedition, which celebrates its 75th
anniversary in 2009, is one of the most unusual
events in the province’s history.
Bob White was there. A cowboy who took part in
the expedition, he describes the hardships of the
journey, the beauty of the untouched wilderness,
and the few inhabitants of the area. Whether he
is recalling a winter snowshoe and dogsled trip
or an adventure-filled summer journey, White’s
memoirs take us to the campfire stories of
people who were part of the vast wilderness of a
different age.
Bob White (1902–86) was born and raised in
rural southwestern Saskatchewan. He eventu-
ally headed west, trapping and working on pack
trains in northern Alberta and BC, where he was
hired to work for Charles Bedaux. Jay Sherwood
is the author of two photojournals: Surveying
Northern British Columbia, a BC Book Prize final-
ist, and Surveying Central British Columbia.

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 be-
came 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.
