Provocative Titles for Intellectual Pursuits

Winter 2011
This catalog represents our fourth and final catalog for this, the inaugural year
of the River North Editions catalog. We have been extremely pleased with the
response to this new catalog and look forward to another successful year. In
addition, based on the increase in diverse media reviews secured by the RNE
publishers, it appears that we are expanding the audience for these high-
quality works.

IPG has a meticulous approach to accepting publishers for distribution—many

publishers approach us, but few qualify for distribution—so it is extremely
rewarding to be able to introduce new and innovative publishers to the market-
place. When we do introduce a new publisher for the first time, we also display
their entire backlist under the last section in the catalog, entitled New Publisher
Backlist Titles.

In our commitment to offer fresh, original thinking and diverse opinions,

River North Editions is pleased to present its latest collection of new titles
from our noteworthy publishers. The content found in these titles will promote
intellectual inquiry, yet the subjects and points of view will reach beyond
a strictly academic ideal and satisfy the curiosity of customers who support
quality independent trade and university bookstores.

Enjoy,

narratives of passionate love as well as compelling defeat.

John Howard Griffin

• Author’s previous books sold more than 100,000 copies

The companion volume to the 50th-anniversary edition of Black

Like Me, this book features John Howard Griffin’s later writings
on racism and spirituality. Conveying a progressive evolution in
thinking, it further explores Griffin’s ethical stand in the human
rights struggle and nonviolent pursuit of equality—a view he
shared with greats such as Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and
Thomas Merton. Enlightening and forthright, this record also
focuses on Griffin’s spiritual grounding in the Catholic monastic
tradition, discussing the illuminating meditations on suffering and
the author’s own reflections on communication, justice, and dying.
John Howard Griffin was a musicologist who served, and was
injured, in the Air Force during World War II. Blind for a decade,
Griffin became an acclaimed novelist and essayist and when his
sight returned, almost miraculously, he became a remarkable por-
trait photographer. Following his cross-racial exploration in the
South, he was personally vilified, hanged in effigy in his home-
town, threatened with death, and severely beaten by the Klu Klux
Klan. Respected internationally as a human rights activist, he
worked with major Civil Rights leaders throughout the era,
taught at the University of Peace, and delivered more than a
1,200 lectures in the United States and abroad. He is the author
of The Devil Rides Outside.

The Long, Strange March
of Chinese Rock & Roll
Jonathan Campbell
• $20,000 marketing budget
Rebellious, individualistic, and explosive,
rock and roll seems incongruent with
modern Chinese society. However, as the
music has evolved from a Western import
into something uniquely Chinese, it has
been shaped by the nation’s unique sys-
tem and its relationship with the outside
world. As it tracks the music’s long jour-
ney from the Mao years to present day,
this account considers the people and the
events that have created Chinese rock’s
identity. Including interviews with musi-
cians, journalists, and industry experts,
this book demonstrates that Chinese rock
may be ready to smash its guitars on the
global stage.
Jonathan Campbell immersed himself in
China’s rock scene as a drummer, writer,
and promoter. He has brought Chinese
acts to the world stage, and brought over-
seas bands to China. His writing has
appeared in the Globe and Mail, Toronto
Star, and the South China Morning Post.
He lives in Toronto, Ontario.

this volume maps the contemporary cultural experience sur-
rounding Twilight and discusses multiple themes, such as fear
of aging, vampire ethics and the cross-generational appeal.

Shanghai Policeman
E. W. Peters
Foreword by Robert Bickers

British police officer E. W. Peters of the Shanghai Municipal
Police leads the way down the city’s dark lanes and alleys,
through a crime-ridden underworld of brothels, opium dens,

misunderstandings, one of which lands the author on trial for
murder. Here, old Shanghai is depicted at its most exciting.

Municipal Council who was dismissed following charges of
attempted murder. He and his codefendants were both found
not guilty. Robert Bickers is a professor of history at the

Good Money
Birmingham Button Makers, the Royal Mint,
and the Beginnings of Modern Coinage,
1775–1821
George Selgin
A fascinating story of the important yet virtually unknown
episode in the history of money, this history chronicles the
British manufacturers’ challenge to the Crown’s monopoly on
coinage. In the 1780s, when the Industrial Revolution was
gathering momentum, the Royal Mint failed to produce
enough small-denomination coinage for factory owners to pay
their workers. As the currency shortage threatened to derail
industrial progress, manufacturers began to mint custom-made
coins, called “tradesman’s tokens,” which served as the nation’s
most popular currency for wages and retail sales until 1821,
when the Crown outlawed all moneys except its own. This
book not only examines the crucial role of private coinage in
fueling Great Britain’s Industrial Revolution, but also sheds
light on contemporary private-sector alternatives to govern-
ment-issued money, such as digital monies, cash cards, elec-
tronic funds transfer, and—outside of the United
States—spontaneous “dollarization.”
George Selgin is a research fellow at the Independent Institute
and a professor of economics at the University of Georgia. He
is also the author of Bank Deregulation and Monetary Order,
Less Than Zero, and The Theory of Free Banking. He lives in
Athens, Georgia.

Sophie Cunningham
A year in Melbourne’s city life told in
diary form, this contemporary and per-
sonal portrait depicts major events from
the Australian heat wave, which culmi-
nated in more than 400 bushfires, to the
destructive deluge of a hailstorm. While
walking through Melbourne’s oldest sub-
urb to its largest market, experiencing an
Australian Rules Football game, and
attending the comedy festival, writer
Sophie Cunningham journeys deep into
her own recollections of the city she grew
up in, and tells stories from its history.
She strolls by Melbourne’s rivers and
creeks and considers the history of the
wetlands and river that sit at
Melbourne’s heart, for it is water—the
corralling of it, the excess of it, the
squandering of it, the lack of it—that
defines Melbourne’s history, its present,
and its future.

• Authors’ previous books sold more than 15,000 copies
Almost a century after the Australian Light Horse cavalry and
infantry fought a series of epic and bloody battles against the
Turkish Army across the deserts of the Middle East, the steps
of the men and boys who fought there are retraced in this
extraordinary book. From the enemy trenches where they
charged the Turks on horseback, to the narrow mountain pass-
es—where, exhausted, they slept in their saddles in retreat—
this account journeys to the hostile and lonely places where
soldiers lost and buried their mates. Through battlefields still
littered with shrapnel, bullet casings, and even the odd human
bone, this part travelogue and part history reflects upon the
collision of the turbulent Middle Eastern politics with the past.
Paul Daley is an author, columnist, and multiple-award-winning

nature and potency of the U.S. alliance, and the influence of
individual personalities in charting Australia’s course are laid
bare in what was once dubbed the “good war.”

This explosive firsthand account, written
by one of Australia’s feistiest and most

lows the journalist through his 40 years in

Seretse & Ruth
The Love Story
Wilf Mbanga and Trish Mbanga
In 1966 the Republic of Botswana came
into existence, and this is the tale of how
one family played a central role in the
country’s development. This biography
focuses on the Khama family, and in par-
ticular, Seretse Khama: a statesman, chief,
husband, and father. Dwelling on the last
two aspects of this important figure, this
account demonstrates how, in the face of
great difficulties and opposition, Sereste
and Ruth—a black man and a white
woman—were united in a fruitful mar-
riage that showed the world how people
from different traditions might live hap-
pily. In many respects, their personal
story, so movingly recounted here, mir-
rors the beliefs of the country itself, for
Botswana has always stressed the impor-
tance of social harmony.
Wilf Banga and Trish Banga are writers,
journalists, and publishers. For many
years, they have worked to promote the
Zimbabwean newspaper.

Introduction by James Dubro

North America’s first gangster novel—
originally published in 1928—this page-
turning thriller features characters both
charming and terrifying. Set in Toronto
during the era of speakeasies and under-
world vendettas, the tale centers on
Harry Trotter, an amoral figure who loses
his job and his wife in quick succession.
He soon evolves from a bootlegger into a
reputable gangster, doing as he pleases
and strong-arming anyone who stands in
his way. Reviving the narrative that set
the literary stage for the hard-boiled
crime genre, this is a seething noir tale of
crime, murder, betrayal, and knuckle-
bruising politics.

China’s imbalanced growth is a challenge
to future economic development. To cor-

consumer-oriented economy, market-ori-
ented finance, coordinated development
of regional economies, and managed bal-
ance of payments.

Anatomy of a Global Failure
Second edition
Samir Amin
With great clarity, this updated edition
explains the complex changes of the late
20th and early 21st centuries, including
the transformations in Eastern Europe and
in the world economy, the growth of capi-
talism in China and its materialist goals
being increasingly questioned by new
social movements including the Greens.
Written by a well-known political econo-
mist, this analysis addresses problems spe-
cific to the third world, with particular
emphasis on the crisis of the African conti-
nent. As it examines the failure of devel-
opment from a political standpoint, this
account argues that the world needs to be
remade on the basis of an alternative
social system that is national, popular, and
based on cooperation between the coun-
tries of the southern hemisphere.
Samir Amin is an economist, the director
of the Third World Forum, and the author

In this book, leading economists assemble
key data to provide an analytical intro-
duction to the contemporary New
Zealand economy. Interpreting key eco-
nomic indicators over time—gross
domestic product and interest rates, pop-
ulation, employment and productivity
levels, trade and investment, and govern-
ment accounts—this examination focuses
particularly on two issues: globalization
and the rise of the Asian economies dur-
ing the past 30 years, and the origins and
continuing effects of the 2007–08 global
financial crisis. Rich with local data and
case studies, this is a clear and concise
assessment of the current structure and
performance of New Zealand’s economy
from a historical and global perspective.
Ralph Lattimore is a consulting econo-
mist for the New Zealand Institute for

Private Affluence,
Public Austerity
Economic Crisis & Democratic
Malaise in Canada
Stephen McBride
and Heather Whiteside
Examining Canadian political and eco-
nomic developments of the 21st century,
this study analyzes the dynamics of
Canadian politics in the era of neoliberal
globalization. The survey contends that,
although the last three decades of neolib-
eral rule are characterized by recurrent
crises, the system has proven to be
resilient—even in the face of a severe
recession. Canada’s approach to the recent
financial crisis is highlighted, arguing that
it is failing to challenge the policies that
are fundamental to the system and culpa-
ble for the crisis. Illustrating the legacy of
the Canadian political system, this discus-
sion encourages consideration of the rela-
tionship between neoliberalism and crisis
as well as their role in democratic decline.
Stephen McBride is a professor of political
science and Canada Research Chair in
public policy and globalization at
McMaster University. He is the author of
Dismantling a Nation and Paradigm Shift.
He lives in Hamilton, Ontario. Heather
Whiteside is a doctoral candidate in politi-
cal science at Simon Fraser University. She
lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.

The Human Rights Act
and the Assault
on Liberty
Rights and Asylum in the UK
Parnesh Sharma
Demonstrating that the state of civil lib-
erties and human rights in the United
Kingdom are quite perilous, this case
study looks at the role of rights vis-à-vis
social change and culture. Empirically
examining the Human Rights Act (HRA),
with asylum serving as the main case
study, the book focuses on law in action,
based on extensive fieldwork and framed
against current events. It also discusses
the role of Section 55—a law enacted at
the same time as the HRA that was an
antithesis of what the HRA promised and
which forced thousands of asylum-seek-
ers into destitution. Though Section 55
was eventually defeated, asylum-seekers
in the UK are still powerless and margin-
alized. This thoughtful analysis of the use
of rights laws to advance social causes
presents both potential and pitfalls, mak-
ing it useful for sociologists, activists, and
nongovernmental organizations.

Portfolio Theory
A Coherent Approach to
Strategic Asset Allocation
Philippe J. S. De Brouwer
Written from the perspective of a finan-
cial investor, this account supports
Behavioral Portfolio Theory, draws atten-
tion to the importance of asset-liability
matching, and offers a natural frame-
work for investor-adviser dialogue and
mathematical portfolio optimization. In
this system, investment goals—and not
investor psychology—drive investment
advice; “risk” depends on the investment
objective and may be different in each
sub-portfolio. This comprehensive book
presents an extensive overview of existing
portfolio theories and behavioral finance,
and introduces new theories and its prac-
tical applications.

Speech Matters
Getting Free Speech Right
Katharine Gelber
A council officer shuts down a Sydney art
exhibition that sends a political message
about the Iraq war; Big Day Out organiz-
ers are attacked for requesting that atten-
dees not wear the Australian flag after the
Cronulla riots. Why are Australians get-
ting free speech wrong? Despite its pro-
fessed support of free speech, Australia is
remarkably tolerant of activities that cur-
tail it. Arguing that freedom of speech is a
vital democratic freedom, this account
investigates a wide range of political
expression to discover what value
Australians place on free speech. Filled
with controversial examples to fuel the
debate, it questions the efficacy and extent
of the public’s commitment to freedom of
speech in Australian political culture. This
important book rethinks freedom of
speech and encourages citizens to be more
active in running their country.
Katharine Gelber is an associate professor

Conflict Resolution
and Status
The Case of Georgia
and Abkhazia (1989–2008)
Céline Francis
An examination of the Georgia versus
Abkhazia case, this account explores how
and to what extent the difference in sta-
tus between a sovereign state and an
unrecognized entity hinders conflict reso-
lution activities. Based on intensive field-
work and unedited negotiation material,
it provides an in-depth analysis of the
negotiations, informal dialogues, and
grassroots activities that took place in
Georgia and Abkhazia between 1989 and
2008. Arguing that their strategies
impeded progress in areas as diverse as
the return of displaced people, the
deployment of a UN peacekeeping opera-
tion in the early 1990s, and the imple-
mentation of confidence-building
measures, this study also illustrates the
consequences of lack of engagement with
an unrecognized entity.

The Criminalisation
of Youth
Juvenile Justice in Europe,
Turkey and Canada
Edited by Francis Bailleau
and Yves Cartuyvels
Transformations to the criminal justice
system in Western societies are often
linked with broader social and cultural
changes, and this work presents the recent
changes in juvenile justice in Canada and
nine European countries and the sociopo-
litical context in which they take place.
The study provides a comparison of the
sentencing practices of each country,
focusing on three dimensions related to
the sanction practices: the custodial sanc-
tions, the alternative sanctions, and the
extension of the judicial thinking into rel-
ative fields such as school, training, and
social policies. It illustrates that changes
in juvenile justice policies are not specifi-
cally the result of differences in crime
rates or the evolution of deviant youth
behavior, but rather the effect of complex
interactions with a variety of social, eco-
nomical, cultural, and political factors.
Francis Bailleau is a sociologist and the
director of research at the French
National Center for Scientific Research.
Yves Cartuyvels is a professor of penal
law and criminology at the Facultés uni-

Vanishing Schools,
Threatened
Communities
The Contested Schoolhouse in
Maritime Canada 1850–2010
Paul W. Bennett
Exploring the phenomenon of school clo-
sures, this study highlights how traditional
schoolhouses and neighborhood schools
are disappearing at an alarming rate, mak-
ing way for “big-box” schools that serve
multiple communities and adhere to the
logic of modernization, centralization, and
uniformity. It focuses on Maritime Canada
from 1850 to the present day and exam-
ines the rise of common schooling from
one-room schoolhouses that encouraged
local democratic control to the rise of
“super-sized” schools governed by a vast
bureaucracy that silences public participa-
tion. The relationship between school clo-
sures and a decline in community is clearly
shown and the book encourages a return
to the principles that formed the basis of
the public education system in order to
better serve the needs of children and
their communities.

made, this is also an environmental and
community wake-up call—through logic
rather than fear-mongering—that will
inspire people to make a difference.

The Settler’s Plot
How Stories Take Place
in New Zealand
Alex Calder
A study of the relationship between writ-
ing, place, and the history of the
Pakeha/European settlement in New
Zealand, this book explores the most fre-
quently chosen settings in classic New
Zealand literature—the beach, the farm,
the bush, and the suburb—and reflects on
the plots and storylines that go with
them. Through fascinating and unpre-
dictable readings of some of the country’s
greatest works, writers such as Curnow,
Frame, Mansfield, and Sargeson are
viewed from new angles, while neglected
masterpieces by Guthrie-Smith and
Maning are deemed central to New
Zealand tradition. Topics include identity,
cross-culturalism, the settling and unset-
tling of land, suburbanization, and the
role of distance.
Alex Calder is an English lecturer at the

The Sons of Clovis
(Literary Hoaxes)
David Brooks
A fascinating study of literary hoaxes as
part of a wide-ranging journey through
literature, culture, and poetics, this book
offers a fresh look into Australia’s Ern
Malley affair. In the mid 1940s, writers
James McAuley and Harold Stewart sub-
mitted a series of poems to the modernist
literary magazine Angry Penguins under
the fictitious name Ern Malley; “Ernest”
because they weren’t, and “mal” to play
on the French word for “bad.” Their aim
was to demonstrate their utter disdain for
modern poetry by deliberately writing bad
verse, hastily concocted by lifting lines
from whatever came to hand blended with
self-conscious hints at meaning. In a flurry
of excitement, the poems were published
in a special edition proclaiming the discov-
ery of an important new Australian voice.
Uncovering some astounding evidence
that challenges all accepted truths about
the hoax and its origins, this revelatory
account combines the authority of an aca-
demic classic with the narrative tension of
a thriller.
David Brooks is a professor of Australian
literature at the University of Sydney and
an award-winning author of three novels
and several collections of poetry, short

The Hard Light of Day
An Artist’s Story of Friendships
in Arrernte Country
Rod Moss
Written over the course of 25 years, this
book is a candidly brutal and ground-
breaking account of race relationships and
friendships in the central Australian town
of Alice Springs. In the early 1980s, artist
Rod Moss arrived to teach painting in
Alice Springs and soon was adopted as a
family member by the local Arrernte peo-
ple. Keeping a journal during the next
three decades, he chronicled his experi-
ences as he taught, struggled to paint,
raised his children, and immersed himself
completely in the Arrernte lifestyle. Filled
with evocative photographs and paintings,
this rare insight into the reality of life
there illustrates the endemic violence,
alcoholism, and rampant ill health as well
as the enriching and transformative power
of Arrernte friendships and culture.
Rod Moss is a an artist who is repre-
sented by the Anna Pappas Gallery in
Melobourne, the Fireworks Gallery in
Brisbane, and the Peta Appleyeard
Gallery in Alice Springs. He is the
recipient of the Northern Territory
Book of the Year Award.

Indifferent Inclusion
Aboriginal People
and the Australian Nation
Russell McGregor
Combining the perspectives of political,
social, and cultural history in a coherent
narrative, this account is a holistic inter-
pretation of the complex relationship
between Indigenous and settler
Australians during the middle of the 20th
century. As it provides a cogent analysis
of how the relationship changed, this
record focuses on the quest for
Aboriginal inclusion in the Australian
nation—a task that dominated the
Aboriginal agenda at the time—and chal-
lenges existing scholarship and assump-
tions, particularly around assimilation.
Arguing that inclusion was not a function
of political lobbying and parliamentary
decision making, this is an insightful his-
tory of the changing nature of race rela-
tions in Australia.

sor of history at James Cook University in

Breaking the
Sheep’s Back
Charles Massy
The 10-billion-dollar collapse of the wool
industry is considered one of Australia’s
biggest business disasters, and for the
first time, the shocking true story behind
this colossal collapse is revealed.
Spanning 170 years from the birth of the
industry in 1840 and its boom during the
1950s through its unraveling from 1980
to 1991, this is a searing account of
greed, political corruption, and heavy-
handed protectionism. As it uncovers the
never-before-seen archival sources, gov-
ernment and board papers, and private
correspondence and shares exclusive
interviews with key whistle blowers, this
narrative unveils the gripping true story
of government corruption in a seemingly
untouchable industry.
Charles Massy is the founder of the lead-
ing merino stud Severn Park and is recog-
nized as an innovator in marketing and
merino genetics. He is the author of The

Joan Martin (Yarrna)
A Widi Woman
Joan Martin and Bruce Shaw
The life story of Joan Martin is that of a
fierce Aboriginal woman who fought for
the rights of her community and her
autobiography also tells of the Aboriginal
experience in general since World War II.
Born in the country town of Morawa,
Western Australia, in 1941, Martin led an
exciting and adventurous life filled with
great challenges—including her efforts to
avoid Native Welfare, so as not to be
shipped to a mission, and her later very
public battle with Homeswest for the
right to live in peace in her own home.
Joan played a central part in the native
title claim of the Widi, which unfortu-
nately proved unsuccessful. Her stories
reveal the interconnected themes of fami-
ly, teaching bush lore to her children, and
celebrating the Widi culture through her
art, as well as tales of conflicts with min-
ing companies and white bureaucracies.
Joan Martin is a Widi woman and artist
whose work includes a large mosaic in the
foyer of the Center for Aboriginal Studies
at the Curtin University in Australia.
Bruce Shaw is an Australian writer and
anthropologist. He is the author of Our

and this analysis suggests a radical rein-
vention of the working-class movement in
Canada. First chronicling the historical
development of the movement, from the
structure of unions and other organiza-
tions to their activities and even the guid-
ing ideology, it then offers an explanation
for its current state, contending that
reform within the movement is not
enough. Featuring critical examinations
of the workers’ movement and unions in
Canada with voices from each, the author
presents a new way forward in reaching
the goal of reform.

The Left in Iran
1905–1940
Edited by Cosroe Chaqueri
• Author’s previous books sold more
than 10,000 copies
The first of three, this volume explores
Iranian history from 1905 to 1940 and
past events in which Iran has grabbed
the world’s attention. Discussing the fail-
ure of the workers’ and socialist move-
ment, where opportunities seem to have
appeared and been snuffed out at crucial
times, it also explains the reactionary
role of British imperialism during this
period. Eschewing easy answers, this
record critically reviews the roles of
Lenin and Theodore Rothstein in subor-
dinating Iranian working class interests
to those of the Russian state. Detailed
and authoritative, with many relevant
documents never before available in
English, this volume gives a new and real
understanding of early Iranian socialist
and radical movements.

The Left in Iran
1941–1957
Edited by Cosroe Chaqueri
Based on many original documents, this
book surveys Iranian political history
from 1941 through 1957, focusing on the
Tudeh Party: the only substantial left-
wing organization in Iran during this peri-
od. Topics include the party’s relationship
with the labor movement in Iran; its place
in the mass movement demanding the
nationalization of the Anglo-Iranian Oil
Company; its attitudes towards the coun-
try’s various governments; its relationship
with the Soviet Union; and, in particular,
its dealing with Moscow’s attempt to
establish a pro-Soviet autonomous gov-
ernment in Iranian Azerbaijan in 1945. As
it discusses the various blunders and fail-
ures made by the party over the years,
this history considers how close the Tudeh
Party came to being destroyed following
the muses on the Anglo-American coup
d’état against Mosaddeq’s government
in 1953.

A Concise History of the Qing Dynasty series

Dai Yi
The Qing Dynasty was a feudal institution established by the upper dominant class of the Manchu ethnic minority—and the last
of the feudal autocratic monarchy dynasties in China’s long history. This book provides an account of the history of the
Manchurian rise, their peak and decline, and their eventual demise, but, above all, it is an account of the significant history of the
development, creation, and struggle for a modern China. Spread across four volumes, this record begins with the ancestry and rise
of Manchu and ends at the Opium War in 1840, after which China entered the modern historical period and great revolutionary
changes took place in society that were fundamentally different from those of the early and mid-Qing Dynasty.
Dai Yi has served as director of the history department and as director of the Research Institute of Chinese History at Renmin
University of China. He is the author or editor of more than 30 books, including China and the World in the 18th Century and A
Yearbook of the Qing Dynasty.

Good Places to Live
Poverty and Public Housing
in Canada
Jim Silver
• Author’s previous books sold more
than 10,000 copies
Demonstrating how public housing proj-
ects are stigmatized and stereotyped as
havens of poverty, illegal activity, and
violence, this study contends that the
problems with which they are so often
associated are not inherent but the result
of structural inequalities and neoliberal
government policies. It urges a reconsid-
eration of the fate of this type of housing
tenure, arguing that urban poverty—
dubbed as “spatially concentrated racial-
ized poverty” by the author—is not
solved by razing public housing. Instead,
he illustrates how these projects can be
rebuilt from within based on their com-
munities’ strengths and supported by
meaningful public investment.
Jim Silver is a professor and director
of urban and inner-city studies at the
University of Winnipeg. He is the author
of Building a Better World, Doing

• Author’s previous books sold more
than 13,000 copies
• Part of the About Canada series
Examining the United Nations
Declaration of the Rights of the Child,
this study analyzes each of its rights with-
in the Canadian context—and finds
Canada wanting. The argument contends
that although the country’s expressed
desire is to protect and care for its chil-
dren, the reality is that young people—in
Canada and around the world—often
lack basic human rights. Illustrating how
children are steeped in abuse from the
education and justice systems, exploited
by corporations and in the sex trade, and
suffer from ill health and poverty, this
volume also demonstrates that while the
hearts of Canadians go out to oppressed
youth in distant countries, very little sym-
pathy is spent on the suffering of young
people close to home. This survey
explores these contradictory views, evinc-
ing that more must be done to ensure
that children’s rights are upheld.

About Canada:
Immigration
Nupur Gogia and Bonnie Slade
• Part of the About Canada series
Challenging the notions that immigrants
steal jobs away from qualified Canadians,
abuse the healthcare system, and refuse to
participate in Canadian culture, this inves-
tigation delves into the realities of immi-
grating to Canada. It contends that the
country’s historical immigration policies
have always been fundamentally racist
and argues that current policies still favor
certain kinds of applicants. The number of
highly trained and educated professionals
who have recently immigrated is high-
lighted, revealing how few of them find
work in their area of expertise despite
their potential for making significant con-
tributions. This study also illustrates how
Canada needs construction workers, nan-
nies, and agricultural workers—but how
very few immigrants who do this work
qualify for citizenship. Underscoring the
need to move beyond the myths, it encour-
ages an immigration policy that meets the
needs of Canadian society.

and equity studies in education. She lives

Liberty: A History
of Civil Liberties
in Australia
James Waghorne
and Stuart Macintyre
A fascinating look at the history of civil
liberties in Australia, this account offers a
solid background to key civil liberties
cases and a fresh analysis of the common
law, human rights, and parliamentary
democracy. From arguments over censor-
ship in the 1930s to present-day debates
on mandatory sentencing, the concept of
civil liberties and its impact are discussed,
tracing the formation of the Australian
Council for Civil Liberties and its state-
based counterparts as well as chronicling
their involvement in the movement for
law reform. Through major Australian
historic events, this book demonstrates
how the nation has been shaped by
civil liberties.

The Agrarian Question
in the Neoliberal Era
Primitive Accumulation
and the Peasantry
Utsa Patnaik and Sam Moyo
Preface by Issa Shivji
This account is a compelling and critical
destruction of both the English agricul-
tural revolution and the theory of com-
parative advantage, upon which unequal
trade has been justified for three cen-
turies. It argues that these ideas have
been used to disguise the fact that the
North—from the time of colonialism to
the present day—has used the much
greater agricultural productivity of the
South to feed and improve the living
standards of its own people while impov-
erishing the South. Arguing that political
stability hangs in the balance, this book
calls for labor-intensive small-scale pro-
duction, new thinking about which agri-
cultural commodities are produced, the
redistribution of the means of food pro-
duction, and increased investment in
rural development.
Utsa Patnaik is a professor of economics
and the author of several books, including
The Republic of Hunger and Other
Essays. Sam Moyo is the executive direc-
tor of the African Institute for Agrarian
Studies in Harare, Zimbabwe. Issa Shivji

African Awakening
The Emerging Revolutions
Edited by Sokari Ekine
and Firoze Manji
An insightful and comprehensive compi-
lation of the year’s events, this record
offers in-the-moment comment and
analysis as well as informed reflection on
the 2011 African uprisings. While the
tumultuous uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt,
and Libya have seized the attention of
media analysts, the concurrent rebellions
in Benin, Gabon, Senegal, Swaziland,
Ethiopia, Djibouti, Uganda, and in other
parts of the African continent have gone
virtually unnoticed. Arguing that these
disturbances are the result of decades of
declining living standards, mass unem-
ployment, land dispossessions, and
impoverishment of the majority, this
account provides an overview of the
struggle for democratization, which con-
stitutes a reawakening of the spirit of
freedom and justice for all.

Throwing Down
White Man
Cape Rule and Misrule in
Colonial Lesotho, 1871–1884
Peter Sanders
Surrounded by South Africa lies the
small, independent kingdom of Lesotho,
and this book explores how the Basotho
people came to preserve this autonomy
from powerful neighbors in the Gun
War of 1880–81. One of several wars in
southern Africa at the time, the Gun War
was different in one, all-important
respect: the whites were humiliatingly
defeated, or at least decisively held at bay.
Presenting oral traditions and archival
sources with meticulous care, this history
lays bare the narrower interests and con-
flicting perspectives among the Basotho
chiefs and the local officials as well as the
larger forces at work in the region.
Compelling and absorbing, this study of
the Gun War will interest historians and
academics alike.

The First President
A Life of John L. Dube,
Founding President of the ANC
Heather Hughes
A full biography of the founding presi-
dent of the African National Council
(ANC), this account uncovers the inspira-
tions for John L. Dube’s many public
achievements. Tracing the history of his
forbearers in the Zulu kingdom, this vol-
ume chronicles the politician’s life from
his birth in 1871, and highlights his many
achievements, including the founding of
the Ohlange School, the key role he
played in the Bhambatha Rebellion, and
the authorship of the first Zulu novel. As
it evaluates Dube’s five-year presidency
of the ANC, this book shows that in spite
of the many conflicts and ambiguities in
his position, Dube’s central political
belief—that Africans should be directly
represented in the parliament of the
land—remained remarkably constant
throughout his long career.

Colonial Australian
Adventure Fiction
Edited by Ken Gelder
and Rachael Weaver
Featuring some of the best examples of
colonial Australian adventure fiction, this
anthology includes writers such as Louis
Becke, Guy Boothby, Ernest Favenc, and
Rosa Praed. These fascinating stories
illustrate how this subgenre of fiction
takes its characters—marauding
bushrangers, lost explorers, mad shep-
herds, new chums, and mounted troopers
to name a few—on a journey into remote
and unfamiliar territory, often in pursuit
of wealth and well-being. Furthermore, it
argues that these voyages are invariably
fraught with danger and that everything
comes at a price. Academics and fans of
this particular kind of adventure fiction
will truly appreciate this exploration.

With modesty and conviction, this edi-

philosophy. In doing so, it argues,
Shakespeare raises the fundamental ques-

and persuasive, this book also contrasts
Hamlet with Measure for Measure and
Othello with The Winter’s Tale in order
to expose the dilemmas that confront

Disturbing in its honesty, this anthology
focuses a sharp yet intimate eye upon the
people of the Caribbean. The characters
face problems of freedom, history, race,
class, violence, entrapment, and morality.
Theirs is a region in constant flux, trying
to break away from its dehumanizing
past while uncertain of how to manage
the present and plan for the future.
Unflinching in its portrayal of the reali-
ties of Caribbean life, these dark short
stories also find solace in the natural
beauty of the region.

Reflecting on three distinct periods in the
unnamed narrator’s life in Guyana from
the 1920s to the 1940s, this novel illus-
trates the various incidents that gradually
change his perception of the world. After
he experiences a disconcerting vision
regarding one of his friends, he is ren-
dered incapable of reviewing his own his-
tory until many years later, when this
fictional account begins a voyage through
his consciousness. This cyclical tale
removes the props of linear narrative and
conventional characterization, offering a
compensating Proustian richness of sen-
suous associations. This powerful explo-
ration of memory also delves into a
political dimension, questioning the con-
nection between the 1948 anticolonial
movement’s challenge of British power
over Guyanese lives and the 1964 civil
war between Africans and Indians in the
South American state.

Everything I Found

Cynan Jones
A dark tale of slavery, immigration, and
murder set on the west coast of Wales,
this is a startling portrait of three ordi-
nary lives taken to extremes. In the
aching cold where night bumps into day,
Hold hears noises confirming he isn’t
alone. At the edge of his nets, a rudder-
less dingy thumps against the rocks.
What he finds there changes everything.
Meanwhile, Grzegorz works hard, with
no time for rest and little thanks. All he
needs is an opportunity; when it comes,
what can he do but take it? On the other
hand, the Big Man knows only one kind
of life—where all that is needed are a
code of honor and a reputation—but it’s
leaving him behind and he’s struggling to
keep up. One random technical hitch
later and the three men are set on a jour-
ney that none could have foreseen.
Cynan Jones is the award-winning author
of The Long Dry.

are headed nowhere, and soon the situa-

and Michael Abdurrahman Fitzgerald
Written by 18th-century Moroccan schol-

book defines Sufic terminology. Based on
four published Arabic editions of the
Mi’raj and two manuscript versions, this
translation is supplemented by excerpts
from some of Ibn ’Ajiba’s other works,
which offer insights about the essential
notions of Sufism: repentance, integrity,
love, patience, gratitude, and the Eternal
Wine. This bilingual edition—Arabic and
English—celebrates Ahmad ibn ’Ajiba’s
belief that coming to know and reflect
upon these notions could be, in itself, a
sort of ascending meditative journey.

Shaikh Amin ’Ala ad-Din
an-Naqshbandi
Translated by Dr. Muhammad Sharif
Ahmad and Muhtar Holland
Unlike most English-language books on
Sufism—which tend to reflect on the
sociocultural orientations of the modern
West—this account provides a window
into the living Sufism of the Khalidi-
Naqshbandi of Kurdistan. In this sense,
Sufism is quite unique as it contextualizes
the practice both historically and within
the Islamic religious milieu. With reviews
on the 25 stations experienced by Sufis,
from repentance to servanthood, this ref-
erence also discusses 15 common altered
states of consciousness as well as techni-
cal terms, praiseworthy and blameworthy
attributes, and the Naqshbandi path.
Given its comprehensive content, this
book offers a solid basis upon which to
understand authentic Sufi practice.
Shaikh Amin ’Ala ad-Din an-Naqshbandi
was the paramount Naqshbandi shaykh
in Kurdistan and great-grandson of
Mawlana Khalid, the founder of the
Khalidi-Naqshbandi Sufi lineage. Dr.

A’ishah al-Bacuniyah was one of the
greatest female scholars in Islamic histo-

she composed more works in Arabic than
any other woman prior to the 20th cen-
tury. This bilingual volume of poetry,
edited and translated into English for the
first time, recounts A’ishah al-Bacuniyah’s
remarkable story of devotion and mysti-
cal illumination, challenging many
Western stereotypes of Islam by present-
ing the thoughts, feelings, and concerns
of an educated Muslim woman. A’ishah
al-Bacuniyah does not write of hatred or
violence, but of her love and longing for
God and His prophet Muhammad. These
poems are a window into the world of
others and the self.

Nevskaya Mother of
God “Quick to Hear”

Translated by Sergio Tancredo Silva
• Advertising in Orthodox Life
The icon of the Mother of God “Quick to
Hear” is widely venerated throughout the
Orthodox world; a copy of the icon—
brought from Mount Athos to Russia in
1877—survived both a fire and the
destruction of churches under commu-
nism to come to rest at the St. Alexander
Nevsky Lavra in St. Petersburg. This book
offers a short history of the icon’s place in
the Russian Orthodox Church and
recounts some of the miracles associated
with its veneration. Included here are sto-
ries of the help and consolation given to
faithful from all walks of life, including
farmers, merchants, homemakers, sol-
diers, dukes, duchesses, and the much
loved St. Elizabeth the New Martyr.

Satisfying the Thirst
for Happiness
M. V. Lodyzhenskii
• Advertising in Orthodox Life
Arguing that human beings yearn to be
rooted in something greater than them-
selves and to know enduring joy and
peace whatever the circumstances, this
classic early-20th-century text examines
higher consciousness and the divine mys-
ticism of Eastern Christianity. Written by
a Russian philosopher and theologian,
this book explores the differences
between Christian philosophy and other
systems and discusses the beliefs of saint-
ed men and women, such as Francis of
Assisi, Seraphim of Sarov, and Simeon the
New Theologian. Musing upon martyr-
dom in the epoch of the first two
Ecumenical Councils, this book also con-
tains ruminations on the writings of Leo
Tolstoy as well as a conversation between
him and the author.
M. V. Lodyzhenskii is the author of The
Mystical Trilogy, Volume 1: The Super-
conscious and The Mystical Trilogy,
Volume 3: The Darkforce.

A Siberian Life
Mikhail Chevalkov
Translated by John Warden
• Advertising in Ancient Faith Radio
online and Orthodox Life
A remarkably simple yet profoundly deep
narrative, this translation is an introduc-
tion to the remote world of the 19th-
century Altai: a mountainous region of
southern Siberia. Native Altai tribesman
Mikhail Chelvalkov vividly describes the
physical beauty of the region while
chronicling many of the encounters that
took place throughout his life as the pop-
ulation transformed from competing
nomadic pagan tribes to a settled and
harmonious Orthodox Christian culture.
Chelvalkov’s testament provides valuable
insights for students of Christian mission,
ethnography, geography, and botany.
Mikhail Chevalkov was a pioneer both in
his missionary work and in the establish-
ment of the Altai language as a vehicle for
literature. He served as a deacon and
priest, and his translations of the Bible,

books were published in the 1840s. John

A Champion of Good
The Life of Father Ilarion
Natalia Mikhailovna Kopyttseva
Translated by Nathan K. Williams
Many lovers of literature are familiar,
through Dostoyevsky’s works, with the
concept of the Russian “Staretz,” or spiri-
tual elder, and this biography offers a
vivid portrayal of an authentic Staretz,
Father Ilarion—a monk of the renowned
Glinsk hermitage in modern-day Ukraine.
Offering unique insights into the
Orthodox Church in Russia during com-
munism and in the immediate postcom-
munist period, this account not only
chronicles Father Ilarion’s journey, but
also presents a vision of a simple
Christian life in the contemporary world.
With contributions from Father Ilarion’s
spiritual followers, this history also pro-
vides a glimpse into Russian culture and
religious perspectives.
Natalia Mikhailovna Kopyttseva is a
member of the faculty at Novgorod State
University in Russia. Nathan K. Williams
is a professional translator. He lives in
Topsham, Maine.

Jane McRae
Translated by Heni Jacob
The songs of New Zealand’s Maori tradi-
tion are a living art form and an abun-
dant source of knowledge about tribal
history and culture. An introduction to
the classic collection first compiled in the
1920s by politician Sir Apirana Ngata,
this volume not only outlines the origins
and history of the first publication but
also celebrates the power and meaning of
Maori song. Written in both English and
Maori, it discusses the music’s styles and
roles, the methods of composition, and
the poetry itself as well as the cultural
content. Filled with illustrations, this
enlightening book is a perfect entry point
for students, teachers, scholars, and
singers interested in learning about the
rich and vibrant Maori customs.

Electromagnetism
Nature’s Force That Shapes
Our Lives
Lawrence Fagg
A refreshingly rich and encompassing
perspective of our world, this examina-
tion demonstrates how, of the four forces
of physical nature, it is electromagnetic
force that activates nature as well as our
bodies and brains. Arguing that electro-
magnetism plays an indispensable role in
virtually all of modern technology, this
book conveys how deeply embedded and
intimately linked human beings are to
earthly nature. Using lucid, understand-
able terms, it explains the electromagnet-
ic workings of some of the core devices
of modern technology—such as the tran-
sistor and radar—and shares a number of
engaging vignettes about its discoverers
and well as anecdotes drawn from the
author’s own experience.
Lawrence Fagg is fellow of the American
Physical Society and an academic fellow
of the Institute on Religion. He is the
author of Electromagnetism and the

A Poetry–Emblem Book
H. Masud Taj and Bruce Meyer
Combining East and West, this volume of
poetry and prose ruminations presents a
celebration of the international language
of fauna—the animals that reside at the
core of the imagination. Each letter of the
alphabet is linked to a different living
thing, allowing these creatures to exist in
the fabric of language and providing a
categorical list of the beings that travel
within thoughts and dreams. In the tradi-
tion of the Eastern voice and the Western
custom of exegesis and explanation, this
volume allows two very different
approaches to literature to converge, cre-
ating an experience that is accessible,
informative, and entertaining.
H. Masud Taj is an oral poet, an archi-

A Bloom of Stones
A Tri-lingual Anthology
of Haitian Poems After
the Earthquake
Edited by Kwame Dawes
• Co-op available
• Editor’s previous books sold more
than 10,000 copies
On January 12, 2010, an earthquake
broke apart the city of Port au Prince
and stretches of the Haitian landscape,
killing almost 300,000 and leaving 1.2
million people homeless. Collecting the
work of more than 30 Haitian poets, this
anthology offers a complex and sophisti-
cated range of responses to the tragedy—
poems about the rupture of love, the
shock of a sudden catastrophe, the
hunger for more beauty in the world, the
shattering of landscapes, and ultimately,
explorations of the incomprehensible
nature of our mortality. Presenting
French and Haitian Creole poems along-
side their English translations, this trilin-
gual work seeks to make sense of the
natural disaster and its aftermath.
Kwame Dawes is a poet, an editor, and
the author of 17 books, including Bob
Marley and Red. He is the founder and
director of the USC Poetry Initiative. He
lives in Lincoln, Nebraska.

The Twelve Foot
Neon Woman
Loretta Collins Klobah
Against a soundtrack of world music—
from salsa to reggae and jazz—and in a
vibrant blend of English, Spanish, and
Patois, this collection delivers tender
hymns of homage to the Caribbean,
American, and British metropolises. In a
poetic form that is lyrical, narrative, sen-
sual, and often experimental, it offers
insight into the urgent social issues
impacting the everyday world and its
extraordinary people. As they seek con-
nections across boundaries of geography,
race, ethnicity, language, gender, age, and
economic class, these poems express a
hope for the future and the possibility for
cultural metamorphosis.
Loretta Collins Klobah is a professor of
Caribbean literature and creative writing
at the University of Puerto Rico. Her
poetry has been anthologized in the 1996

Australian Poetry
Since 1788
Edited by Robert Gray
and Geoffrey Lehmann
The first of its kind, this poetry antholo-
gy contains the work of Australia’s major
poets as well as lesser-known but equally
affecting writers of Australian poetry
since 1788. Ranging from concrete to
prose poems, from the cerebral to the
naïve, from the humorous to the confes-
sional, and from formal to free verse, this
work also features translations of some
striking Aboriginal song poems. With
pieces from 170 Australian poets, as well
as short critical biographies, this careful
reevaluation of Australian poetry makes
this a superb book that can be read and
enjoyed over a lifetime.
Robert Gray is an Australian poet and the
author of numerous books, including
Afterimages, The Land I Came Through
Last, and Nameless Earth. Geoffrey
Lehmann is an Australian poet and the
literary reviewer for the Australian news-
paper. He is the author of numerous
books, including Children’s Games,
Collected Poems, and Spring Forest. His
poems are widely published, most recent-
ly in the New Yorker.

Another Babylon
Vladislav Nekliaev
A rare and unexplored world—where
mythology and family converge—is
brought to life in this poetry collection.
Sensuous and deeply original, this work
evokes tradition and fantasy while under-
scoring the intimate pulses of family, loss,
and memory. With refreshing directness,
the ancient world is reimagined; gods
steal fruit from a man’s garden and long-
haired goddesses sit on windowsills to eat
chestnuts. This exciting compilation
mixes ancient Babylon with the humble
elements of daily life, bringing a rich new
meaning to them all.
Vladislav Nekliaev is the translator of the
first Russian translation of Dante Gabriel
Rossetti’s sonnet sequence The House of
Life. He is currently translating the extant
tragedies of Euripides from ancient Greek
into Russian.
