In a brilliant history of a turbulent time and place, Mills pulls
A compelling study of the global dimensions back the curtain on the decade’s activists and intellectuals, show-
and local particularities of political activism ing their engagement both with each other and with people from
in Sixties Montreal. around the world. He demonstrates how activists of different back-
grounds and with different political aims drew on ideas of decolo-
nization to rethink the meanings attached to the politics of sex,
race, and class and to imagine themselves as part of a broad trans-
national movement of anti-colonial and anti-imperialist resistance.
The temporary unity forged around ideas of decolonization came
undone in the 1970s, however, as many were forced to come to
terms with the contradictions and ambiguities of applying ideas
of decolonization in Quebec.
From linguistic debates to labour unions, and from the political
activities of citizens in the city’s poorest neighbourhoods to its
Caribbean intellectuals, The Empire Within is a political tour of
Montreal that reconsiders the meaning and legacy of the city’s
dissident traditions. It is also a fascinating chapter in the history
of postcolonial thought.

“It seems that I have been waiting for this book my entire adult life –
there is nothing like it. The Empire Within is a remarkable study
that explodes our old understanding of 1960s Quebec and Canadian
history. By revealing the extent to which global decolonization
theory informed radical Montreal activists of the time, Sean Mills
takes us beyond the scene’s usual Anglophone-Francophone divide.
This book is a refreshing change and will prove to be a compelling
read for all. Activists, take note!”

Concordia University

a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of English at New York
University.

The National Film Board of Canada is one of the world’s premier
centres for documentary filmmaking and has consistently received
attention and acclaim, both internationally and at home. One
particularly influential area of the NFB’s great body of works
was the bilingual activist documentary program Challenge for
Change/Société nouvelle, which ran from 1967 to 1980. The films
produced within this program were among the first to use 16mm
and portable video to enable audiences to confront broad issues
of sexism, poverty, and marginalization in the hope of developing
community, political awareness, and empowerment.
Pioneering participatory, social change-oriented media, the
program had a national and international impact on documentary
film-making, yet this is the first comprehensive history and analy-
sis of its work. The volume’s contributors study dozens of films
produced by the program, their themes, aesthetics, and politics,
and evaluate their legacy and the program’s place in Canadian,
Québécois, and world cinema.
An informative and nuanced look at a cinematic movement,
Challenge for Change reemphasizes not just the importance of the
NFB and its programs but also the role documentaries can play in
improving the world.
“Challenge for Change seamlessly integrates the history of this
classic National Film Board program with present day initiatives.
It sets the stage for further exploration on the subject and deals
comprehensively with the complex interrelation of English and
French production. The first of its kind, this book is ambitious,
accessible, and superbly informed.”

for improvement. The author argues that since the Second World War Canada has
assumed that potential threats will come from overseas rather than
from within its borders. Security and Defence in the Terrorist Era
shows that Canada’s safety depends upon paying equal attention
to threats at home and insists that we must consider the effect of
climate change on the Arctic as seriously as terrorist threats and
ballistic missile defence.
Covering a range of pertinent subjects with detail and expertise,
this new edition provides timely information and prescriptions for
keeping North America safe.

Praise for the First Edition

“… a clear , concise and most welcome contribution to our
knowledge of Canada–US defence relations.”
–Literary Review of Canada

“Sloan demonstrates a firm grasp of technological, command,

and control issues, rightly pointing out the necessarily different
approach that Canada needs to take from the US.”
–Joel Sokolsky, Royal Military College of Canada

“Elinor Sloan has provided an excellent review of the implications

of 9/11 for Canada’s national security strategy. Her recognition of
the importance of a continental approach to defence and security
is timely, and should inform a debate that must engage Canadians.
More importantly, she has recognized and persuasively argued that
the safety and well-being of Canadian citizens are directly linked to
international peace and security. This is a must-read for Canadians
who want to shape a meaningful and influential role for Canada
in the world.” –The Honorable John Manley, P.C., senior counsel
McCarthy Tétrault LLP and former deputy prime minister of Canada

The world has become familiar with the unprecedented growth of
surveillance after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, but a comprehensive
analysis of the public’s opinion of how their privacy is being pro-
tected or invaded has been unavailable – until now. Surveillance,
Privacy, and the Globalization of Personal Information reports the
findings of an international survey of citizens’ experiences with
newly implemented security measures and their perceptions
about privacy issues.
Covering a range of countries from China, Japan, Brazil, and
Mexico to the United States, Canada, Spain, France, and Hungary,
this volume reveals the similarities and differences among popu-
lations in their reactions to the surveillance era and in the amount
each knows about government monitoring. Topics deal with per-
tinent issues such as global, national, and local transfer of personal
information about citizens’ financial transactions, work, and travel.
The authors also analyse the collaboration of government and the
private sector in the collection and transfer of private information.
A remarkable resource in understanding attitudes towards
surveillance, security, and privacy, Surveillance, Privacy, and the
Globalization of Personal Information is indispensable for anyone
curious about what governments, the private sector, and citizens
know about each other.
“The research on which these articles are based is a magisterial
undertaking with its 9,000 interviews in nine countries, its rele-
vance to current social issues and its sensitivity to national differ-
ences even as universal information technologies sweep across –
and often sweep away – traditional borders.”

Edited by Amanda F. Grzyb
With a new introduction
“Ms. Grzyb’s book is a commendable
volume … holding to account those
states and organizations, including the
UN, who have so callously broken their
promise of ‘never again.’” –Embassy
The crisis in Darfur has led to systemic and widespread
murder, rape, and abduction, as well as the forced dis-
placement of millions of civilians. It presents a defining
moral challenge to the world.
This updated edition of The World and Darfur brings
together genocide scholars from a range of disciplines –
social history, art history, military history, African studies,
media studies, literature, political science, and sociology –
to provide a cohesive and nuanced understanding of the
international response to the crisis in Western Sudan.
Contributing authors, including Eric Reeves, Frank Chalk,
Eric Markusen, and Samuel Totten, look at the lessons
learned from the United Nations’ failure to intervene
during the Rwandan genocide, the representation of
Darfur in the mainstream media, atrocity investigations,
activist and NGO campaigns, art exhibitions and political
rhetoric, and the role of the international community in
the discourse of genocide prevention and intervention.

Second Edition
Barbara Killinger
With a new introduction
by the author
“Provides a broad-ranging, comprehen-
sive exploration of integrity and a
detailed how-to guide for acheiving
it in one’s life.” –Choice
“To lose one’s integrity is a profound tragedy. To achieve
integrity is a triumph of the soul.”
In a world in which fraudulent acts and corporate
scandals are common news, society has become
increasingly concerned over the deterioration in moral
and ethical values. Bestselling author and psychologist
Barbara Killinger explores the loss of basic integrity
and offers practical techniques for developing and
maintaining integrity in a culture that sometimes
challenges it.
Drawing on her clinical practice and pioneering efforts
in workaholism Dr Killinger describes the personality
traits and psychological, philosophical, historical, and
familial influences that help develop and maintain
integrity. She also looks at how integrity is undermined
and lost as a result of obsession, narcissism, and
workaholism.
Richly illustrated with personal stories, Integrity offers
a positive “how to” perspective on safeguarding personal
and professional integrity and on encouraging our
children to develop this vital character trait. Killinger
concludes that integrity is not possible without com-
passion and makes it clear that doing the right thing
includes doing it for the right reason.
Barbara Killinger is a clinical psychologist and the
author of the international bestseller Workaholics: The
Respectable Addicts, and The Balancing Act: Rediscovering
Your Feelings. She lives in Toronto.

Suzanne Hancock hold the troubled heart’s / understanding in a different way”

Subtle and surprising poems connecting the
use of bells in wartime with shifts in the
nature of affection.
During the Second World War, bells throughout Europe were taken
from their towers and used to make munitions. At the end of the
war, many of the bells were recast and restored to their heights.
In Cast from Bells, Suzanne Hancock dramatizes how the same
substance in one form gathers a crowd with its ringing, but in
another shape scatters people and creates disorder.
Balancing the bells of the past with the personal life of the
present, these poems offer an intimate look at a woman leaving
her husband. Against the backdrop of history, honest glimpses of
a relationship’s ruin reveal surprising connections between the
exalted and mundane.
Cast from Bells tells a story about people and things dividing and
uniting, and the sounds and spaces between bells and bullets.

Suzanne Hancock has taught at the University of Michigan in

Ann Arbor and is the author of Another Name for Bridge. She lives
in Montreal.

of journalism, Global Journalism Ethics offers a systematic philo-
sophy for this new era of reporting news in a technologically
connected age where stories and ethics cross borders.
Stephen Ward argues that present media practices are narrowly
based within the borders of single country and thus unable to
successfully inform the public about a globalized world. Presenting
an ethical framework for work in multimedia, the author extends
John Rawl’s theories of justice and the human good to redefine the
aims for which journalism should strive and then applies this new
foundation to issues such as the roles of patriotism and objectivity
in journalism.
An innovative argument that presents a necessary corrective
to contemporary media practices, Global Journalism Ethics is a
theoretically rich study for journalists on the air, in print, and on
the internet.

“Global Journalism Ethics advances a carefully argued, well-written

and systematic argument about the philosophical and historical
foundations for a global media ethic. Evidence of an expert
knowledge of liberal democratic theory, Ward makes an original
argument, taking on board the latest debates on global journalism
ethics.” –Herman Wasserman, University of Sheffield

Wild Geese offers a history of the religion’s evolution in Canada,
surveys the diverse communities and beliefs of Canadian Buddhists,
and presents biographies of Buddhist leaders. The essays cover a
broad range of topics, including Chinese, Tibetan, Lao, Japanese,
Korean, and Vietnamese Buddhisms, critical reflections on Budd-

analysis of the global context for the growth of Buddhism in

“Wild Geese has an abundance of information that has been

unavailable until now. The volume is provocative. It asks questions

Tecumseh’s Bones
Guy St-Denis
A historical mystery about the deception
behind the death, burial, and legacy of
the great Shawnee chief, Tecumseh.
Chief Tecumseh’s death at the Battle of the Thames marked
a turning point in the Anglo-American War of 1812. It was
also the beginning of a mystery: the mutilation of Native
corpses thwarted American attempts to identify Tecumseh’s
remains, giving rise to the belief that his body had been
secretly recovered by his warriors. Tecumseh’s Bones teases
fact from fiction in the myths and legends surrounding
the great chief’s burial.
Part detective story, part historical inquiry, this book
explores the countless attempts to locate the chief’s grave
and raise a monument in his honour. The first substantial
book on the subject based primarily on Canadian material
and packed with vivid descriptions of regional life in the
nineteenth century, Tecumseh’s Bones examines changing
attitudes towards Natives, sheds light on their relations
with early Euro-Canadian settlers, and highlights the role
of women in shaping the folklore traditions associated
with the Shawnee chief.
Drawing on a wealth of archival material, most of
which has never been published, Tecumseh’s Bones will
fascinate history buffs, historians, and mystery lovers.
“This thoroughly original work casts new light on the
enduring mystery of Tecumseh’s fate, brilliantly demon-
strating how history and myth converge.”

Aleut Identities
Tradition and Modernity
in an Indigenous Fishery
Katherine L. Reedy-Maschner
A contemporary portrait of an
Indigenous commercial fishing
society in the Arctic.
Anthropologists, looking at the traditional practices of
the indigenous peoples of the Arctic from a western
perspective, have often presented them as rigid and
unchanging. Presenting a decade of ethnographic
research on the Eastern Aleut of the western Alaska
Peninsula and Eastern Aleutian Islands, Katherine Reedy-
Maschner shows that “traditional” can denote many
things and can expand to include full participation in a
modern, commercial fishing economy as well as parti-
cipation in the global politics of the volatile fishing
industry.
The first Aleut ethnography in over three decades,
Aleut Identities provides a contemporary view of
indigenous Alaskans and is the first major work to
emphasize the importance of commercial labour and
economies to maintain traditional means of survival.
Examining the ways in which social relations and status
formation are affected by environmental concerns,
government policies, and market forces, the author
highlights how communities have responded to
worldwide pressures.
An informative work that challenges conventional
notions of “traditional,” Aleut Identities demonstrates
possible methods by which Indigenous communities
can maintain and adapt their identity in the face of
unrelenting change.

Louis-Jacques Dorais
A historical and anthropological
overview of Inuit peoples through
the study of language.
The Inuit occupy an immense area of land – from the
easternmost tip of Russia, through Alaska and Canada, to
Greenland. Inuit language, history, semantics, sociology,
and anthropology show a variety of distinct characteristics
in different parts of this vast area. Covering an equally
impressive range, The Language of the Inuit is the most
comprehensive study to date of the language and the
forces that have affected its development.
The culmination of forty years of research, The Language
of the Inuit maps the geographical distribution and
linguistic differences between the Eskaleut and Inuit
languages and dialects. Providing details about aspects
of comparative phonology, grammar, and lexicon as well
as Inuit prehistory and historical evolution, Louis-Jacques
Dorais shows the effects of bilingualism, literacy, and
formal education on Inuit language and considers its
present status and future.
An enormous task, masterfully accomplished, The
Language of the Inuit is not only an anthropological and
linguistic study of a language and the broad social and
cultural contexts where it is spoken but a history of
language’s speakers.
“Louis-Jacques Dorais shows why he is a leading specialist
in The Language of the Inuit. It is a state-of-the-art sum-
mary of the field and balanced throughout for a broad
audience. In both its scope and presentation there is cer-
tainly no other comparable work.” –Michael Fortescue,
Institute for Nordic Studies and Linguistics, University of
Copenhagen

of Anthropology at Université Laval.

These Mysterious People
Shaping History and Archaeology
in a Northwest Coast Community
Susan Roy
The story of how the Musqueam First Nation have used
cultural objects to take control of their history and land.
Archaeologists studying human remains and burial sites
of North America’s Indigenous peoples have discovered
more than information about the beliefs and practices
of cultures – they have also found controversy. These
Mysterious People shows how Western ideas and attitudes
about Indigenous peoples have transformed one culture’s
ancestors, burial grounds, and possessions into another
culture’s “specimens,”“archaeological sites,” and
“ethnographic artifacts,” in the process disassociating
Natives from their own histories.
Focusing on the Musqueam people and a contentious
archaeological site in Vancouver, These Mysterious People
details the relationship between the Musqueam and
researchers from the late nineteenth century to the
present. Susan Roy traces the historical development of
competing understandings of the past and reveals how
the Musqueam First Nation used information derived
from archaeological finds to assist the larger recognition
of territorial rights. She also details the ways in which
Musqueam legal and cultural expressions of their own
history – such as land claim submissions, petitions,
cultural displays, and testimonies – have challenged
public accounts of Aboriginal occupation and helped
to define Aboriginal rights in Canada.
An important and engaging examination of methods
of historical representation, These Mysterious People
analyses the ways historical evidence, material culture,
and places themselves have acquired legal and com-
munity authority.
Susan Roy teaches in the First Nations Studies Program
at the University of British Columbia and is a historical
research consultant for Indigenous communities in
Canada.

 BIOGRAPHY
n e w i n pa p e r
Mordecai Richler
Leaving St Urbain
Reinhold Kramer
“I didn’t want the biography to end.
Mordecai Richler seemed so vividly alive
… From now on, nobody can write about
Richler without reading this book.”
–The Globe and Mail
Master of prose and polemics, Mordecai Richler was, for
nearly five decades, one of Canada’s most compelling
writers. Though Richler insisted that his private life was
not important to his work, Reinhold Kramer shows that
Richler’s uneasy Jewishness, his reluctant Canadianness,
and his secularism were central to all of his writing.
Based on never-before published material from the
Richler archives as well as interviews with family members,
friends, and acquaintances, Mordecai Richler: Leaving St
Urbain shows how Richler consistently mined his remark-
able life for material for his novels. Beginning with the
early clashes with his grandfather over Orthodox Judaism,
and exposing the reasons behind his life-long quarrel with
his mother, Kramer follows Richler as he flees to Ibiza and
Paris, where he counted himself as one of the avant-garde
who ushered in the 1960s. His successes abroad gave
him the opportunity to remain in England and leave
novel-writing behind – but he did neither.
More than a biography, Mordecai Richler: Leaving St
Urbain is the story of a Jewish culture finding its place
within a larger stream, a literary culture moving into the
colloquial, and a Canada torn between nationalism and
cosmopolitanism.
Reinhold Kramer is professor of English at Brandon
University and the award-winning author, with Tom
Mitchell, of Walk Towards the Gallows: The Tragedy of
Hilda Blake, Hanged 1899 and Scatology and Civility in
the English-Canadian Novel.

Some Family
The Mormons and How
Humanity Keeps Track of Itself
Donald Harman Akenson
“Both an important study and a good
read. It ranks among the best books
on modern Mormonism, and makes a
unique contribution to understanding
some of its more arcane beliefs and
practices.” –Kathleen Flake, Biography
In this age of information, genealogical research has
become one of the most popular activities in the world,
and the Family History Library of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints is one of the most important
resources. Started in 1894, the Mormon genealogical
project has grown to include two billion names, 2.4
million rolls of microfilm, and 278,000 books, making it
the world’s largest collection of genealogical information.
Donald Akenson explains and evaluates the history and
functioning of this massive undertaking and, in the
process, provides an insightful study of the Mormon
scriptures and their implications for genealogical work.
Using supporting evidence that runs from the
Solomon Islands and classical China to ancient Ireland,
Akenson argues that there are four basic genealogical
forms. Highly significant on its own, this insight also
provides the information needed to assess the Latter-day
Saints’ efforts to provide a single narrative of how
humanity keeps track of itself.
Appendices cover topics of vital interest to historians,
genealogists, and ethnographers, such as the use and
limits of genetic data in genealogy, the reality of false-
paternity as a widespread phenomenon in genealogical
lines, and the vexing issues of incest and cousin-marriage.
A unique study of a neglected topic, Some Family
illuminates the stories that cultures tell themselves
through their family trees.
Donald Harman Akenson is Douglas Professor of
Canadian and Colonial History, Queen’s University, the
world’s leading scholar on the Irish diaspora, and the
author of several major works on the history of Judaism
and Christianity.

Film, Theory, and
Philosophy
The Key Thinkers
Edited by Felicity Colman
An invaluable collection of major
thinkers for students and teachers
of film and philosophy.
Thoroughly intertwined, film and philosophy have a
complex relationship between thought and perception,
time and memory, as well as social, political, and aesthetic
experiences. Philosophy has underpinned the creation of
cinema while cinema, in turn, has redefined philosophical
categories, rethought sex, gender, time and space, and
created new concepts that illuminate phenomenology,
metaphysics, and epistemology.
An ideal introduction for students, Film, Theory, and
Philosophy brings together leading scholars to provide
a clear, detailed overview of the key thinkers who have
shaped the field of film philosophy. From continental
philosophers to analytical philosophers, film-makers, film
reviewers, sociologists, and cultural theorists, the essays
reveal how philosophy can be applied to film analysis and
how film can be used to illustrate philosophical problems.
But most importantly, the essays explore how cinema has
shaped contemporary philosophy and how philosophy
has led to a reappraisal of film. This collection will prove
an invaluable reference and guide to readers interested
in a deeper understanding of the issues and insights
presented by the philosophy of film.

Time and Space
Second Edition
Barry Francis Dainton
Time and Space has quickly established itself as essential
course material for students and teachers dealing with
the philosophy of time and space. This fully revised and
expanded edition includes new chapters on Zeno’s para-
doxes, speculative contemporary developments in physics,
and dynamic time. Other chapters have been brought
fully up-to-date in the light of new research, making the
second edition unrivalled in its breadth of coverage.
Surveying both historical debates and modern physics,
Barry Dainton evaluates the central arguments in a clear
and unintimidating way that keeps conceptual issues
comprehensible to students with little scientific or
mathematical training and makes the philosophy of space
and time accessible to anyone trying to come to grips
with the complexities of this challenging subject. With
over 100 original line illustrations and a full glossary of
terms, Time and Space keeps the requirements of students
firmly in sight and will continue to serve as the ideal
textbook for philosophy of time and space courses.
Praise for the First Edition
“Indispensable … it’s very difficult to see how the job
of introducing time and space to the philosophically
interested could have been better done.”
–Philosophical Books
“An immensely rich and informative discussion. It
should be on all space and time reading lists, both
for philosophers and for physicists.”

 PHILOSOPHY
The Metaphysics of
Scientific Realism
Brian Ellis
A defining work on the scientific
chacterization of reality.
In The Metaphysics of Scientific Realism, Brian Ellis develops
the metaphysics of scientific realism to the point where it
begins to take on the characteristics of a first philosophy,
that is, a theory about the nature of reality that can rea-
sonably adjudicate on theories in other fields of enquiry
in which assumptions are made about the basic nature of
the world. Ellis shows that the original arguments that led
to scientific realism may be deployed more widely than
they were at first to fill out a more complete picture of
what there is.
Ellis shows that realistic theories of quantum mecha-
nics, time, causality and human freedom – all problematic
areas for the acceptance of scientific realism – can be
developed satisfactorily. In particular, he shows how
moral theory can be recast to fit within this comprehen-
sive metaphysical framework by developing a radical
moral theory that conceives morals to be social ideals and
has implications for key ethical concepts such as moral
responsibility, moral powers, moral rights, and moral
obligations.
The Metaphysics of Scientific Realism is a bold and
original development of the scientific characterization
of reality by one of the world’s leading metaphysicians
of science. It marks a significant contribution not only to
philosophy of science and metaphysics but also to the
search for a first philosophy.
Brian Ellis is professorial fellow in the Department
of History and Philosophy of Science at University of
Melbourne and emeritus professor of philosophy at
La Trobe University. His books include The Philosophy
of Nature: A Guide to the New Essentialism.

PHILOSOPHY
The New Pragmatism
Alan Malachowski
A brilliant overview of the development
of a key philosophical movement.
Some hundred years after its inception, pragmatism has
reclaimed centre stage, not just within philosophy but
also within intellectual culture as a whole. This book sets
out to explain what it is about pragmatism that makes
it such a distinctively attractive prospect to so many
thinkers, even in previously hostile traditions. Alan
Malachowski sets out in a clear and accessible manner
the original guiding thoughts behind the pragmatist
approach to philosophy and examines how these
thoughts have faired in the hands of those largely
responsible for the present revival: Hilary Putnam and
Richard Rorty.
The pragmatism that emerges from this exploration
of its “classic” and “new wave” forms is then assessed in
terms of both its philosophical potential and its wider
cultural contribution. Readers will finish the book with
a more secure grip on what pragmatism involves and a
correspondingly clearer grasp of what it has to offer and
what its current resurgence is all about.
“… Like the best pragmatists, the author shows a com-
mendable ability to link pragmatism provocatively and
imaginatively to a wide variety of non-philosophical
concerns. Malachowski is the Huxley of pragmatism:
Rorty’s bulldog.”
–Stephen Mullan, Queen’s University Belfast
Alan Malachowski teaches philosophy at the University
of Stellenbosch, South Africa. He is also honorary lecturer

Forgiveness Science
Eve Garrard and Steve Fuller

If science frames our lives, how should we relate to it?
How can we truly forgive? Steve Fuller’s lively and provocative book explores what it
might mean to live “scientifically.” Can science give a
sense of completeness to one’s life? Can it account for all
that it means to be human? And does science add value
to anything one does in life? In exploring these questions,
Fuller argues that science is undergoing its own version

How to Understand
Language
A Philosophical Inquiry
Bernhard Weiss
Why are philosophers, as opposed to, say, linguists and
psychologists, puzzled by language? How should we
attempt to shed philosophical light on the phenomenon
of language? How to Understand Language frames a
discussion in light of these two questions and begins
by thinking about the reasons that language is hard to
understand from a philosophical point of view. After
finding fault with approaches based on philosophical
analysis and on translation, Bernhard Weiss undertakes an
extended investigation of the program of constructing a
theory of meaning and emphasizes the importance of
use as fundamental in semantic theorizing.
An ambitious work that endorses a broad approach,
it argues strongly against the roles both of truth theory
and of radical interpretation. Weiss discusses a range of
relevant themes relating to language, including trans-
lation, interpretation, normativity, community, and rules
in order to reshape our understanding of language.
A rigorous and systematic analysis, How to Understand
Language advances the work of key thinkers in the area.

Social and Political Bonds
A Mosaic of Contrast
and Convergence
F.M. Barnard
Profound analysis of potential ways to
better balance governmental power and
the freedom of the people.
Is it possible to bridge the gap between the state’s secrecy
and the people who are ruled? Social and Political Bonds
argues that mediation between people and purposes,
parts and wholes, voluntariness and coercion, not only
can but must occur in a fair society and outlines a range
of strategies that can be used to join seemingly irrecon-
ciliable social and political contexts.
Warning specifically against official moralistic rhetoric,
the ignoring of civic demands, and hidden acts of power
by anonymous governmental bureaucracies and lobbyists,
F.M. Barnard uses an approach that blurs the boundaries
of specialized fields of study in order to recognize the
degree to which individual choice influences political
force. He also shows how any attempt to achieve a balance
between the state and society requires a developed
political judgement and a measured view of what can
be politically attained and demanded.
A masterfully clear work that synthesizes centuries of
political theory, Social and Political Bonds makes a power-
ful and well-reasoned case for the benefits of civic
involvement and governmental cooperation.

Circulation and the City
Essays on Urban Culture
Edited by Alexandra Boutros
and Will Straw
How does movement affect
the metropolis?
The lived experience of cities has long been defined by
motion. As urban dwellers travel to work, home, and play
they carve random or predictable pathways across
neighbourhoods and districts. Circulation and the City
investigates the urban capacity for movement, the city as
a space of circulation, by taking into account not only the
physical displacement of people but the circulation of
cultures, things, and ideas.
A series of rich case studies examine a range of topics,
including neighbourhood gentrification, subway busking,
yard sales, electronic waste, and language, refining the
touchstone principle of circulation for the study of urban
culture, both materially and theoretically. Contributors
employ a variety of disciplinary approaches to create a
richly varied picture of the multiple trajectories and
effects of movement in the city.
An engaging work that considers city planning, urban
culture, and social behaviour, Circulation and the City
adds a new dimension that revitalizes the ways we have
commonly looked at – and thought about – the city.

Perspectives on the Historical
European City
Edited by Glenn Clark,

A variety of new approaches are used to
look at the early modern European city.
Recent studies of the structure and everyday activities of
cities have highlighted the pluralism inherent in dense
populations and looked at crucial themes such as culture,
class, gender, governance, and social practices. City Limits
advances this work by offering richly detailed studies
of aspects of city life in such important early modern
European centres as London, Paris, Augsburg, Amsterdam,
Copenhagen, and Edinburgh.
In essays that capture the multiple aspects of urban
life, contributors examine European cities through the
lenses of history, literature, art, architecture, and music.
Covering topics such as governance, performance, high
culture and subculture, tourism, and journalism, this
volume provides new and invigorating ways to think
about cities both past and present.
An innovative and interdisciplinary work, City Limits
crosses conventional critical boundaries to depict a vibrant

Origins
On the Genesis of
Psychic Reality
Jon Mills
A provocative look at the role of the
unconscious that challenges scientific
theories about the mind.
The question of what constitutes psychic reality has been
of interest to philosophers and psychologists for as long
as humans have thought about the mind. In Origins, Jon
Mills presents a provocative challenge to contemporary
theories of the difference between the mind and body in
neuroscience. By re-examining our understanding of the
unconscious, he explains the birth of the psyche and
provides a detailed account of the ways in which
subjectivity is formed.
In the first comprehensive work to articulate a psycho-
analytic metaphysics based on process thought, the
author uses dialectical logic to show how the nature and
structure of mental life is constituted. Arguing that ego
development is produced not only by consciousness but
also evolves from unconscious genesis, he makes the
controversial claim that an unconscious semiotics serves
as the template for language and all meaning structures.
A thought-provoking account of idealism, Origins
confronts the limitations of materialism and empiricism
while salvaging the roles of agency and freedom that
have been neglected by the biological sciences.
Jon Mills is a philosopher, psychologist, psychoanalyst, and
author of numerous books, including The Unconscious
Abyss: Hegel’s Anticipation of Psychoanalysis.

Canada’s Big
Biblical Bargain
How McGill University Bought
the Dead Sea Scrolls
Jason Kalman
and Jaqueline S. du Toit
The story of Canada’s attempt to
purchase the greatest manuscript
discovery of the twentieth century.
The discovery in 1947 of the first pieces of the Dead Sea
Scrolls, biblical texts dating from the time of Jesus,
grabbed headlines around the world and catalyzed as
many controversies and conspiracy theories over their
ownership as debates about their place in Christianity
and Judaism. Years later McGill University and the Vatican
were among the first institutions to buy a significant
selection of these texts from Jordan in order to protect
them from the black market. Canada’s Big Biblical Bargain
recounts the nearly forgotten story of the complicated
purchase of these texts by McGill University and the
reasons they never arrived.
Providing many vibrant details, the authors examine
the intrigue surrounding the Dead Sea Scrolls and debunk
many of the myths about them, including allegations of
the Vatican’s involvement in hiding the texts from scholars,
the possibility that they contained earth shattering reve-
lations, and the actual status of the infamous inter-
national editorial committee who limited access to the
texts. A fascinating account of international relations,
religious negotiation, and scholars, Canada’s Big Biblical
Bargain reveals another part of the fascinating tale of
the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Caregiving on

Historical Perspectives
on Nursing and Midwifery
in Canada
Edited by Myra Rutherdale
Fascinating stories of the unconventional
work of nurses and midwives in Canada.
Women have played a crucial role in health and medicine
as nurses and midwives, particularly in remote geograph-
ical areas. Caregiving on the Periphery examines their
labours in a range of regions and contexts to present a
more comprehensive understanding of the variety of both
their medical work and the cultural conditions involved.
Assembling scholars from nursing, women’s studies,
geography, native studies, and history, this volume looks at
the experience of nurses in Newfoundland and Labrador,
northern Saskatchewan, northern British Columbia, and
the Arctic and features essays on topics such as Menno-
nite midwives in Western Canada, missionary nurses, and
Aboriginal nursing assistants in the Yukon. Contributors
illuminate the larger themes of religion, colonialism, social
divisions, and native-newcomer relations. Special atten-
tion is paid to nursing in Aboriginal communities and the
relations of race to medical work, particularly in connec-
tion to ideas of British ethnicity and conceptualized
meanings of “whiteness.”
An informative collection of fascinating works,
Caregiving on the Periphery provides insight into the
history of medicine in Canada and the long-established
importance of women for the country’s wellbeing.

ment’s attempts to “Canadianize” immi-
grants during the Second World War.
With the outbreak of the Second World War in Europe,
the Canadian government realized that the war effort
required not only invoking national consciousness but
also involving the twenty percent of the country’s
population who were not of British or French origins.
Managing the Canadian Mosaic in Wartime explores the
anxieties that characterized public debate and policy
making of the time as well as the pragmatic view that
the wartime project depended upon the successful
integration of marginalized immigrant communities.
This history provides a key to understanding the later
development of multiculturalism in Canada.
At the time, Canadian policies regarding ethnic com-
munities were preoccupied with the involvement and
loyalty these communities had with their homeland’s
politics and the fear of infiltration from either the left or
right of the political spectrum. Focusing on the creation
and operation of under-examined government institu-
tions and committees devised to exercise subtle control
of minority groups, Ivana Caccia explores the shaping
of Canadian identity, the introduction of government-
inspired citizenship education, and the management
of ethnic relations.
An engaging work that offers an important account
of nation building in Canada and the treatment of ethnic
minorities in times of heightened international tensions,
Managing the Canadian Mosaic in Wartime provides
crucial insights into multicultural policy and the possi-
bility of parallels with the preoccupations with security
and surveillance in the aftermath of 9/11.

Canadian history from the University of Ottawa.

The Strange Demise
of British Canada
The Liberals and Canadian
Nationalism, 1964–68
C.P. Champion
Did Canada come of age in the 1960s,
or does it remain a British country?
Among the fierce political debates in the 1960s between
Prime Ministers John Diefenbaker and Lester Pearson was
their disagreement about how Canada should be repre-
sented. When in power, Pearson seized the opportunity
to make a symbolic break with the British past, while
Diefenbaker became the self-appointed defender of the
country’s traditions. The Strange Demise of British Canada
examines the debate and the formative background of
the participants, and reconsiders whether Pearson’s
reforms were successful in ushering in a “New Canada”
for the 1967 Centennial.
Examining cases such as the introduction of the Maple
Leaf to replace the Canadian Red Ensign and Union Jack
as the national flag, Champion shows that, despite what
he calls Canada’s “crisis of Britishness,” Pearson and
his supporters unwittingly perpetuated a continuing
Britishness because they – and their ideals – were the
product of a British world. Using a fascinating array of
personal papers, memoirs, and contemporary sources,
this ground-breaking study demonstrates the ongoing
influence of Britishness in Canada and showcases the
personalities and views of some of the country’s most
important political and cultural figures.
An important study that provides a better
understanding of Canada, The Strange Demise of British
Canada also shows the lasting influence Britain has had
on its former colonies across the globe.
C.P. Champion holds a PhD in history from McGill
University and has advised the Canadian government
on citizenship, multiculturalism, and heritage policy.

The Ordinary People
of Essex
Environment, Culture, and
Economy on the Frontier
of Upper Canada
John Clarke
An overview of agricultural practices
and land use in early Canada.
How great is the environment’s role in shaping the history
of a region? The Ordinary People of Essex systematically
analyzes the use of land in Upper Canada, particularly the
influence of agricultural activity on the area. Presenting
the findings of an impressive collection of statistical data,
John Clarke creates a detailed map and rich history of the
region by tracking the successes and failures of land
practices commonly employed by settlers in Essex County.
Clarke covers a remarkable number of topics, including
geographic factors in the choice of agricultural land, land
acquisition and clearance, energy expended in clearing
and planting the land, and selection of specific crops and
their extent and yields in particular combinations of soils.
He also investigates the geographic parameters for wheat
production – which drove the local economy – and the
cultural origins of farmers as it relates to their use of
intensive and extensive agriculture.
Brimming with detail and expert analysis, The Ordinary
People of Essex is an illuminating study of settler life
and the conditions that make it possible to found a com-
munity. It complements the author’s award–winning
Land, Power, and Economics.

Technology and
Nationalism
Marco Adria
A study of technology and nationalism
and how they have shaped twenty-first
century Canada.
In Canada and around the world, online communication
has led to a new universal language. In Technology and
Nationalism Marco Adria argues that technology has
often played a decisive but unnoticed role in shaping the
ways in which citizens develop allegiances to regions and
nations. Presenting three case studies that demonstrate
how technology expands and strengthens regional
identities, Adria uses topical examples such as advanced
weapons for national defence and radio broadcasting
to offer a new perspective on the internet and its
developing relationship to social identity in Canada.
Revisiting Marshall McLuhan’s work on the ways that
technologies influence societies, Adria reconsiders the
effects technologies have had on Canadian regionalism
and nationalism. Offering key insights into media history,
the author outlines the influence that newspapers, radio,
and television have had in forming a mindset ready to
welcome the internet age.
As the digital revolution continues to shape the world
into a global village, Technology and Nationalism provides
a detailed and overdue reflection on the influence of
technology on the social and political bonds we form
and inhabit.

In the Province of History
The Making of the Public Past
in Twentieth-Century
Nova Scotia
Ian McKay and Robin Bates
How a region sells – and misrepresents –
its past.
Nova Scotia’s captivating natural beauty and important
place in the history of North America and the Atlantic
world make it a premier tourist destination for visitors
from around the world. From re-enactments at the Halifax
Citadel, monuments to the Explosion of 1917 and Pier 21,
and postcards of Peggy’s Cove and Cape Breton, the
province has cultivated a thriving tourism industry that
relies on constructing and marketing the history of the
area. In the Province of History studies Nova Scotia’s
long-standing initiatives to attract visitors, the ways in
which the region’s history has been presented and misre-
presented, and the extent to which even the province’s
residents have become tourists in their own lives
and towns.
Using archival sources, novels, government reports, and
works on tourism and heritage, Ian McKay and Robin Bates
look at how state planners, key politicians, and cultural
figures such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, long-time
premier Angus L. Macdonald, and novelist Thomas Raddall
were all instrumental in forming “tourism/ history.” The
authors argue that Longfellow’s 1847 poem Evangeline –
on the brutal British expulsion of Acadians from Nova
Scotia – became a template for a new kind of profit-
making history that exalted whiteness and excluded
ethnic minorities, women, and working class movements.
A remarkable look at the intersection of politics, leisure,
and the presentation of public history, In the Province of
History is a revealing account of how a region has both
used and distorted its own past.

Canadian Language Policies
in Comparative Perspective
Edited by Michael A. Morris
A systematic examination of language policies in Canada
based on domestic and international comparisons.
Language issues have been – and promise to continue to
be – at the heart of national political life in Canada. The
results of governmental language policy play a crucial role
in determining the unity of the country. However, despite
its importance, language policy is often difficult to
understand because it is part of a complicated political
terrain where numerous policies intersect. Canadian
Language Polices in Comparative Perspective presents a
long-required assessment of the field and utilizes a widely
recognized comparative method that makes this volume
the most systematic study of language issues available.
Capturing the dynamism of Canadian language
policies, the essays in this volume analyze and compare
the effects, histories, and features of language policies as
they have been enacted and implemented by Canadian
provincial and federal governments. The contributors’
comparisons reveal significant domestic and international
implications for language policy.
An important study of a social and political issue that
has immediate local, national, and international con-
sequences, Canadian Language Policies in Comparative
Perspective assembles knowledgeable authorities on
language policy to provide a comprehensive synthesis
of its consequences.

A Stability-Seeking Power
U.S. Foreign Policy and
Secessionist Conflicts
Jonathan Paquin
An insightful study of how America
handles independence movements
overseas.
Recent conflicts in Kosovo, Iraq, and Georgia have
reminded the world that secessionist conflicts will
continue to pose security challenges in the twenty-first
century. While the United States has been reluctant to
support independence movements within established
nation-states, in practice it has recognized more
secessionist states in the last twenty years than the
previous fifty years of the Cold War. A Stability-Seeking
Power provides key insights and analysis to explain this
inconsistency.
By examining several cases of U.S. management of
secessionist crises in the Balkans and Africa, Jonathan
Paquin shows that American foreign policy occasionally
recognizes break-away states if it believes that supporting
them will help re-establish regional stability. Analyzing
examples of such situations reveals that even though U.S.
policy apparently favours stable international borders,
Washington’s primary concern is not to maintain the
status quo but rather to seek stability.
An illuminating study of foreign policy, A Stability-
Seeking Power will have broad implications for under-
standing U.S. involvement in international affairs, and
assessing the security concerns that secessionist
conflicts raise.

Canadian Pentecostalism
Transition and Transformation
Edited by Michael Wilkinson
A comprehensive examination of the
formation, transition, and transformation
of Canadian Pentecostalism in relation
to globalization.
One of the most significant transformations in twentieth-
century Christianity is the emergence and development of
Pentecostalism. With over five hundred million followers,
it is the fastest-growing denomination in the world. An
incredibly diverse movement, it has influenced many
sectors of Christianity, flourishing in Africa, Latin America,
and Asia and having an equally significant effect on
Canada.
Bringing together a previously scattered and some-
what hidden literature, Canadian Pentecostalism provides
the first comprehensive overview of the subject. The
collection is broad in focus, examining classical Pentecos-
talism, charismatic movements in the Roman Catholic and
mainline Protestant traditions, and neo-Pentecostalism.
Contributing authors examine historical debates about
the origins of the movement, the response of Pente-
costalism to institutionalization and globalization, and
the roles of women, indigenous peoples, and immigrants
within the Canadian movement.

“… With this collection of disparate yet interconnected
essays, the editor has provided a useful service to both
Pentecostals, as they think about their origins and
prospects, and non-Pentecostals desiring to understand
the presence and growing influence of Pentecostals.”

Into Deep Waters
Evangelical Spirituality and
Maritime Calvinistic Baptist
Ministers, 1790–1855
Daniel C. Goodwin
How two generations of preachers and
parishioners created and sustained
a religious tradition.
Forged in Nova Scotia’s First and Second Great Awakenings
under the guidance of populist preachers – later called
“Fathers” – the Maritime Calvinistic Baptist tradition was
a vibrant evangelical force. Into Deep Waters challenges
the prevailing notion that formalization of evangelical
groups in early-nineteenth century Canada led to spiritual
decline, arguing that the movement maintained its vital
spirituality even after denominational structures were
put in place.
Maritime Calvinistic Baptist piety emerged from a
fusion of revivalism and conversion, and introduced
dramatic baptisms by immersion. Rapid Baptist growth
was one force leading Anglicans, Methodists, and
Presbyterians to initiate a spiritual polemical exchange
over baptism. By examining the lives and work of six
Baptist preachers and theologians, Into Deep Waters
illuminates the ways in which the second generation of
Baptist preachers not only defended their tradition in
lively debates but argued for a broadly based under-
standing of their spirituality and ministry, rooted in the
practice of the Fathers.
In an age when denominational identities in North
America are often portrayed as ineffectual, Into Deep
Waters is a timely reminder that religious traditions can
adapt, change, and inspire renewal.

Shouting, Embracing, and
Dancing with Ecstasy
The Growth of Methodism in
Newfoundland, 1774–1874
Calvin Hollett
An impressive study of the important
role common people play in reviving
faith.
In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries,
Newfoundlanders, who often lived in small, mobile
communities where they supported themselves with
strenuous work and ingenuity, increasingly broke
away from Anglicanism to find joy and comfort in the
Methodist tradition. In this remarkable study of a region’s
reasons for changing how they practiced their faith,
Shouting, Embracing, and Dancing with Ecstasy presents
a unique perspective on the histories of Methodism
and Newfoundland.
Contesting previous historical scholarship, Calvin
Hollett argues that the growth in Methodism was not
the result of clergy-dominated missionary work intended
to rescue a degenerated populace. Instead, the author
shows how Methodism flourished as a people’s move-
ment in which believers in coastal locations were free
to experience individual and communal rapture and
welcomed at lay revivals in more populous areas.
An insightful look at the growth of a religion, Shouting,
Embracing, and Dancing with Ecstasy reasserts the impor-
tance of laypeople in religious matters, while detailing
successful ways to bring the religious experience into
daily life.
Calvin Hollett received his PhD in history from Memorial
University and is a specialist in rare Newfoundland books.

Not Quite Supreme
The Courts and Coordinate
Constitutional Interpretation
Dennis Baker
A critique of the Supreme Court of
Canada’s power and a defence of
Parliament’s role in constitutional
interpretation.
Canadians have come to accept that the Supreme Court
of Canada’s interpretation of the Charter of Rights
and Freedoms reigns supreme. In Not Quite Supreme,
Dennis Baker challenges this assumption and outlines
a framework for an alternative judicial model in which
Parliament’s interpretations of the Charter share equal
legitimacy and authority with the Court.
Baker argues that coordinate interpretation – a model
which requires both elected and appointed officials to
interpret the Charter – allows for the creation of a more
robust democracy, alleviating some of the tension be-
tween constitutionalism and democracy while limiting
judicial activism. Drawing on literature from Montesquieu
to recent court decisions, Not Quite Supreme gives an
extensive critique of both Canadian and American
judicial models and explores the tensions between the
separation of powers in both countries.
Not Quite Supreme is a fresh and substantial contribu-
tion to the debate, advancing a new argument in support
of a more diverse tradition of legal decision making in
Canada that makes the constitution, rather than indivi-
dual decisions of the Court, its cornerstone.

The Canadian Economy
in the Great Depression
Third Edition
A.E. Safarian
With a new preface by the author
A classic work on Canada’s Great
Depression with insights for the current
global financial crisis.
Since the collapse of the global financial markets in 2008,
economists and commentators have looked back to the
Great Depression of the 1930s to discover similarities
and solutions for recovery. Contributing to this crucial
moment, renowned economist A.E. Safarian has added a
new preface to his classic study of the Great Depression,
discussing the present crisis and suggesting ways in
which future crises might be avoided.
Essential reading for economists, historians, and
politicians, The Canadian Economy in the Great Depression
is the definitive study of the country’s worst period of
economic failure, covering the period from the stock
market’s rise in the roaring 1920s, through the Great
Crash, to the destitution of the 1930s and the eventual
economic recovery. Countless students, journalists, and
political leaders, including current US Federal Reserve
Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, have used it to better com-
prehend the complicated nature and history of the
markets. With remarkable clarity Safarian untangles the
web of relations that led to – and sustained – the Great
Depression while also examining the economic controls
and stimuli put in place during the Depression and how
and why these measures failed.
This new edition introduces The Canadian Economy
in the Great Depression to a new generation, particularly
those concerned about the possibility of another Great
Depression.

Toronto.

Neoliberalism and
Everyday Life
Edited by Susan Braedley
and Meg Luxton
A penetrating analysis and critique of
the neoliberal policies that prompted
the global economic crisis of 2008.
Perhaps the most baffling and insufficiently answered
questions about the neoliberal policies that fuelled the
economic crash in the fall of 2008 are why were these
policies considered the only option? And why, despite the
crash, does neoliberalism continue to dominate the world
economy. Neoliberalism and Everyday Life provides answers.
Illuminating the ways in which neoliberal policies –
such as the deregulation of economies and the transfer of
governmental responsibilities to the private sector – have
been implemented on a global scale, the contributors
show how neoliberalism has seeped into our social and
political fabric and affected our daily lives. Drawing
attention to the most visible elements of neoliberalism
in business, government, and personal life, contributors
reveal the ways in which policies designed to ensure
market expansion also inevitably expand social inequal-
ities of gender, race, class, and ability. Using a variety of
methods, contributors discuss a range of topics, including
globalization, privatization, health care, and the welfare
state.
An intelligent and informative collection that explains
and challenges neoliberal policies, Neoliberalism and
Everyday Life is an important assessment of a political
system that makes profit easier and people’s lives more
difficult.

Island Enclaves
Offshoring Strategies, Creative
Governance, and Subnational
Island Jurisdictions
Godfrey Baldacchino
An examination of the unique governance
of islands and their role in contemporary
global politics.
Islands have a unique hold on our imagination as intrigu-
ing places where – as Thomas More and Jonathan Swift
showed in their fiction – fantastic utopic or dystopic worlds
are possible. Perhaps such ideas developed because we
are implicitly aware of the unique political and social
arrangements that can be designed when a region is so
distinctly separate. Island Enclaves highlights the idiosyn-
cratic forms of governance that occur in places that are
both a part of, and apart from, national boundaries.
Examining subnational island jurisdictions such as
Guantánamo Bay, Macau, Aruba, the Isle of Man, and
Prince Edward Island, Godfrey Baldacchino shows how
these distinct locales arrange special relationships with
larger metropolitan powers. He also deals with the poli-
tics, economics, and diplomacy of islands that have been
engineered as detention camps, offshore finance centres,
military bases, heritage parks, or otherwise autonomous
regions.
More than a study of how detached regions are
governed, Island Enclaves displays the ways in which these
jurisdictions are pioneering some of the modern world’s
most creative – and shadowy – forms of sovereignty and
government.

Thought provoking perspectives on
attempts to change government.
The public service has changed more dramatically during
the past several decades than ever before. Reviewing
these changes, Comparative Administration Change and
Reform presents contributions from top international
experts on public management and public administration
to provide a global assessment of reform and the lessons
governments can learn from previous policies.
Providing important insights into the origins of policy
ideas, the qualities and capabilities of leaders, the nature
and challenges of large organizational changes, and the
complexity of efforts to evaluate the outcomes of reform,
the contributors consider aspects of public administration
reform in countries such as Canada, Thailand, Mexico, and
China as well as the ways in which changes have been
shaped by global forces, national values, traditions, and
culture.
An invaluable work for understanding the new chal-
lenges faced by the governments around the world,
Comparative Administration Change and Reform offers a
clear analysis of both the successes and failures of reform
and should be read by anyone interested in politics, admin-
istration, and public sector reform.

Education in Canada
Economic, Social and
Policy Dimensions
Edited by Ross Finnie,
Marc Frenette, Richard E. Mueller,
and Arthur Sweetman
A helpful study of pertinent issues
relating to university education.
Higher education is a life-changing event for many
individual Canadians and is vital to the economic pros-
perity of the nation as a whole. Pursuing Higher Education
in Canada provides answers to important questions such
as who attends the country’s colleges and universities,
and why? What happens after students begin their study,
and what factors lead to the outcomes observed?
Empirical evidence is foundational for informed public
discussion and policy making and the papers in this
volume shed new light on these important aspects of
post-secondary education in Canada. They comprise
rigorous – yet accessible – information that is presented
and interpreted in a clear policy context.
Aboriginal and immigrant access, student financial aid,
gender gaps, the impacts of economic cycles, high school
and university grades, home environment and family
habits, and other topics related to post-secondary parti-
cipation are addressed. This book is useful for policy
makers, students, faculty, and anyone interested in the
the most important issues concerning post-secondary
education.

Canadian Immigration
Economic Evidence for a Dynamic Policy Environment
Edited by Ted McDonald, Elizabeth Ruddick,
Arthur Sweetman, and Christopher Worswick
Purposeful case studies on policy, immigration, and economics.
Over the last few decades, in stark contrast to the situ-
ation of previous generations, immigrants to Canada have
suffered from a marked decline in economic outcomes.
As a result, economic and social issues regarding immi-
gration are at the forefront of the Canadian policy agenda.
Canadian Immigration assists in the crucial task of expand-
ing the evidence base for decisions on new immigration
and integration of immigrants by presenting a series of
rigorous empirical investigations relating to the econo-
mics of immigration.
The contributors to this volume showcase their exper-
tise by providing updates on the impacts that closely
related economic and social factors have on immigration
policy and recently arrived immigrants. These essays
consider a range of timely topics, including temporary
foreign workers, employment, self-employment, educa-
tion, and earnings trajectories.

Life After Forty
Official Languages Policy
in Canada
Edited by Jack Jedwab
and Rodrigue Landry
A re-examination of the lasting affects
of bilingualism in Canada.
The year 2009 marks forty years since the introduction
of Canada’s Official Languages Act. In 1969, English and
French were declared the country’s two official languages
and there has been ongoing debate about how best to
establish harmonious relations between English- and
French-speaking Canadians. The Official Languages Act
significantly expanded opportunities to secure services in
the two official languages throughout Canada, attempted
to improve the situation of official language minorities,
and encouraged the population to learn the two official
languages. Achieving these objectives has not been
simple. While public support has grown over time, some
observers believe the legislation has gone too far while
others believe it has not gone far enough.
Life After Forty, edited by Jack Jedwab and Rodrigue
Landry, includes essays from several of the country’s
leading experts, who assess the effectiveness of Canada’s
Official Languages Act and propose ways in which it can
meet future challenges in addressing the language
situation. Specific focus is directed to the impact of the
legislation on the condition of official language minorities
in Canada and the degree of bilingualism of the
population.

Helping Hands and
Loaded Arms
Navigating the Military
and Humanitarian Space
Second Edition
Edited by Sarah Jane Meharg
A look at the clash between the world’s
military and relief organizations.
In this age of violent armed conflicts and international
interventions – made more complex by terrorism, insur-
gencies, and the militarization of humanitarian aid – the
age of neutral, impartial, and independent humanitarian
space may have passed. Drawing on the diverse perspec-
tives of international law, psychology, cultural geography,
security and defence, policy analysis, and development
studies, Helping Hands and Loaded Arms provides a
foundation for better navigation of the space in which
military and humanitarian organizations find themselves.
This volume is the outcome of a high-level consultation
that brought together individuals involved with the
military, police, and humanitarian organizations as well as
academics and government policy-makers to discuss the
shifting landscape of international interventions into
conflict environments. Intended for all those engaged in
analyzing global peace and security issues using a multi-
disciplinary approach, this new edition has been updated
and expanded to include policy recommendations for
stakeholder approaches as well as advancing the thinking
on field practice in general.

Canada: The State of the Federation, 2009
Carbon Pricing and Environmental Federalism
Edited by Thomas J. Courchene and John R. Allan
An informative overview of the politics of green house
gas emissions.
Climate change that is attributable to global warming
has emerged as one of the most significant public-policy
issues for governments in the twenty-first century.
Respecting neither intranational nor international
boundaries, the emissions giving rise to the problem
are especially difficult to combat in multi-level states
such as Canada, where environmental responsibility is
shared by the federal and provincial governments.
Initially prepared for an Institute of Intergovernmental
Relations conference jointly sponsored by the Institute
for Energy and Environmental Policy and Sustainable
Prosperity, the papers presented here are by an out-
standing group of those actively involved in conducting
research and developing policy in this contested area. The
issues are analyzed from legal, economic, and political
perspectives, with particular attention paid to inter-
governmental and international aspects.

The 2009 Federal Budget
Challenge, Response
and Retrospect
Edited by Charles M. Beach,
Bev Dahlby, and Paul A.R. Hobson
A critical evaluation of the 2009
federal budget, including major tax
and program changes.
The 2009 federal budget followed dramatic financial
shocks, the onslaught of a major economic recession,
changes in the fiscal health of the major provinces, and
the installation of a new political regime in Washington
with a different policy perspective. Under such circum-
stances, there is a need to examine how the budget
responded to these challenges and addresses current
economic conditions and political realities, as well as
how it fits with the fiscal direction and priorities of the
Harper government.
The papers in this volume examine the political and
economic context informing the 2009 budget and provide
a quantitative evaluation of the impact of the overall
budget package on the Canadian economy. Special atten-
tion is devoted to topics such as the economic stimulus
and stabilization provisions in the budget, specific tax
policy changes, financial market provisions, fiscal sus-
tainability of the budget deficits, cost-sharing and federal-
provincial fiscal relations, federal equalization transfers
since the O’Brien Report, Canada’s declining social safety
net and EI reform, social policy and anti-poverty provi-
sions, alternative approaches to environmental protection
and green initiatives, and emerging fiscal challenges.

Canada’s Isotope Crisis
What Next?
Edited by Jatin Nathwani
and Donald Wallace
Should Canada get back into the
radioactive isotope business?
Canada urgently requires a rigorous debate on the
strategic options for ensuring a robust, reliable, and
affordable supply of radioactive isotopes. Should the
debate be confined to how Canada can best develop the
necessary technologies solely for our own use or should
Canada abandon the idea of producing its own isotope
supply and any future aspirations to serve the global
market? Canada’s Isotope Crisis focuses on the central
policy question: do we dare to try to shape the future or
do we retreat into silence because we are not prepared
to make the necessary investments for the future well-
being of Canadians?
This volume showcases pointed essays and analysis
from members of the academy and individuals who
have made contributions to the development of medical
isotopes and pioneered their use in medical practice. It
also includes commentary from those involved in the
production, manufacturing, processing, and distribution
of isotopes. Canada’s Isotope Crisis is a multi-disciplinary
effort that addresses the global dimension of isotope
supply and combines expert opinions on the present
and past with knowledge of the relevant government
agencies and the basis for their decisions at critical
junctures.

Essays in honour of one of Canada’s
finest scholars of public policy.
A disciplinary builder, a generous mentor, and an aca-
demic pioneer, Bruce Doern built much of the empirical
and conceptual foundation for Canadian public policy
and administrative studies today. Policy: From Ideas to
Implementation, inspired and influenced by his body of
work, offers invaluable guidance for studying the political
realities of our collective tomorrows by reassessing and
advancing Doern’s contributions and innovations.
Assembling an informed group of scholars, this volume
focuses on the study and practice of central agencies,
regulation, budgeting, energy and science policy, and
governing instruments. A overview that looks beyond
Doern’s tremendous body of work, Policy: From Ideas to

Recession, Realignment, and the New Deficit Era
Edited by G. Bruce Doern and Christopher Stoney
Fresh takes on the recession and the federal
minority government.
Continuing the excellent standards and traditions of
timely scholarship, the 2010–2011 edition of How Ottawa
Spends critically examines national politics, priorities, and
policies with emphasis on federal economic and social
spending. Given the political and budgetary challenges
posed by the recession, this year’s instalment pays close
attention to the growing fiscal deficit.
Informed authors from across Canada examine
recession-related policy fields, including the Canadian
banking system, new industrial policy pressures such
as the automotive industry bailout, policies in science,
technology, and innovation, and suggestions about how
to resist the United States’“buy America” trade policies.
The chapters in this volume also consider Canada’s
national, regional, and political divisiveness, the impact
of the dynamic Obama Administration on Canadian
domestic affairs, and governance during a time of
minority government.

Economic Upheaval and Political Dysfunction
Edited by Allan M. Maslove
Early Harper budgets and the promises not kept in a beleaguered

This volume of How Ottawa Spends is the thirtieth annual

years have Canadians faced as serious economic upheaval
and political dysfunction as the current climate. The dra-
matic and seemingly sudden changes in the economy
occurred simultaneously with a political drama – one
that was largely disassociated from the real and pressing

Diversity and Unity in
Federal Countries
Edited by Luis Moreno
and César Colino
With the recent emergence of large-scale transnational
migrant networks, diversity has become a central issue
in domestic and international politics. Debates among
academics, politicians, and the general public over the
accommodation of diversity have revealed both chal-
lenges and opportunities for federal countries facing
demands that minorities have equal rights, protection,
and full participation in the public sphere. Not all federal
countries have the same configuration of diversity and
different institutional responses and strategies can be
observed in the twelve federal countries considered:
Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Ethiopia, Germany,
India, Nigeria, Russian, Spain, Switzerland, and the United
States of America.
In Diversity and Unity in Federal Countries, leading
scholars and practitioners analyse the current political,
socio-economic, spatial, and cultural diversity in the
countries under consideration before delving into the role
that social, historical, and political factors have had in
shaping the balance of diversity and unity. The authors
assess the value placed on diversity by examining
whether present institutional arrangements and public
policies restrict or enhance diversity and address the
future challenges of balancing diversity and unity in
an increasingly populated and mobile world.

 LITERARY STU DI ES • CRITICISM
Stories of the
Middle Space
Reading the Ethics of
Postmodern Realisms
Deborah C. Bowen
A faith-based approach to postmodern
literature and critical theory.
Postmodernism’s critics often accuse the movement of
being dangerously amoral due to its apparent wariness
of concepts such as truth, ethics, and justice. Stories of the
Middle Space explores the possibility of “postmodernism-
with-a-conscience” and examines a variety of British and
Canadian postmodern fiction to show how twentieth-
century critical theory can be brought into fruitful dia-
logue with a faith-based perspective.
Highlighting the wide variety of ethical concerns con-
sidered by writers such as Timothy Findley, Thomas King,
Carol Shields, Julian Barnes, A.S. Byatt, and Salman Rushdie,
Deborah Bowen makes the case for a new category of
“postmodern realism” and shows how contemporary
stories about “the real” and “the good” are constructed.
Applying theoretical insights from Emmanuel Levinas
and Mikhail Bakhtin, Bowen investigates categories of
postmodern realism such as magic realism, parody, and
metafiction while laying the groundwork for Christian
readings of a medium that is often perceived as largely
irreligious.
An illuminating study of well-known contemporary
writers, Stories of the Middle Space is a critically nuanced
and methodologically innovative work that reads the
postmodern from a faith-based perspective to create
new literary insights.

Virgil the Blind Guide
Marking the Way through
the Divine Comedy
Lloyd H. Howard
A non-traditional approach that
traces hidden routes through Dante’s
Commedia, opening new ways to
assess Virgil’s guiding authority.
Few literary figures are as inseparable as Dante and Virgil.
In a fresh approach to Dante’s Commedia, Lloyd Howard
follows the directional markers provided by repeated
rhyme schemes and groups of words, revealing an entirely
new way to look at Virgil’s journey through the famous
epic.
Virgil the Blind Guide examines the repetition of certain
linguistic configurations that have remained hidden be-
cause the meanings of the words involved do not relate to
Virgil’s competence as guide. Uncovering tropes that have
yet to be studied, Howard allows us to see new junctures
in the poet’s travels, while highlighting Virgil’s impotence
and diminishing his authority as regards other poets,
guides, and the demons of Hell’s lower gate. The concealed
route revealed by Dante’s figurative signposts establishes
Virgil’s traits as foundational to the poem and allows
for new perspectives and understandings of this critical
character.
Using this distinctive strategy, Virgil the Blind Guide
helps us to piece together the complex puzzle that is
Dante’s pagan guide and suggests new ways of under-
standing important characters that are applicable to
a broad range of poetry and prose.

Russian Émigrés in the Intellectual and
Literary Life of Inter-War France
A Bibliographical Essay
Leonid Livak
An encyclopedic bibliography of material published in the cultural
exchange between French intellectuals and Russian exiles who fled
the Soviet Union.
At the outbreak of the Russian Revolution many of the
country’s intelligentsia followed in the footsteps of
previous political exiles by emigrating to France. Nearly
one hundred thousand Russians emigrated between the
First and Second World Wars, leading one French observer
to remark, “almost all of Russia’s brain will stay in France
for a while.” Russian Émigrés in the Intellectual and Literary
Life of Inter-War France is a sweeping account of the ways
in which waves of anti-Soviet immigrants left a lasting
impression on the culture of France.
In a pioneering exploration of the intellectual and
literary exchange between Russian émigrés and French
intelligentsia in the 1920s and 1930s, Leonid Livak provides
an impressively comprehensive bibliographic overview
of a veritable “who’s who” of Russian intellectuals and
literati, listing all the material published by Russian
émigrés or on topics pertaining to them during the period
under study. Focusing attention on a largely ignored
chapter of European cultural history, this volume chal-
lenges historical assumptions by demonstrating processes
of cultural cross-fertilization and illuminates the pre-
cedents Russians set for political exiles in the twentieth
century.
A remarkable achievement in scholarship, Russian
Émigrés in the Intellectual and Literary Life of Inter-War
France is a valuable resource for admirers and researchers
of French and Russian culture and European intellectual
history.

and literatures at the University of Toronto.

Canada and Its Americas
Transnational Navigations
Edited by Winfried Siemerling
and Sarah Phillips Casteel
A cutting edge study of the relation of
Canadian literature to the Americas.
In the last few decades Canadian and Québécois litera-
tures have been catapulted onto the global stage, gaining
international readership and recognition. Canada and Its
Americas challenges the convention that study of this
literature should be limited to its place within national
borders, arguing that these works should be examined
from the perspective of their place and influence within
the Americas as a whole.
The chapters in this volume, a groundbreaking work
in the burgeoning field of hemispheric American studies,
expand the horizons of Canadian and Québécois litera-
tures, suggest alternative approaches to models centred
on the United States, and analyze the risks and benefits
of hemispheric approaches to Canada and Quebec. Reveal-
ing the connections among a broad range of Canadian,
Québécois, American, Caribbean, Latin American, and
diasporic literatures, the contributors critique the neglect
of Canadian works in Hemispheric studies and show
how such writing can be successfully integrated into an
emerging area of literary inquiry.
An important development in understanding the
diversity of literatures throughout the western hemi-
sphere, Canada and Its Americas reveals exciting new ways
for thinking about transnationalism, regionalism, border
cultures, and the literatures they produce.

 RELIGIOUS STU DI ES • LITERARY TH EORY
Saints Alive
Word, Image, and Enactment
in the Lives of the Saints
David Williams
How do we know what we know
about saints?
There is a long tradition of telling the story of the life and
death of a saint in a written biographical account known
as a hagiography; such accounts have often been seen as
providing the basis for what we know about saints. Saints
Alive advances the discussion of conceptions of sainthood
by arguing that written text is only one step in the gradual
construction of a more holistic text that includes visual
iconography as well as the venerating performances of
a saint’s devotees.
David Williams shows that images associated with
saints are not simply illustrations of written accounts,
nor are the gestures, prayers, and liturgical practices of
devotees of saints’ cults simply derivative of them. Rather,
images and enactments expand and complete the text,
adding visual and dramatic dimensions. Williams
demonstrates his ideas through discussion and case
studies of three saints: the biblical figure of Saint Anne,
mother of the Virgin; the medieval English martyr Saint
Thomas Becket; and Saint Maximillian Mary Kolbe, who
gave his life to save that of another in the Auschwitz
concentration camp.
A remarkable study of text, image, and enactment,
Saints Alive presents a complete study of the depiction of
saints that will change the way they are understood.
David Williams is McGill Professor Emeritus and author of
several books, including Deformed Discourse: The Function

Spirited Commitment
The Samuel and Saidye
Bronfman Family Foundation
Roderick MacLeod
and Eric John Abrahamson
An institutional history of one of Canada’s
premier philanthropic organizations.
Liquor baron and long-time president of the Canadian
Jewish Congress Samuel Bronfman and his fellow
philanthropist and wife, Saidye, were influential figures
in the history of Montreal and left a global legacy that
continues to advance cultural, social, legal, political, and
Jewish causes. One aspect of their contribution to society
is a leading Canadian philanthropic organization, the
Samuel and Saidye Bronfman Family Foundation (SSBFF).
Showing how the SSBFF has balanced its commitments
to Jewish charitable causes and to Canadian culture,
Spirited Commitment explores how the Foundation dealt
with the challenge of respecting the wishes of its famous
founders while still making a difference in contemporary
Canadian society. A detailed account of the Foundation’s
numerous programs over three decades – including the
Centre for Cultural Management and the Saidye Bronfman
Centre – Spirited Commitment highlights the innovations
that SSBFF grants have led to in the arts, community
development, and scientific research.
An illuminating and vibrant portrait of the person-
alities, motivations, and strategies behind the Samuel and
Saidye Bronfman Family Foundation, Spirited Commitment
is a revealing, insightful account of the inner workings of
philanthropic foundations.
Roderick MacLeod is a freelance historian and editor who
has written extensively on Quebec social and institutional
history. Eric John Abrahamson is a business and institu-
tional historian who is a fellow with the Institute for
Applied Economics and Study of Business Enterprise
at Johns Hopkins University.

Beyond the Indian Act
Restoring Aboriginal
Property Rights
Tom Flanagan, Christopher
Alcantara, and André Le Dressay
Foreword by C.T. (Manny) Jules
Should Canada’s First Nations have full
ownership of reservation lands?
While land claims made by Canada’s aboriginal peoples
continue to attract attention and controversy, there has
been almost no discussion of the ways in which First
Nations lands are managed and the property rights that
have been in place since the Indian Act of 1876. Beyond the
Indian Act looks at these issues and questions whether
present land practices have benefited Canada’s aboriginal
peoples. Challenging current laws and management, this
illuminating work proposes the creation of a new system
that would allow First Nations to choose to have full
ownership of property, both individually and collectively.
The authors not only investigate the current forms of
property rights on reservations but also expose the
limitations of each system, showing that customary rights
are insecure, certificates of possession cannot be sold
outside the First Nation, and leases are temporary. As
well, analysis of legislation, court decisions, and economic
reports reveals that current land management has led
to unnecessary economic losses. The authors propose
creation of a First Nations Property Ownership Act that
would make it possible for First Nations to take over full
ownership of reserve lands from the Crown, arguing that
permitting private property on reserves would provide
increased economic advantages.

A Knight in Politics
A Biography of
Sir Frederick Borden
Carman Miller
The story of an imperial statesman and
military reformer who modernized
Canada’s armed forces.
Sir Frederick Borden (1847–1917), physician and entrepre-
neur, was Canada’s longest-serving minister of defence.
His untidy private life, however, often captured more
attention than his public service. A Knight in Politics
explores the history of the controversial public figure who
led Canada’s armed forces through the South African War,
expanded and modernized the country’s military from
1896 to 1911, and prepared them for service in the First
World War.
Derided as a buffoon and an ignorant civilian by mili-
tary critics, Borden became the public’s lightning rod and
Prime Minster Wilfrid Laurier’s point man for negotiating
Canada’s sensitive military agenda during an era of high
imperialism. Carman Miller presents a balanced assess-
ment that seamlessly blends history and social and
cultural analysis to highlight Borden’s relationships within
the contemporary web of nepotism, patronage, business,
and family.
A detailed account of the leading role Borden played
in the development of modern Canada, A Knight in Politics
showcases the transition to corporate capitalism and
changes in public morality and social and political
relationships during the “Age of Camelot.”
Carman Miller is a professor of history at McGill University
and author of several books, including Painting the Map
Red: Canada and the South African War, 1899–1902.

One of the Boys
Homosexuality in the Military
during World War II
Second Edition
Paul Jackson
A new edition of a book that has
changed the way we think about sexual
conduct and combat.
Homosexuality and military service have made strange
bedfellows over the last hundred years. Military leaders
have generally seen homosexuals as unmanly, immoral,
and – according to the U.S. military – a threat to unit
cohesion, a claim that continues to prop up the contro-
versial “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. Struggles for equal
rights have not been limited to the United States: during
the Second World War, the Canadian military was acutely
concerned with homosexuality and, as the war progressed,
senior military brass became increasingly determined to
rid the services of those engaged in “disgraceful conduct
of an indecent kind.”
Using a wide array of sources – including long-closed
court martial records, psychiatric and personnel files, unit
war diaries, films, and oral histories – Paul Jackson relates
the struggle of queer servicemen of all ranks and branches
of the Canadian military to fit in to avoid losing their
careers and reputations. He argues that even though
homosexual men were often accepted and popular within
their units, if they were accused of homosexual behaviour,
they were subjected to psychiatric assessments, courts-
martial proceedings, prison terms, and dishonourable
discharges.
An influential and eye-opening study, the author has
updated this critically acclaimed work with a new preface
that considers depictions of soldiers serving in the war in
Afghanistan and the continued silence about homosexual
servicemen and women.
Paul Jackson is a writer who lives in Montreal.

Patriotic Elaborations
Essays in Practical Philosophy
Charles Blattberg
How and understanding of dialogue
supports original approaches to politics,
ethics, religion, and aesthetics
How might we mend the world? Charles Blattberg sug-
gests a “new patriotism,” one that reconciles conflict
through a form of dialogue that prioritizes conversation
over negotiation and the common good over victory. This
patriotism can be global as well as local, left as well
as right.
Blattberg’s is a genuinely original philosophical voice.
The essays collected here discuss how to re-conceive the
political spectrum, where “deliberative deomocrats”
go wrong, why human rights language is tragically
counterproductive, how nationalism is not really secular,
how many nations should share a single state, a new
approach to the Arab-Israeli conflict, and why Canada
might have something to teach about the “war on terror.”
We also learn about the right way to deny a role to
principles in ethics, how to distinguish between the good
and the beautiful, the way humor works, the rabbinic
nature of modernism, the difference between good,
bad, great, and evil, why Plato’s dialogues are not really
dialogues, and why most philosophers are actually artists.
“A serious, thought-provoking, and interesting collection
of insights that reflects a profound and intimate
acquaintance with an impressive range of scholars,
philosophers, artists, and authors. Blattberg is a creative
thinker, often poetic.”
–Dan Avnon, Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Charles Blattberg is associate professor, Department of
Political Science, Université de Montréal. Educated at
Toronto, McGill, the Sorbonne, and Oxford, he is the author
of From Pluralist to Patriotic Politics: Putting Practice First

Adolescent Health
Policy, Science, and
Human Rights
Edited by William Boyce,
Jennifer Roche, and Diane Davies
Why youth health policy lacks coherence.
Current policy initiatives that address the health of youth,
a group where more than one set of developmental stan-
dards may apply, often are based on conflicting evidence.
At the same time, the UN Convention on the Rights of
the Child has provided an over-arching ethical framework
with the goal of ensuring that all children and youth have
equal human rights, regardless of their personal or family
circumstances. How do these approaches coincide and
are they working?
In Adolescent Health a contemporary setting is used to
illustrate the intersection of evidence and ethics in policy
making. Individual chapters describe the social deter-
minants of youth health (chronic conditions, ethnicity,
family income, school and peer relationships) and youth
health behaviours and outcomes (substance use, violence,
sexual and physical activity). Within this broad landscape
of youth health issues, the authors apply the human
rights principles of the Convention to their research to
illustrate the often competing frameworks of evidence
and ethics.

Identity Captured by Law
Membership in Canada’s
Indigenous Peoples and
Linguistic Minorities
Sébastien Grammond
How the law decides who the members
of minority groups are while avoiding
discrimination and respecting self-
determination.
In Canada, indigenous peoples and official-language
minorities benefit from certain rights that are not
available to the rest of the population, but exactly who
can claim membership in these groups remains a con-
troversial issue. Protecting a group’s culture and resources
is often seen to be at odds with the freedom of individuals
to claim membership in that group.
In Identity Captured by Law, Sébastien Grammond
explains how minority rights make identity legally rele-
vant, providing a detailed account of struggles that have
been fought concerning Indian status and admission to
minority-language schools. Setting his analysis of the law
in the wider interdisciplinary context of anthropology and
political theory, Grammond assesses whether a group’s
membership rules are an accurate reflection of their
ethnicity and are based on sound justifications of minor-
ity rights. He argues that membership rules do not violate
equality rights if there is sufficient correspondence be-
tween the legal criteria that determine membership and
the group’s own cultural or relational conceptions of their
ethnic identity.
Comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and original in its
comparison of indigenous peoples and linguistic minor-
ities, Identity Captured by Law is an invaluable resource for
legal and political scholars and students, as well as any-
one interested in the controversies surrounding the legal
recognition of identity.

Second Promised Land
Migration to Alberta and the
Transformation of Canadian
Society
Harry H. Hiller
Exploring the realities behind the “Alberta
Advantage” and the redistribution of the
Canadian population.
Explosive economic growth in resource-rich Alberta has
led to a stunning increase in its population. In contrast to
Ontario and British Columbia, which have grown primarily
through international migration, Alberta has become a
magnet for internal migrants, contributing to population
redistribution within Canada, with significant national
social and economic consequences.
Combining statistical analysis and ethnographic study,
Harry Hiller uncovers two waves of in-migration to
Alberta. His innovative approach begins with the indivi-
dual migrant and analyzes the relocation experience from
origin to destination. Through interviews with hundreds
of migrants, Hiller shows that migration is complex and
dynamic, shaped not just by what Alberta offers but also
prompted by a process that begins in the region of origin
which makes migration possible, and helps determine
whether migrants stay or return home.
By combining a social psychological approach with
structural factors such as Alberta’s transition from a
regional hinterland province to its emerging role the
global system, discussions of gender, the internet, and
folk culture, Second Promised Land provides a multi-
dimensional and deeply human account of a contem-
porary Canadian phenomenon.
“An interesting and well-written book and an important
contribution to migration literature.”

Branding Canada
Projecting Canada’s Soft Power
through Public Diplomacy
Evan H. Potter
Looking at Canada’s public diplomacy
abroad through culture, international
education, and international broadcasting.
The communications revolution and increased democra-
tization and globalization have made every country more
aware of its image and reputation – its “national brand.”
Whether a country needs to build international coalitions
against terrorism, encourage cooperation to protect the
environment, or attract investment and skilled labour,
influencing foreign public opinion is now as crucial to
national success as negotiating with foreign governments.
Evan Potter analyses how the federal government
has used the instruments of public diplomacy – cultural
programs, international education, international broad-
casting, trade, and investment promotion – to exercise
Canada’s soft power internationally. He argues that
protecting and nurturing a distinct national identity are
essential to Canada’s sovereignty and prosperity, and
suggests ways to achieve this through the strategic
exercise of public diplomacy, at home and abroad.
In offering the first comprehensive overview of the
origins, development, and implementation of the country’s
public diplomacy, Branding Canada offers policy advice on
Canada’s approach and advances the thinking on public
diplomacy in general.
Evan H. Potter is assistant professor in the Department of
Communication, University of Ottawa. He is the founding
editor of the Canadian Foreign Policy journal and a former
Fulbright Visiting Chair in Public Diplomacy at the Annen-
berg School for Communication, University of Southern

Regulating Flexibility
The Political Economy of
Employment Standards
Mark P. Thomas
A timely analysis of employment
standards legislation that calls for a new
approach to labour market regulation.
In a contemporary labour market that includes growing
levels of precarious employment, the regulation of
minimum employment standards is intricately connected
to conditions of economic security. With a focus on the
role of neoliberal labour market policies in promoting
“flexible” employment standards legislation – particularly
in the areas of minimum wages and working time – Mark
Thomas argues that shifts toward “flexible” legislation
have played a central role in producing patterns of labour
market inequality.
Using an analytic framework that situates employment
standards within the context of the broader social rela-
tions that shape processes of labour market regulation,
Thomas constructs a case study of employment standards
legislation in Ontario from 1884 to 2004. Drawing from
political economy scholarship, and using a qualitative
research methodology, he analyses class, race, and gender
dimensions of legislative developments, highlighting the
ways in which shifts towards “flexible” employment
standards have exacerbated longstanding racialized and
gendered inequities.
Regulating Flexibility argues that in order to counter
current trends towards increased insecurity, employment
standards should not be treated as a secondary form of
labour protection but as a cornerstone in a progressive
project of labour market re-regulation.

Alice Street
A Memoir
Richard Valeriote
The journey from an immigrant
neighbourhood to the fields of
academia, medicine, and finance.
From a difficult childhood on Alice Street in Guelph,
Ontario, to even harder years as a student at McGill
University, Richard Valeriote tells the story of growing up
as an impoverished immigrant in early twentieth-century
Canada. A witness and participant in the social and
cultural changes of the last century, his memories offer a
personal perspective on the Great Depression, the Second
World War, and the racism and ethnic tensions of small
town Ontario.
Alice Street recounts how Valeriote was born at the
sunset of good times and the dawn of hard ones. His
mother’s fifteenth child, he grew up in an Italian Catholic
family on a street full of proud families with a multitude
of languages and backgrounds. From being packed into
the local church, to working and borrowing his way
through medical school at McGill while surviving several
severe illnesses, to his very successful career as a doctor in
California, his story is entwined with those of everyone
from foundry workers to foreign ambassadors.
A warm and informative look at the challenging
journey made by so many, Alice Street is a testament to
the strength and character needed to make it through
tumultuous times.
Richard Valeriote is a retired medical doctor and was
formerly a bank board chairman and regent of Santa
Clara University.

Politics,
People,

L. Ian MacDonald
Newspaper columns are written in the mo-
ment, part of journalism’s rough first draft of
history. But the true judge of a columnist’s
insight and interpretation of events, and the
people who shape them, is how the analysis
stands the test of time.
This collection of columns and articles by
L. Ian MacDonald meets that test. From
columns in the Montreal Gazette and the
National Post, as well as longer pieces from
the magazine Policy Options, MacDonald
looks at Canadian and American politics and
the principal players and events over the last
decade: from Jean Chrétien, Stephen Harper,
Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama, to Brian
Mulroney and Airbus, to Jean Charest’s three
terms as premier of Quebec.
Along the way, MacDonald’s clear and lively
prose covers topics from politics to cottages,
while profiling people as diverse as Jean
Béliveau and Bernard Derome. Politics, People,
& Potpourri brings to life storied Montreal
landmarks, from St Patrick’s Basilica to
Windsor Station, and commemorates the
passing of such notable figures as Pierre
Trudeau and Maurice “Rocket” Richard. This
intelligent and amusing collection presents
MacDonald at his best and offers a com-
pelling view of Canadian politics and life.

Edited by Geoffrey Tesson,
Geoffrey Hudson, Roger
Strasser, and Dan Hunt
Rural and remote communities have long
been challenging health care settings that
rely on distant metropolises to supply their
health workforce. The Northern Ontario
School of Medicine, a pioneering faculty of
medicine founded in 2005, was established
to realize the potential of the rich learning
environments found in such communities.
This is the story of the establishment of a
school of medicine that is part of a growing
trend toward providing medical education
that responds to the needs of remote
populations and produces resourceful
physicians capable of meeting those needs.
Twelve contributors highlight the various
aspects of the school’s development and the
unique opportunities it offers. The first new
medical school in Canada in over thirty years,
the Northern Ontario School of Medicine
provides a blueprint for those interested in
an innovative approach to medical education.
This collection provides a fascinating and
detailed account of the challenges and re-
wards faced by those who insisted on creat-
ing a patient-centered, community-based,
and culturally sensitive learning environment
for the physicians of tomorrow.

Staying Connected
How MacDougall Family
Traditions Built a Business
over 160 Years
James Ferrabee and
Michael St B. Harrison
Foreword by Bart MacDougall
The story of a business, its founding
family, and their continued success.
With origins dating back more than 160 years,
MacDougall, MacDougall & MacTier Inc.
has continued to grow and evolve through
changing times to become one of the largest
independent investment firms in the country.
Staying Connected is the story of the employee-
owned firm – familiarly known as “3Macs” –
from its founding by one of the first stock-
brokers in Montreal, Donald Lorn MacDougall,
to the present day.
James Ferrabee and Michael Harrison
reveal that, even as decades have passed and
economic trends have soared and crashed,
MacDougall, MacDougall & MacTier has been
able to rely in good times and bad on the
tradition and continued presence of the
MacDougall family as well as the firm’s core
values: integrity, independence, and trust. Not
only rich in detail about the history of the
company, its founding family, and Canadian
business, Staying Connected also offers a lively
portrait of the city of Montreal from the mid-
nineteenth century to the early twenty-first.
Accessible and amusing, this is an inside
account of a continual success story.
