Rudy WiebeCollected Stories, 1955–2010RUDY WIEBE INTRODUCTION BY THOMAS WHARTON

For more than fi fty years, Canadian literary legend Rudy Wiebe has been defi ning and refi ning prairie literature through his oeuvre of world renowned novels, histories, essays, and short stories. He has introduced generations of readers far and wide to western Canadian Mennonite, aboriginal, and settler culture. Some say he wrote the book on historical prairie fi ction. In fact, he’s written quite a few. The University of Alberta Press is proud to publish the fi fty short stories that Wiebe completed between 1955 and 2010, including one previously unpublished story. This is a must-have book for afi cionados of great world literature, fans of prairie fi ction, and Wiebe’s faithful readers.

Literary icon Rudy Wiebe was born in the Mennonite homestead commu-nity of Speedwell, Saskatchewan. Since the 1950s, he has been entertaining, educating, and inspiring readers with award-winning novels, short stories, essays, memoir, histories, and screenplays. Wiebe received the Governor General’s Award for Fiction in 1973 for The Temptations of Big Bear and again in 1994 for A Discovery of Strangers. In 2004 he won the Charles Taylor Prize for his memoir, Of This Earth: A Mennonite Boyhood in the Boreal Forest. Wiebe is an Offi cer of the Order of Canada. He lives with his wife Tena in Edmonton, Alberta.

Prodigal Daughter A Journey to ByzantiumMYRNA KOSTASH

A deep-seated questioning of her inherited religion resurfaces when Myrna Kostash chances upon the icon of St. Demetrius of Thessalonica. A spiritual and historical odyssey that begins in Edmonton, ranges around the Balkans, and plunges into a renewed vision of Byzantium in search of the Great Saint of the East delivers the author to an unexpected place—the threshold of her childhood church. An epic work of travel memoir, Prodigal Daughter sings with immediacy and depth, rewarding readers with a profound sense of an adventure they have lived. This book will appeal to readers inter-ested in Ukrainian-Canadian culture and the Greek Orthodox religion and history, as well as to fans of Kostash’s bold creative nonfi ction.

Myrna Kostash’s creative nonfi ction continues to defi ne and push the limits of the genre. Since the publication of All of Baba’s Children in 1977, she has been a strong voice in depicting the Ukrainian-Canadian ethnic experience in the West. Her award-winning memoirs, essays, and other writing, along with her avid participation in the literary community, have garnered Kostash popular and critical acclaim at home and abroad. She lives in Edmonton.

Is market-driven research healthy? Responding to the language of “knowledge mobiliza-tion” that percolates through Canadian postsecondary education, the literary scholars who contributed these essays address the challenges that an intensifi ed culture of research capitalism brings to the humanities in particular. Stakeholders in Canada’s research infrastructure—university students, professors, and administrators; grant policy makers and bureaucrats; and the public who are the ultimate inheritors of such knowledge—are urged to examine a range of perspectives on the increasingly entre-preneurial university environment and its growing corporate culture.

Essays by: L.M. Findlay; Donna Palmateer Pennee; Kit Dobson; Jessica Schagerl; Ashok Mathur and Rita Wong; Marjorie Stone; Paul Danyluk; Melissa Stephens; Susan Brown; Diana Brydon; Daniel Coleman and Smaro Kamboureli.

Daniel Coleman is Professor of Canadian Literature, Canada Research Chair, Department of English and Cultural Studies, McMaster University. His creative memoir on reading, spirituality, and cultural politics, In Bed with the Word, came out in 2009 to wide acclaim. He lives in Hamilton.

Smaro Kamboureli is Professor with the School of English and Theatre Studies, Canada Research Chair, and Director of TransCanada Institute, University of Guelph. Her award-winning work, Scandalous Bodies: Diasporic Literature in English Canada, was republished in 2009. She lives in Guelph.

Will the Real Alberta Please Stand Up? GEO F. TAKACH

One little question propels both author and reader on a genre-bending quest to fi nd the elusive essence of a Canadian province built on sturdy stereotypes of oil-spoiled, beef-eating, bible-thumping rednecks devoid of class or culture. Through essay, interview, colourful observation, and whatever other exposé it takes to amplify the hyperbolic absurdity of seeking a simple answer to an incendiary question, Geo Takach spotlights the cultural complexity of this perplexing province. Readers will be delightfully edifi ed after a dizzying romp around Wild Rose Country with Geo and a cast of citizens and celebs (alive and dead).

Geo Takach is a prolifi c and consummate writer, instructor, speaker, and fi lmmaker based in Wild Rose Country. His passion for, and his unbridled fasci-nation and frustration with, Alberta has driven his work to defi ne the soul of a province grandly mythologized and misunderstood. He has suffered for his art, and now he would like it to be your turn.

The Contemporary ArabReader on Political Islam IBRAHIM M. ABU-RABI’

Contemporary Islamism is a complex notion, encompassing a constellation of social, political, religious and ideological ideas that have evolved over the past two hundred years. These ideas have dramatically shaped modern and contemporary Arab societies, but they are little understood in the West.

The Contemporary Arab Reader on Political Islam corrects this at a stroke. It brings together the writings of highly infl uential fi gures in the fi eld of Islamism in the contem-porary Arab world, many of whose writings have never been available before in English. Addressing the key issues such as Shari’ah, human rights, civil society, secularism, globalisation and ummah, and the impact of the West on the modern Arab world, this is the perfect starting point for students and academics looking to understand ‘Political Islam’ in contemporary Arab and Muslim societies.

The contributors include such important Islamist thinkers and activists as Abdullah Azzam, central to the spread of Islamism in Afghanistan, Sayyid Muhammad Hussain Fadlallah, a major Shiite fi gure in contemporary Lebanon and Ahmad Bin Yousuf, a polit-ical advisor to Akram Haniyya in Gaza.

Ibrahim M. Abu-Rabi’ is the holder of the Edmonton Council of Muslim Communities Chair of Islamic Studies at the University of Alberta. His many books include Intellectual Origins of Islamic Resurgence in the Modern Arab World (1996), Islam at the Crossroads (2003), The Blackwell Companion to Contemporary Islamic Thought (2006), and Contemporary Arab Thought (Pluto Press, 2005).
