After a tumultuous career as a revolutionary inIreland and an ultra-conservative Catholic in theUnited States, Thomas D’Arcy McGee moved to Canada in 1857, where he became a force formoderation and the leading Irish Canadian poli -tician in the country. Determined that Canadashould avoid the ethno-religious strife that afflictedIreland, he articulated an inclusive, broad-mindednationalism based on generosity of spirit, awillingness to compromise, and a reasonablebalance between order and liberty.

To realize his vision, McGee became a strongsupporter of the “new northern nationality.” A spellbinding orator who emerged as the youngestand most intellectually gifted of the Fathers ofConfederation, he fought what he saw as theatavistic and intolerant elements of Canadian life – the Orange Order, with its strident anti-Catholicism; the opponents of separate schools,whom he viewed as enemies of minority rights; and above all the Fenian Brotherhood, with itsdreams of revolutionizing Ireland and annexingCanada to the United States. Convinced thatcompromise with Fenianism was impossible, he set out to destroy the movement through a strategyof confrontation and polarization – channeling his earlier extreme tendencies in the service ofmoderation and attempting to reduce the influenceof Fenianism within his own community. In the

process, he alienated many of his former suppor -ters, who came to regard him as a traitor whosacrificed the cause of Irish nationalism on the altarof personal ambition. On 7 April 1868, McGeewas assassinated on the doorstep of his Ottawaboarding house.

As someone who took an uncompromising standagainst militants within his own ethno-religiouscommunity, and who attempted to balance corevalues with minority rights, McGee has becomeincreasingly relevant in today’s complex multi -cultural society.

“A magnificent achievement. The narrative has tension and momentum, even though we know the final tragic scene. This is the triumphant finaleof years of scholarship and must rank as one of the great historical biographies of our time.”Liam Kennedy, Queen's University, Belfast

Part art, part science, part anthropology, thisambitious project presents an early Canadianperspective on natural history that is as muchartistic and fantastical as it is encyclopedic. Editedand introduced by François-Marc Gagnon, TheCodex Canadensis and the Writings of LouisNicolas showcases an intriguing attempt todocument the life of the new world – flora, fauna, and aboriginal.

The book brings together for the first time theillustrated Codex Canadensis and “The NaturalHistory of the New World,” following Gagnon’sargument that both can be attributed to LouisNicolas, a French Jesuit priest who travelledthroughout Canada between 1664 and 1675.“Histoire Naturelle des Indes Occidentales,”originally written in classical French, has been putin modern French by Réal Ouellet and translatedinto English by Nancy Senior. The “Natural

History” presents a pre-Linnaean botany and pre-Darwinian account of living things, includinghundreds of species of plants and vivid descriptionsof wildlife. It is thoroughly annotated, focusing on the contemporary identifi cation of species, as the result of a pan-Canadian collaboration ofexperts in fields from linguistics to biology andbotany. The Codex Canadensis, currently in the collection of the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa,Oklahoma, is reproduced in full and provides botha fascinating visual account of wildlife as Nicolassaw it and a rare example of early Canadian art.Gagnon’s introduction profiles Louis Nicolas and analyses connections between his work andEuropean examples of natural illustration from the period.The Codex Canadensis and the Writings of

Louis Nicolas shows how the wildlife and nativeinhabitants of the new world were understood and

docu mented by a seventeenth-century Europeanand makes available fundamental documents in thehistory and visual culture of early North America.

“The Codex Canadensis and the Writings of LouisNicolas is a treasure trove for a host of readerswith wide-ranging interests in the history, culture,and natural history of Canada, or in the makeup ofthe scientific field in France at the time. The livelystyle for which François-Marc Gagnon is wellknown to French readers as well as the volume’smature and insightful scholarship make this a cap-tivating, rich, and profoundly knowledgeable text.” Laurier Lacroix, département d’histoire de l’art, Université du Québec à Montréal

The ways in which Aboriginal people and museumswork together have changed drastically in recentdecades. This historic process of decolonization,including distinctive attempts to institutionalizemulticulturalism, has pushed Canadian museums to pioneer new practices that can accommodateboth difference and inclusivity.

Ruth Phillips argues that these practices are“indigenous” not only because they originate inAboriginal activism but because they draw on adistinctively Canadian preference for compromiseand tolerance for ambiguity. Phillips dissectsseminal exhibitions of Indigenous art to show howchanges in display, curatorial voice, and authoritystem from broad social, economic, and politicalforces outside the museum and moves beyondCanadian institutions and practices to discusshistorically interrelated developments and exhi -

bitions in the United States, Britain, Australia, andelsewhere. Drawing on forty years of experience as an art historian, curator, exhibition critic, andmuseum director, she emphasizes the complex andsituated nature of the problems that face museums,introducing new perspectives on controversialexhibitions and moments of contestation.

A manifesto that calls on us to re-imagine themuseum as a place to embrace global interconnect -edness, Museum Pieces emphasizes the transfor -mative power of museum controversy and analysesshifting ideas about art, authenticity, and power in the modern museum.

Ruth B. Phillips is an art historian specializing in North American Aboriginal art and a formerdirector of the University of British ColumbiaMuseum of Anthropology.

“Ruth Phillips is one of the most well-respected and senior figures working in the domain of contemporary museum anthropology and critical museum studies. Thegreat strengths of this volume are the author’s careful research, her unique positionwithin the events described, and the temporal depth of the analysis that traces important questions of indigenous representation in detail over decades … This broad and extremely rich book presents a sustained argument for an interdisciplinary approach to the study of representational politics in museums.” Haidy Geismar, anthropology and museum studies, New York University

In 1973, the Supreme Court’s historic Calderdecision on the Nisga’a community’s title suit in British Columbia launched the Native rightslitigation era in Canada. Legal claims have raisedquestions with significant historical implications,such as, “What treaty rights have survived invarious parts of Canada? What is the scope ofAboriginal title? Who are the Métis, where do theylive, and what is the nature of their culture andtheir rights?”

Arthur Ray’s extensive knowledge in the historyof the fur trade and Native economic historybrought him into the courts as an expert witness in the mid-1980s. For over twenty-five years he has been a part of landmark litigation concerningtreaty rights, Aboriginal title, and Métis rights. In Telling It to the Judge, Ray recalls lengthycourtroom battles over lines of evidence, historicalinterpretation, and philosophies of history,reflecting on the problems inherent in teachinghistory in the adversarial courtroom setting.

Told with charm and based on extensiveexperience, Telling It to the Judge is a uniquenarrative of courtroom strategy in the effort toobtain constitutional recognition of Aboriginal and treaty rights.

“A major and erudite statement of a position thatis intellectually, morally, and spiritually of the first importance to those of us living now.” Roger Scruton, author of numerous booksincluding A Political Philosophy: Arguments For Conservatism

In Aping Mankind, Raymond Tallis exposes theexaggerated claims made about the ability ofneuroscience and evolutionary theory to explainhuman consciousness, behaviour, culture, andsociety and shows that human beings are infinitelymore interesting and complex than they appear in the mirror of biologism.

Tallis argues that the rise of biologism hasserious consequences and demonstrates that, bydenying human uniqueness and minimizing thedifferences between humans and their nearestanimal kin, it misrepresents what we are, offering a grotesquely simplified and degrading account of humanity. He suggests that seeing ourselves asanimals may lead us to find reasons for treatingothers as less than human.

“A splendid book. Tallis is right to say that currentattempts to explain major elements of human lifeby brain-talk are fearfully misguided. Tallis isexceptional in having both the philosophical graspto understand what is wrong here and the scientificknowledge to expose it fully. He documents thegravity of this menace in a clear, vigorous style,with real fire, venom, and humour.”Mary Midgley, author of The Owl of Minerva: A Memoir and The Solitary Self: Darwin and theSelfish Gene

“A wonderful book and an important book, onethat all neuroscientists should read. Tallis’s fearlesscriticism of the work of some distinguishedcontemporary academics and scientists and therather ludicrous experimental paradigms of mriwork needs to be made.” Simon Shorvon, uclInstitute of Neurology

Raymond Tallis trained as a doctor before becominga professor of geriatric medicine at the Universityof Manchester. In 2006 he retired from medicine tobecome a full-time writer. His most recent worksinclude The Kingdom of Infinite Space, Hunger,and Michelangelo’s Finger.

When poet and broadcaster Mona Gould died in1999, she left behind thirty-eight boxes of papers.Her war poem, “This Was My Brother,” was still a staple of textbooks and anthologies, yet Mona –well known in her youth – had fallen into obscurityin the 1960s. Born at the very time Mona’s careerwas faltering, Maria Meindl became a captiveaudience for her grandmother’s extravagant storiesof the past.

Years later, Maria took on the daunting task of sorting through Mona’s mountain of papers tocreate an archive for the University of Toronto’sFisher Rare Book Library. The chaotic state of theboxes reflected Mona’s flamboyant and demandingpersonality, yet they also drew an important pictureof the life of a Canadian freelancer in the twentiethcentury. Mona had begun publishing poetry andfeatures in newspapers in the 1920s and publishedthree books of poetry in the 1940s. In the 1950s, ata time when many women were retreating from thepublic sphere, she had a successful radio career.Her later journals and letters recount, in agonizingdetail, a downward spiral into self-doubt, poverty,and addiction. Maria soon discovered that thetruth of Mona’s life was even more fascinating than her stories.

Outside the Box brings to life a thinly docu -mented era in Canadian letters through the story of one passionate and conflicted woman. It alsocharts the journey of an unwilling archivist, comingto terms with family secrets, forgotten history, andthe stories that are never told.

“Not content merely to provide an account ofGould’s life and times, Maria Meindl probes thecomplexities of her own relationship with thisremarkable woman. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found it rewarding on multiple levels.”Susan Olding, author of Pathologies: A Life in Essays

“Encompassing literary, social, and women’shistory, personal memoir, and media studies,Outside the Box is honest, revealing, and original.”Elaine Kalman Naves, author of Shoshanna’s Story

Maria Meindl writes about health care and the arts and has created series for cbc Radio’s Ideas.She lives in Toronto and this is her first book.

The first decade of the twenty-first century wasnoteworthy for war, terror, religious revival, eco nomic collapse, and a technological revolutionthat prompted countless critical responses and gave rise to a paradox: writing flourished, but readingdeclined. Reading the 21st Century investigates theurgent themes, major works, and crisis of readingin an era of instant communication.

In wide-ranging and innovative criticism, StanPersky examines international non-fiction andfiction to engage with both the triumphs andtensions of reading and writing today. Evaluatingworks by established authors Philip Roth, OrhanPamuk, J.M. Coetzee, and José Saramago, as wellas emerging writers like Naomi Klein, Javier Cercas,and Chimamanda Adichie, Persky also showcases aremarkable group of reporters – Steve Coll, DexterFilkins, and Rajiv Chandrasekaran – who havewritten essential books about global issues.

An illuminating and accessible work about thepresent age, Reading the 21st Century introducesnew ways of thinking about the world’s mostsignificant cultural, political, and moral problems.

The architecture of Newfoundland typicallyevokes images of spare but colourful housesand outbuildings by the sea. NewfoundlandModern reveals another dimension that chal-lenges this impression.

In over 220 drawings and photographs,Robert Mellin presents the development of architecture in the decades immediately fol-lowing Newfoundland’s 1949 union withCanada. Newfoundland’s wholehearted embrace of modern architecture in this era affected planning as well as the design of cul-tural facilities, commercial and public build-ings, housing, recreation, educational facilities,and places of worship, and Premier JosephSmallwood often relied on modern architec-ture to demonstrate the progress made by hisadministration. Mellin explores the links between Smallwood and modern architecture,revealing how Smallwood guided the develop-ment of numerous architectural projects. Healso looks at the work of two innovative localarchitects, Frederick A. Colbourne and AngusJ. Campbell, showing how their architecturewas influenced by their life-long interest in art.

The first comprehensive work on an impor-tant period of architectural development inurban and rural Newfoundland, Newfound-land Modern complements Mellin’s award-winning book on the outport of Tilting, Fogo Island.

“Original and richly illustrated, NewfoundlandModern is a comprehensive and insightful tourd’horizon that will make St. John’s the envy of other Canadian cities in terms of architectural history.”Peter Neary, University of Western Ontario

“Weaving together comprehensive researchand thoughtful observation, NewfoundlandModern makes a strong case in favour of protection and preservation and providesample justification of the importance of modern works.”George Thomas Kapelos, Ryerson University

Robert Mellin is associate professor in theSchool of Architecture, McGill University, andthe author of Tilting: House Launching, SlideHauling, Potato Trenching, and Other Talesfrom a Newfoundland Fishing Village.

Few figures have had as lasting an influence onCanadian institutions, history, politics, and cultureas Georges and Pauline Vanier. Georges (1888–1967), a decorated military officer, became a professional diplomat, the first Canadianambassador to France, and the first French-Canadian governor general of Canada. Pauline(1898–1991), a respected humanitarian, PrivyCouncil member, and university chancellor, sharedher husband’s responsibilities and helped shape his thoughts on foreign and domestic affairs.Georges and Pauline Vanier follows their lives

and travels across the world – from Canadianmilitary life to the League of Nations, from the inner circles of British government to theirharrowing escape from Nazi-occupied France –detailing their disappointments and triumphsduring social and political turbulence. With insight and sympathy, Mary Frances Coady tellstheir dramatic personal story. Revealing theirremarkably vibrant personalities, she details the couple’s support of the French resistance as well as Georges Vanier’s pleas for the Canadiangovernment to accept refugees fleeing Hitler’shorrors and his effort to broaden immigrationpolicy. She also recounts the importance of their

religious convictions, their controversial standingamong Quebecers, and their early advocacy ofofficial bilingualism.

An invigorating and well-told tale of their lastinglegacies, Georges and Pauline Vanier is the defini -tive account of the enduring contributions theVaniers made to the world and to their country.

“This double biography is a careful, thoroughwork which fills a gap in Canadian history. Coady’sinsights into each partner are sympathetic and convincing, and her writing is accessible andthoughtful.” Charlotte Gray, author of Gold Diggers: Striking it Rich in the Klondike

No Canadian prime minister has a legacy as uncer -tain as that of R.B. Bennett (1870–1947). Leader of the country during the worst years of the GreatDepression, Bennett’s fortune and ascension to theBritish House of Lords distanced him from theCanadian people during his lifetime, while his burialin England kept him aloof from his country even in death. In Search of R.B. Bennett explores thestatesmanship, ideas, and temperament of Canada’seleventh prime minister, presenting an enigmaticportrait of a difficult and fascinating man.

Writing a life of Bennett, who reportedlydestroyed his correspondence every seven years,presents challenges for the biographer. Yet, as P.B. Waite shows, Bennett’s lasting contributions toCanada are beyond doubt. He describes Bennett’sbold initiatives, including his attempt to introduceunemployment insurance and a minimum wage, as well as his founding of the Bank of Canada andthe Canadian Broadcasting Corporation – achievedin the teeth of opposition from banking and mediamagnates. Waite also contemplates Bennett’s friend -ships, his relationships, and his lifelong bachelor -hood, shedding new light on his life and personality.

With warmth, wit, and a deep knowledge of itssubject, In Search of R.B. Bennett brings Bennettthe man – his penchants, prejudices, weaknesses,and strengths – before the reader.

“A traditional biography, with the focus onBennett's character, his motives, and underlyingvalues, In Search of R.B. Bennett is superblywritten and a great pleasure to read.”John MacFarlane, Directorate of History and Heritage

In This Great National Object, Roberta Styran andRobert Taylor – the unparalleled experts on thesubject – recount the story of the canals, withparticular emphasis on the experiences of theengineers, contractors, and labourers who built theinland waterways between 1824 and 1889.

Making extensive use of the National Archivesand the Archives of Ontario, Styran and Taylorunveil previously unpublished information aboutthe con struction of the canals, including technicalplans and drawings from a wide variety of sources.They illustrate the technical and managementintricacies of building a navigational trade andcommerce lifeline while also revealing the vividcharacters – from businessman William HamiltonMerritt to engineer John Page – who inspired theproject and drove it to completion.

The history of the Welland Canals is a grippingtale of epic proportions. Given the ongoingimportance of the Great Lakes in the NorthAmerican economy, interest in the St. LawrenceSeaway – of which the Welland is “the GreatSwivel Link” – and the relevance of labour history,This Great National Object will be of interest toenthusiasts and historians alike.

How “Mr. Merritt’s Ditch” became a link in the chain of inland waterwaysbetween the Atlantic Ocean and North America’s heartland.

A surprising and insightful work, RediscoveringReverence offers a rational explanation of what themodern western world calls “religion” and arguesthat it is not what most people assume.

Question ing western culture’s evolving use of the word “religion” over the last five centuries,Ralph Heintzman strips away misunderstandings to demonstrate that faith is not the same as belief. He shows how faith is not something one has but something one does, leading the reader to adeeper understanding of religious practice and its necessary place in human life.

Drawing on familiar experiences as well asaspects of western and eastern spiritual traditions,Heintzman argues that religious practice is rootedin two basic ways human beings act in the world. It is therefore an element in the structure of thehuman spirit, not a phase in its history. Explainingthe meaning of religious practice in contemporarylanguage, Rediscovering Reverence is addressed to anyone who wants to explore the meaning andpromise of a religious life.

A unique and thoughtful meditation on the role of reverence in everyday life, RediscoveringReverence presents new perspectives on modernfaith, religion, and both personal and societal well-being.

Ralph Heintzman is an adjunct research professorin the Graduate School of Public and InternationalAffairs at the University of Ottawa and a seniorfellow of Massey College in the University ofToronto.

From the book

“The question, for all of us, is: how shall I lead my life?

This is not an academic question. It is not an abstract or intellectual one. It’s personal, immediateand urgent. It’s the old joke about the meaning oflife. But it’s no joke, when your own life is at stake.It’s the question that keeps us awake at night. Orgnaws away at the back of our minds, no matterhow comfortable or successful we are. And it’s aquestion most of us have to answer, somehow.”

Policy making in the modern world has become a complex matter. Muchpolicy is formed through negotiations between governments at several differentlevels, because each has particular resources that can be brought to bear onproblems. At the same time, non-governmental organizations make demandsabout policy and can help in policy formation and implementation. In thiscontext, works in this series explore how policy is made within municipalitiesthrough processes of intergovernmental relations and with the involvement of social forces of all kinds.

The Fields of Governance series arises from a large research project, fundedmainly by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada,entitled Multilevel Governance and Public Policy in Canadian Municipalities.This project has involved more than eighty scholars and a large number ofstudent assistants. At its core are studies of several policy fields, each of which was examined in a variety of municipalities. Our objectives are not only to account for the nature of the policies but also to assess their qualityand to suggest improvements in policy and in the policy-making process.

The Fields of Governance series is designed for scholars, practitioners, and interested readers from many backgrounds and places.

Forthcoming titles will tackle pertinent policy issues including image-building,emergency planning, Federal property policy, and Federal infrastructureprograms.

Canada has one of the most successful immigration pro grams in the world, afunction of the policies, programs, and services that assist newcomers. Immi -grant settlement is a crucial policy field that involves governments, communi -ties, and a range of social forces. Immigration matters are an area of sharedjurisdiction, but the federal government has long been the dominant player.Provinces and municipalities, however, are now pushing for an expandedpolicy role, increased resources, and governance arrangements that recognizethe important part they play in immigrant settlement.

Drawing on in-depth interviews with government officials and front-lineworkers, contributors provide a comparative assessment of approaches toimmigrant settlement in nineteen Canadian municipalities. This is com -plemented by a discussion of the federal government’s role in this policy field,and by a comprehensive introduction and conclusion, which ground the bookhistorically and thematically, synthesize its key findings, and provide recom -mendations for addressing the challenges related to intergovernmentalcooperation, settlement service delivery, and overall immigrant outcomes.Chapters examine the mechanics of public policy-making but also tell a storyabout diverse and innovative approaches to immigrant settlement in Canada’stowns and cities, about gaps and problems in the system, and about the waysin which governments and communities are working together to facilitateintegration.

The majority of Aboriginal people in Canada – First Nations, Inuit, and Métis – live in urban areas. Public policy making concerning urban Aboriginalpeople is, however, complex, complicated by geographic variation, and variesgreatly in both quality and quantity from municipality to municipality. Theresponsibilities of different levels of government are hotly debated, and there is competition between Aboriginal organizations. In Urban Aboriginal PolicyMaking in Canadian Municipalities leading authorities interview bothAboriginal and non-Aboriginal leaders, report on research done in a largevariety of municipalities, and assess the quality of urban Aboriginal policy in Canada.

Individual chapters highlight the unique issues related to policy making inthis field – the important role of diverse Aboriginal organizations, the need to address Aboriginal and Treaty rights and the right to self-government, and the lack of governmental leadership – revealing a complex jurisdictional and programming maze. Contributors look at provinces where there has been extensive activity as well as provinces where urban Aboriginal issuesseem largely irrelevant to governments. They cover small and mid-sized towns, remote communities, and large metropolises. While their researchacknowledges that existing Aboriginal policy falls short in many ways, it also affirms that the field is new and there are grounds for improvement as it grows and matures.

Emily Hahn was one of the most prolific andenduring writers at The New Yorker – her firstbyline appeared there in 1926, her last in 1996. She was also the author of fifty-three books, and,had her 1933 travel memoir, Congo Solo, not beenpublished in a censored version during the darkestdays of the Great Depression, it might well havebeen hailed as a classic of the genre, alongsideDinesen’s Out of Africa. In many ways Hahn’svivid account of her eight-month sojourn in aremote medical clinic was years ahead of its time.

A woman who lived life on her own terms, Hahnwas an unknown and struggling writer when CongoSolo was published. Here – restored to the form shehad intended – is Hahn’s unforgettable narrative, a vivid, provocative, and at times disturbing first-hand account of the racism, brutality, sexism, andexploitation that were everyday life realities underBelgium’s iron-fisted colonial rule.

Until now, the few copies of Congo Solo incirculation were the adulterated version, which theauthor altered after pressure from her publisherand threats of litigation from the main character’s

family. This edition makes available a lost treasureof women’s travel writing that shocks and impresses,while shedding valuable light on the gender andrace politics of the period.

“There is a long chain of accounts by literary travellers to the Congo over more than a century,and it is good to have one such revealing narrativecarefully restored to an uncensored version at last.The chilling episode at its heart reminds one of thecruel megalomania of Joseph Conrad’s Mr. Kurtz.”Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold’s Ghost

Ken Cuthbertson is the author of two criticallyacclaimed books of non-fiction, including NobodySaid Not to Go: The Life, Loves, and Adventures of Emily Hahn and Inside: The Biography of JohnGunther, shortlisted for a Governor General’sLiterary Award. He lives in Kingston, Ontario.

Procter, Tecumseh, and Brock, their disparate war aims, and the “all or nothing”character of the campaigns they waged still seem larger than life. Yet SandyAntal’s careful reconstruction of Native and national aspiration, vestedcolonial interest, and territorial aggression reveals motives and expedients that were as often mundane as heroic.A Wampum Denied reassesses the much-maligned career of Henry Procter,

commander of the British forces, traces the Canadian/British/Native side of the conflict (amid a literature dominated by the American view), and casts new light on an allied military strategy that very nearly succeeded, but when it failed, failed spectacularly.

“A Wampum Denied is a tour de force … a mature piece of work, well-grounded in primary sources and a significant contribution to the field. This is the best work, by far, that I’ve read on the Northwest campaign in manyyears.” Dr Larry Nelson, director, Fort Meigs State Memorial, Ohio

Sandy Antal, co-author of Duty Nobly Done, became a teacher after retiringfrom twenty years as a major in the Canadian Forces. He now lives inCameron, Ontario.

The Canadian people have faced crises of leadership, but never more seriouslythan during the War of 1812. Despite the many studies of this turbulent time,there are still controversies over traditional issues, one being the quality ofleadership on both sides.

In British Generals in the War of 1812 Wesley Turner takes a fresh look at five British Generals – Sir George Prevost, Isaac Brock, Roger Sheaffe, Baron Francis de Rottenburg, and Gordon Drummond – who held the highest civil and military command in the Canadas. He considers their formativeexperiences in the British Army and on active service in European and WestIndian theatres and evaluates their roles in the context of North Americanconditions, which were very different from those of Europe.

Turner answers questions about the quality of each general’s leadership,particularly that of Isaac Brock, the best known of these five generals. Heargues that Brock’s charge up Queenston Heights – the basis for his heroicstature – was brave but hardly a demonstration of competent leadership.Turner also shows us that while the other generals displayed courage in combat,they had to face problems raised by American military successes and by thestrains of warfare on the civilian population. British Generals in the War of1812 explores why these commanders succeeded or failed and why, except for Brock, they are all but forgotten.

British Generals in the War of 1812High Command in the Canadas

wesley b. turner

An examination of the thoughts and actions of five British generals in Lower and Upper Canada.

While land claims made by Canada’s aboriginal peoples continue to attractattention and controversy, there has been almost no discussion of the ways inwhich First Nations lands are managed and the property rights that have beenin place since the Indian Act of 1876. Beyond the Indian Act looks at theseissues and questions whether present land practices have benefited Canada’saboriginal peoples. Challenging current laws and management, this illumi -nating work proposes the creation of a new system that would allow FirstNations to choose to have full ownership of property, both individually andcollectively.

The authors not only investigate the current forms of property rights onreservations but also expose the limitations of each system, showing thatcustomary rights are insecure, certificates of possession cannot be sold outsidethe First Nation, and leases are temporary. As well, analysis of legislation,court decisions, and economic reports reveals that current land managementhas led to unnecessary economic losses. The authors propose creation of aFirst 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 increasedeconomic advantages.

In the late 1940s Elmer Harp, a young PhD candidate at Harvard, began thefirst of five summers of exploration along the coast of the Strait of Belle Isle.

Interested in studying early human activity in the area, he came to beequally fascinated with life in outport communities. During the summers of1949–50 and 1961–63, he explored the coast, travelling from one isolatedoutport village to the next, initially by open boat and later on rudimentaryroads, vividly capturing everyday life in his journals and through his extensiveKodachrome slides. In her introduction Priscilla Renouf places Harp’s story of rural northern Newfoundland in historical and anthropological context. She notes that there are economic and cultural continuities from prehistorictimes to the present and shows that the fundamental structure of outport lifebased on fishing and hunting remains today.

“Visually stunning and elegantly written narrative … Harp has transcendedthe role of scholar and emerged as photographer and storyteller. This book isworthy of shelf-sharing with other Newfoundland classics. It is easy to read,has no jargon, and is highly recommended as a resource book for the generalpublic and academics alike.”Latonia Hartery, Department of Archaeology, University of Calgary

Frontier Cattle Ranching in the Land and Times of Charlie Russell is the first ever in-depth, cross-border study of the cattle ranching frontiers on the northern Great Plains of North America.

Warren Elofson argues that although they lived on different sides of theforty-ninth parallel, the first cattlemen on the western Canadian prairies and in the state of Montana shared a common history. They both forged societiescomposed of a considerable number of people drawn from eastern homelandsby the visual media. They both started out with immense hope that was soonshattered by the natural and frontier environments. They were both dominatedby wealthy cattlemen mainly from the East and a popular cowboy culturesuited to the conditions of the frontier but designed in part by romance books,dime novels, and Wild West shows disseminated in New York, Chicago,Montreal, Toronto, London, and Edinburgh. They also went through a patternof agricultural development that was eventually to establish the mixed orranch-farm as the approach most suited to stock raising under northwesternconditions. And they helped to prepare the ground for the emergence ofpopulist political approaches in which local women as well as men coulddemand and attain a prominent place. Elofson describes in vivid detail thepower and influence of the so-called “cattle barons” as well as the lives of the ranch hands on the open range and in the saloons and brothels that dotted the streets of the frontier towns.

Warren M. Elofson, a former rancher in Alberta, is professor of history at the University of Calgary and the author of Cowboys, Gentlemen, and CattleThieves; Ranching on the Western Frontier and Somebody Else’s Money: The Walrond Ranch Story, 1883–1907.

Maps were an essential tool for the Hudson’s Bay Company and during thetwo centuries before Confederation the Company became the main mappingagency in British North America for the immense territory extending fromUngava Bay to the Pacific Ocean.

In A Country So Interesting Richard Ruggles describes and analyses themapping activities of more than 160 Company servants and surveyors as wellas the contributions of more than 50 Indians and Inuit who drew sketches andprovided original configurations. Also included are annotated catalogues of all the maps known to have been produced by the Hudson’s Bay Company and sixty-six reproductions of the most important maps and sketches.

The Hudson’s Bay Company was responsible for the largest collection inNorth America of manuscript charts and maps related to the fur trade andRuggles has produced the first and most comprehensive study of this uniqueand rich body of material.

richard i. rugglesWith a new foreword by Jennifer Brown

Why does the Great War seem part of modern memory when its rituals ofmourning and remembrance were traditional, romantic, even classical? In thishighly original history of memory, David Williams shows how classic GreatWar literature, including work by Remarque, Owen, Sassoon, and Harrison,was symptomatic of a cultural crisis brought on by the advent of cinema. Heargues that images from Geoffrey Malins’ hugely popular war film The Battleof the Somme (1916) collapsed social, temporal, and spatial boundaries, givingfilm a new cultural legitimacy, while the appearance of writings based oncinematic forms of remembering marked a crucial transition from a verbal to a visual culture. By contrast, today’s digital media are laying the ground for a return to Homeric memory, whether in History Television, the digitalMemory Project, or the interactive war museum.

Of interest to historians, classicists, media and digital theorists, literaryscholars, museologists, and archivists, Media, Memory, and the First WorldWar is a comparative study that shows how the dominant mode of communi -cation in a popular culture – from oral traditions to digital media – shapes the structure of memory within that culture.

“A brilliant book that deserves a large readership because it considers deepmatters in an impressively intelligent way … This is a stunning work ofimagination at so many levels – the reader is challenged by its speculative links and suggestions.” Winnipeg Free Press

David Williams is professor of English, St Paul’s College, University ofManitoba, and the author of Imagined Nations: Reflections on Media in Canadian Fiction.

Old and New World Highland Bagpiping provides a comprehensive biograph -ical and genealogical account of pipers and piping in highland Scotland andGaelic Cape Breton. The work is the result of over thirty years of oral fieldworkamong the last Gaels in Cape Breton, for whom piping fit unself-consciouslyinto community life, as well as an exhaustive synthesis of Scottish archival andsecondary sources.

Reflecting the invaluable memories of now-deceased new world Gaelic lore-bearers, John Gibson shows that traditional community piping in both the oldand new world Gàihealtachlan was, and for a long time remained, the same,exposing the distortions introduced by the tendency to interpret the writtenrecord from the perspective of modern, post-eighteenth-century bagpiping.Following up the argument in his previous book, Traditional Gaelic Bagpiping,1745–1945, Gibson traces the shift from tradition to modernism in the oldworld through detailed genealogies, focusing on how the social function of theScottish piper changed and step-dance piping progressively disappeared. Oldand New World Highland Bagpiping will stir controversy and debate in thepiping world while providing reminders of the value of oral history and theimportance of describing cultural phenomena with great care and detail.

“An excellent work, well researched, splendidly footnoted, a book anyonewith an interest in the subject will find a ‘must have.’”The Canadian Historical Review

John G. Gibson, a scholar of Gaelic culture and ethnographer who lives in Judique, Nova Scotia, is also the author of Traditional Gaelic Bagpiping,1745–1945 and The Back o’ the Hill.

Given Canada’s vast geography and uneven distribution of economic activity,almost all Canadians have at one time or another faced the question ofwhether an interprovincial move would make them better off.

Using a unique dataset based on income tax records, authors Kathleen Dayand Stanley Winer examine the factors influencing the decision to migratewithin Canada, paying special attention to the role of regional variation in thegenerosity of public policies including unemployment insurance, taxation, andpublic expenditure. The influence of extraordinary events such as the electionof a separatist government in Quebec and the closure of the east coast codfishery is also considered. They look at why we ought to be concerned aboutpublic policies that interfere with market-based incentives to move, provide a wealth of information on interregional differences in public policies andmarket conditions, and examine what other researchers have discovered aboutfiscally induced migration, culminating in a discussion of the likely impact of various policy changes on migration and provincial unemployment rates.

The authors’ assessment of the lessons to be learned from their own andpast research on policy-induced migration in Canada will be of interest tostudents of migration and policy makers alike.

In a highly networked world, where governments must cope with increasinglycomplex and inter-related policy problems, the capacity of policy makers towork intergovernmentally is not an option but a necessity.

Gregory Inwood, Carolyn Johns, and Patricia O’Reilly offer unique insightsinto intergovernmental policy capacity, revealing what key decision-makersand policy advisors behind the scenes think the barriers are to improvedintergovernmental policy capacity and what changes they recommend. Seniorpublic servants from all jurisdictions in Canada discuss the ideas, institutions,actors, and relations that assist or impede intergovernmental policy capacity.Covering good and bad economic times and comparing insiders’ concerns andrecommendations with those of scholars of federalism, public policy, andpublic administration, they provide a comparative analysis of major policyareas across fourteen governments.

Intergovernmental policy capacity, while of increasing importance, is notwell understood. By examining how the Canadian federation copes withtoday’s policy challenges, the authors provide guideposts for federations andgovernments around the world working on the major policy issues of our day.

A comparative analysis of what prevents governments in Canada from working together on today’s major policy challenges.

In the last seventy years, Quebec has changed from a society dominated by thesocial edicts of the Catholic Church and the economic interests of anglophonebusiness leaders to a more secular culture that frequently elects separatistpolitical parties and has developed the most comprehensive welfare state inNorth America. In Contemporary Quebec, leading scholars raise provocativequestions about the ways in which Quebec has been transformed since theSecond World War and offer competing interpretations of the reasons for the province’s quiet and radical revolutions.

Collecting the works of historians, political scientists, sociologists, experts in aboriginal studies and women’s studies, chapters consider issues rangingfrom language policies, to progressive changes in gender roles and norms, and intense debates surrounding issues of nationalism and identity. Providing a remarkably clear and engaging overview of the major themes, issues, andevents of Quebec history, culture, and politics, Contemporary Quebec is aninvaluable resource for history and Canadian studies courses, and an idealintroduction for anyone wanting to better understand this dynamic province.

Religious life in Canada has changed dramatically in recent decades due tosecularization and the population shifts resulting from urbanization andimmigration. New varieties of pluralism have emerged, entailing massivechanges in a culture once assumed to be almost uniformly Christian.God’s Plenty examines the religious landscape of Kingston, Ontario, in the

twenty-first century. The rich religious life of Kingston – a mid-sized city witha strong sense of its history and its status as a university town – is revealed in a narrative that integrates material from sociological and historical studies, websites, interviews, religious and literary scholarship, and personalexperience. In Kingston, as in every Canadian city, downtown parishes andcongregations have dwindled, disappeared, or moved to the suburbs. Atten -dance at mainline churches – and their political authority – has declined.Ethnic diversity has increased within Christian churches, while religiouscommunities beyond Christianity and Judaism have grown. Faith groups havesplit along liberal and conservative lines, and the number of those claiming to have no religion – or to be spiritual but not religious – has increased. Yetamidst all this, religion continues to be evident in institutions and public lifeand important to the lives of many Canadians.

A complete religious topography of a mid-sizedCanadian city in the early twenty-first century, inspired by the Harvard Pluralism Project.

The bungled demobilization of Canadians returning from the First World Warcontributed to a period of intense political, social, and economic upheaval. At the outbreak of the Second World War, Ottawa – having learned from theprevious domestic turmoil – immediately began planning for the return ofveterans, who ultimately numbered more than one million, to civilian life. On to Civvy Street tells the story of the development and administration of the resulting program, which shaped an entire generation.

Detailing the ways in which the Canadian government built on existingprograms for veterans, Peter Neary identifies the key figures and eventsresponsible for developing the orders and statutes that came to be known as the Veterans Charter, creating the Department of Veterans Affairs, andestablishing sweeping new benefits for servicemen and women. Comparingrehabilitation programs after the Second World War with those after the FirstWorld War, Neary reveals the lasting importance of the country’s new way ofexpressing its obligations to veterans. He shows that the measures developedto reintegrate them into civilian society became essential building blocks forthe Canadian welfare state and helped pave the way for the unprecedentedprosperity of the 1950s.

A comprehensive study of a fundamental change in the relationship betweengovernment and citizens, On to Civvy Street is also a timely reminder of thedebt the country owes its veterans.

Peter Neary is professor emeritus in the Department of History at The University of Western Ontario.

Quebec has never signed on to Canada’s constitution. After both majorattempts to win Quebec’s approval – the Meech Lake and CharlottetownAccords – failed, Quebec came within a fraction of a percentage point ofvoting for independence. Everyone Says No examines how the failure of theseaccords was depicted in French and English media and the ways in whichjournalists’ reporting failed to translate the differences between Quebec and the rest of Canada.

Focusing on the English- and French-language networks of the CanadianBroadcasting Corporation, Kyle Conway draws on the cbc/Radio Canada’srich print and video archive as well as journalists’ accounts of their reportingto revisit the story of the accords and the furor they stirred in both French andEnglish Canada. He shows that the cbc/Radio Canada’s attempts to translatelanguage and culture and encourage understanding among Canadians con -firmed viewers’ pre-existing assumptions rather than challenging them.

The first book to examine translation in Canadian news, Everyone Says Noalso provides insight into Canada’s constitutional history and the challengesfaced by contemporary public service broadcasters in increasingly multilingualand multicultural communities.

A look back at the failures of the media during the collapse of the Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords.

From Afghanistan and Iraq to Haiti, Cote d’Ivoire, and Egypt, ill-timed,fraudulent, or poorly managed elections have led to discord, violence, andeven regime change. While much of the international community viewselections as a critical milestone in the stabilization of war-torn societies,Elections in Dangerous Places shows how flawed elections can act as demo -cracy in reverse and diminish political legitimacy and stable governance.

Through a series of frank and incisive case studies of conflicted countries,contributors’ chapters challenge the centrality and timing of elections as a keypillar of reconstruction at a war’s end. They underline the dangers in rushingelections, compromising principles, and lowering the bar for what constitutesfree and fair elections in situations of conflict. The authors also underline theeconomic cost of elections in uncertain political situations and argue thatglobal taxpayers, who must bear the burden, are justified in questioning thevalue of ill-timed elections.

A candid and important study of political turmoil, Elections in DangerousPlaces provides valuable lessons and practical advice on how to better mitigateconflict and violence before, during, and after highly charged elections.

Millions of citizens from the Democratic Republic of Congo (drc) have beenkilled or displaced during decades of political corruption and military conflict.Many forced migrants are young people, who are often seen either as passivevictims or as radicalized and amoral child soldiers perpetuating the cycle of violence. Recounting Migration refutes these stereotypes by presenting youngCongolese refugees’ nuanced understanding of the complex power relationsthat affect their everyday lives.

Christina Clark-Kazak, a former international aid worker, uses extensive in-terviews done in Kampala and Kyaka II refugee settlement, Uganda, to presentthe narratives of ten young people living as refugees. Their accounts revealboth political awareness and individual agency in everyday and extraordinarycircumstances. The author shows how refugee youth seek to influence deci-sion-making processes in families, communities, and at policy levels throughformal and informal mechanisms, as well as through non-political channelssuch as education and music. She juxtaposes their interpretations of the situa-tions with the discourse and bureaucracy of international aid organizations,showing the sometimes radical differences between these perspectives. Clark-Kazak not only provides insight into the politics of labelling but offers recom-mendations for future research, policy, and programs for refugee young people.

A remarkable and compelling look at the lives of young refugees, Recount-ing Migration challenges stereotypes by giving these migrants a long-overdueopportunity to speak for themselves.

“Clark-Kazak captures the humanity of Congoleseyoung people through their stories, moving beyondthe identities that have been cast upon them bythe outside world.” Lieutenant-General the Honourable Roméo A. Dallaire (Ret’d)

There are numerous regions where movements for sovereignty or indepen -dence are seen as serious alternatives to the status quo. Quebec, Scotland,Catalonia, and Flanders have followed a generally non-violent, politicalprocess, while movements in Kashmir, the Basque Country, Chechnya, andKurdistan have led to militancy or civil war. Secessionism is the first work to examine why secessionist struggles occur and why some of them becomeviolent, while offering constructive suggestions for keeping the peace incontested regions.

Using innovative methods to analyze both advanced democracies anddeveloping countries, Jason Sorens shows how central governments canalleviate or increase ethnic minority demands for regional autonomy. Heargues that when countries treat secession as negotiable and provide legalpaths to pursuing it rather than absolutely prohibiting independence, violenceis far less likely. Additionally, independence movements encourage governmentpolicies of decentralization that may be beneficial to regional minorities.

An informative investigation of the root causes of political violence,Secessionism provides a clear-eyed look at independence movements for both governments and secessionists.

“A meticulously researched, thoughtful, and clearly written discussion ofcrucial developments in feminist liberal theory over the past fifty years. A tremendously valuable contribution to feminist theory.”Molly Shanley, Vassar College

A major issue in recent English-language feminist political thought has beenwhether liberalism can continue to serve feminist purposes or should berelegated to the past.

In The Return of Feminist Liberalism, Ruth Abbey examines the positions of three contemporary feminists – Martha Nussbaum, Susan Moller Okin, and Jean Hampton – who, notwithstanding decades of feminist critique, areunwilling to give up on liberalism. Abbey examines why, and in what ways,each of these theorists believes that liberalism offers the normative and political resources for the improvement of women’s lives. Going beyond theirshared allegiance to liberalism, Abbey explains and evaluates their theoreticaldifferences, and in so doing, goes to the heart of recent debates in feminist and political theory.

“It is likely to become the go-to resource for scholars and students interested in liberal feminism, or feminist liberalism.”Amy Baehr, Hofstra University, New York

Ruth Abbey is associate professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame.

As a playwright, novelist, political theorist, literary critic, and philosopher,Jean-Paul Sartre (1905–1980) remains an iconic figure. This book examines his philosophical ideas and methods.

Anthony Hatzimoysis gives readers a clear understanding of Sartre’s approachto the activity of philosophising and shows how his method favours certaintypes of analysis. Each chapter considers a range of issues in the Sartreancorpus, including his conception of phenomenology, the question of self-identity, the Sartrean view of conscious beings, his understanding of the self,his theory of value, his notion of human action as both the originator and theoutcome of social processes, dialectical reason, and his conception of artisticactivity.

Providing an introductory guide in plain language for the reader who wishesto understand Sartre’s philosophical arguments, The Philosophy of Sartrereconstructs key instances of Sartre’s philosophical reasoning at work andshows how certain questions arise for Sartre and what philosophical tools he uses to address those questions.

Anthony Hatzimoysis is assistant professor in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Athens.

In The Philosophy of Heidegger, Michael Watts provides an overview ofHeidegger’s thoughts that is suitable for both beginning and advancedstudents. Free from jargon and the standard idioms of academic philosophicalwriting, Watts uses several illustrations and concrete examples to introducekey Heideggrian concepts such as throwness, the clearing, authenticity, falling,moods, nullity, temporality, Ereignis, enframing, dwelling, and Gelassenheit.He avoids over-involvement with the secondary literature and with widerphilosophical debates, which gives the writing an immediate, accessible voice.

Ranging widely across Heidegger’s writings, the book displays an impres -sively thorough knowledge of his corpus, navigating the difficult relationshipbetween the earlier and later texts and giving the reader a strong sense of thefundamental motives and overall continuity of Heidegger’s thought.

“Michael Watts tackles Heidegger with exemplary skill, tenacity, and sobriety.He presents Heidegger’s thoughts in plain, uncluttered prose and steers thereader through the complexities of Heidegger’s terminology. A reliable andcongenial guide for one’s first approach to Heidegger.”Michael Inwood, University of Oxford

Michael Watts is a professional psychologist and independent writer. He haspublished widely on existentialist philosophy, including Kierkegaard.

One of the most radical philosophers of the twentieth century, Gilles Deleuzehas become hugely influential in philosophy, cultural studies, literature, art,and architecture. Gilles Deleuze: Key Concepts brings together leading special-ists from a variety of different disciplines in an easy-to-access primer onDeleuze’s work.

Deleuze’s concepts – such as assemblage, the fold, difference and repetition,cinema and desire – are key to understanding his philosophical approach: theywork to unsettle particular bodies of knowledge, to open them up and linkthem to other concepts within and outside that body of knowledge. The shortand accessible chapters in this book each focus on a single concept, offering adefinition and showing what the concept does. The contributors also considerhow the concepts are engaged, intersect, and link, and how they may deviatefrom other areas of postmodern thought.Gilles Deleuze: Key Concepts is aimed at a readership new to Deleuze both

from within philosophy and outside the discipline.

“Accessible and stimulating, this collection is to be recommended both fordrop-in and for season-ticket pursuants of Deleuze’s conceptual orchestra.”French Studies

Most philosophy students encounter Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason at somepoint in their studies, but at nearly seven hundred pages of detailed andcomplex arguments it can be a demanding and intimidating read.

Aimed at students coming to the book for the first time, James O’Shea’sshort introduction provides a step by step analysis of Kant’s text in clear,unambiguous prose. The conceptual problems Kant sought to resolve areoutlined, and his conclusions concerning the nature of the faculty of humanknowledge and the possibility of metaphysics as well as the arguments forthose conclusions are explored. In addition, O’Shea shows how the Critiquefits into the history of modern philosophy and how transcendental idealismaffected the course of philosophy. Key concepts are explained throughout and the student is provided with an excellent route map through the variousparts of the text.

In Time and Philosophy, John McCumber presents a detailed survey of con -tinental thought through a historical account of its key texts. The commontheme taken up in each text is how philosophical thought should respond to time.

Looking at the development of continental philosophy in both Europe and America, McCumber discusses philosophers ranging from Hegel, Marx,Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger, Arendt, Adorno and Horkheimer,Sartre, de Beauvoir, Foucault, and Derrida to the most influential thinkers oftoday – Agamben, Badiou, Butler, and Rancière. Throughout, McCumber’sconcern is to elucidate the primary texts for readers coming to these thinkersfor the first time, while revealing the philosophical rigour that underpins andconnects the history of continental thought.

“Time and Philosophy fills a great vacuum in the literature on continentalphilosophy, providing students with an invaluable orientation into thiscomplex tradition.” James Luchte, University of Wales Trinity Saint David

John McCumber is professor in the Department of Germanic Languages at ucla.

Followers of Pythagoras famously thought that the cosmos had a hiddenmusical structure and that wise philosophers would be able to hear this“harmony of the spheres.” J.B. Kennedy argues that Plato’s dialogues have an unsuspected musical structure and uses symbols to decode his Pythagoreandoctrines.

Kennedy shows that Plato gave his dialogues a similar musical structure,dividing each dialogue into twelve parts and inserting symbols at each twelfthto mark a musical note. These passages are either harmonious or dissonantand traverse the ups and downs of a known musical scale. Many of Plato’searly followers insisted that Plato used symbols to conceal his own viewswithin the dialogues, but modern scholars have denied this. Kennedy, anexpert in Pythagorean mathematics and music theory, is able to show thatPlato’s dialogues contain a system of symbols that are undetectable by thosewithout knowledge of obsolete Greek mathematics.

The book begins with a concise and accessible introduction to Plato’ssymbolic schemes and the role of allegory in ancient times. The author thenannotates the musical symbols in two of Plato’s most popular dialogues, theSymposium and Euthyphro, and shows that Plato used the musical scale as an outline for structuring his narratives.

J.B. Kennedy, lecturer in the Centre for the History of Science, Technology,and Medicine at the University of Manchester, is the author of Space, Time and Einstein.

The Musical Structure of Plato’s Dialoguesj.b. kennedy

How Plato used the musical scale as an outline for structuring his narratives.

Imagine living in the future in a world already damaged by humankind, aworld where resources are insufficient to meet everyone’s basic needs andwhere a chaotic climate makes life precarious. Then imagine looking into the past – back to our own time – and assessing the ethics of the early twenty-first century.

In Ethics for a Broken World, Tim Mulgan imagines how the future mightjudge us and how living in a time of global environmental degradation mightreshape the politics and ethics of the future. Presented as a series of “history of philosophy lectures” given in the future, studying the classic texts from apast age of affluence – our own – the central ethical questions of our time are shown to look very different from the perspective of a ruined world. By looking into the future to revisit the present, Mulgan aims to reimaginecontemporary philosophy in an historical context and, with the benefit ofhindsight, highlight the contingency of our own moral and political ideals.

Tim Mulgan is professor of moral and political philosophy at the University of St Andrews. His books include Understanding Utilitarianism.

The study of global ethics addresses some of the most pressing ethical concernstoday, including rogue states, torture, scarce resources, poverty, migration,consumption, global trade, medical tourism, and humanitarian intervention.How we resolve – or fail to resolve – the dilemmas of global ethics shapes howwe understand ourselves, our relationships with one another, and the socialand political frameworks of governance now and into the future. This is seenmost clearly in the case of climate change, where our actions now determinethe environment our grandchildren will inherit.

Heather Widdows introduces students to the theory and practice of globalethics, ranging over issues in global governance and citizenship, poverty anddevelopment, war and terrorism, bioethics, environmental and climate ethics,and gender justice.

“An excellent text that deserves to become the standard introduction to thetopic. An impressive achievement, the book is at once usable, engaging, andthought-provoking.” Bob Brecher, University of Brighton

Heather Widdows is professor of global ethics in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Birmingham and lead editor of the Journal of Global Ethics.

Global EthicsAn Introduction

heather widdows

“A superb analysis of the ethical issues that arise atthe global level. One particularly attractive feature of the book is the way it unites ethical analysis withdetailed accounts of the practical challenges that we face today.” Simon Caney, University of Oxford

In recent years many influential philosophers have argued that philosophy isan a priori science, yet few epistemology textbooks discuss a priori knowledgeat any length, focusing instead on empirical knowledge and justification.Although a priori knowledge has moved to centre stage, the literature remainseither too technical or too out-of-date to make up a reasonable component ofan undergraduate course.

Edwin Mares seeks to make the standard topics and current debates withina priori knowledge – including necessity and certainty, rationalism, empiricismand analyticity, Quine’s attack on the a priori, Kantianism, Aristotelianism,mathematical knowledge, moral knowledge, logical knowledge, and philo -sophical knowledge – accessible to students.

Edwin Mares is associate professor of philosophy at Victoria University ofWellington, New Zealand. His books include Realism and Anti-Realism.

Most of us care deeply about certain people and things, and some of theseconcerns become personal commitments, involving our values, our relation -ships, our work, and our religious or political stances. But what is commit -ment, and why should it matter? Is social commitment – for example, to thefamily – being eroded by individualism or ironic detachment? How should we deal with the potential tension between devotion to something and thedoubts prompted by pursuit of rational integrity?

Piers Benn delves into the relationship between commitment and meaningfullife, and asks whether commitment must be based on truth to provide suchmeaning. He also explores obstacles to commitment such as boredom, sloth,and indifference. Drawing on personal experience, Benn suggests that asceptical, cautious attitude to important matters can be a virtue but also an obstacle to human fulfillment.

Piers Benn has lectured in philosophy at the universities of St Andrews andLeeds, and in medical ethics and law at Imperial College London. He is theauthor of Ethics.

Nietzsche’s critiques of traditional modes of thinking, valuing, and living, aswell as his radical proposals for new alternatives, have been vastly influentialin a wide variety of areas, so that an understanding of his philosophy and itsinfluence is important for grasping many aspects of contemporary thought andculture. However Nietzsche’s thought is complex and elusive, and has been interpreted in many ways. Moreover, he has influenced starkly contrastingmovements and schools of thought, from atheism to theology, from existential-ism to poststructuralism, and from Nazism to feminism.

This book charts Nietzsche’s influence, both historically and thematically,across a variety of disciplines and schools of interpretation. It provides both an accessible introduction to Nietzsche’s thought and its impact and anoverview of contemporary approaches to Nietzsche.

“A superb achievement. The author’s coverage of the phenomenon of Nietzscheanism is admirably comprehensive and hugely instructive. Studentsand teachers alike will find lucid and informative accounts of the nature and impact of Nietzsche’s ideas on seminal movements in twentieth-centurythought such as existentialism, poststructuralism and naturalism, as well as helpful treatments of important topics such as Nietzsche and post-humanism and Nietzsche and politics.” Keith Ansell-Pearson, University of Warwick

Ashley Woodward lectures in philosophy at the University of Melbourne, Australia.

Theodor Adorno’s writings on Western music and the culture industry, alwaysprovocative and acerbic, have made his critical position on popular music well known, if not well understood. In Friendly Remainders Murray Dineenexamines and extends Adorno’s critical method.Friendly Remainders draws on Adorno’s concept of the negative dialectic,

examining its importance in Adorno’s thought and its critical application tomusical forms. Moving beyond a positivist view where musical object andappreciation operate as a synthesis, the negative dialectic method focuses ondivergence and dissonance in musical forms and in society. Contradictions and divergent details and concepts become “remainders,” friendly because of the fresh perspective they offer on musical forms. Dineen examines these contradictory remainders in subjects such as the fascist element inWagner’s character, the torpor of Schoenberg’s twelve-tone method, the self-contradiction implicit in Beethoven’s Late Style, Frank Zappa’s attempt todefine himself as a “serious” composer, the reactionary stasis in MarilynManson’s dvd “Guns, God and Government World Tour,” and the deathmotive in John Coltrane.Friendly Remainders takes seriously the project of making Adorno acces -

sible, asking the same questions of classical and popular music – taking themeasure of Mahler as much as Manson – for the value of the critical insightsthey provoke.

Murray Dineen is professor of music theory and musicology at the Universityof Ottawa.

Friendly RemaindersEssays in Music Criticism after Adorno

murray dineen

A critical look at modern music from Beethovenand Coltrane to Schoenberg and Zappa.

Whether in the reception of rousing political oratory like that of de Gaulle or Martin Luther King or in the motivations of demonstrators in popularuprisings like those in Tunisia and Egypt, there is no denying that emotion andpolitics are connected. Nonetheless, criticism of political debate and discourseas emotionally (rather than rationally) based is ubiquitous and emotion isoften presented as a negative factor in politics. Public Passion shows thatreason and emotion are not mutually exclusive and restores the legitimacy of shared emotion in political life.Public Passion traces the role of emotion in political thought from its pro -

mi nence in classical sources, through its resuscitation by Montesquieu, to thepresent moment. Combining intellectual history, philosophy, and politicaltheory, Rebecca Kingston develops a sophisticated account of collectiveemotion that demonstrates how popular sentiment is compatible with debate,pluralism, and individual agency and shows how emotion shapes the tone of interactions among citizens. She also analyzes the ways in which emotionsare shared and transmitted among citizens of a particular regime, payingparticular attention to the connection between political institutions and thepsychological dispositions that they foster. Public Passion presents illuminating new ways to appreciate the forms of

popular will and reveals that emotional understanding by citizens may in factbe the very basis through which a commitment to principles of justice can be sustained.

Rebecca Kingston is associate professor of political science at the University of Toronto.

In a ground-breaking study on the nature of judicial behaviour in the SupremeCourt of Canada, Donald Songer, Susan Johnson, C.L. Ostberg, and MatthewWetstein use three specific research strategies to consider the ways in whichjustices seek to make decisions grounded in “good law” and to show howthese decisions are shaped within a collegial court.

The authors use confidential interviews with Supreme Court justices, analy-sis of their rulings from 1970 to 2005, and measures that tap their perceivedideological tendences to provide a critical examination of the ideological roots of judicial decision making, uncovering the complexity of contemporaryjudicial behaviour. Examining judicial behaviour through the lens of three different research strategies grounded in qualitative and quantitative method-ologies, Law, Ideology, and Collegiality presents compelling evidence that political ideology is a key factor in decision making and a prominent source of conflict in the Supreme Court of Canada.

A sweeping analysis of Canadian Supreme Court decision making using in-depth interviews and sophisticated methodology.

This book is the product of Donald Akenson’s decades of research and writingon Irish social history and its relationship to the Irish diaspora – it is also theproduct of a lifetime of trying to figure out where Swedish-America actuallycame from, and why. These two matters, Akenson shows, are intimately re-lated. Ireland and Sweden each provide a tight case study of a larger phenome-non, one that, for better or worse, shaped the modern world: the GreatEuropean Diaspora of the “true” nineteenth century.

Akenson’s book parts company with the great bulk of recent emigration research by employing sharp transnational comparisons and by situating thetwo case studies in the larger context of the Great European Migration and ofwhat determines the physics of a diaspora: no small matter, as the concept ofdiaspora has become central to twenty-first-century transnational studies. Heargues (against the increasing refusal of mainstream historians to use empiricaldatabases) that the history community still has a lot to learn from economichistorians and, simultaneously, that (despite the self-confidence of their pro- ponents) narrow, economically based explanations of the Great European Migration leave out many of the most important aspects of the whole complextransaction. Akenson believes that culture and economic matters both countand that leaving either one on the margins of explanation yields no valid explanation at all.

Donald Harman Akenson is Douglas Professor of Canadian and Colonial History at Queen’s University.

The relative importance of heredity or environmental influence remains anenduring, hotly debated issue, while the legacy of scientific racism and sexismstill tarnishes the twenty-first century. This unique study analyzes how theoriesof inherited difference – including race and gender – affected French socialscientists in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The prevailing assumption has been that French ethnographers highlightedthe cultural and social environment while anthropologists emphasized thescientific study of head and body shapes. Martin Staum shows that thetemptation to gravitate towards one pole of the nature-nurture continuumoften resulted in reluctant concessions to the other side. PsychologistsThéodule Ribot and Alfred Binet, for example, were forced to recognize the importance of social factors. Non-Durkheimian sociologists were dividedon the issue of race and gender as progressive and tolerant attitudes on racedid not necessarily correlate with flexible attitudes on gender. Recognizing this allows Staum to raise questions about the theory of the equivalence of all marginalized groups.

Anthropological institutions re-organized before the First World Warsometimes showed decreasing confidence in racial theory but failed to abandonit completely. Staum’s chilling epilogue discusses how the persistent legacy ofsuch theories was used by extremist anthropologists outside the mainstream to deploy racial ideology as a basis of persecution in the Vichy era.

Martin S. Staum is professor emeritus of history, University of Calgary, andauthor of Labeling People: French Scholars on Society, Race, and Empire,1815–1848 and Minerva’s Message: Stabilizing the French Revolution.

While the role of the university president has evolved dramatically in recentyears, the recruitment pool and selection process have changed little since the1960s. In Leadership Under Fire, Ross Paul combines leadership theory, inter-views with eleven of Canada’s most successful presidents, and thirty-five yearsof personal experience to shed light on the complexity and importance of lead-ing a university and identifies some of the critical challenges and opportunitiesfacing Canadian universities today.

Paul illuminates some of the ways in which Canadian universities are uniqueand uses these differences to make clear the importance of organizational cul-tural and institutional fit for leaders confronting critical academic issues suchas academic leadership and accountability, student success and support, univer-sity funding and fund-raising, strategic planning, government and communityrelations, and internationalism. His analysis reaffirms some long-standingpractices, while arguing that changes are badly needed in others.

While much has been written about university leadership elsewhere, Leader-ship Under Fire focuses on Canada and some of the men and women whohave made a real difference to the quality of its post-secondary institutions.Paul builds on their stories to offer useful perspectives and advice at a timewhen the quality of universities was never more critical to the country’s eco-nomic, social, and political success.

Ross H. Paul has held senior leadership positions in four post-secondary insti-tutions in three Canadian provinces over the past thirty-five years, includingtenures as president of Laurentian and Windsor Universities.

Continuing its tradition of timely and exemplary scholarship, the 2011–2012edition of How Ottawa Spends examines national politics, priorities, andpolicies, with an emphasis on the austerity measures and budget-cuttingstrategy of the Harper Conservative government; it also includes an analysis of the outcome of the federal election in May 2011.

Leading scholars from across Canada examine a new era of “life under the knife” in the context of the Harper agenda after five years in power, thepartisan calculus of a minority Parliament, and a deep global recession still incrisis mode. Given the budget-related pressure for an election, the book posesquestions about the degree to which the budget agenda involves the politicalarts of “trimming fat” versus “slicing the pork” of partisan spending. Severalclosely linked political, policy, and spending realms are examined, includingeconomic stimulus, environmental assessment, energy and climate change,health care, science and technology, immigration, and northern strategy(including affordable housing). Related governance issues such as the use ofnew media, regulatory budget cuts, Industry Canada as an economic regulator,and federal compensation costs are also discussed in detail.

In recent years, there has been increased recognition of the need for a morecoordinated and holistic approach to government security operations. To thisend, various Canadian government departments have been investigating theeffectiveness of a new collective approach to security operations known as the Comprehensive Approach. Such an undertaking would bring together the efforts of government departments, non-governmental organizations, and private sector entities to work towards a shared goal.

Considerable progress has been made with this approach but questionsremain regarding its sustainability. The authors demonstrate that the researchand experience of academics and practitioners can be consolidated as Canadaattempts to create a new standard for dealing with the security challenges ofthe 21st century.

This compelling volume examines changes to immigration flows and policyduring the global economic crisis in the late 2000’s. A series of analyses ofcountries and regions explores to what extent the crisis has affected migrantdecisions, migration outcomes, and national policies. Authors also look atwhat the long-term effects may be on protection of migrants, support forimmigration, labour markets, and the need for foreign workers.

Finally, contributors consider whether changes are likely to be fleeting or enduring and whether these changes fundamentally transform the way we think of migration flows and the role of migration policies.

Academic ReformPolicy Options for Improving theQuality and Cost-effectiveness ofUndergraduate Education in Ontario

ian d. clark, david trick, and richard van loon

An exploration of how universities can affordablyincrease the effectiveness of their undergraduateprograms.

The Federal Idea is a collection of more than thirty papers by Canadian andinternational scholars on a wide range of issues relating to the theory andpractice of federalism.

The first section, Celebrating Ron Watts, assesses Ronald Watts’ academiccontributions to the study of federalism (including comparative federalism) as well as his important role as an advisor to federations across the globe.

The second section, The Federal Idea: Concepts, explores different perspec -tives on federalism, both constitutional and citizen-related, and assesses thesuccesses and failures of the federal idea.

The final section, The Federal Idea: Practice, addresses a range of policiesand practices in individual federations. In addition to case studies, the contri -butors deal with such issues as fiscal federalism, intergovernmental relations,federalism in the European Union, Scottish devolution, and the differingapproaches to upper chambers.

Academic Reform provides realistic policy options for improving the qualityand cost-effectiveness of undergraduate education in Ontario. The authorsbegin with the premise that the teacher-scholar ideal pursued by individualuniversities has led to a model for undergraduate education in Ontario that is financially unsustainable and does not provide the best possible educationfor undergraduate students. Drawing on literature and recent policy initiativesin the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, United States, and Canada, theauthors show how to provide high-quality education to an ever-expandingnumber of students at a cost that is affordable to both students andgovernments.Academic Reform explores ways to sharpen the universities’ focus on

undergraduate teaching and increase the number of students withoutdiminishing Ontario’s ability to attract and retain university researchers of the highest calibre.

In an increasingly interconnected environment, shocks, crises, cascadingfailures, and surprising breakthroughs are features of our age. The ability toanticipate, intervene, innovate, and adapt is now seen as essential for govern -ments. Public officials serve in an expanded public space that is being reshapedby the rise of social networking and modern information and communicationtechnologies. The desired results on many public issues exceed the reach andresources of government.A New Synthesis of Public Administration sets out a theoretical framework

that takes this new reality into account. It reveals how government forms partof a co-evolving system between people and society, where public results are a shared responsibility and citizens are respected as important creators ofpublic value.

In the decades since the Second World War, immigration has reshaped the racial,ethnic, religious, and linguistic diversity of many countries. While policies,programs, discourse, and public opinion vary across countries, concerns aboutsocial cohesion have been persistent and have increased in the wake of anti-immigrant politics and global economic insecurity.Diverse Nations, Diverse Responses provides a rich overview of the histori -

cal, demographic, and political forces that shape social cohesion. It also pro -vides a comparative analysis of the policy goals that have been pursued, theprograms that have been implemented, the ways that social cohesion has beendefined and measured, and the effects of such issues on immigrants, minorities,and host communities. The volume provides a cross-national conversation onapproaches to social cohesion and will appeal to researchers, policy-makers,and practitioners interested in immigration, diversity management, and thefactors that affect policy choice, diversity, and outcomes.

From 1937 to 1939, a group of French intellectuals of diverse origins anddisciplines gathered under the leadership of Georges Bataille and Roger Cailloisto form the Collège de Sociologie. Inspired by Durkheim’s theory of the sacred as the symbolic foundation of community, and having witnessed theimportance of symbolic aesthetics in the rise of fascism during the interwaryears, the short-lived but profoundly innovative Collège examined thepossibilities for social bonds in the modern secularized era.Rethinking the Political demonstrates that the Collège de Sociologie’s quest

to create a new place for the sacred in modern collective life ostensibly entailedavoiding the theorization of both aesthetics and politics. While the Collègecondemned manipulation by totalitarian regimes, its understanding ofcommunity also led to a rejection of democratic and communist forms ofpolitical organization, leaving the group open to accusations of flirting withfascism. Acknowledging these political ambiguities, the author goes beyond a narrow ideological reading to reveal the Collège’s important contribution toour thinking about the relationships between community formation, politics,aesthetics, and the sacred in the modern world. She expands her historicalaccount of the members’ thought, including their relationship to Surrealism,beyond the group’s dissolution, and shows how the work of Claude Lefortextends, but also resolves, many of the Collège’s key theoretical insights.

A fascinating study of some of the twentieth-century’s most daring thinkers,Rethinking the Political offers crucial insights into the contradictions at play in modern notions of community that still resonate today.

A compelling account of a controversial and innovative episode in sociological thought.

Samuel Koteliansky (1880–1955) fled the pogroms of Russia in 1911 andestablished himself as a friend of many of Britain’s literati and intellectuals,who were fascinated by his homeland’s more civilized side: the Ballets Russes,Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Chekhov. Kot, as he was known, soon became anindispensable guide to Russian culture for England’s leading writers, artists,and intellectuals, who in turn helped introduce English audiences to Russian works.A Russian Jew of Bloomsbury looks at the remark able life and influence

that an outsider had on the tightly knit circle of Britain’s cultural elite. AmongKoteliansky’s friends were Katherine Mansfield, Leonard and Virginia Woolf –for whose Hogarth Press he translated many Russian classics – Mark Gertler,Lady Ottoline Morrell, H.G. Wells, and Dilys Powell. But it was his close and turbulent friendship with D.H. Lawrence, with whom he had copiouscorrespondence, that proved to be Koteliansky’s lasting legacy. In a lively andvibrant narrative, Galya Diment shows how, despite Kot’s determination, hecould never shake off the dark aspects of his past or overcome the streak ofanti-Semitism that ran through British society and could be found in many of his famous literary friends.

A stirring account of the early-twentieth century, Jewish émigré life, andEnglish and Russian letters, A Russian Jew of Bloomsbury casts new light –and shadows – on the giants of English modernism.

Galya Diment is chair and professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures,University of Washington, Seattle.

Students of the French Revolution and of women’s right are generally familiarwith Olympe de Gouges’s bold adaptation of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. However, her Rights of Woman has usually beenextracted from its literary context and studied without proper attention to the political consequences of 1791.

In Between the Queen and the Cabby, John Cole provides the first full trans-lation of de Gouges’s Rights of Woman and the first systematic commentary on its declaration, its attempt to envision a non-marital partnership agreement,and its support for persons of colour. Cole compares and contrasts de Gouges’stwo texts, explaining how the original text was both her model and her foil. By adding a proposed marriage contract to her pamphlet, she sought to turnthe ideas of the French Revolution into a concrete way of life for women. Further examination of her work as a playwright suggests that she supportedequality not only for women but for slaves as well. Cole highlights the histori-cal context of de Gouges’s writing, going beyond the inherent sexism and misogyny of the time in exploring why her work did not receive the reaction or achieve the influential status she had hoped for.

John R. Cole is the Thomas Hedley Reynolds Professor of History at BatesCollege in Lewiston, Maine.

Recesses of the Mind explores Guðbergur Bergsson’s aesthetics of life andliterature. Bergsson – like so many writers whose language is not widelyspoken or read – is scarcely known outside his homeland, but the sychologicaldepth of his vision reveals the minds of his characters in ways that arereminiscent of novelists such as Hamsun, Faulkner, and Garcia Márquez.

Birna Bjarnadóttir constructs a deep and compre hensive argument forBergsson’s significance as a master of narrative. Crossing centuries, oceans, and continents, her contextualization of Bergsson’s aesthetics stretches fromhis native land’s literary tradition to the cultural domains of Europe and Northand South America. Her investigation of his ideas on beauty, love, and belief,presented as a dialogue between Bergsson and numerous other writers andphilosophers – Plotinus, Augustine, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Blanchot – is astriking reflection on some of the most important questions of modern times. Recesses of the Mind introduces a profound writer to the international

stage. The book’s exploration of the cultural periphery is equally significant,suggesting new interpretative strategies for considering cultural contributionsfrom isolated places.

Birna Bjarnadóttir is the chair and acting head of the Department of IcelandicLanguage and Literature, University of Manitoba.

When injured soldiers returned from the First World War and needed toconvalesce from severe injuries and trauma, a group of women were ready tohelp. Then known as “ward aides,” these women – many of whom were artistsor teachers – used simple craft activities to raise morale, build self-esteem, andteach skills. Restoring the Spirit illuminates the origins of occupational therapyin Canada and shows how the profession became an indispensable part ofmodern health care.

Tracing the influence of popular political and social movements of the time,including the Mental Hygiene, Arts and Crafts, and Settlement House move -ments, Judith Friedland tells the stories of pioneering women in the field and describes how they established professional associations, workshops, and educational programs. She highlights the help they received from malephysicians, which gave them access to those with decision-making power, and examines their work in both rural and urban environments with thosefrom different economic and ethnic backgrounds.

An informative look at the origins of a field that now has over thirteenthousand practitioners in Canada, Restoring the Spirit is also the compellingstory of the rise of working women and their crucial contributions to thehistory of health care.

Restoring the SpiritThe Beginnings of OccupationalTherapy in Canada, 1890–1930

judith friedlandForeword by Christie Brenchley

and Gail Teachman

How great is the environment’s role in shaping the history of a region? TheOrdinary People of Essex systematically analyzes the use of land in UpperCanada, particularly the influence of agricultural activity on the area.Presenting the findings of an impressive collection of statistical data, JohnClarke creates a detailed map and rich history of the region by tracking thesuccesses and failures of land practices commonly employed by settlers inEssex County.

Clarke covers a remarkable number of topics, including geographic factorsin the choice of agricul tural land, land acquisition and clearance, energyexpended in clearing and planting the land, and selection of specific crops andtheir extent and yields in particular combinations of soils. He also invest igatesthe geographic parameters for wheat production – which drove the localeconomy – and the cultural origins of farmers as it relates to their use ofintensive and extensive agriculture.

Brimming with detail and expert analysis, The Ordinary People of Essex isan illuminating study of settler life and the conditions that make it possible to found a community. It complements the author’s award-winning Land,Power, and Economics.

John Clarke is a Distinguished Research Professor at Carleton University and arecent recipient of the Canadian Association of Geographers’ award for serviceto Ontario geography.

Michael Behiels’ study of the intellectual origins of Quebec’s Quiet Revolutionof the 1960s provides the most comprehensive account to date of the two competing ideological movements that emerged after the Second World War to challenge the tenets of traditional French-Canadian nationalism.

The neo-nationalists, a group of young intellectuals and journalists centeredaround Le Devoir and L’Action nationale in Montreal, set out to reformulateQuebec nationalism in terms of a modern, secular, urban-industrial society that would be fully “master in its own house.” An equally dedicated group ofFrench Canadians of liberal and social democratic persuasion was centredaround the periodical Cité libre – one of whose editors was Pierre Trudeau –and had links with organized labour. Citélibristes sought to remove what theysaw as the major obstacles to the creation of a modern francophone society:the influence of clericalism inherent in the Catholic church’s control of educa-tion and the social services, and the persistence among Quebec’s intelligentsiaof an outmoded nationalism that advocated the preservation of a rural andelitist society and neglected the development of the individual and the pursuitof social equality. Behiels delineates the divergent societal models proposed by the two movements, focusing on such themes as the critique of traditionalnationalism, the roles of church, state, and labour, the reform of education,and the search for a third party.

Michael D. Behiels is professor of history and University Research Chair,Canadian Federalism and Constitutional Studies at the University of Ottawa.
