From Treaty Peoples to Treaty Nation


A Road Map for All Canadians
Greg Poelzer and Ken S. Coates
Poelzer and Coates have written a book that is not only a history primer
on Aboriginal-colonial relations but a source document of leading-edge
thinkers from both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal circles. Perhaps
most importantly, it offers options for all of us who yearn for improved
relationships and long-term reconciliation with Aboriginal people.
Chuck Strahl, former minister of Indian and Northern Affairs

"The most balanced and fair-minded treatment of Aboriginal issues in


Canada that I have ever read."
Jonathan Kay, Walrus magazine editor-in-chief

Provocative, vigorous, and on every page, interesting.


Frances Abele, expert on federal northern policy and professor of public policy at
Carleton University

Canada is a country founded on relationships and treaties between


Indigenous people and newcomers. Although recent court cases have
strengthened Aboriginal rights, the cooperative spirit of the treaties is
being lost as Canadians engage in endless arguments about First Nations
issues. Greg Poelzer and Ken Coates breathe new life into these debates by
looking at approaches that have failed and succeeded in the past and offering
all Canadians from policy makers to concerned citizens realistic steps
forward. The road ahead is clear: if all Canadians take up their responsibilities
as treaty peoples, Canada will become a leader among treaty nations.

Far Off Metal River


Inuit Lands, Settler Stories, and the Making of the Contemporary Arctic
Emilie Cameron
Drawing on Samuel Hearnes gruesome account of
an alleged massacre at Bloody Falls in 1771, Emilie
Cameron reveals how Qablunaat (non-Inuit, nonIndigenous people) have used stories about the
Arctic for over two centuries as a tool to justify
ongoing colonization and economic exploitation
of the North. Rather than expecting Inuit to
counter these narratives with their own stories
about their homeland, Cameron argues that it is
the responsibility of Qablunaat to develop new
relationships with northerners ones grounded in
the political, cultural, economic, environmental,
and social landscapes of the contemporary Arctic.

EDUCATION

Learning and Teaching Together


Weaving Indigenous Ways of Knowing into Education
Michele T.D. Tanaka
Across Canada, teachers unfamiliar with
Aboriginal approaches to learning are seeking
ways to respectfully weave Aboriginal content
into their lessons. This book introduces an
indigenist approach to education. It recounts how
pre-service teachers immersed in a crosscultural
course in British Columbia began to practise
Indigenous ways of knowing. Working alongside
Indigenous wisdom keepers, they transformed
earth fibres into a mural and, in the process,
their own ideas about learning and teaching. By
revealing how these students worked to integrate
Indigenous ways of knowing into their practice,
this book opens a path for teachers to nurture
indigenist crosscultural understanding in their
classrooms.

Tellings from Our Elders: Lushootseed sy y hub


Volume 1: Snohomish Texts
David Beck and Thom Hess, as told by Martha Williams Lamont, Elizabeth Charles Krise,
Edward Sam, and Agnes Jules James
Rich in cultural and linguistic information, the
traditional stories of the Coast Salish contain
the keys to cultural revitalization. This book
presents eighteen stories in Snohomish, a dialect
of Lushootseed, the language of the Indigenous
peoples who live in the Puget Sound basin, as
told by the last generation to learn the language
as its mother tongue. Many of these stories or
sy yhub were recorded decades ago, but few
were transcribed, and even fewer analyzed. Deep
understanding of the structure and logic of these
texts has eluded linguists. This landmark study
provides this analysis, helping to ensure that the
language will live on for future generations.

Cleaner, Greener, Healthier


A Prescription for Stronger Canadian Environmental Laws
and Policies
David R. Boyd
Despite Canadas enduring image as a natural paradise, every year
thousands of Canadians become ill or die prematurely as a result of
exposure to environmental hazards. Canadians understand that their
health is inextricably linked to the health of the environment and are
deeply concerned about the impacts of toxic substances on themselves and
their children.
In Cleaner, Greener, Healthier, David Boyd sets out to remedy Canadas
environmental health problems. He begins by assessing the environmental
burden of disease, identifies its unequal distribution along racial and
socio-economic lines, and estimates the associated economic costs. He then
compares Canadian environmental laws and policies with those in the United
States, Australia, and the European Union, delivering a provocative diagnosis
of the root causes of Canadas second-rate standards. Finally, drawing on
strategies that protect citizens in other countries, Boyd prescribes legal
remedies that will enable Canada to catch up with the worlds environmental
leaders without as is so often feared harming the economy.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH

Our Chemical Selves


Gender, Toxics, and Environmental Health
Edited by Dayna Nadine Scott
Everyday exposures to common chemicals
found in homes, schools, and workplaces have
devastating long-term and inter-generational
consequences on human health. At the same
time, the risks associated with these exposures
(and the burdens of managing them) rest
disproportionately on the shoulders of women.
Written by leading researchers in science,
law, and public policy, the chapters in Our
Chemical Selves critically examine the system
that manufactures the chemicals as well as the
social, political, and gender relations that enable
harmful chemicals to continue being produced
and consumed. This book demonstrates the
urgent need to revise existing approaches to the
regulation of toxic substances in Canada.

A Town Called Asbestos


Environmental Contamination, Health, and Resilience in a Resource Community
Jessica van Horssen
For decades, manufacturers from around
the world relied on asbestos from the town of
Asbestos, Quebec, to produce fire-retardant
products. Then, over time, people learned about
the minerals devastating effects on human
health. Dependent on this deadly industry
for their communitys survival, the residents
of Asbestos developed a unique, place-based
understanding of their local environment; the
risks they faced living next to the giant opencast
mine; and their place within the global resource
trade. This book unearths the local-global
tensions that defined Asbestoss proud and
painful history to reveal the challenges similar
resource communities have faced and continue

Resettling the Range


Animals, Ecologies, and Human Communities in British Columbia
John Thistle
The ranchers who resettled British Columbias
interior in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries depended on grassland for their cattle,
but in this they faced some unlikely competition
from grasshoppers and wild horses. With the
help of the government, settlers resolved to rid
the range of both. Resettling the Range explores
the ecology and history of the grasslands and the
people who lived there by looking closely at these
eradication efforts. In the process, the author
uncovers in claims of range improvement and
rational land use more complicated stories of
dispossession and marginalization.

The People and the Bay


A Social and Environmental History of Hamilton Harbour
Nancy B. Bouchier and Ken Cruikshank
This book explores the complicated relationship
between Hamilton Harbour and the people who
came to reside on its shores. From the time of
European settlement through to Hamiltons rise
as an industrial city, townsfolk struggled with
nature, and with one another, to champion their
vision of the bay as a place to live, work, and
play. The authors bring to life the personalities
and power struggles, drawing on a rich collection
of archival materials. Along the way, they
challenge readers to consider how moral and
political choices being made about the natural
world today will shape the cities of tomorrow.

Planning Toronto
The Planners, The Plans, Their Legacies, 1940-80

PL ANNING

Richard White
Paris is famous for romance. Chicago, the blues. Buenos Aires, the tango.
And Toronto? Well, Canadas largest urban centre is known for being a city
that works a remarkably livable metropolis for its size. In this lavishly
illustrated book, Richard White reveals how urban planning contributed to
Toronto becoming a functional, world-class city. Focusing on the period from
1940 to 1980, he examines how planners shaped the city and its development
amid a maelstrom of local and international obstacles and influences.
Based on meticulous research of Torontos postwar plans and supplemented
by dozens of interviews, Planning Toronto provides a comprehensive and
lively explanation of how Torontos postwar plans city, metropolitan, and
regional came to be, who devised them, and what impact they had. When it
comes to the history of urban planning, the question may not be whether a
particular plan was good or bad but whether in the end it made a difference.
As White demonstrates, in Torontos case planning did matter just not
always as might be expected.

RICHARD WHITE is a lecturer in Canadian History at the University of


Toronto, Mississauga. A recognized expert in Toronto planning history, he
developed an interest in the history of urban planning while serving as
research director for the Neptis Foundation, a non-partisan organization
that conducts and disseminates research on Canadas urban regions. He has
published several articles and given numerous talks on aspects of Torontos
planning history.

Public Interest, Private Property


Law and Planning Policy in Canada
Edited by Anneke Smit and Marcia Valiante
When it comes to urban planning, to what
extent and under what conditions should the
communitys interest prevail over the rights of
private property owners? Public Interest, Private
Property addresses this question at a time when
pollution, urban sprawl, and condo booms
are forcing municipal governments to adopt
prescriptive laws and regulations. Case studies
focus on spheres in which public values and
private property rights collide expropriation law,
natural resources regulation, green development,
or water provision laying the groundwork for
more active debates on the values and interests
currently shaping our cities.

The Proposal Economy


Neoliberal Citizenship in Ontarios Most Historic Town
Pamela Stern and Peter V. Hall
In 2001 the northern Ontario town of Cobalt won
a competition to be named the provinces Most
Historic Town. This honour came as Cobalters
were also applying for and winning federal and
provincial development grants to remake this
once important silver mining centre. This book,
based on extended ethnographic and multimethod research, examines the multiple ways
that development proposal writing is intertwined
with neoliberal citizenship. The authors
argue that the citizens of Cobalt have become
entrenched in a proposal economy, a system
that empowers them to imagine, engage, and
propose but not to count on the state to provide
certain services.

Leaky Governance
Alternative Service Delivery and the Myth of Water Utility Independence
Kathryn Furlong
One response to water supply challenges faced
by municipalities has been to render utilities
independent from municipal government
through alternative service delivery (ASD). For its
proponents, ASD provides needed autonomy from
municipal government; for its detractors, it is
privatization under another name. Using Ontario
as a case study, Kathryn Furlong paints a complex
picture of both ASD and municipal government.
Examining organizational models for water
supply and how they are affected by shifting
governance and institutional environments,
she reveals water management and municipal
governance to be deeply interdependent and
contends that both must be strengthened to meet
contemporary water supply needs.

Resource Communities in a Globalizing Region


Development, Agency, and Contestation in Northern British Columbia
Edited by Paul Bowles and Gary N. Wilson
Northern British Columbia has always played an
important role in Canadas economy, but for many
Canadians it also existed as an almost forgotten
place: a vast territory where only a few roads and
a ferry system connected small cities, towns, and
villages to the outside world. Now, as the appetite
for natural resources intensifies, this resourcerich and geographically important region is being
pulled onto national and global economic stages.
This timely volume examines the connections
between local development and global forces and
how governments, Aboriginal peoples, organized
labour, NGOs, and the private sector are adapting
to, resisting, and embracing change.

Islands Spirit Rising


Reclaiming the Forests of Haida Gwaii
Louise Takeda
Set in the rich natural, cultural, and political
landscape of Haida Gwaii, Islands Spirit Rising
examines the long-term conflict over the islands
ancient forests and recent events that unfolded in
the context of collaborative land-use planning. In
response to threats posed by a century of logging,
a local Indigenous-environmental-community
movement built enough momentum to challenge
the multinational forest industry and the political
structures enabling it. This book traces the
evolution of this dynamic force, from the early
days of Haida resistance to the modern context
of alliances, legal battles, and evolving forms of
governance.

Where the Rivers Meet


Pipelines, Participatory Resource Management, and Aboriginal-State Relations in the
Northwest Territories
Carly A. Dokis
Where the Rivers Meet is an ethnographic account
of Sahtu Dene involvement in the environmental
assessment of the Mackenzie Gas Project, a
massive pipeline that, if completed, would have
unprecedented effects on Aboriginal communities
in the North. Oil and gas companies now recognize
that industrial projects in the Canadian North
can only succeed if Aboriginal communities are
involved in decision-making processes. However,
this book reveals that while there has been some
progress in establishing avenues for Dene
participation in decision making, the ultimate
assessment of such projects remains rooted in nonlocal beliefs about the nature of the environment,
the commodification of land, and the inevitability
of a hydrocarbon-based economy.

Big Tent Politics


The Liberal Partys Long Mastery of Canadas Public Life
R. Kenneth Carty
The Liberal Party of Canada is one of the most successful parties in the
democratic world. It dominated Canadian politics for a century, practising an
inclusive style of big tent politics that allowed it to fend off opponents on
both the left and right. How did it do this? What kind of party organization
did it build over the decades to manage its remarkable string of election
victories? And has its long mastery of Canadian politics finally come to an end?
This book traces the record of the party over the twentieth century,
revealing the cyclical character of its success and charting its capacity to
respond to change. It also unwraps Liberal practices and organization to
reveal the partys distinctive brokerage approach to politics as well as a
franchise-style structure that tied local grassroots supporters to the national
leadership. These were the key elements of the winning formula that drew
Canadians of all political stripes to the Liberal Party over the years.
R. Kenneth Carty provides a masterful analysis of how one party came to
lead the nations public life. In a country riven by difference, the Liberals
enduring political success was an extraordinary feat. But, as Carty reflects,
given the partys latest travails, will it be able to reinvent itself, yet again,
for the twenty-first century?

Framed
Media and the Coverage of Race in Canadian Politics
Erin Tolley
The first book on the medias coverage of race
in Canadian politics, Framed is based on an
empirical analysis of print media combined with
in-depth interviews of elected officials, former
candidates, political staffers, and journalists.
While there are few examples of overt racism
in newspapers, Erin Tolley reveals how racial
assumptions and narratives frame news stories
and, subsequently, the experiences of those
who enter political life. Connecting the dots,
she argues that current reporting trends are
weakening Canadas commitment to a robust,
inclusive democracy. Framed is a wake-up call
for those who think that race does not matter in
Canada.

Parties and Party Systems


Structure and Context
Edited by Richard Johnston and Campbell Sharman
Party systems. Party organization. For too long,
scholars researching in these two areas have
worked in isolation. This book bridges the divide
by bringing together political scientists from both
traditions to examine the intersection of rules,
society, and the organization of parties within
party systems. Blending theory and case studies,
Parties and Party Systems builds upon the work
of R. Kenneth Carty to examine how parties
weather the organizational challenge of appealing
to a dispersed membership while maintaining
a degree of central direction. This volume will
provoke theoretical reconsideration and inspire
research at the organization-system nexus.

Fighting for Votes


Parties, the Media, and Voters in an Ontario Election
William P. Cross, Jonathan Malloy, Tamara A. Small, and Laura B. Stephenson
Elections are not just about who casts ballots they
reflect the citizens, parties, media, and history
of an electorate. Fighting for Votes examines
how these factors interacted during a recent
Ontario election. Drawing on a wealth of sources,
the authors ask three questions: How do parties
position themselves to appeal to voters? How is
information from and about parties transmitted to
voters? How do voters respond to the information
around them? The result is a sophisticated analysis
of how parties influence voters in an era when new
media is reshaping the electoral landscape.

After 08
Social Policy and the Global Financial Crisis
Edited by Stephen McBride, Rianne Mahon, and Gerard W. Boychuk
The 2007-08 financial crisis marked a turning
point for social policy. World leaders were forced
to take a position: Should they entrench neoliberal
policies in response to the crisis? Or implement
alternative measures to challenge economics
as usual? This volume explores the response to
the recession by international organizations
and by nation states in Europe, Asia, Africa,
Latin America, and North America. Contributors
examine whether social policy followed a
similar trajectory across countries and regions,
or whether their diverse national experiences
produced equally diverse solutions.

Unsettled Balance
Ethics, Security, and Canadas International Relations
Edited by Rosalind Warner
Unsettled Balance, the first rigorous analysis of
security and ethics since 9/11, shows that ethical
arguments about rights, obligations, norms, and
values have played a profound role in Canadian
foreign policy and international relations. This
volume explores three key questions. What is the
meaning of ethics and security, and how are
they linked? To what extent have considerations
of ethics and security changed in the twentyfirst century? And what are the implications of
a shifting historical context for international
relations? Suggested seminar questions, a list of
further readings, and a sample course outline add
to the usefulness of this text in a classroom setting.

Patriation and Its Consequences


Constitution Making in Canada
Edited by Lois Harder and Steve Patten
Few moments in Canadian history are as
intriguing as the political battle between Prime
Minister Pierre Trudeau and the Gang of Eight
provincial premiers who opposed his plans to
patriate Canadas constitution from Britain.
Patriation and Its Consequences revisits these
constitutional negotiations, including the
personalities, visions, and political struggles that
shaped the resulting constitutional agreement.
Focusing on the players behind the process,
including First Nations and feminist activists, this
volume explores the long shadow of patriation: the
alienation of Quebec, the character of Canadian
federalism, Aboriginal treaty rights, and the
struggle to ensure gender equality.

Territorial Pluralism
Managing Difference in Multinational States
Edited by Karlo Basta, John McGarry, and Richard Simeon
Territorial pluralism is a form of political autonomy
designed to accommodate national, ethnic, or
linguistic differences within a state. It has the
potential to provide for the peaceful, democratic,
and just management of difference. But given
traditional concerns about state sovereignty and
unity, how realistic is it to expect that a state will
agree to recognize and empower distinct substate
communities? The contributors to this book answer
this question by examining a wide variety of cases,
including in developing and industrialized states
and democratic and authoritarian regimes. They
find that territorial pluralism remains a legitimate
and effective means for managing difference in
multinational states.

Points of Entry
How Canadas Immigration Officers Decide Who Gets in
Vic Satzewich
Every year, over 1.3 million people apply to
visit, work, or settle in Canada and discover that
their future rests in visa officers hands. How
do these officers decide who gets in? Seeking
answers to this question, Vic Satzewich gained
access to eleven overseas visa offices. Points of
Entry reveals immigration officers in action as
they determine credibility and risk. Contrary to
popular opinion, individual bias rarely enters
into their decisions. Instead, a combination
of experience, organizational culture, and
accumulated local knowledge shapes their
decision to either dig deeper into an application
or to issue a visa.

Protest and Politics


The Promise of Social Movement Societies
Edited by Howard Ramos and Kathleen Rodgers
Protest and Politics examines shifts in political
participation and the blurring of social movement
and mainstream politics through the lens of
the social movement society (SMS) thesis. The
contributors analyze social movements in Canada,
in comparison to movements in the US and the
transnational sphere, to see what insights can be
gleaned. They conclude that the SMS thesis must
be recalibrated to embrace broader social and
historical contexts; that it should allow for more
nuanced understandings of politics and states;
and that it must consider the emergence of social
movement societies, plural. In short, this book
challenges its readers to reconsider the boundaries
between politics and protest.

Disability Politics and Care


The Challenge of Direct Funding
Christine Kelly
We do not need care! is a rallying cry for
disability movements. It is informed by a
recognition that a lack of choice over simple
care decisions like what to eat or wear is a
subtle yet pervasive form of violence endured
by many disabled people. Disability Politics
and Care examines an independent living
program to explore what happens when people
with disabilities take control of their own care
arrangements. Christine Kelly documents
responses by a wide range of stakeholders of this
program and reflects on some of its broader social
and political implications.

Critical Suicidology
Transforming Suicide Research and Prevention for the 21st Century
Edited by Jennifer White, Ian Marsh, Michael J. Kral, and Jonathan Morris
In Critical Suicidology, a team of international
scholars, practitioners, and people directly
affected by suicide argue that the field of
suicidology has become too focused on the
biomedical paradigm: a model that pathologizes
distress and obscures the social, political, and
historical contexts that contribute to human
suffering. The authors take a critical look at
existing research, introduce the perspectives
of those who have direct personal knowledge
of suicide and suicidal behaviour, and propose
alternative approaches that are creative and
culturally sensitive. In the right hands, this book
could save lives.

Demarginalizing Voices
Commitment, Emotion, and Action in Qualitative Research
Edited by Jennifer M. Kilty, Maritza Felices-Luna, and Sheryl C. Fabian
Numerous books explore the how to of
qualitative research, but few discuss what it
means to actually engage in it. In Demarginalizing
Voices, scholars share personal stories about
their research with marginalized populations,
including Aboriginal peoples, sex workers, the
dead and the dying, the imprisoned or recently
released, and the homeless and hospitalized.
They address issues of activism, emotional
attachment, and the challenges of adopting
innovative methods within the constraints of
ethics review boards. These powerful accounts
from the cutting-edge of qualitative research
not only create a space in academia that centres
marginalized voices, they open up the field to new
debates and discussion.

Making a Scene
Lesbians and Community across Canada, 1964-84
Liz Millward
Starting in the mid-1960s, Canadian lesbians started leaving their closets
en masse to find each other and build community. After decades of being
pathologized or erased from public view, lesbians were ready to make a
scene both by bringing attention to themselves and by creating physical
spaces and opportunities where they could meet to form relationships,
debate politics, and forge their own culture.
Making a Scene documents the lesbian movement that emerged in Canada
between 1964 and 1984. Not just a story of big-city life, it chronicles the
range of spaces lesbians created across rural and urban Canada, from
physical locations, such as lesbian and gay centres, bookstores, and private
members clubs, to ephemeral sites of encounter, such as conferences,
festivals, and Dykes in the Streets marches.
Enriched by interviews and excerpts from letters, club meeting minutes,
diaries, and more, Making a Scene brings to life the exuberance and
determination of these young women.

Disrupting Queer Inclusion


Canadian Homonationalisms and the Politics of Belonging
Edited by OmiSoore H. Dryden and Suzanne Lenon
Canada likes to present itself as a paragon of
gay rights. This book contends that Canadas
acceptance of gay rights, while being beneficial
to some, obscures and abets multiple forms of
oppression to the detriment and exclusion of
some queer and trans bodies. Disrupting Queer
Inclusion seeks to unsettle the assumption that
inclusion equals justice. Offering a fresh analysis
of the complexity of queer politics and activism,
contributors detail how the fight for acceptance
engenders complicity in a system that fortifies
white supremacy, furthers settler colonialism,
advances neoliberalism, and props up imperialist
mythologies.

Queer Mobilizations
Social Movement Activism and Canadian Public Policy
Edited by Manon Tremblay
Canada is considered a leader when it comes
to LGBTQ rights, yet this is a fairly recent
phenomenon one that is largely due to the
tireless work of disparate groups of LGBTQ
activists. Queer Mobilizations examines the
relationships between LGBTQ activists and local,
provincial, and federal Canadian governments.
The contributors explore how various
governments have tried to regulate and repress
LGBTQ movements, and how, in turn, queer
activists have successfully shaped public policy,
across the political spectrum, from city halls to
Parliament Hill.

Fraught Intimacies
Non/Monogamy in the Public Sphere
Nathan Rambukkana
Adultery scandals involving politicians. Dating
websites for married women and men. News
reports on raids of polygamous communities.
It seems that non-monogamy is everywhere:
in popular culture, in the news, and before
the courts. In Fraught Intimacies, Nathan
Rambukkana delves into how polygamy, adultery,
and polyamory are represented in the public
sphere. His intricate analysis reveals how some
forms of non-monogamy are tacitly accepted,
even glamourized, while others are vilified and
reviled. By questioning what this says about
intimacy, power, and privilege, this book offers
an innovative framework for understanding the
status of non-monogamy in Western society.

Religion and Sexuality


Diversity and the Limits of Tolerance
Edited by Pamela Dickey Young, Heather Shipley, and Tracy J. Trothen
The relationship between religion and sexuality
is often framed as inherently conflictual.
But what actually happens when religion and
sexuality converge in contemporary contexts?
This provocative volume goes beyond the familiar
debates over toleration and accommodation
to explore the ways in which various forms of
religious affiliation and sexual identity do, in fact,
co-exist. Drawing on interviews and analyzing
media representations, legislation, and public
discourse on topics such as education, economics,
and same-sex marriage in North America and
the United Kingdom, this book foregrounds the
complexity and multiplicity of religious and
sexual identities and practices.

From Slave Girls to Salvation


Gender, Race, and Victorias Chinese Rescue Home, 1886-1923
Shelly D. Ikebuchi
For decades, the Chinese Rescue Home was a
fixture of the landscape of Victoria, British
Columbia. Originally a refuge for Chinese
prostitutes and slave girls rescued from captivity,
it became a residence and school where the
Methodist Womens Missionary Society attempted
to reform Chinese and Japanese girls and women.
They did this, in part, by teaching them domestic
skills meant to ease their integration into Western
society. This book offers the first in-depth history
and analysis of this iconic institution from 1886
to 1923 and expands our understanding of the
complex interplay between gender, race, and class
in BC during this time.

Working Mothers and the Child Care Dilemma


A History of British Columbias Social Policy
Lisa Pasolli
During the twentieth century, child care policy
in British Columbia matured in the shadow of
a persistent political uneasiness with working
motherhood. Charting the growth of the child
care movement in this province, Working Mothers
and the Child Care Dilemma examines how ideas
about motherhood, paid work, and social welfare
have influenced universal child care discussions
and consistently pushed access to child care to the
margins of BCs social policy agenda. Lisa Pasolli
also celebrates those who have lobbied for child
care as part of womens rights as workers, parents,
and citizens.

Putting the State on Trial


The Policing of Protest during the G20 Summit
Edited by Margaret E. Beare, Nathalie Des Rosiers, and Abigail C. Deshman
When the G20 Summit was held in Toronto in
2010, people were shocked to see Canadian police
officers acting in ways that appeared foreign and
frightening. The riot gear, surveillance, mass
arrests, and physical abuse of citizens were all
indicative of an out-of-control policing operation.
The conflict sparked widespread outrage and
calls for a public inquiry, but to no avail. Putting
the State on Trial: The Policing of Protest during
the G20 Summit provides a much-needed critical
analysis of this event. This book shines a sharp
light on policing, accountability, and an evolving
legal relationship between the state and its
citizenry.

Who Is Bob_34?
Investigating Child Cyberpornography
Francis Fortin and Patrice Corriveau
Who Is Bob_34? sheds light on the clandestine
world of online child pornography and pedophilia.
What exactly do we know about these crimes?
Who produces child cyberpornography? Who
distributes it? Who consumes it? And how do
they meet? Can we use profiling to identify
pedophiles online? By surveying the scholarship
on the topic and obtaining original empirical
data through their infiltration of child-porn user
groups, Francis Fortin and Patrice Corriveau
address these questions, opening a window on a
contemporary phenomenon that is much more
complex than media accounts and commissioned

The Stability Imperative


Human Rights and Law in China
Sarah Biddulph
Growing inequality within Chinese society has
led to public indignation, petitions to Party and
state agencies, strikes, and large-scale protests.
This book examines the intersection between
the Chinese governments preoccupation with
the protection of social stability (weiwen),
and its legal commitments to protect human
rights. Drawing on case studies, Sarah Biddulph
examines Chinas response to labour unrest,
medical disputes, and public anger over forced
housing demolition. The result is a detailed
analysis of the multiple and shifting ways
stability imperatives impinge on the legal
definition and implementation of human rights
in China.

Hearts and Mines


The US Empires Culture Industry
Tanner Mirrlees
From Katy Perry training alongside US Marines in a music video, to the global
box-office mastery of the US military-supported Transformers franchise, to
the explosion of war games such as Call of Duty, its clear that the US security
state is a dominant force in media culture. But is the ubiquity of cultural
products that glorify the security state a new phenomenon? Or have Uncle
Sam and Hollywood been friends for a long time?
Hearts and Mines examines the rise and reach of the US Empires culture
industry a nexus between the USs security state and media firms and the
source of cultural products that promote American strategic interests around
the world. Building on and extending Herbert I. Schillers classic study of
US Empire and communications, Tanner Mirrlees highlights the symbiotic
geopolitical and economic relationships between the US state and media firms
that underlie and drive the production and promotion of imperial culture.

Disarming Intervention
A Critical History of Non-Lethality
Seantel Anas
Non-lethal weapons take many forms, from rubber
bullets to electro-shock and long-range acoustic
devices, which their proponents have argued are
ethical, legal, and humane. But activists have long
raised questions about whether these weapons
are, in fact, non-lethal and questioned their use
both in the policing of domestic disturbances
and the conduct of international hostilities. Until
now, however, scholars have paid little attention
to how the actual concept of non-lethality
has achieved social and political acceptance. In
Disarming Intervention, Seantel Anas unpacks
these issues, tracing the social, historical, and legal
legitimization of non-lethality in the United States.

SEANTEL ANAS is an assistant professor in the


Department of Sociology at the University of
Winnipeg.

Lock, Stock, and Icebergs


A History of Canadas Arctic Maritime Sovereignty
Adam Lajeunesse
In April 1988, after years of failed negotiations
over the status of the Northwest Passage, Brian
Mulroney gave Ronald Reagan a globe, pointed to
the Arctic, and said Ron, thats ours. We own it
lock, stock, and icebergs. A simple statement, it
summed up Ottawas official policy: that Canada
owns the icy waters that wind their way through
the Arctic Archipelago. Behind the scenes,
however, successive governments have spent over
a century trying to figure out how to enforce this
claim. Drawing on recently declassified material,
Lajeunesse guides readers through the evolution
of Canadas Arctic sovereignty and explains why
it matters.

Maritime Command Pacific


The Royal Canadian Navys West Coast Fleet in the Early Cold War
David Zimmerman
The Royal Canadian Navy crews that sailed the
Atlantic during the early Cold War held a rather
contemptuous view of their West Coast brethren,
likening the Pacific fleet to a Yacht Club where
sailors enjoyed a life of leisurely service on a
tranquil sea. As David Zimmerman reveals,
nothing could be further from the truth. From
the fleets postwar downsizing through to its
rapid expansion in the wake of the Korean War
when Cold War fears gripped the nation, Maritime
Command Pacific fought to hold steady amid
drifting Japanese mines, Soviet submarines, and
joint US-Canadian training exercises.

Unwanted Warriors
The Rejected Volunteers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force
Nic Clarke
Unwanted Warriors uncovers the history of
Canadas first casualties of the Great War men
who tried to enlist but were deemed unfit for
service. What impact did military exclusion
have on these men? Nic Clarke looks for answers
in the service files of 3,400 rejected volunteers
and explores the mechanics of the medical
examination, the physical and psychological
qualities that the authorities believed made a
fighting man, and how evaluations changed as
the war dragged on. In the process, he exposes the
deleterious effects that socially constructed norms
about health and fitness had on individual men
and Canadian society during the First World War.

Conflicting Visions
Canada and India in the Cold War World, 1946-76
Ryan M. Touhey
In 1974 India shocked the world by detonating
a nuclear device. In the diplomatic controversy
that ensued, the Canadian government expressed
outrage that India had extracted plutonium from
a Canadian reactor donated only for peaceful
purposes. In the aftermath, relations between the
two nations cooled considerably. As Conflicting
Visions reveals, Canada and Indias relationship
was turbulent long before the first bomb blast.
Canadas expectations of how the former British
colony would behave following its independence
in 1947 led to a series of misperceptions and
miscommunications that strained bilateral
relations for decades.

So They Want Us to Learn French


Promoting and Opposing Bilingualism in English-Speaking Canada
Matthew Hayday
Bilingualism has become a defining aspect of
the Canadian identity. But why do so few English
Canadians actually speak French? So They Want Us
to Learn French explores the various ways in which
bilingualism was promoted to English-speaking
Canadians from the 1960s to the late 1990s. It
analyzes the strategies and tactics employed by
organizations on both sides of the bilingualism
debate. Attentive to the dramatic background
of constitutional changes, economic turmoil,
demographic shifts, and Quebec separatism,
Matthew Haydays vivid account places the
personal experience of Canadians faced with the
issue and reality of Canadian bilingualism within a
historical, political, and social context.

When Good Drugs Go Bad


Opium, Medicine, and the Origins of Canadas Drug Laws
Dan Malleck
In the 1800s, opium and cocaine could be easily
obtained to treat a range of ailments. Drug
dependency, when it occurred, was considered
a matter of personal vice. Near the end of the
century, attitudes shifted and access to drugs
became more restricted. In this history, Dan
Malleck reveals how different forces converged
in the early 1900s to influence lawmakers and
set the course for the drug laws that exist today.
As this book shows, social concerns about drug
addiction had less to do with the long pipe and
shadowy den than with lobbying by medical
professionals, concern about the morality
and future of the nation, and a burgeoning
pharmaceutical industry.

Beyond Testimony and Trauma


Oral History in the Aftermath of Mass Violence
Edited by Steven High
Survivors of terrible events are often portrayed
as unsung heroes or tragic victims but rarely as
complex human beings whose lives extend beyond
the stories they have told. The contributors to
Beyond Testimony and Trauma consider other
ways to engage with survivors and their accounts
based on valuable insights gained from their
work on long-term oral history projects. While
the contexts vary widely, they demonstrate that
through deep listening, long-term relationship
building, and collaborative research design, it is
possible to move beyond the problematic aspects
of testimony to shine a light on the more
nuanced lives of survivors of mass violence.

The Business of Culture


Cultural Entrepreneurs in China and Southeast Asia, 1900-65
Edited by Christopher Rea and Nicolai Volland
The Business of Culture examines the rise of
Chinese cultural entrepreneurs, businesspeople
who risked financial well-being and reputation
by investing in multiple cultural enterprises
in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Rich in biographical detail, the interlinked case
studies featured in this volume introduce three
distinct archetypes: the cultural personality,
the tycoon, and the collective enterprise. These
portraits reveal how rapidly evolving technologies
and growing transregional ties created fertile
conditions for business success in the cultural
sphere. They also highlight strategies used by
cultural entrepreneurs around the world today.

The Pragmatic Dragon


Chinas Grand Strategy and Boundary Settlements
Eric Hyer
China shares borders and asserts vast maritime
claims with over a dozen countries, and it has had
boundary disputes with nearly all of them. Yet in
the 1960s, when tensions were escalating with
the Soviet Union, India, and the United States,
China moved to conclude boundary agreements
with these neighbours peacefully. In this wideranging study of Chinas boundary disputes and
settlements, Eric Hyer finds Chinas behaviour was
strategic and even demonstrated willingness to
compromise. This behaviour in earlier periods is
pertinent to the ongoing territorial disputes in the
East and South China Seas. The Pragmatic Dragon
analyzes these disputes and the strategic rationale
behind Chinas behaviour, providing important
insights into the foreign policy of a nation whose
presence on the world stage continues to grow.

How to Succeed at University (and Get a Great Job!)


Mastering the Critical Skills You Need for School, Work, and Life

STUDENT GUIDES

Thomas R. Klassen and John A. Dwyer


A practical, easy-to-read, real-life guide for success at university and beyond.

Going to university is an exciting time of life that involves many things:


learning, meeting new people, making decisions, building relationships,
and gaining greater independence. But for many students, getting a
university education is a source of undue stress. What courses should I
take? What program should I get in to? Will I get a job after graduation?
Its easy to become discouraged, especially when you dont see what
relationship studying Plato, Shakespeare, or Sartre has to the real world.
How to Succeed at University (and Get a Great Job!) shows that the
best preparation for success at life and on the job is succeeding at
university. Oral presentations, teamwork, meeting deadlines, overcoming
challenges, locating information, explaining events, writing well, and
dealing with people in authority are essential in any professional job.
These same skills are also vital for becoming a strong student. This book
gives you advice and strategies, along with real-life examples, on how to
improve the skills that guarantee success at school, work, and in life. More
than that, by mastering these easy-to-learn skills, you will also have time
to enjoy all the other benefits that a university education provides.
This practical guide is meant for university, college, and high-school
students, as well as instructors, guidance counsellors, and parents. By
answering many of the questions that students and recent graduates
have about succeeding in their courses and in their post-school careers,
this book shows that the path from university to the real world can be
straightforward and exciting if you know what you are doing.

UBC Press is delighted to launch its On Campus imprint, featuring books, essays, and
other materials designed to help students successfully tackle the intellectual and
social challenges encountered at university or college today. On Campus will include
a range of interesting, sometimes unconventional, but always useful information
and advice for students to download for free or to purchase in print. In the past, such
materials were only available informally, posted online by a professor for a class or
photocopied and handed out manually year after year. The purpose of the On Campus
imprint is to encourage wider availability of these underground sources of wisdom
and to provide a hub where students can expect to find pertinent and accessible
information on all kinds of topics related to university or college life. On Campus
materials, while not peer reviewed in the formal sense, do undergo a thorough
assessment to ensure their suitability and value for their target audience.
