the right to a healthy Environment Revitalizing Canada's Constitution


David r. boyd
Canada has abundant natural wealth, beautiful landscapes, vast forests, and thousands of rivers and lakes. The land defi nes Canadians as a people, yet the country has one of the industrialized worlds worst environmental records. Building on his previous book, The Environmental Rights Revolution (2012), David R. Boyd describes how recognizing the constitutional right to a healthy environment could have a transformative impact by empowering citizens, holding governments and industry accountable, and improving Canadas green record. This important and provocative book provides a road map to protect human health, the well-being of the planet, and the interests of future generations. DAVID R. BOYD is an environmental lawyer and adjunct professor at Simon Fraser University. His previous books include The Environmental Rights Revolution and Unnatural Law: Rethinking Canadian Environmental Law and Policy.

the Environmental rights revolution A Global Study of Constitutions, Human Rights, and the Environment
David r. boyd
The right to a healthy environment has been the subject of extensive philosophical debates that revolve around the question: Should rights to clean air, water, and soil be entrenched in law? David Boyd answers this by moving beyond theoretical debates to measure the practical effects of enshrining the right in constitutions. His pioneering analysis of 193 constitutions and the laws and court decisions of more than 100 nations in Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa reveals a positive correlation between constitutional protection and stronger environmental laws, smaller ecological footprints, superior environmental performance, and improved quality of life. DAVID R. BOYD is an environmental lawyer and adjunct professor at Simon Fraser University.

human rights The Commons and the Collective


Laura westra
International law evolved to protect human rights. But what are human rights? Does the term have the same meaning in a world being transformed by climate change and globalized trade? Are existing laws sufficient to ensure humanitys survival? Westra argues that international law privileges individual over collective rights, permitting multinational corporations to overlook the collective and the environment in their quest for wealth. Unless policy makers redefi ne human rights and reformulate environmental law to protect the preconditions for life itself water, food, clean air, and biodiversity humankind faces the complete loss of the ecological commons, one of our most basic human rights. LAURA WESTRA holds doctorates in both philosophy and jurisprudence and has taught in the fields of philosophy, ethics, and environmental law at several US, Canadian, and Italian universities.

Still Dying for a Living Corporate Criminal Liability after the Westray Mine Disaster
Steven bittle
In 1992, a preventable explosion at the Westray Mine in Plymouth, Nova Scotia, killed twenty-six miners. More than a decade later, the government enacted Bill C-45, commonly known as the Westray bill, to hold organizations criminally liable for seriously injuring and killing workers and the public. In Still Dying for a Living, Steven Bittle turns a critical eye on the Westray bill, revealing how legal, economic, and cultural discourses surrounding the bill downplayed the seriousness of workplace injury and death, effectively characterizing these crimes as regrettable but largely unavoidable accidents and in the process obscuring their underlying causes. STEVEN BITTLE is an assistant professor in the Department of Criminology at the University of Ottawa.

hunger, horses, and government Men Criminal Law on the Aboriginal Plains, 1870-1905
Shelley A.M. gavigan
Scholars often accept without question that the Indian Act (1876) criminalized First Nations. Drawing on court fi les, police and penitentiary records, and newspaper accounts from the Saskatchewan region of the North-West Territories between 1870 and 1905, Shelley Gavigan argues that the notion of criminalization captures neither the complexities of Aboriginal participation in the criminal courts nor the significance of the Indian Act as a form of law. This illuminating book paints a vivid portrait of Aboriginal defendants, witnesses, and informants whose encounters with the criminal law and the Indian Act included both the mediation and the enforcement of relations of inequality. SHELLEY A.M. GAVIGAN is a professor of law at Osgoode Hall Law School and a member of the graduate faculties in law, socio-legal studies, and womens studies at York University.

Aboriginal Justice and the Charter Realizing a Culturally Sensitive Interpretation of Legal Rights
David Milward
Aboriginal Justice and the Charter explores the tension between Aboriginal justice methods and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, seeking practical ways to implement Aboriginal justice. David Milward examines nine legal rights guaranteed by the Charter and undertakes a thorough search for interpretations sensitive to Aboriginal culture. Much of the previous literature in this area has dealt with constricted and idealized notions of what Aboriginal justice might be. This book strikes out into new territory, grappling with the difficult questions of how Aboriginal justice systems can be fair to their constituents while also complying with the protections guaranteed by the Charter. DAVID MILWARD is an assistant professor of law at the University of Manitoba.

Conict in Caledonia Aboriginal Land Rights and the Rule of Law


Laura DeVries
In February 2006, First Nations protesters blocked workers from entering a housing development in southern Ontario. The protest highlighted the issue of land rights and sparked a series of ongoing events known as the Caledonia Crisis. This powerful account of the dispute links the actions of police, officials, and locals to non-Aboriginal discourses about law, landscape, and identity. DeVries encourages non-Aboriginal Canadians to reconsider their assumptions, to view facts such as the rule of law as culturally specific notions that prevent truly equitable dialogue. She seeks out possible solutions in alternative conceptualizations of sovereignty over land and law embedded in the Constitution. LAURA DeVRIES is currently studying law at the University of British Columbia.

ghost Dancing with Colonialism Decolonization and Indigenous Rights at the Supreme Court of Canada
grace Li xiu woo
Some assume that Canada earned a place among postcolonial states in 1982 when it took charge of its Constitution. Yet despite the formal recognition accorded to Aboriginal and treaty rights at that time, Indigenous peoples continue to argue that they are still being colonized. Grace Woo assesses this allegation using a binary model that distinguishes colonial from postcolonial legality. She argues that two legal paradigms governed the expansion of the British Empire, one based on popular consent, the other on conquest and the power to command. Ghost Dancing with Colonialism casts explanatory light on ongoing tensions between Canada and Indigenous peoples. GRACE LI XIU WOO is a retired member of the Law Society of British Columbia. She has taught in the Program of Legal Studies for Native People at the University of Saskatchewan.

reasonable Accommodation Managing Religious Diversity


Edited by Lori g. beaman
Often when a religious minority challenges mainstream customs, the phrase reasonable accommodation is at the centre of the ensuing debate. But does reasonable accommodation achieve its goal of integrating the rights of religious minorities with those of mainstream society or does it really emphasize inequality? Reasonable Accommodation seeks to defi ne the meaning of this phrase and to provide a much needed critical assessment of its use within Canada and abroad. Woven throughout is commentary about whether there really is a religious majority in Canada, how the idea of shared values obscures debate, and how simply tolerating religious differences isnt enough to guarantee equality. LORI G. BEAMAN is Canada Research Chair in the Contextualization of Religion in a Diverse Canada, director of The Religion and Diversity Project, and professor in the Department of Classics and Religious Studies at the University of Ottawa.

international trade Law and Domestic policy Canada, the United States, and the WTO
Jacqueline D. Krikorian
Critics of the World Trade Organization argue that its binding dispute settlement process imposes a neoliberal agenda on member states. If this is the case, why would any nation agree to participate? Jacqueline Krikorian explores this question by examining the impact of the WTOs dispute settlement mechanism on domestic policies in the United States and Canada. She demonstrates that the WTOs ability to inuence domestic arrangements has been constrained by three factors: judicial deference, institutional arrangements, and strategic decision making by political elites in Ottawa and Washington.

Modern warfare Armed Groups, Private Militaries, Humanitarian Organizations, and the Law
Edited by benjamin perrin
The face of modern warfare is changing as more and more humanitarian organizations, private military companies, and non-state armed groups enter complex security environments such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and Haiti. Although this shift has been overshadowed by legal issues connected to the War on Terror and intervention in countries such as Rwanda and Sudan, it has caused some to question the relevance of the laws of war. Modern Warfare explores the laws failure and potential to ensure compliance in the context of a changing military landscape; by doing so, it opens a path to preventing further unnecessary suffering and violence.

City of Order Crime and Society in Halifax, 1918-35


Michael boudreau
Interwar Halifax was a city in ux, a place where citizens debated adopting new ideas and technologies but agreed on one thing: modernity was corrupting public morality and unleashing untold social problems on their fair city. To create a bulwark against further social dislocation, citizens, policy makers, and officials modernized the citys machinery of order courts, prisons, and the police force and placed greater emphasis on crime control. These tough-on-crime measures, Boudreau argues, did not resolve problems but rather singled out ethnic minorities, workingclass men, and female and juvenile offenders as problem figures in the eternal quest for order.

being relational Reflections on Relational Theory and Health Law


Edited by Jocelyn Downie and Jennifer J. Llewellyn
In relational theory, the self is seen as fundamentally constituted in terms of its relations to others: it not only lives in relationship with and to others, but also owes its very existence to such relationships. Being Relational explores core moral and metaphysical concepts through a relational-theory lens, and analyzes how such considerations might apply to more practical areas of concern in health law and policy. Innovative and self-reexive, this groundbreaking collection will appeal to a broad range of thinkers, especially those who seek to understand the complex ways in which power is created and sustained relationally. JOCELYN DOWNIE is a professor of law and medicine and a Canada Research Chair in Health Law and Policy at Dalhousie University. She is a member of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences and the Royal Society of Canada. JENNIFER J.

troubling Sex Towards a Legal Theory of Sexual Integrity


Elaine Craig
When legal scholars or judges approach the subject of sexuality, they are often constrained by existing theoretical frameworks. Queer theorists typically focus on sexual liberty but tend not to consider issues such as sexual violence; feminist theories focus on violence but often ignore the joy of sexuality. Craig examines the Supreme Court of Canadas approach to sexuality to assess the possibility of devising a legal theory of sexuality that can embrace both the good and the bad, ensuring equality without assimilation, diversity without exclusion, and liberty without suffering. Blending feminist theory with queer theory, she advances an iconoclastic approach to law and sexuality that has the power to transform both theory and practice. ELAINE CRAIG is an assistant professor in the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University.

Standing Up with Gaaxstalas tells the remarkable story of Jane Constance Cook (1870-1951), a controversial Kwakwakawakw leader and activist who lived during a period of enormous colonial upheaval. Working collaboratively, Robertson and Cooks descendants draw on oral histories and textual records to create a nuanced portrait of a high-ranked woman, cultural mediator, devout Christian, and aboriginal rights activist who criticized potlatch practices for surprising reasons. This powerful meditation on memory and cultural renewal documents how the Kwagu Gixsam have revived their longdormant clan in the hopes of forging a positive cultural identity for future generations through feasting and potlatching.

where happiness Dwells A History of the Dane-zaa First Nations


robin ridington and Jillian ridington in collaboration with Elders of the Dane-zaa First Nations
The Dane-zaa people have lived in British Columbia's Peace River area for thousands of years. Elders documented their peoples history and worldview, passing them on through storytelling. Language loss, however, threatens to break the bonds of knowledge transmission. At the request of the Doig River First Nation, anthropologists Robin and Jillian Ridington present a history of the Dane-zaa people based on oral histories collected over a half century of fieldwork. These powerful stories not only preserve traditional knowledge for future generations, they also tell the inspiring story of how the Dane-zaa learned to succeed and ourish in the modern world. ROBIN RIDINGTON is professor emeritus of anthropology at the University of British Columbia and has worked with the Dane-zaa First Nations since the 1960s. JILLIAN RIDINGTON is an ethnographer and researcher who has worked with the Dane-zaa First Nations since 1978.

An Ethic of Mutual respect The Covenant Chain and Aboriginal-Crown Relations


bruce Morito
Over the course of a century, until the late 1700s, the British Crown, the Iroquois, and other Aboriginal groups of eastern North America developed an alliance and treaty system known as the Covenant Chain. Bruce Morito offers a philosophical re-reading of the historical record of negotiations, showing that the parties developed an ethic of mutually recognized respect. This ethic, Morito argues, remains relevant to current debates over Aboriginal and treaty rights, because it is neither culturally nor historically bound. Real change is possible, if efforts can be shifted from piecemeal legal and political disputes to the development of an intercultural ethic based on trust, respect, and solidarity. BRUCE MORITO is an associate professor of philosophy in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Athabasca University.

Fractured homeland Federal Recognition and Algonquin Identity in Ontario


bonita Lawrence
In 1992, the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan, the only federally recognized Algonquin reserve in Ontario, launched a comprehensive land claim. The action not only drew attention to the fact that Canada had acquired Algonquin land without negotiating a treaty, but it also focused attention on the two-thirds of Algonquins who fell outside the claim because they had never been recognized as Indian. Fractured Homeland is Bonita Lawrences stirring account of how the claim forced federally unrecognized Algonquin in Ontario to confront both the issue of their own identity and the failure of Algonquin leaders who launched the claim to develop a more inclusive vision of nationhood. BONITA LAWRENCE (Mikmaw) teaches Indigenous studies at York University in Toronto. She is the author of "Real" Indians and Others: Mixed-Blood Urban Native Peoples and Indigenous Nationhood.

prophetic identities Indigenous Missionaries on British Colonial Frontiers, 1850-75


tolly bradford
The presence of indigenous people among the ranks of British missionaries in the nineteenth century complicates narratives of all-powerful missionaries and hapless indigenous victims. What compelled these men to embrace Christianity? How did they reconcile being both Christian and indigenous in an age of empire? Tolly Bradford fi nds answers to these questions in the lives of Henry Budd, a Cree missionary from western Canada, and Tiyo Soga, a Xhosa missionary from southern Africa. He portrays these men not as victims of colonialism but rather as individuals who drew on faith, family, and their ties to Britain to construct a new sense of indigeneity in a globalizing world. TOLLY BRADFORD is an assistant professor of history at Concordia University College of Alberta in Edmonton.

people of the Middle Fraser Canyon An Archaeological History


Anna Marie prentiss and ian Kuijt
The Middle Fraser Canyon contains some of the most important archaeological sites in British Columbia, including the remains of ancient villages that supported hundreds, if not thousands, of people. How and why did these villages come into being? Why were they abandoned? In search of answers to these questions, Prentiss and Kuijt take readers on a voyage of discovery into the ancient history of the Sttimc, or Upper Lillooet, a people whose struggles and successes are brought to vivid life through photographs, artistic and fictionalized reconstructions of life in the villages, and discussions of evidence from archaeological surveys and excavations.

principles of tsawalk An Indigenous Approach to Global Crisis


Umeek / E. richard Atleo
Tsawalk, or one, expresses the Nuu-chah-nulth view that all living things human, plant, and animal form part of an integrated whole brought into harmony through constant negotiation and mutual respect. In this book, Umeek argues that contemporary environmental and political crises and the ongoing plight of indigenous peoples reect a world out of balance, a world in which Western approaches for sustainable living are not working. Nuu-chah-nulth principles of recognition, consent, and continuity, by contrast, hold the promise of bringing greater harmony, where all life forms are treated with respect and accorded formal constitutional recognition. UMEEK (E. RICHARD ATLEO), a hereditary Nuu-chah-nulth chief, is a research liaison at the University of Manitoba and an associate adjunct professor at the University of Victoria.

An Environmental history of Canada


Laurel Sefton MacDowell
Throughout history most people have associated northern North America with wilderness with abundant fish and game, snow-capped mountains, and endless forest and prairie. Canadas contemporary picture gallery, however, contains more disturbing images deforested mountains, empty fisheries, and melting ice caps. Adopting both a chronological and thematic approach, Laurel MacDowell examines human interactions with the land, and the origins of our current environmental crisis, from fi rst peoples to the Kyoto Protocol. This richly illustrated exploration of the past from an environmental perspective will change the way Canadians and others around the world think about and look at Canada.

rethinking the great white North Race, Nature, and the Historical Geographies of Whiteness in Canada
Edited by Andrew baldwin, Laura Cameron, and Audrey Kobayashi
Canadian national identity is bound to the idea of a Great White North. Images of snow, wilderness, and emptiness seem innocent, yet this path-breaking book reveals they contain the seeds of racism. Informed by the insight that racism is geographical as well as historical and cultural, the contributors trace how notions of race, whiteness, and nature helped construct a white country, in travel writing and treaty making, scientific research and park planning, and in towns, cities, and tourist centres. Rethinking the Great White North offers a new vocabulary for contemporary debates on Canadas role in the North and the meaning of the nation.

temagami's tangled wild Race, Gender, and the Making of Canadian Nature
Jocelyn thorpe
Canadian wilderness seems a self-evident entity, yet, as this volume shows in vivid historical detail, wilderness is not what it seems. In Temagamis Tangled Wild, Jocelyn Thorpe traces how struggles over meaning, racialized and gendered identities, and land have made the Temagami area in Ontario into a site emblematic of wild Canadian nature, even though the Teme-Augama Anishnabai have long understood the region as their homeland rather than as a wilderness. Eloquent and accessible, this engaging history challenges readers to acknowledge the embeddedness of colonial relations in our notions of wilderness, and to reconsider our understanding of the wilderness ideal.

policies for Sustainably Managing Canadas Forests Tenure, Stumpage Fees, and Forest Practices
Martin K. Luckert, David haley, and george hoberg
Three quarters of Canadas forests are under provincial control, so provincial forest policies are crucial to long-term sustainability. By offering an up-to-date comparative scrutiny of forest policies, this book provides forest managers, policy-makers, scholars, and students with the information and concepts to critically examine Canadas complex forest tenure systems. Looking at tenure, stumpage fees, and other forest practices, the authors assess how well different provincial schemes achieve the goals of sustainable forest management. They identify essential policy attributes that could be used to guide tenure reform, consider barriers that could prevent meaningful change, and offer muchneeded practical guidance on overcoming these obstacles.

Oshore Petroleum Politics Regulation and Risk in the Scotian Basin


peter Clancy
The extraction of oil and gas from offshore continental shelves represents one of the most dynamic sectors of global petroleum development. It is also one of the most complex. Atlantic Canada is no exception and the history of Scotian Basin petroleum over the past half century reveals a fascinating series of political challenges, accommodations, and settlements. Peter Clancys comprehensive analysis of petroleum politics in Nova Scotia demonstrates the complex intergovernmental and intercorporate relationships, ecological concerns, and Aboriginal interests that have complicated offshore development. His incisive analysis of the complex politics at play provides new insights into the unique challenges facing the petroleum industry in Atlantic Canada. PETER CLANCY is a professor of political science at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.

health and Sustainability in the Canadian Food System Advocacy and Opportunity for Civil Society
Edited by rod Macrae and Elisabeth Abergel
Civil society organizations are among the most vociferous critics of the modern food system. Yet even after decades of campaigns, governments have largely failed to address health and sustainability issues in an effective way. This volume showcases the research of experts from multiple disciplines who argue that solutions lie not just in lobbying elected officials but in initiatives at the subparliamentary level. Real change will come, they argue, when advocacy groups develop strategies sophisticated enough to counter the forces aligned against them: a powerful business lobby, lack of political will, and a dearth of government mechanisms to deal with issues that cut across departmental mandates. ROD MACRAE is an associate professor of food policy in the Faculty of Environmental Studies at York University.

the Nature of borders Salmon, Boundaries, and Bandits on the Salish Sea
Lissa K. wadewitz
For centuries, borders have been central to salmon management customs on the Salish Sea, but how those borders were drawn has had very different effects on the Northwest salmon fishery. Native peoples who fished the Salish Sea drew social and cultural borders around salmon fishing locations and found ways to administer the resource in a sustainable way. Nineteenthcentury European settlers took a different approach and drew the Anglo-American border along the forty-ninth parallel, ignoring the salmons patterns and life cycle. As the canned salmon industry grew and more people moved into the region, class and ethnic relations changed. The Nature of Borders is about the ecological effects creating cultural and political borders has had on this critical West Coast salmon fishery. LISSA K. WADEWITZ is assistant professor of history and environmental studies at Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon.

Making Meaning Out of Mountains The Political Ecology of Skiing


Mark C.J. Stoddart
Mountains bear the imprint of human activity. Scars from logging and surface mining sit alongside national parks and ski lodges. Although the environmental effects of extractive industries are well known, skiing is more likely to bring to mind images of luxury, wealth, and health. Drawing on interviews, field observations, and media analysis, Stoddart reveals the multiple, often conicting meanings attached to skiing by skiers, mass media, First Nations, industry leaders, and environmentalists in British Columbia. Stoddart challenges us to reect on skiings negative effects as he exposes how certain groups came to be viewed as the natural inhabitants and legitimate managers of mountain environments. MARK C.J.

Edited by patti tamara Lenard and richard Simeon
Canada and the United States are consistently ranked among the most democratic countries in the world, yet voices expressing concern about the quality of these democracies are becoming louder and more insistent. Critics maintain that the two countries suffer from a democratic deficit, a deficit that raises profound questions about the legitimacy and effectiveness of their democratic institutions. Imperfect Democracies brings together Canadian and American scholars to compare how the democratic deficit plays out in the two nations. An important contribution to the field of democratic theory and the study of democratic institutions, this timely book will spark debate on both sides of the border.

thierry de Montbrial
This book occupies the same niche as Raymond Arons 1962 classic, Peace and War: A Theory of International Relations. While Aron wrote during the Cold War, Thierry de Montbrial writes about the post-Soviet international system, a system that is multipolar, ideologically heterogeneous, and thus highly unstable. In this book, he lays the foundation for a praxeology, or a science of action to facilitate a better understanding of the dynamics of international problems and a more systematic approach to policy making. A major contribution to international relations theory, this book, which was awarded the 2002 Georges Pompidou Prize, offers the necessary keys to decrypt the international system in the twentyfi rst century and has been published in seven languages. THIERRY DE MONTBRIAL is the president and founder of the French Institute of International Relations (IFRI) and of the World Policy Conference.

Canadian Liberalism and the politics of border Control, 1867-1967


Christopher g. Anderson
With restrictive immigration policies, increased interdiction, and the detention of asylum seekers, it is clear that Canadas approach to border control has shifted in recent years. Yet such practices are just the latest in a long and complex national history. Canadian Liberalism and the Politics of Border Control sheds light on the fi rst century of Canadas efforts to control its borders, framing pivotal moments within a long-standing but often overlooked debate over the rights of non-citizens. Anderson provides valuable insights into contemporary liberal-democratic control by demonstrating that todays more restrictive approach reects traditions deeply embedded within liberal democracies.

becoming Multicultural Immigration and the Politics of Membership in Canada and Germany
Triadalos Triadalopoulos
During the fi rst half of the twentieth century, Canadas and Germanys responses to questions of national membership consisted of discriminatory policies aimed at harnessing migration for economic ends. Yet, by the end of the century, both countries were transformed into highly diverse multicultural societies. How did this remarkable shift come about? Triadafi lopoulos argues that, after the war, global human rights norms intersected with domestic political identities and institutions, opening the way for the liberalization of Canadas and Germanys immigration and citizenship policies. His is a thought-provoking analysis that sheds light on the dynamics of membership politics and policy making in contemporary liberal-democratic countries.

political Marketing in Canada


Edited by Alex Marland, thierry giasson, and Jennifer Lees-Marshment
Political parties worldwide are using marketing tools such as targeting and segmentation to win elections. Are these strategies making politicians and governments more responsive to voters needs, or do they pose a threat to democracy? Through case studies that range from the resurrection of the Conservative Party to Tim Hortons as a political brand, this volume shows that the consequences of political marketing in Canada have been profound. Citizens are now viewed as consumers, and platforms and promises have been repackaged as products. Whether this trend is positive or negative depends on how politicians and governments carry out political marketing and its promises in practice.

rooted Cosmopolitanism Canada and the World


Edited by will Kymlicka and Kathryn walker
Canadians take pride in being good citizens of the world, yet our failure to meet global commitments raises questions. Do Canadians need to transcend national loyalties to become full global citizens? Is the idea of rooted cosmopolitanism simply a myth that encourages complacency about Canadas place in the world? This volume assesses rooted cosmopolitanism both in theory and practice. By exploring how Canadians are accommodating the world in areas such as multiculturalism, climate change, and humanitarian intervention, the contributors test the possibility of reconciling national allegiances with commitments to human rights, global justice, and international law.

In an age of multiculturalism and identity politics, many minority groups seek some form of official recognition or public accommodation of their identity. But can public institutions accurately recognize or accommodate something as subjective and dynamic as identity? Avigail Eisenberg and Will Kymlicka lead a distinguished team of scholars who explore state responses to identity claims worldwide. Their case studies focus on key issues where identity is central to public policy. By illuminating both the risks and opportunities of institutional responses to diversity, this volume shows that public institutions can either enhance or distort the benefits of identity politics. AVIGAIL EISENBERG is a professor of political science at the University of Victoria. WILL KYMLICKA is the Canada Research Chair in Political Philosophy at Queens University.

the perils of identity Group Rights and the Politics of Intragroup Difference
Caroline Dick
Many liberal theorists consider group identity claims a necessary condition of equality in Canada, but do these claims do more harm than good? To answer this question, Caroline Dick examines the identity-driven theories of Charles Taylor, Will Kymlicka, and Avigail Eisenberg in the context of Sawridge Band v. Canada, a case that sets a First Nations right to self-determination against indigenous womens right to equality. The concept of identity itself is not the problem, Dick argues, but rather the way in which prevailing conceptions of identity and group rights obscure intragroup differences. Her proposal for a new politics of intragroup difference has the power to transform rights discourse in Canada. CAROLINE DICK is an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Western Ontario.

Voluntary Sector Organizations and the State Building New Relations


rachel Laforest
Voluntary organizations have moved from the margins to the centre of policy discussions in Canada, and citizens and politicians now view them in a new way. Rachel Laforest shows how members of voluntary organizations have struggled for a stronger voice in policy making and redefi ned their relationship to the federal government through key collaborations. This vivid account of how a loose coalition of organizations was transformed into a distinct sector offers a new conceptual framework for explaining dynamic state-voluntary sector relations at all levels of government.

Against Orthodoxy Studies in Nationalism


Edited by trevor w. harrison and Slobodan Drakulic
During the Cold War, nationalism fell from favour among theorists as an explanatory factor in history, as Marxists and liberals looked to class and individualism as the driving forces of change. The resurgence of nationalism after the collapse of the Soviet Union, however, called for a reconsideration of the paradigm. Against Orthodoxy uses case studies from around the world to critically evaluate decades of new scholarship. The authors argue that theories of nationalism have ossified into a new set of orthodoxies. These overlook nationalisms role as a generative force, one that reects complex historical, political, and cultural arrangements that defy simplistic explanations. TREVOR W. HARRISON is a professor of sociology at the University of Lethbridge, associate director of the same universitys Prentice Institute for Global Population and Economics, and co-founder and director of the Parkland Institute at the University of Alberta. SLOBODAN DRAKULIC was an associate professor of sociology at Ryerson University.

two Mediterranean worlds Diverging Paths of Globalization and Autonomy


Edited by Yassine Essid and william D. Coleman; translated by Kthe roth
Why are globalizing processes unevenly distributed between poor and wealthy countries? What effect do these disparities have on the lives of ordinary people? The contributors to this volume fi nd answers to these questions in the Mediterranean, a region divided between the wealthier nations of the north shore and their poorer neighbours to the south. The divergent histories, economies, cultural and linguistic backgrounds, education systems, and political structures of these two regions lead to explanations not only for uneven globalization but also for the wave of demonstrations that have sparked unrest in North Africa and the Near East. YASSINE ESSID is an expert on the history of Islamic economic thought and on the history and place of Islam in North Africa and the Middle East. WILLIAM D.

Animal Sensibility and inclusive Justice in the Age of bernard Shaw


rod preece
In search of insight into late Victorian ideas about animals and the animal rights movement, Rod Preece explores animal sensibility in the work of George Bernard Shaw. Shaws reformist thought particularly what Preece calls inclusive justice, which aimed to eliminate the suffering of both humans and animals emerges in relation to that of fellow reformers such as Edward Carpenter, Annie Besant, and Henry Salt. This fascinating account of the characters and crusades that shaped Shaws philosophy sheds new light not only on modernist thought but also on the relationship between historical socialism and the ethical treatment of animals. ROD PREECE is professor emeritus at Wilfrid Laurier University and is the author of a number of books, including Brute Souls, Happy Beasts, and Evolution and Sins of the Flesh.

In Milestones on a Golden Road, Richard King discusses pivotal works of fiction published under the watchful eye of Chinas Communist regime between 1945 and 1980. Addressing questions of literary production, King looks at how writers dealt with shifting ideological demands, what indigenous and imported traditions inspired them, and how they were able to depict a utopian Communist future to their readers, even as cracks in the regime began to show. Early red classics were followed by works featuring increasingly lurid images of joyful socialism, and later by fiction exposing the Mao era as an age of irrationality, arbitrary rule, and suffering. Ultimately, the Golden Road had led nowhere.

RICHARD KING is a professor of Chinese Studies at the University of Victoria, teaching Chinese literature and fi lm, Asian popular culture, research methods, and Chinese language. He is the editor of Art in Turmoil: The Chinese Cultural Revolution, 1966-76.

intoxicating Manchuria Alcohol, Opium, and Culture in China's Northeast


Norman Smith
Intoxicating Manchuria reveals how the powerful alcohol and opium industries in Northeast China were altered by warlord rule, Japanese occupation, political conict, and a vigorous antiintoxicant movement. Through the lens of the Chinese medias depictions of alcohol and opium, Norman Smith examines how intoxicants and addiction were understood in this society, the role the Japanese occupation of Manchuria played in the portrayal of intoxicants, and the efforts made to reduce opium and alcohol consumption. This is the fi rst English-language book-length study to focus on alcohol use in modern China and the fi rst dealing with intoxicant restrictions in the region.

Merry Laughter and Angry Curses The Shanghai Tabloid Press, 1897-1911
Juan wang
Merry Laughter and Angry Curses reveals how the late Qing-era tabloid press became the voice of the people. As periodical publishing reached a fever pitch, tabloids had free rein to criticize officials, mock the elite, and scandalize readers. Tabloid writers produced a large amount of anti-establishment literature, whose distinctive humour and satirical style were both potent and popular. This book shows the tabloid community to be both a producer of meanings and a participant in the social and cultural dialogue that would shake the foundations of imperial China and lead to the 1911 Republican Revolution. JUAN WANG is an assistant professor of history at Purdue University.

Alternative Media in Canada


Edited by Kirsten Kozolanka, patricia Mazepa, and David Skinner
Alternative media hold the promise of building public awareness and action against the constraints and limitations of media conglomeration and cutbacks to public broadcasting. But what, exactly, makes alternative media alternative? This path-breaking volume gets to the heart of this question by focusing on the three interconnected dimensions that defi ne alternative media in Canada: structure, participation, and activism. The contributors reveal not only how various kinds of alternative media including indigenous, anarchist, ethnic, and feminist media are enabled and constrained within Canada's complex policy environment but also how, in the context of globalization, the Canadian experience parallels media and policy challenges in other nations.

the Media gaze Representations of Diversities in Canada


Augie Fleras
While Canada is known for its official commitment to diversity, a close look at the countrys media reveals that lip service to differences notwithstanding, they rarely engage with it in ways that reect its presence in Canadian society. The Media Gaze exposes the mainstream medias attempts to appear objective, even as they may ignore or misrepresent those who do not share their white, male, middle-class, heterosexual perspective. Drawing on compelling case studies, this incisive survey explores the societal implications of the industrys hidden bias and suggests strategies for countering its dominance.

Canadas Road to the Pacic War Intelligence, Strategy, and the Far East Crisis
timothy wilford
In December 1941, Japan attacked multiple targets in the Far East and the Pacific, including Canadian battalions in Hong Kong. This intriguing account of Canadian intelligence gathering and strategic planning on the eve of the crisis dispels the assumption that the Allies were totally unprepared for war. Canadians worked closely with their US and Allied counterparts to uncover Japans intentions and to develop a strategic plan for defence. By highlighting Canada's role as a Pacific power, this book sheds new light both on the Pacific War and on events that led to the creation of the Grand Alliance. TIMOTHY WILFORD received a doctorate in history from the University of Ottawa and specializes in twentieth-century military history.

Cold War Fighters Canadian Aircraft Procurement, 1945-54


Randall Wakelam
The cancellation of the CF-105 Arrow in 1959 holds such a grip on the Canadian imagination that earlier developments in defence procurement remain obscure. Randall Wakelam corrects this oversight and offers fresh insight on the AVRO saga and contemporary procurement issues by revealing how cabinet ministers, chiefs of staff, and air marshals negotiated competing pressures to arm the air force, please allies, and save money during a decade when Canadas air force was growing by leaps and bounds. The result was the CF-100 Canuck and the F-86 Sabre, Canadas front-line defensive aircraft in the coldest years of the Cold War.

Give Me Shelter The Failure of Canadas Cold War Civil Defence


Andrew Burtch
How could you and your family survive a nuclear war? From 1945 onwards, the Canadian government developed civil defence plans and encouraged citizens to join local survival corps. By the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the civil defence program was widely mocked, and the public was still vastly unprepared for nuclear war. An expos of the challenges of educating the public on the threat of nuclear annihilation, Give Me Shelter provides a well-grounded explanation of why Canadas civil defence strategy ultimately failed. It is essential reading for anyone interested in Canadas Cold War home front. ANDREW BURTCH is the historian for the post1945 period at the Canadian War Museum.

Labour Goes to War The CIO and the Construction of a New Social Order, 1939-45
Wendy Cuthbertson
During the Second World War, the Congress of Industrial Organizations in Canada grew from a handful of members to more than a quartermillion. What was it about the good war that brought about this phenomenal growth? Labour Goes to War argues that both economic and cultural forces were at work. Labour shortages gave workers greater economic power in the workplace. But cultural factors workers patriotism, ties to those on active service, and allegiance to the peoples war also fueled the CIOs growth. The complex, often contradictory, motives of workers during this period left the Canadian labour movement with an ambivalent progressive/conservative legacy. WENDY CUTHBERTSON has worked for the Canadian Auto Workers Union, the Ontario Pay Equity Commission, and the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations.

Although the exploitation of Latino workers in many industries is well known, pineros Latino forest workers toil largely in obscurity. Brinda Sarathy investigates how the US federal government came to be one of the countrys largest employers of Latino labour, and documents pinero wages and working conditions in comparison to those of white forest labourers. Pinero exploitation, Sarathy argues, is the product of an ongoing history of institutionalized racism in the West. Overcoming this legacy depends on improving the visibility and working conditions of pineros and providing them with a stronger voice in immigration and forestry policy-making. BRINDA SARATHY is an assistant professor of environmental analysis at Pitzer College in Claremont, California.

A wilder west Rodeo in Western Canada


Mary-Ellen Kelm
Rodeo is often seen as emblematic of the Wests reputation as a white mans country. A Wilder West complicates this view, showing how rodeo has been a chaotic and unpredictable place of encounter that challenged expected social hierarchies. Rodeo has brought people together across racial and gender divides, creating friendships, rivalries, and unexpected intimacies. Fans made hometown cowboys, cowgirls, and Aboriginal riders local heroes. Lavishly illustrated and based on cowboy/cowgirl biographies and memoirs, press coverage, archival records, and dozens of interviews with former and current rodeo contestants, promoters, and audience members, this creative history returns to rodeos small-town roots to shed light on the history of social relations in Canadas western frontier.

Chasing the Dragon in Shanghai Canadas Early Relations with China, 1858-1952

Canada shared a rich, multi-faceted history with China long before it recognized the Peoples Republic of China in 1970. John Meehan brings to light the activities of early Canadian missionaries, business people, government officials, and adventurers in Shanghai, the gateway to China and an important cultural contact zone. These sojourners experiences which unfolded against a backdrop of war and revolution and Canadas own evolution from colony to nation reected Canadas deepening relationship with China and the troubling asymmetries that underpinned it. Although Canadians, like other foreigners, had left Shanghai by the early 1950s, their lives and activities foreshadowed more recent Canadian initiatives in China. JOHN D.

try to Control Yourself The Regulation of Public Drinking in Post-Prohibition Ontario, 1927-44
Dan Malleck
The prohibition era of gangsters and bootleggers has captured our imagination. But what happened when government turned the taps back on? Dan Malleck shows that contrary to popular belief, post-prohibition Ontario was an age when the government struggled to please both the wets and the drys. Rather than pandering to temperance groups, officials sought to defi ne and promote manageable drinking spaces in which citizens would follow the rules of proper drinking and foster self-control. The regulation of liquor consumption was a remarkable bureaucratic balancing act between temperance and its detractors but equally between governance and its ideal drinker.

health in rural Canada


Edited by Judith C. Kulig and Allison M. williams
Health research in Canada has mostly focused on urban areas, often overlooking the unique issues faced by Canadians living in rural and remote areas. This volume provides the fi rst comprehensive overview of the state of rural health and health care in Canada. The contributors bring insights and methodologies from multiple disciplines and community-based research projects to a full spectrum of topics: health literacy, rural health-care delivery and training, Aboriginal health, web-based services and their application, rural palliative care, and rural health research and policy. Together, these multifaceted explorations of the dynamic relationship between health and place offer a valuable resource for understanding the special, ever-changing needs of rural communities. JUDITH C. KULIG is a registered nurse and professor within the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Lethbridge. ALLISON M. WILLIAMS is a health geographer and a faculty member in the School of Geography and Earth Sciences at McMaster University.

Social transformation in rural Canada New Insights into Community, Cultures, and Collective Action
Edited by John parkins and Maureen reed
The rapidly changing nature of life in Canadian rural communities is more than a simple response to economic conditions. People living in rural places are part of a new social agenda characterized by transformation of livelihoods, landscapes, and social relations, inviting us to reconsider the meanings of community, culture, and citizenship. This volume presents the work of researchers from a variety of fields who explore social transformation in rural settlements across the country. The essays collectively generate a nuanced portrait of how local forms of action, adaptation, identity, and imagination are reshaping aboriginal and non-aboriginal communities of rural Canada. JOHN PARKINS is an associate professor in the Department of Resource Economics and Environmental Sociology at the University of Alberta. MAUREEN REED is a professor in the School of Environment and Sustainability and the Department of Geography and Planning at the University of Saskatchewan.

investing in place Economic Renewal in Northern British Columbia


Sean Markey, greg halseth, and Don Manson
Investing in Place is about creating the foundations for renewing northern British Columbias rural and small-town economies. Markey, Halseth, and Manson argue that renewal is not about nostalgic reliance on the policies and economic strategies of the past rather, it is about building a pragmatic and innovative vision for development, one that acknowledges both the opportunities and the challenges posed by resource development and global and technological change. The path to renewal lies in placebased development, in people working together at all levels of the community and region to take advantage of local opportunities in a sustainable, responsible way. SEAN MARKEY is an associate professor in the School of Resource and Environmental Management and the Centre for Sustainable Community Development at Simon Fraser University. GREG HALSETH is a professor of geography, director of the Community Development Institute, and the Canada Research Chair in Rural and Small Town Studies at the University of Northern British Columbia. DON MANSON is an adjunct professor of geography and coordinator of the Community Development Institute at UNBC.

rediscovering thomas Adams Rural Planning and Development in Canada


Edited by wayne J. Caldwell
Suburbanization, affordable housing, mass transportation, loss of fertile lands these are modern problems, yet they are not new. Thomas Adams grappled with these same issues nearly a century ago, when he wrote a book that quickly became a touchstone for planners and planning in Canada. Reprinted for the fi rst time and updated with commentaries by leading Canadian planners, this book highlights Adams inuence on the planning profession and the continued relevance of his comprehensive vision for planning to move beyond the demands of the moment to embrace long-term strategies for building stronger rural communities. WAYNE J. CALDWELL is a professor of rural planning in the School of Environmental Design and Rural Development at the University of Guelph.

Architecture and the Canadian Fabric


Edited by rhodri windsor Liscombe
Architecture plays a powerful role in nation building. Buildings and monuments not only constitute the built fabric of society, they reect the intersection of culture, politics, economics, and aesthetics in distinct social settings and distinct times. From fi rst contact to the postmodern city, this anthology traces the interaction between culture and politics as reected in Canadian architecture and the infrastructure of ordinary life. Whether focusing on the construction of Parliament or exploring the ideas of Marshall McLuhan and Arthur Erickson, these highly original essays move beyond considerations of authorship and style to address cultural politics and insights from race and gender studies and from postcolonial and spatial theory. RHODRI WINDSOR LISCOMBE is an associate dean of graduate studies and a professor in the Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory at the University of British Columbia.

Creative Subversions Whiteness, Indigeneity, and the National Imaginary


Margot Francis
In this richly illustrated book, Margot Francis explores how whiteness and Indigeneity are articulated through four icons of Canadian identity the beaver, the railway, the wilderness of Banff National Park, and Indianness and the contradictory and contested meanings they evoke. These seemingly benign, even kitschy, images, she argues, are haunted by ideas about race, masculinity, and sexuality that circulated during the formative years of Anglo-Canadian nationhood. Juxtaposing these nostalgic images with the work of contemporary Canadian artists, she investigates how everyday objects can be re-imagined to challenge ideas about history, memory, and national identity. MARGOT FRANCIS is an associate professor of womens studies and sociology at Brock University.

islam in the hinterlands Muslim Cultural Politics in Canada


Edited by Jasmin zine
Muslim communities have become increasingly salient in the social, cultural, and political landscape in Canada largely due to the aftermath of 9/11 and the racial politics of the ongoing war on terror that have cast Muslims as the new enemy within. Featuring some of Canadas top Muslim Studies scholars, Islam in the Hinterlands examines how gender, public policy, media, and education shape the Muslim experience in Canada. A timely volume addressing some of the most hotly contested issues in recent cultural history, it will be essential reading for academics as well as general readers interested in Islamic studies, multiculturalism, and social justice. JASMIN ZINE is an associate professor of sociology and the Muslim Studies Option at Wilfrid Laurier University.

Feminist Community research Case Studies and Methodologies


Edited by gillian Creese and wendy Frisby
Feminist community research is a collaborative methodology that holds the promise of building a more just society. But in the absence of critical analysis and responsible use of power, the approach can lead to naive or harmful practices. This interdisciplinary volume acknowledges the challenges that researchers can encounter, and discusses strategies that have been employed to overcome them. By sharing collective wisdom gained from research among diverse groups from immigrant and Aboriginal women in Vancouver to poverty-reduction practitioners in Vietnam this book will help researchers and government agencies build better bridges between research institutions and communities. GILLIAN CREESE is a professor of sociology and the director of the Centre for Womens and Gender Studies at the University of British Columbia. WENDY FRISBY is a professor in the School of Human Kinetics and past chair of the Womens and Gender Studies program at the University of British Columbia.

Academic Careers and the gender gap


Maureen baker
Women earn nearly half of all new PhDs in Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Why, then, do they occupy a disproportionate number of the junior-level university positions while men occupy 80 percent of the more prestigious jobs? Maureen Baker draws on candid interviews with male and female scholars, previous research, and her own thirty-eight-year academic career to explain the reasons behind this inequality. She argues that current university priorities and collegial relations often magnify the impact of gendered families and identities and perpetuate the gender gap. Tracing the evolution of university priorities and practices, Baker reveals significant and persistent differences in job security, working hours, rank, salary, job satisfaction, and career length between male and female scholars. MAUREEN BAKER is a professor of sociology at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Father involvement in Canada Diversity, Renewal, and Transformation


Edited by Jessica ball and Kerry J. Daly
Father Involvement in Canada brings together more than a dozen leading scholars of fatherhood issues to examine the role of the Canadian father. They look at the experiences of fathers from all angles, considering different ages, ethnicities, marital statuses, and economic brackets, and examining issues such as the impact of poverty, access to paternity leave, and the availability of support from social institutions. By coalescing these approaches, the book creates a map of interlocking individual, familial, and socioeconomic systems in which fathers are embedded. National in scope, Fatherhood Involvement in Canada is the fi rst book to summarize and challenge current scholarship of Canadian fatherhood and offer new concepts, theoretical frameworks, and research directions. JESSICA BALL is a professor in the School of Child and Youth Care at the University of Victoria. KERRY DALY is dean of the College of Social and Applied Human Sciences at the University of Guelph.

reimagining intervention in Young Lives Work, Social Assistance, and Marginalization


Karen r. Foster and Dale C. Spencer
Poverty and unemployment are on the rise among Canadian youth. Reimagining Intervention in Young Lives looks at the issue from the perspective of those most affected, revealing the difficulties young people encounter with the support system. In-depth interviews with forty-five young people in Ottawa reveal that solutions do exist, predicated on recognition that the problem lies not with incorrigible youth, but with a social-aid structure that imposes barriers to success. Intervention is necessary, argue the authors, but not so much in the lives of young people as in the faulty structures that incorrectly presume how they interpret risk, poverty, and their own potential. KAREN R. FOSTER is a post-doctoral research fellow with the Gender and Work Database and the Comparative Perspectives on Precarious Employment Database at York University. DALE C. SPENCER is a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Sociology at the University of Alberta.

Child and Youth Care Critical Perspectives on Pedagogy, Practice, and Policy
Edited by Alan pence and Jennifer white
Critical and postmodern perspectives have been largely underexplored in the field of child and youth care. This book addresses the gap, showcasing cutting-edge approaches to policy, pedagogy, and practice from diverse perspectives and professional settings. The authors challenge deep-seated assumptions about child and youth care by reinterpreting core concepts such as ethics and outcomes and raising questions about underlying goals and premises. Can the ends of practice be separated from the means? For whose benefit are interventions designed? By recognizing a range of social and political inuences on children and youth, this volume bears witness to exciting developments in child and youth care. ALAN PENCE is UNESCO Chair for Early Childhood Education, Care and Development, and a professor in the School of Child and Youth Care at the University of Victoria.

the End of Children? Changing Trends in Childbearing and Childhood


Edited by Nathanael Lauster and graham Allan
Concerns about declining fertility rates are matched only by fears that childhood is being destroyed by modern parenting practices. This multidisciplinary volume offers a more balanced, less alarmist perspective on the meanings and implications of these issues. Contrary to predictions about the end of children and the end of childhood, these investigations of developments in Canada and the United States, and to a lesser extent elsewhere in the world, show that fertility rates and ideas about children and childhood are not uniform but rather vary around the globe based on factors such as time, culture, class, income, and age. NATHANAEL LAUSTER is an assistant professor of sociology at the University of British Columbia. GRAHAM ALLAN is professor emeritus of sociology at Keele University in the United Kingdom.

public Engagement and Emerging technologies


Edited by Kieran O'Doherty and Edna Einsiedel
New technologies and the science that created them have transformed our lives, posing challenges as to how technological change can be better integrated in society. Recognition of these issues has led to different ways of engaging the public in the assessment and regulation of emerging technologies. This book puts the subject of publics and their engagement in emerging technologies on a robust theoretical footing. With a strong, though not exclusive, focus on genomic technologies, leading theorists and practitioners in the field provide precise and clear insights into the key issues in public participation studies, including ethics, process, and principles of knowledge distribution in democratic societies.
