Through personal narratives from twelve survivors, this book reveals the unfathomable atrocities committed against women during the war and closely correlates the proliferation of the comfort stations with the progression of Japan’s military offensive. This book uses investigative reports, local histories, and witness testimony to put a human face on China’s war experience and on the injustices suffered by hundreds of thousands of Chinese women.PEIPEI QIU is director of the Asian Studies program at Vassar College.

This book examines the received dichotomies between “Western” and “Chinese” medicine, showing how they have been greatly exaggerated. As missionaries went to lengths to make their medicine more acceptable to Chinese patients, modernizers of Chinese medicine worked to become more “scientific” by eradicating superstition and creating modern institutions. This book challenges the supposed superiority of Western medicine in China while showing how “traditional” Chinese medicine was deliberately created in the image of a modern scientific practice.BRIDIE ANDREWS is an associate professor of history at Bentley University and teaches the history of medicine at the New England School of Acupuncture.

As periodical publishing reached a fever pitch, tabloids had free rein to criticize officials, mock the elite, and scandalize readers. Tabloid writers produced a massive amount of anti-establishment literature, whose distinctive humour and satirical style were both potent and popular.

Ironically, the cultural producers chosen to spread the imperialist message were previously left-wing politically. In Glorify the Empire, Annika A. Culver explores how these once anti-imperialist intellectuals produced avant-garde works celebrating the modernity of a fascist state and reflecting a complicated picture of complicity with, and ambivalence toward, Japan’s utopian project.

Over the past thirty years, Taiwanese and Western researchers have subjected Aborigines to intensive genetic research. This book shows the problematic nature of the research, which purports to advance knowledge and cure disease yet portrays Taiwan Aborigines as genetically ill-suited to modern life. It reveals how this research is intertwined with Taiwanese nationalist identity claims and diplomatic relations in the Pacific and with biotechnology industrial development. Munsterhjelm teases out the complex narratives that at once represent Aborigines’ connections to the ancient past and cast doubt on their place in contemporary society, ultimately constructing them as “living dead.” MARK MUNSTERHJELM is an adjunct professor in the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminology at the University of Windsor.

Instead, there is a tendency to frame rural locations as emblematic of authentic or “real” Indigeneity. While such a perspective may support Indigenous struggles for territory and recognition, it fails to account for large swaths of contemporary Indigenous realities, including the increased presence of Indigenous people in cities. The contributors to this volume explore the implications of urbanization on the production of distinctive Indigenous identities in Canada, the US, New Zealand, and Australia.

Tindall, Ronald L. Trosper, and Pamela PerreaultOver 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 rereading 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 about Aboriginal and treaty rights because it is neither culturally nor historically bound.

Graham Broad explodes this myth of home front sacrifice by bringing to light the contradictions of consumer society in wartime. Governments pressured Depression-weary citizens to save for the sake of the nation, but Canadians had money in their pockets, and advertisers tempted them with fresh groceries, glamorous movies, and new cars and appliances.

Published on the centennial anniversary of the war’s outbreak, Death or Deliverance reconsiders an important chapter in the history of both a war and a nation.TERESA IACOBELLI received a doctorate in history from the University of Western Ontario in 2010 and currently works as a public historian.NEW RELEASESeptember 2013, 208 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-2567-2 HC $90.00 978-0-7748-2569-6 LIBRARY E-BOOKMilitary History, Canadian History, Law Studies in Canadian Military History SeriesPublished in association with the Canadian War MuseumDeath or DeliveranceCanadian Courts Martial in the Great WarTeresa IacobelliThis landmark book dispels the idea that the period between the Second World War and the unification of the armed services in 1968 constituted the Canadian Army’s “golden age.” Drawing on recently declassified documents, Peter Kasurak depicts an era clouded by the military leadership’s failure to loosen the grasp of British army culture, produce its own doctrine, and advise political leaders effectively. The discrepancy between the army’s goals and the Canadian state’s aspirations as a peacemaker in the postwar world resulted in a series of civilian-military crises that ended only when the scandal of the Somalia Affair in 1993 forced reform.PETER KASURAK retired in 2007 after leading the defence and national security sections of the Office of the Auditor General of Canada.

Brouwer tells the story of a group of young women and men who confronted the complexities of “underdevelopment” in countries such as India and Nigeria. Moving beyond their initial naïveté, they sought to fit into their host communities and provide needed social services.

Drawing on official records, interviews, and participation in Ranger exercises, Lackenbauer argues that the organization offers an inexpensive way for Canada to “show the flag” from coast to coast to coast.

Positioning consumer culture in Canada within a wider international context, Consuming Modernity explores the roots of modern Western mass culture during the interwar period of 1919 to 1945, when the female worker, student, and homemaker relied on new products to raise her standard of living and separate herself from oppressive traditional attitudes. Mass-produced consumer products freed up affluent women to pursue other interests shaped by marketing campaigns, advertisements, films, and radio shows; concerns over fashion, personal hygiene, body image, and health reflected these new expectations.CHERYL KRASNICK WARSH is a professor of history at Vancouver Island University.

It was suppressed but rose again in the 1920s, spreading into Canada, especially Saskatchewan. This book offers a new interpretation for the appeal of the Klan in 1920s Saskatchewan. It argues that the Klan should not be portrayed merely as an irrational outburst of intolerance but as a populist aftershock of the Great War – and a slightly more extreme version of mainstream opinion that wanted to keep Canada British. Through its meticulous exploration of a controversial issue central to the history of Saskatchewan and the formation of national identity, this book shines light upon a dark corner of Canada’s past.JAMES M.

At a time when government concern over public health issues such as obesity are once again on the rise, Macdonald explains why the first national fitness drive ultimately failed.

In Quebec, a lease-based regulatory system emerged in which lessees, the province, and fish and game clubs effectively privatized Quebec’s wildlife resources, often to the detriment of commercial and subsistence hunters and fishers.DARCY INGRAM is an environmental historian in the History Department at the University of Ottawa.RECENTLY RELEASEDMay 2013, 304 pages, 6 x 9"2 b&w photos, 3 maps, 11 figures978-0-7748-2140-7 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2142-1 LIBRARY E-BOOK Environmental History, Quebec History, Canadian History, Conservation Nature | History | Society SeriesWildlife, Conservation, and Conflict in Quebec, 1840-1914Darcy Ingram16 FALL 2013 | order online @ www.ubcpress.caFEMINIST STUDIES / ENVIRONMENTRESOURCE MANAGEMENTRURAL STUDIESThe rapidly changing nature of life in Canadian rural communities is more than a simple response to economic conditions.

Yet although the camp was said to be based on feminist or eco/feminist principles, insufficient attention has been paid to its impact on feminism and the debates that were raging at that time. Moore sets out to remedy this through a careful, qualitative study of the peace camp.

A complex mix of forces has reshaped the politics of social policy, including global economic pressures, ideological change, shifts in the influence of business and labour, changes in the party system, and the decline of equality-seeking civil society organizations. This volume demonstrates that action and inaction – policy change and policy drift – are at the heart of growing inequality in Canada.KEITH BANTING is a professor in the School of Policy Studies and the Department of Political Studies at Queen’s University and holder of the Queen’s Research Chair in Public Policy.

Yet such practices are just the latest in a long and complex national history. Canadian Liberalism and the Politics of Border Control, 1867-1967 sheds light on the first century of Canada’s 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 today’s more restrictive approach reflects traditions deeply embedded within liberal democracies.CHRISTOPHER G.

Today, there are only a few more women in Canada’s parliament and legislatures than a decade ago. What has happened to the representational gains for women and why does gender parity remain so elusive? To answer these questions, Stalled provides a detailed roadmap of women’s political representation as candidates, office-holders, cabinet ministers, party leaders, and as representatives of the Crown at all levels of government across Canada.

Canada’s government began to consider its own implication in various past wrongs, and in the late twentieth century it began to implement reparative justice initiatives for historically marginalized people. Yet despite this shift, there are more Indigenous and racialized people in Canadian prisons now than at any other time in history. Carmela Murdocca examines this disconnect between the political motivations for amending historical injustices and the vastly disproportionate reality of the penal system – a troubling contradiction that is often ignored.CARMELA MURDOCCA is an associate professor in the Department of Sociology at York University and is a member of York’s graduate programs in sociology, socio-legal studies, and social and political thought.NEW RELEASEOctober 2013, 216 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-2497-2 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2499-6 LIBRARY E-BOOKLaw, Sociology, Race & Ethnicity, Criminology, Law & SocietyLaw and Society SeriesTo Right Historical WrongsRace, Gender, and Sentencing in CanadaCarmela MurdoccaAssumptions about the harmful nature of polygamy have left little room for debate, with monogamy coming to represent a hallmark of advanced societies, and polygamy the immoral alternative. Yet in this volume, eleven scholars ask whether this condemnation is justified by examining, among other perspectives, the lived experiences of polygamous families. In essays that fearlessly face difficult questions of choice, dignity, and love, the authors seek to complicate a conversation that is more often simplified. Thoughtful and persuasive, Polygamy’s Rights and Wrongs is both a close consideration of polygamy and a challenging reflection on the ways in which we value family and intimacy.GILLIAN CALDER is an associate professor in the University of Victoria’s Faculty of Law.

Drawing on court files, 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.

In “Don’t Be So Gay!” Queers, Bullying, and Making Schools Safe, Donn Short considers the effectiveness of safe-school legislation. Drawing on interviews with queer youth and their allies in the Toronto area, Short concludes that current legislation is more responsive than proactive. Moreover, cultural influences and peer pressure may be more powerful than legislation in shaping the school environment. Exploring how students’ own experiences, ideas, and definitions of safety might be translated into policy reform, this book offers a fresh perspective on a hotly debated issue.

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.NEW IN PAPERBACKJuly 2013, 268 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-2359-3 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2360-9 PB $32.95 978-0-7748-2361-6 LIBRARY E-BOOKLaw, Criminology, Corporate Law, Law & Society, Socio-legal Studies, Canadian Federal Politics Law and Society SeriesStill Dying for a LivingCorporate Criminal Liability after the Westray Mine DisasterSteven BittleAboriginal Justice and the Charter examines and seeks to resolve the tension between Aboriginal approaches to justice and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

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 define 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 tolerating religious differences simply isn’t enough to guarantee equality.LORI G.

BeamanCanadian legislatures regularly assign what are truly court functions to non-court, government tribunals. These executive branch “judicial” tribunals are surrogate courts and together comprise a little-known system of administrative justice that annually makes hundreds of thousands of judicial decisions concerning the everyday rights of both individuals and businesses. This book demonstrates that, except perhaps in Quebec, the administrative justice system is a justice system in name only. Failing to conform to rule-of-law principles or constitutional norms, its tribunals are neither independent nor impartial and are only providentially competent.

In the generation that followed, neo-abolitionists looked at the sex industry from a feminist perspective, claiming that workers were victims caught in a patriarchal matrix. Yet both agreed that the industry was a destructive and corrupting force that should be eliminated. In this radical volume, five academics and activists convey their vision of prostitution as work, reclaiming the place of sex workers in the discussion of their lives and their work, and opposing discourses that position them as merely victims without agency.COLETTE PARENT is a professor at the University of Ottawa.

Through personal narratives from twelve survivors, this book reveals the unfathomable atrocities committed against women during the war and closely correlates the proliferation of the comfort stations with the progression of Japan’s military offensive. This book uses investigative reports, local histories, and witness testimony to put a human face on China’s war experience and on the injustices suffered by hundreds of thousands of Chinese women.PEIPEI QIU is director of the Asian Studies program at Vassar College.

This book examines the received dichotomies between “Western” and “Chinese” medicine, showing how they have been greatly exaggerated. As missionaries went to lengths to make their medicine more acceptable to Chinese patients, modernizers of Chinese medicine worked to become more “scientific” by eradicating superstition and creating modern institutions. This book challenges the supposed superiority of Western medicine in China while showing how “traditional” Chinese medicine was deliberately created in the image of a modern scientific practice.BRIDIE ANDREWS is an associate professor of history at Bentley University and teaches the history of medicine at the New England School of Acupuncture.

As periodical publishing reached a fever pitch, tabloids had free rein to criticize officials, mock the elite, and scandalize readers. Tabloid writers produced a massive 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 independent scholar of Chinese history.NEW IN PAPERBACKNovember 2013, 248 pages, 6 x 9"12 b&w illustrations978-0-7748-2338-8 HC $95.00978-0-7748-2339-5 PB $32.95 978-0-7748-2340-1 LIBRARY E-BOOKChinese Studies, Media Studies, Asian History, LiteratureContemporary Chinese Studies SeriesMerry Laughter and Angry CursesThe Shanghai Tabloid Press, 1897-1911Juan WangSporting Gender is the first book to explore the rise of female athletes in China in the early twentieth century. Gao shows how female athletes coped with the conflicting demands of nationalist causes, unwanted male attention, and modern fame, and argues that the athletic female form helped to create a new ideal of modern womanhood in China.

Chieftains into Ancestors describes the intersection of imperial administration and chieftain-dominated local culture in the culturally diverse southwestern region of China. Contemplating the rhetorical question of how one can begin to rewrite the story of a conquered people whose past was never transcribed in the first place, the authors combine anthropological fieldwork with historical textual analysis to build a new regional history – one that recognizes the ethnic, religious, and gendered transformations that took place in China’s nation-building process.DAVID FAURE is Wei Lun Professor of History at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Ironically, the cultural producers chosen to spread the imperialist message were previously left-wing politically. In Glorify the Empire, Annika A. Culver explores how these once anti-imperialist intellectuals produced avant-garde works celebrating the modernity of a fascist state and reflecting a complicated picture of complicity with, and ambivalence toward, Japan’s utopian project. A groundbreaking work, this book magnifies the intersection between politics and art in a rarely examined period of Japanese history.ANNIKA A.

CulverSpanning the earliest attempts to brew beer to the recent popularity of local craft brews, Brewed in Japan presents the first English-language exploration of the steady rise of beer to become the “beverage of the masses.” Alexander underscores the highly receptive nature of Japanese consumers, who adopted and domesticated beer in just a few generations, despite its entirely foreign origins. He also sheds light on the various social, cultural, and financial influences that combined to make beer Japan’s leading alcoholic beverage by the 1960s. Japan’s beer market is now among the most complex in the world, and it continues to evolve.JEFFREY W.

It reveals how this research is intertwined with Taiwanese nationalist identity claims and diplomatic relations in the Pacific and with biotechnology industrial development. Munsterhjelm teases out the complex narratives that at once represent Aborigines’ connections to the ancient past and cast doubt on their place in contemporary society, ultimately constructing them as “living dead.” MARK MUNSTERHJELM is an adjunct professor in the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminology at the University of Windsor.

This book tells the story of urbanization at the rural-urban interface of Hanoi during this period. It explores the socio-political mechanisms that underpinned the formation and evolution of villagers’ livelihoods and land strategies in relation to the ebb and flow of state regulations and territorialization projects. Through the story of this erstwhile village, this volume reconsiders the relationship between urban changes, the state’s governing practices, and grassroots decisions and actions.DANIELLE LABBÉ is a professor of urban planning at the Université de Montréal.

Indigenous Encounters with Neoliberalism explores how this issue is playing out in two countries very differently marked by neoliberalism’s local expressions – Canada and Mexico. Weaving together four distinct case studies, this book presents insights from Indigenous feminism, critical geography, political economy, and postcolonial studies. These examples highlight Indigenous people’s responses to neoliberalism, reflecting the tensions that result from how Indigenous identity, gender, and the environment have been connected.ISABEL ALTAMIRANO-JIMÉNEZ (Zapotec) is an associate professor in the Department of Political Science and in the Faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta.RECENTLY RELEASEDMay 2013, 284 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-2508-5 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2510-8 LIBRARY E-BOOK Indigenous Studies, Political Science, Globalization, Women's Studies, Resource Management Women and Indigenous Studies SeriesIndigenous Encounters with NeoliberalismPlace, Women, and the Environment in Canada and MexicoIsabel Altamirano-JiménezResearch on Indigenous issues rarely focuses on life in major metropolitan centres. Instead, there is a tendency to frame rural locations as emblematic of authentic or “real” Indigeneity. While such a perspective may support Indigenous struggles for territory and recognition, it fails to account for large swaths of contemporary Indigenous realities, including the increased presence of Indigenous people in cities. The contributors to this volume explore the implications of urbanization on the production of distinctive Indigenous identities in Canada, the US, New Zealand, and Australia. In doing so, they demonstrate the resilience, creativity, and complexity of the urban Indigenous presence.EVELYN PETERS is a professor and Canada Research Chair in Urban and Inner City Studies at the University of Winnipeg.

Tindall, Ronald L. Trosper, and Pamela PerreaultOver 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 rereading 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 about 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 a professor of philosophy in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Athabasca University.NEW IN PAPERBACKJuly 2013, 240 pages, 6 x 9"5 figures, 1 map978-0-7748-2245-9 PB $32.95 978-0-7748-2244-2 HC $90.00978-0-7748-2246-6 LIBRARY E-BOOK Aboriginal Studies, Philosophy, Canadian History, British Empire History, Legal HistoryAn Ethic of Mutual RespectThe Covenant Chain and Aboriginal-Crown RelationsBruce MoritoThe Dane-zaa people have lived in BC’s Peace River area for thousands of years.

Graham Broad explodes this myth of home front sacrifice by bringing to light the contradictions of consumer society in wartime. Governments pressured Depression-weary citizens to save for the sake of the nation, but Canadians had money in their pockets, and advertisers tempted them with fresh groceries, glamorous movies, and new cars and appliances.

It was suppressed but rose again in the 1920s, spreading into Canada, especially Saskatchewan. This book offers a new interpretation for the appeal of the Klan in 1920s Saskatchewan. It argues that the Klan should not be portrayed merely as an irrational outburst of intolerance but as a populist aftershock of the Great War – and a slightly more extreme version of mainstream opinion that wanted to keep Canada British. Through its meticulous exploration of a controversial issue central to the history of Saskatchewan and the formation of national identity, this book shines light upon a dark corner of Canada’s past.JAMES M.

In Strong, Beautiful and Modern, Charlotte Macdonald shows how governments encouraged citizens to be healthier and more active, thereby reinforcing the cultural ties of the Empire. At a time when government concern over public health issues such as obesity are once again on the rise, Macdonald explains why the first national fitness drive ultimately failed. This book is a lively investigation into how people and governments think about their health and well-being, and how those historical views have shaped our modern life.CHARLOTTE MACDONALD is a professor of history at Victoria University of Wellington.

During this period of great economic growth, McBride brought order to the legislature, encouraged the development of natural resources by facilitating new railways, championed the province in its quarrels with Ottawa, and promoted Canada’s links with the British Empire. His vision of a modern, industrialized, and wealthy province helped shape its institutions and its place in the British world.

Caroline Desbiens focuses on the first phase of the James Bay hydroelectric project to explore how this culture of hydroelectricity hastened the erasure of Aboriginal homelands and the manipulation of Northern Quebec’s material landscape.

From Alexander Mackenzie to Grey Owl to Pierre Elliott Trudeau, the canoe authenticates Canada’s reputation as a tolerant, environmentalist nation, even when there is abundant evidence to the contrary.

As Darcy Ingram shows in Wildlife, Conservation, and Conflict in Quebec, 1840-1914, many of the wildlife conservation strategies in place today were inspired by a long-standing belief in progress, improvement, and social order. In Quebec, a lease-based regulatory system emerged in which lessees, the province, and fish and game clubs effectively privatized Quebec’s wildlife resources, often to the detriment of commercial and subsistence hunters and fishers.DARCY INGRAM is an environmental historian in the History Department at the University of Ottawa.RECENTLY RELEASEDMay 2013, 304 pages, 6 x 9"2 b&w photos, 3 maps, 11 figures978-0-7748-2140-7 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2142-1 LIBRARY E-BOOK Environmental History, Quebec History, Canadian History, Conservation Nature | History | Society SeriesWildlife, Conservation, and Conflict in Quebec, 1840-1914Darcy Ingram16 FALL 2013 | order online @ www.ubcpress.caFEMINIST STUDIES / ENVIRONMENTRESOURCE MANAGEMENTRURAL STUDIESThe rapidly changing nature of life in Canadian rural communities is more than a simple response to economic conditions.

To some it brought economic and political advantage; but for many others, its development left a legacy of exploitation. Aluminum Ore explores the history of bauxite in the twentieth century and the global forces that this history represents, from its strategic development in the First World War to its role in the globalization of markets, as companies from the northern hemisphere vied for the resources of the south.

Yet although the camp was said to be based on feminist or eco/feminist principles, insufficient attention has been paid to its impact on feminism and the debates that were raging at that time. Moore sets out to remedy this through a careful, qualitative study of the peace camp. She demonstrates that the sheer vitality of eco/feminist politics at the camp confounded dominant narratives of contemporary feminism and re-imagined eco/feminist politics for new times.NIAMH MOORE is a research fellow at the Centre for Research on Socio-Cultural Change (CRESC) at the University of Manchester.NEW RELEASENovember 2013, 256 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-2627-3 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2629-7 LIBRARY E-BOOKEcofeminism, Environmental Studies, Feminist Studies, Advocacy and Activism, Social MovementsThe Changing Nature of Eco/FeminismTelling Stories from Clayoquot SoundNiamh Mooreorder online @ www.ubcpress.ca | FALL 2013 17 TECHNOLOGYAGRICULTURE / BIOTECHNOLOGYFOOD STUDIESNew technologies and the science that created them have transformed our lives, posing challenges as to how technological change can be better integrated in society.

In this book, leading political scientists, sociologists, and economists point to the failure of public policy to contain surging income inequality. A complex mix of forces has reshaped the politics of social policy, including global economic pressures, ideological change, shifts in the influence of business and labour, changes in the party system, and the decline of equality-seeking civil society organizations.

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.

In “Don’t Be So Gay!” Queers, Bullying, and Making Schools Safe, Donn Short considers the effectiveness of safe-school legislation. Drawing on interviews with queer youth and their allies in the Toronto area, Short concludes that current legislation is more responsive than proactive. Moreover, cultural influences and peer pressure may be more powerful than legislation in shaping the school environment. Exploring how students’ own experiences, ideas, and definitions of safety might be translated into policy reform, this book offers a fresh perspective on a hotly debated issue.

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.NEW IN PAPERBACKJuly 2013, 268 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-2359-3 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2360-9 PB $32.95 978-0-7748-2361-6 LIBRARY E-BOOKLaw, Criminology, Corporate Law, Law & Society, Socio-legal Studies, Canadian Federal Politics Law and Society SeriesStill Dying for a LivingCorporate Criminal Liability after the Westray Mine DisasterSteven BittleAboriginal Justice and the Charter examines and seeks to resolve the tension between Aboriginal approaches to justice and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. David Milward asks why Aboriginal communities seek reform and identifies some of the constitutional barriers in their path. He identifies specific areas of the criminal justice process in which Aboriginal communities may wish to adopt different approaches, tests these approaches against constitutional imperatives, and offers practical proposals for reconciling the various matters at stake. This bold exploration grapples with the difficult question of how Aboriginal justice systems can be fair to their constituents but still comply with the protections guaranteed to all Canadians by the Charter.DAVID MILWARD is an assistant professor of law at the University of Manitoba.NEW IN PAPERBACKJuly 2013, 332 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-2456-9 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2457-6 PB $34.95 978-0-7748-2458-3 LIBRARY E-BOOK Law, Aboriginal Studies, Constitutional Law Law and Society SeriesAboriginal Justice and the CharterRealizing a Culturally Sensitive Interpretation of Legal RightsDavid MilwardThe Canadian Yearbook of International Law Volume 50, 201224 FALL 2013 | order online @ www.ubcpress.caLAW / RELIGIONADMINISTRATIVE LAWLAW / POLITICAL SCIENCEOften 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 define 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 tolerating religious differences simply isn’t enough to guarantee equality.LORI G.

BeamanCanadian legislatures regularly assign what are truly court functions to non-court, government tribunals. These executive branch “judicial” tribunals are surrogate courts and together comprise a little-known system of administrative justice that annually makes hundreds of thousands of judicial decisions concerning the everyday rights of both individuals and businesses. This book demonstrates that, except perhaps in Quebec, the administrative justice system is a justice system in name only. Failing to conform to rule-of-law principles or constitutional norms, its tribunals are neither independent nor impartial and are only providentially competent.

Instead, it is often criminalized, sensationalized, and polemicized. In Selling Sex, Emily van der Meulen, Elya Durisin, and Victoria Love present a more nuanced view of the sex industry. They bring together a vast collection of voices – including feminists, researchers, advocates, and sex workers of every stripe – to challenge dominant narratives surrounding sex work. Presenting a variety of perspectives on such diverse topics as social stigma, police violence, labour organizing, and human trafficking, Selling Sex is an eye-opening, challenging, and necessary book.EMILY van der MEULEN is an assistant professor in the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Ryerson University.

Durisin, and Victoria LoveIn the early twentieth century, abolitionists sought to stamp out sex work by penalizing all involved. In the generation that followed, neo-abolitionists looked at the sex industry from a feminist perspective, claiming that workers were victims caught in a patriarchal matrix. Yet both agreed that the industry was a destructive and corrupting force that should be eliminated. In this radical volume, five academics and activists convey their vision of prostitution as work, reclaiming the place of sex workers in the discussion of their lives and their work, and opposing discourses that position them as merely victims without agency.COLETTE PARENT is a professor at the University of Ottawa.

In reality the vast majority of prisoners who serve out their sentences will never see the inside of a prison cell again. On the Outside explores the post-carceral lives of men who have successfully resettled into the community after serving at least a decade in Canada’s penitentiaries. Exploring the transition from imprisonment to the challenges of resettlement, this book will change the way you think about prisoners and open up the debate on the perils of tough-on-crime legislation.MELISSA MUNN is a professor in the Sociology and Interdisciplinary Studies Departments at Okanagan College.

This book argues that in a securitized global context and through racialized immigration and security policies, Arab Canadians have become “targeted transnationals.” Media representations have further legitimized their homogenization and racialization. The contributors to this book examine state practices towards, and media representations of, Arab Canadians. They also present voices that counter the dominant discourse and trace forms of community resistance to the racialization of Arab Canadians.JENNA HENNEBRY is an associate professor in communication studies at Wilfrid Laurier University and the Balsillie School of International Affairs and associate director of the International Migration Research Centre.

In Canada’s prairie provinces, this connection has inspired community-building and created both national and transnational identities for the women who identify as Pinay. Pinay on the Prairies is the first book to look beyond traditional metropolitan hubs of settlement to explore the migration of Filipino women in Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. Based on interviews with first-generation immigrant Filipino women and temporary foreign workers, Pinay on the Prairies is a revealing study of identity and community in Canada and an exploration of feminism, transnational identities, migration, and diaspora in a global era.

They look at the experiences of fathers from many angles, considering different ages, ethnicities, marital statuses, gender partnering, 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 co-considering these dimensions and viewpoints, the contributors bring to light interlocking individual, familial, and socio-economic systems in which fathers are embedded.

The storm transformed the city’s most treasured landmark into a tangle of splintered trees and shattered a decades-old vision of the park as timeless virgin wilderness. In Inventing Stanley Park, Sean Kheraj traces how the tension between popular expectations of idealized nature and the volatility of complex ecosystems helped transform the landscape of one of the world’s most famous urban parks. This beautifully illustrated book not only depicts the natural and cultural forces that shaped the park’s landscape, it also examines the roots of our complex relationship with nature.SEAN KHERAJ is an assistant professor in the Department of History at York University.NEW RELEASESeptember 2013, 304 pages, 6 x 9"51 b&w photos, 11 maps, 1 chart978-0-7748-2425-5 PB $29.95 BC History, Environmental History, Urban Studies & Planning Nature | History | Society SeriesUBC PressMore than an ancient means of transportation and trade, the canoe has come to be a symbol of Canada itself. In Canoe Nation, Bruce Erickson argues that the canoe’s sentimental power has come about through a set of narratives that attempt to legitimize a particular vision of Canada, stories that overvalue the nation’s connection to nature. From Alexander Mackenzie to Grey Owl to Pierre Elliott Trudeau, the canoe authenticates Canada’s reputation as a tolerant, environmentalist nation, even when there is abundant evidence to the contrary. Ultimately, the stories we tell about the canoe need to be understood as moments in cultural history.

In Strong, Beautiful and Modern, Charlotte Macdonald shows how governments encouraged citizens to be healthier and more active, thereby reinforcing the cultural ties of the Empire. At a time when government concern over public health issues such as obesity are once again on the rise, Macdonald explains why the first national fitness drive ultimately failed. This book is a lively investigation into how people and governments think about their health and well-being, and how those historical views have shaped our modern life.

Anthony Winson reveals how a combination of technological changes, population growth, and political and economic factors helped constitute and transform mass dietary regimes from the nineteenth century to the present day, and he offers new evidence linking broad-based dietary changes with negative health effects. With its focus on the degradation of food and the emergent struggle for healthful eating, this book encourages us to reflect on the state of our food environments and to create realistic and innovative strategies that can lead to a healthier future.ANTHONY WINSON is a professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at the University of Guelph.NEW RELEASEJanuary 2014, 320 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-2552-8 PB $32.95 Food Studies, Geography, Public Health, Sociology UBC PressThe Industrial DietThe Degradation of Food and the Struggle for Healthy EatingAnthony WinsonOn May 2, 2011, as Canadians watched the federal election results roll in and Stephen Harper’s Conservatives achieve a majority, it appeared that we were witnessing a major shift in the political landscape. In reality, Canadian politics had been changing for quite some time.

By documenting how parties and voters responded to new challenges between 1993 and 2011, this book sheds new light on one of the most tumultuous periods in Canadian political history.

In “Don’t Be So Gay!” Queers, Bullying, and Making Schools Safe, Donn Short considers the effectiveness of safe-school legislation. Exploring how students’ own experiences, ideas, and definitions of safety might be translated into policy reform, this book offers a fresh perspective on a hotly debated issue. Drawing on interviews with queer youth and their allies in the Toronto area, Short concludes that current legislation is more responsive than proactive. Moreover, cultural influences and peer pressure may be more powerful than legislation in shaping the school environment.DONN SHORT is an assistant professor of law in the Robson Hall Faculty of Law at the University of Manitoba and the founding editor of the Canadian Journal of Human Rights.NEW RELEASEJuly 2013, 316 pages, 6 x 9"9 b&w illustrations978-0-7748-2327-2 PB $32.95 K-12 Education, Queer Studies, Feminism & Gender Studies in Law Law and Society SeriesUBC Press“Don't Be So Gay!”Queers, Bullying, and Making Schools SafeDonn Shortorder online @ www.ubcpress.ca | FALL 2013 3 NEW RELEASESHEALTHFOODFOODFrom Bird Flu to Mad Cow to West Nile Virus, dangerous emerging diseases may not be simple accidents of nature. According to veterinarian and journalist Mark Walters, humans are contributing to – if not overtly causing – some of the scariest epidemics of our time. By emitting carbon, feeding naturally herbivorous cows “recycled animal protein,” clear-cutting forests, and otherwise changing the environment, we are inviting disease. Through human stories and cutting-edge science, Walters explores the origins of our contemporary plagues – the first step to stopping them.

But they ignore the diversity of human genes and how they interact with what we eat. In Food, Genes, and Culture, renowned ethnobotanist Gary Nabhan shows why the perfect diet for one person could be disastrous for another. He traces food traditions around the world, from Bali to Mexico, uncovering the links between ancestry and individual responses to food.

The scope of the topics discussed ranges from the ability of newborns to perceive a beat to the unexpected musical expertise of ordinary listeners. In music, our cognitive functions such as perception, memory, attention, and expectation are challenged; yet, as listeners, we often do not realize that we play an active role in reaching the awareness that makes music so exhilarating, soothing, and inspiring. The evidence shows that music is second nature to most human beings – biologically and socially.

The narrative touches on Point Bolton’s childhood by the Fraser River during the Depression, her ancestor, the warrior Xéyteleq, and her later years on a reserve. While the Stó:lo people kept secret their cultural practices to avoid persecution by paternalistic institutions, Point Bolton helped to revive some of the old crafts and ceremonies. The result of a long-term collaboration between Richard Daly and Point Bolton, this book attests to Point Bolton’s desire to inspire her people to blend traditional “ways of knowing” with the pursuit of modern education.

Davidson has taken new directions within the highly disciplined structure of the old Northwest Coast models – in wood sculpture, ceremonial arts, jewelry, and prints. Less known are his recent forays into abstraction, explored in boldly minimalist easel paintings, graphic work, and sculpture. Pared to essential lines, elemental shapes, and bold colors, these startlingly modern works insinuate themselves into a lifetime’s body of work which has usually been labeled as “traditional.”ROBERT DAVIDSON has been a pivotal figure in the Northwest Coast Native art renaissance since he erected the first totem pole in nearly a century in his ancestral Masset village in 1969.NEW RELEASENovember 2013, 104 pages, 9 x 11"60 colour illustrations978-0-9322-1669-4 PB $40.00 Aboriginal Art, Aboriginal Studies, Art History University of Washington PressRobert DavidsonAbstract ImpulseBarbara Brotherton, Sheila Farr, and John HaworthThe Journey of G.

Anderson examines the American colonies’ campaign to bring Quebec into the Continental confederation and free the Canadians from British “tyranny.” This significant reassessment of a little-studied campaign examines the developments on both sides of the border that rapidly proceeded from peaceful diplomatic overtures to a sizable armed intervention.The military narrative encompasses Richard Montgomery’s plodding initial operations, Canadian partisan cooperation with officers like Ethan Allen, and the harrowing experiences of Benedict Arnold’s Kennebec expedition, as well as the sudden collapse of British defenses that secured the bulk of the province for the rebel cause.MARK R.

AndersonEvery winter settlers of the Canadian and US Mountain West could expect to lose dozens of lives to deadly avalanches. This constant threat to trappers, miners, railway workers – and their families – forced individuals and communities to develop knowledge, share strategies, and band together as they tried to survive the extreme conditions of “avalanche country.” This book uncovers authentic stories of survival struggles, frightening avalanches, and how local knowledge challenged legal traditions that defined avalanches as acts of god. Combining disaster, mining, railroad, and ski histories with the theme of severe winter weather, it provides a new and fascinating perspective on the settlement of the mountain west.

Biehler argues that the ecologies that supported pests were shaped not only by the physical features of cities but also by social inequalities, housing policies, and ideas about domestic space. Community activists and social reformers strived to control pests in cities, but fell short when families and neighbourhood culture were blamed for infestations rather than racial segregation and urban disinvestment. Pest-control campaigns tended to target public or private spaces, but pests and pesticides moved readily across the porous boundaries between homes and neighbourhoods.DAWN DAY BIEHLER is an assistant professor of geography and environmental studies at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
