Andersen argues that Canada got it wrong. From its roots deep in the colonial past, the idea of Métis as mixed has slowly pervaded the Canadian consciousness until it settled in the realm of common sense. In the process, “Métis” has become a racial category rather than the identity of an Indigenous people with a shared sense of history and culture.CHRIS ANDERSEN is an associate professor, the associate dean (research), and the director of the Rupertsland Centre for Métis Research in the Faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta.

Raised by her grandparents who took her on their seasonal travels, Paul spent most of her childhood learning Sliammon ways, teachings, and stories. She shares this traditional knowledge with future generations in Written as I Remember It.ELSIE PAUL, a Sliammon Elder, has spent her life and career in service to others.

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.

At the centre of the story are the ship’s nearly 400 Punjabi passengers, who sought entry into Canada at Vancouver in the summer of 1914, only to be chased away by a Canadian warship. This event became a symbol of the prejudicial immigration policies that Canadians today reject and served to fuel the emerging anti-British movement in India. It deserves the careful re-examination it gets in this thoroughly updated edition that also provides contemporary perspectives on a defining moment in Canadian, British Empire, and Indian history.HUGH JOHNSTON is a historian affiliated with Simon Fraser University.

For these men, the Prairies were a land of opportunity: there, they could open shops, and potentially earn enough money to marry. The result of almost a decade of research and more than three hundred interviews, Cultivating Connections tells the stories of some of prairie Canada’s Chinese settlers – across generations, between genders, and through cultural difference. These stories reveal the critical importance of networks of belonging within these communities in coping with experiences of racism and establishing a successful life on the Prairies.ALISON R.

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. Broad reveals that our “greatest generation” was not impervious to temptation but rather embarked on one of the biggest spending booms in our nation’s history.GRAHAM BROAD is a member of the Department of History at King’s University College, Western University.RECENTLY RELEASEDOctober 2013, 300 pages, 6 x 9"36 photos, 17 graphs978-0-7748-2363-0 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2365-4 LIBRARY E-BOOKMilitary History, Canadian Labour History, Canadian Social HistoryStudies in Canadian Military History SeriesPublished in Association with the Canadian War MuseumA Small Price to PayConsumer Culture on the Canadian Home Front, 1939-45Graham BroadDuring the Second World War, as Canada struggled to provide its allies with food, public health officials warned that malnutrition could derail the war effort. Posters admonished Canadians to “Eat Right” because “Canada Needs You Strong” while cookbooks helped housewives become “housoldiers” through food rationing, menu substitutions, and household production. Ian Mosby explores the symbolic and material transformations that food and eating underwent as the Canadian state took unprecedented steps into the kitchens of the nation, changing how people thought about food.

Drawing on extensive research and interviews, Ruth Compton 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 and who overcame their initial naïveté as they sought to fit into the host communities that had requested their services. Later, as returned volunteers, they brought unique skills to the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and other development organizations and a new level of global consciousness and cultural diversity to Canadian society.RUTH COMPTON BROUWER is a professor emerita, King’s University College, and an adjunct research professor in the Department of History at Western University.

Yet during the Vietnam War era, Canadians met American war resisters not with open arms but with political obstacles and public resistance, and the border remained closed to what were then called “draft dodgers” and “deserters.” Between 1965 and 1973, a small but active cadre of Canadian antiwar groups and peace activists launched campaigns to open the border. Jessica Squires tells their story, often in their own words, bringing to light how these men and women shaped Canadian immigration policy, Canadian identity, and the course of Canadian-American relations in their quest to transform Canada into a refuge from militarism.JESSICA SQUIRES is an independent scholar of Canadian political, social, and cultural history who lives and works in Gatineau, Quebec.RECENTLY RELEASEDSeptember 2013, 376 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-2524-5 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2526-9 LIBRARY E-BOOKCanadian History, Social Movements, History of Civil Liberties & Human RightsBuilding SanctuaryThe Movement to Support Vietnam War Resisters in Canada, 1965-73Jessica SquiresDuring the “long sixties,” baby boomers raised on democratic post-war ideals demanded a more egalitarian society for all. While a few became vocal leaders at universities across Canada, nearly 90% of Canada’s young people went straight to work after high school. There, they brought the anti-authoritarian spirit of the youth revolt to the labour movement. While university-based activists combined youth culture with a new brand of radicalism to form the New Left, young workers were defying their aging union leaders in a wave of renewed militancy.

Mass-produced consumer products promised to free up women to pursue other interests shaped by marketing campaigns, advertisements, films, and radio shows.

In this absorbing work, anthropologist Lynda Mannik analyzes the refugee experience through the photographic record of those who made that harrowing voyage. Drawing on a collection of photographs taken during the voyage and at Pier 21, Mannik asks surviving passengers to describe their journey, their reception in Canada, and to what extent the photos reflect their experiences as they remember them. The photographs in the SS Walnut collection, she argues, bear witness to the refugee experience even as the meanings attached to them have changed over time and in shifting contexts.LYNDA MANNIK is a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology at Memorial University.

The brigade helped Canada establish its international status. In private, however, Canadian officials and military leaders expressed grave doubts about NATO’s strategies and operational plans. Despite these reservations, they sent military families overseas and implemented personnel policies that permanently changed the distribution of the defence budget and the character of the Canadian Army. This original account of the evolution of the Canadian Army – from a small training cadre to a truly national force – offers a new perspective on military policy and diplomacy in the Cold War era.ISABEL CAMPBELL is a military and naval historian with the Directorate of History and Heritage, National Defence Headquarters.RECENTLY RELEASEDNovember 2013, 268 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-2563-4 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2565-8 LIBRARY E-BOOKCanadian Diplomatic History, Military History, Security Studies, Canadian Foreign Policy Studies in Canadian Military History SeriesPublished in association with the Canadian War MuseumUnlikely DiplomatsThe Canadian Brigade in Germany, 1951-64Isabel CampbellThis 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.

His call to arms sparked debate among sociologists. Which side would sociologists take? Would “public sociology” speak for all sociologists? In this volume, leading Canadian experts continue the debate by discussing their discipline’s mission and practice and the role that ethics plays in research, theory, and teaching. By doing so, they offer insights into where their discipline is heading and why it matters to people inside and outside the university.ARIANE HANEMAAYER is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Sociology at the University of Alberta.

SchneiderBetween 1965 and 1975, thousands of American migrants traded their established lives for a new beginning in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia. Some were non-violent resisters who opposed the war in Vietnam. But a larger group was inspired by the ideals of the 1960s counterculture and, hoping to flee the restrictive demands of their parents’ world, they set out to build a peaceful, egalitarian society in the Canadian wilderness. Even today, their success is evident, as these impassioned ideals still define community life.

Novels, histories, movies, and television series often depict courts martial as brutal and inflexible, and social memories of this system of frontline justice have inspired modern movements to seek pardons for soldiers executed on the battlefield. In this powerful and moving book, Teresa Iacobelli looks beyond stories of callous generals and quick executions to consider the trials of nearly two hundred soldiers who were sentenced to death but spared by a disciplinary system capable of thoughtful review and compassion.

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.

Muslims are often perceived as unable or unwilling to integrate, mostly due to their religious beliefs, and Canada is portrayed as a model for successful integration. This book addresses the intersection of these two types of exceptionalism through an empirical study of the experiences of Muslims in Canada. Replete with practical implications, the analysis shows that instead of fixating on religion, the focus should be on the economic and social challenges faced by Muslims in Canada.ABDOLMOHAMMAD KAZEMIPUR is a professor of sociology and Stephen Jarislowsky Chair in Culture Change and Immigration at Memorial University.NEW RELEASEApril 2014, 224 pages, 6 x 9"65 graphs, 2 tables978-0-7748-2729-4 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2731-7 LIBRARY E-BOOKImmigration & Emigration, Multiculturalism & Transnationalism, Canadian Public Policy & Administration, Race & Transnationalism in Politics, Religion & Society, Race & Ethnicity The Muslim Question in CanadaA Story of Segmented IntegrationAbdolmohammad KazemipurFor many Filipinos, one word – kumusta, how are you – is all it takes to forge a connection with a stranger anywhere in the world. 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. This book is the first 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.

US policy makers stopped thinking about how they could better integrate the economies of Mexico, Canada, and the United States and instead focused on security and sovereignty. Although security experts tend to view the developments that followed within a bilateral framework, Game Changer broadens the canvas by asking how America’s desire to keep its two borders closed to threats but open to trade has influenced Canada and Mexico. By adopting a truly North American, or trilateral, framework, this authoritative volume suggests new approaches to security in the post-9/11 world.JONATHAN PAQUIN is an associate professor of political science at Université Laval.

SmallFor many Canadians, the attacks of 9/11 produced feelings of insecurity, vulnerability, and suspicion of “Arabs.” How did these negative attitudes come about? Many point to the complicity of the news media in reproducing racist images of Muslim minorities. Mission Invisible chronicles varying racialized constructions of Muslim communities in the news during the most significant stage of reportage: the initial weeks when the events, issues, and primary actors of 9/11 were all first framed by journalists. By unravelling the discourse and rhetoric of news coverage in Canada at the dawn of the 9/11 era, this book not only uncovers racist representations of Muslim communities but also reveals the discursive processes that rendered this racism invisible.

Yet today, women hold only a quarter of the seats in the House of Commons – a proportion that rose by just seven percentage points between 1993 and 2011. In this illuminating study, Elizabeth Goodyear-Grant examines a significant obstacle still facing women in political life: gendered media coverage. Based on interviews with MPs and party leaders, and on an analysis of print and television media in the 2000 and 2006 federal elections, Gendered News reveals an unsettling climate that affects the success of women in office, and that could deter them from running at all.ELIZABETH GOODYEAR-GRANT is an associate professor in the Department of Political Studies at Queen’s University.NEW IN PAPERBACKJanuary 2014, 260 pages, 6 x 9"9 graphs, 35 tables978-0-7748-2624-2 PB $32.95 978-0-7748-2623-5 HC $90.00 978-0-7748-2625-9 LIBRARY E-BOOKPolitical Science, Gender & Politics, Media Studies, Women’s StudiesGendered NewsMedia Coverage and Electoral Politics in CanadaElizabeth Goodyear-GrantFollowing significant increases in women’s electoral representation in the 1980s and ’90s, progress has stalled.

Government programs are no longer offsetting the growth in inequality generated by the market. 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.

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 fact, many of Manitoba’s early judges spent little time actually practising law, since professional merit was not a criterion for judicial appointments. Rather, it was relationships with influential mentors and communities that ensured appointments and ultimately propelled careers.

DrummondAssumptions 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.

BeamanIn the landmark Lavallee decision of 1990, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that evidence of “battered woman syndrome” was admissible in establishing self-defence for women accused of killing their abusive partners. This book looks at the trials of eleven battered women, ten of whom killed their partners, in the fifteen years since Lavallee. Drawing extensively on trial transcripts and a rich expanse of interdisciplinary sources, the author looks at the evidence produced at trial and at how self-defence was argued. By illuminating these cases, this book uncovers the practical and legal dilemmas faced by battered women on trial for murder. ELIZABETH A.

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 discussion on the perils of tough-on-crime legislation.MELISSA MUNN is a professor in the Sociology and Interdisciplinary Studies Departments at Okanagan College.

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 a member of York’s graduate programs in sociology, socio-legal studies, and social and political thought.RECENTLY RELEASEDOctober 2013, 280 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-2497-2 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2499-6 LIBRARY E-BOOKLaw, Race & Ethnicity, Criminology, Law & SocietyLaw and Society SeriesTo Right Historical WrongsRace, Gender, and Sentencing in CanadaCarmela Murdocca20 SPRING 2014 | order online www.ubcpress.caASIAN STUDIESASIAN STUDIESINTERNATIONAL LAWThe Jianghan plain in central China is shaped by its relationship with water. Once a prolific rice-growing region that drew immigrants to its fertile paddy fields, since the eighteenth century it has become prone to devastating flooding and waterlogging. Over time, population pressures and dike building left more and more people in the region vulnerable to its frequent water calamities. The first environmental and socioeconomic history of the region, Coping with Calamity considers the Jianghan plain’s volatile environment, the constant challenges it presented to peasants, and the peasants’ often ingenious and sophisticated responses during the Qing and Republican periods.JIAYAN ZHANG is an associate professor of history at Kennesaw State University.NEW RELEASEFebruary 2014, 304 pages, 6 x 9"26 tables, 1 map, 1 b&w photograph978-0-7748-2595-5 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2597-9 LIBRARY E-BOOKChinese Studies, Environmental History, Historical GeographyContemporary Chinese Studies SeriesCoping with CalamityEnvironmental Change and Peasant Response in Central China, 1736-1949Jiayan ZhangIn late 1995, the drama Heaven Above (Cangtian zaishang) debuted on Chinese TV. The series featured a villainous high-ranked government official, and was the first of the wildly popular corruption dramas that have riveted the nation ever since. Staging Corruption looks at the rise, fall, and reincarnation of corruption dramas, and their articulation of the collective dreams, and nightmares, of China in the market reform era. It also considers how these dramas, as products of the interplay between television stations, production companies, media regulation, and political censorship, have foregrounded complicated relationships between power, media, and society.

Selective adaptation reveals how local interpretation and implementation of international treaty standards are affected by normative perspectives derived from perception, complementarity, and legitimacy. Institutional capacity explains how operational dimensions of legal performance are affected by structural and relational dynamics of institutional purpose, location, orientation, and cohesion. The author also offers policy suggestions for more effective engagement with China on trade and human rights issues.PITMAN B.

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 history of medicine at the New England School of Acupuncture.

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 the present took a very different turn. 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 – a Golden Road that had led to nowhere.

Ironically, the cultural producers chosen to spread the imperialist message were previously left-wing politically. In Glorify the Empire, Annika A.

In Wildlife, Conservation, and Conflict in Quebec, Darcy Ingram explores the combination of NGOs, fish and game clubs, and state-administered leases that formed the basis of a unique system of wildlife conservation in North America. Inspired by a long-standing belief in progress, improvement, and social order based on European as well as North American models, this system effectively privatized Quebec’s fish and game resources, often to the detriment of commercial and subsistence hunters and fishers.DARCY INGRAM is an environmental historian at the University of Ottawa.NEW IN PAPERBACKJanuary 2014, 304 pages, 6 x 9"2 b&w photos, 2 maps, 12 figures978-0-7748-2141-4 PB $34.95 978-0-7748-2140-7 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2142-1 LIBRARY E-BOOKEnvironmental History, Quebec History, Canadian History, Conservation Nature | History | Society SeriesWildlife, Conservation, and Conflict in Quebec, 1840-1914Darcy IngramIn the 1970s, Hydro-Québec declared in a publicity campaign “We Are Hydro-Québécois.” The slogan symbolized the intimate ties that had emerged between hydroelectric development in Northern Quebec and French Canadian national aspirations.

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 the ever-contested field of cultural politics.

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 IN PAPERBACKOctober 2013, 352 pages, 6 x 9"27 charts & tables978-0-7748-2552-8 PB $32.95 978-0-7748-2551-1 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2553-5 LIBRARY E-BOOKFood Studies, Public Health, Sociology, NutritionWorld rights except US paperbackThe Industrial DietThe Degradation of Food and the Struggle for Healthy EatingAnthony WinsonFor decades, government, industry, and the mainstream media have extolled the virtues of biotechnology while downplaying its negative side effects. Focusing on agriculture, Resistance Is Fertile challenges this dominant rhetoric by analyzing the major issues around which opponents of biotechnology in Canada are mobilizing resistance – namely, the enclosure of the biological commons and the knowledge commons, which together form the BioCommons. What emerges is an empirically and theoretically informed analysis of Canada’s regulatory regime, the corporate control of seeds, and attempts to construct and control public discussions about agricultural biotechnology.WILHELM PEEKHAUS is an assistant professor at the School of Information Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.NEW IN PAPERBACKJanuary 2014, 312 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-2311-1 PB $32.95 978-0-7748-2310-4 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2312-8 LIBRARY E-BOOKFood & Agricultural Studies, Environmental Policy, Sustainability, Health Policy, Science & Technology Resistance Is FertileCanadian Struggles on the BioCommonsWilhelm Peekhaus28 SPRING 2014 | order online www.ubcpress.caMENTAL HEALTHCANADIAN STUDIESCommunity Mental Health in Canada offers a timely, critical overview of the provision of public mental health services in Canada, past, present, and future.

Friends talked of nothing but languid afternoons on the dock, but Harrison marveled at the investment of money and labour that the idyllic escapes demanded. Curious about the rich and passionate meaning these places seemed to hold, she studied cottagers in the Haliburton region over the course of seven years. Thoughtfully and engagingly written, A Timeless Place considers the family cottage as a place where memories are treasured, national identity is celebrated, spiritual balance is restored, and a few dark secrets are kept.JULIA HARRISON is a professor of anthropology at Trent University and author of Being a Tourist: Finding Meaning in Pleasure Travel (UBC Press, 2002).NEW IN PAPERBACKApril 2014, 308 pages, 6 x 9"4 maps978-0-7748-2608-2 PB $32.95 978-0-7748-2607-5 HC $90.00 978-0-7748-2609-9 LIBRARY E-BOOKCanadian Studies, Leisure & Tourism Studies, Sociology, Cultural Anthropology A Timeless PlaceThe Ontario CottageJulia Harrisonorder online www.ubcpress.ca | SPRING 2014 29 RECENT PAPERBACK RELEASESStanding Up with Ga’axsta’lasJane Constance Cook and the Politics of Memory, Church, and CustomLeslie A.

Andersen argues that Canada got it wrong. From its roots deep in the colonial past, the idea of Métis as mixed has slowly pervaded the Canadian consciousness until it settled in the realm of common sense. In the process, “Métis” has become a racial category rather than the identity of an Indigenous people with a shared sense of history and culture.CHRIS ANDERSEN is an associate professor, the associate dean (research), and the director of the Rupertsland Centre for Métis Research in the Faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta.

Elsie Paul is one of the last surviving mother-tongue speakers of the Sliammon language. In this remarkable book, she collaborates with her granddaughter, Harmony Johnson, and a scholar, Paige Raibmon, to tell her life story and the history of her people, in her own words and storytelling style. Raised by her grandparents who took her on their seasonal travels, Paul spent most of her childhood learning Sliammon ways, teachings, and stories. She shares this traditional knowledge with future generations in Written as I Remember It.ELSIE PAUL, a Sliammon Elder, has spent her life and career in service to others.

This book presents eighteen stories in Snohomish, a dialect of Lushootseed, the language of the Indigenous peoples who live in the Puget Sound basin, as told by the last generation to learn the language as its mother tongue. Many of these stories – or syƏyƏhub – were recorded decades ago, but few were transcribed, and even fewer analyzed. Deep understanding of the structure and logic of these texts has eluded linguists. This landmark study provides this analysis, helping to ensure that the language will live on for future generations.DAVID BECK is a professor of linguistics at the University of Alberta.

By the mid-seventeenth century, however, Wendat society was threatened by European disease and Iroquois attacks. Dispersed but Not Destroyed depicts the creation of a powerful Wendat diaspora in the wake of their dispersal and throughout the latter half of the century. Turning the story of the Wendat conquest on its head, this book demonstrates the resiliency of the Wendat people and writes a new chapter in North American history.KATHRYN MAGEE LABELLE is an assistant professor in the History Department at the University of Saskatchewan.NEW IN PAPERBACKJanuary 2014, 288 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-2556-6 PB $32.95 978-0-7748-2555-9 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2557-3 LIBRARY E-BOOKAboriginal Studies, HistoryDispersed but Not DestroyedA History of the Seventeenth-Century Wendat PeopleKathryn Magee LabelleResearch 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.

Until now, the literature on Tsilhqút’ín contained very little description of the language. With forty-seven consonants and six vowels plus tone, the phonological system is notoriously complex. This book is the first comprehensive grammar of Tsilhqút’ín. It covers all aspects of linguistic structure – phonology, morphology, and syntax – including negation and questions. Also included are three annotated texts. The product of decades of work by linguist Eung-Do Cook, this book makes an important contribution to the ongoing documentation of Athabaskan languages.EUNG-DO COOK is a professor emeritus of linguistics at the University of Calgary.RECENTLY RELEASEDSeptember 2013, 670 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-2516-0 HC $165.00 978-0-7748-2518-4 LIBRARY E-BOOKAboriginal Languages, Linguistics, Aboriginal Studies, AnthropologyFirst Nations Languages SeriesA Tsilhqút’ín GrammarEung-Do Cookorder online www.ubcpress.ca | SPRING 2014 3 ABORIGINAL ARTABORIGINAL STUDIESABORIGINAL STUDIESThe Northwest Coast of North America has long been recognized as one of the world’s canonical art zones. This volume records and scrutinizes the history of how and why this has come about. A work of critical historiography, it makes accessible for the first time in one place a broad selection of the 250 years of writing on Northwest Coast art. The contributors – leading scholars, writers, and artists – provide perspectives on the diverse intellectual traditions that have influenced, stimulated, and clashed with each other. In unsettling the conventions that have shaped the idea of Northwest Coast Native art, this book joins the lively, often heated, and now global, debates about what constitutes Native art and who should decide.CHARLOTTE TOWNSEND-GAULT is a professor in the Department of Art History and Visual Art at the University of British Columbia.

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.

At the centre of the story are the ship’s nearly 400 Punjabi passengers, who sought entry into Canada at Vancouver in the summer of 1914, only to be chased away by a Canadian warship. This event became a symbol of the prejudicial immigration policies that Canadians today reject and served to fuel the emerging anti-British movement in India. It deserves the careful re-examination it gets in this thoroughly updated edition that also provides contemporary perspectives on a defining moment in Canadian, British Empire, and Indian history.HUGH JOHNSTON is a historian affiliated with Simon Fraser University.

For these men, the Prairies were a land of opportunity: there, they could open shops, and potentially earn enough money to marry. The result of almost a decade of research and more than three hundred interviews, Cultivating Connections tells the stories of some of prairie Canada’s Chinese settlers – across generations, between genders, and through cultural difference. These stories reveal the critical importance of networks of belonging within these communities in coping with experiences of racism and establishing a successful life on the Prairies.ALISON R.

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. Broad reveals that our “greatest generation” was not impervious to temptation but rather embarked on one of the biggest spending booms in our nation’s history.GRAHAM BROAD is a member of the Department of History at King’s University College, Western University.RECENTLY RELEASEDOctober 2013, 300 pages, 6 x 9"36 photos, 17 graphs978-0-7748-2363-0 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2365-4 LIBRARY E-BOOKMilitary History, Canadian Labour History, Canadian Social HistoryStudies in Canadian Military History SeriesPublished in Association with the Canadian War MuseumA Small Price to PayConsumer Culture on the Canadian Home Front, 1939-45Graham BroadDuring the Second World War, as Canada struggled to provide its allies with food, public health officials warned that malnutrition could derail the war effort. Posters admonished Canadians to “Eat Right” because “Canada Needs You Strong” while cookbooks helped housewives become “housoldiers” through food rationing, menu substitutions, and household production. Ian Mosby explores the symbolic and material transformations that food and eating underwent as the Canadian state took unprecedented steps into the kitchens of the nation, changing how people thought about food.

Drawing on extensive research and interviews, Ruth Compton 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 and who overcame their initial naïveté as they sought to fit into the host communities that had requested their services. Later, as returned volunteers, they brought unique skills to the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and other development organizations and a new level of global consciousness and cultural diversity to Canadian society.RUTH COMPTON BROUWER is a professor emerita, King’s University College, and an adjunct research professor in the Department of History at Western University.

Yet during the Vietnam War era, Canadians met American war resisters not with open arms but with political obstacles and public resistance, and the border remained closed to what were then called “draft dodgers” and “deserters.” Between 1965 and 1973, a small but active cadre of Canadian antiwar groups and peace activists launched campaigns to open the border. Jessica Squires tells their story, often in their own words, bringing to light how these men and women shaped Canadian immigration policy, Canadian identity, and the course of Canadian-American relations in their quest to transform Canada into a refuge from militarism.JESSICA SQUIRES is an independent scholar of Canadian political, social, and cultural history who lives and works in Gatineau, Quebec.RECENTLY RELEASEDSeptember 2013, 376 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-2524-5 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2526-9 LIBRARY E-BOOKCanadian History, Social Movements, History of Civil Liberties & Human RightsBuilding SanctuaryThe Movement to Support Vietnam War Resisters in Canada, 1965-73Jessica SquiresDuring the “long sixties,” baby boomers raised on democratic post-war ideals demanded a more egalitarian society for all. While a few became vocal leaders at universities across Canada, nearly 90% of Canada’s young people went straight to work after high school. There, they brought the anti-authoritarian spirit of the youth revolt to the labour movement. While university-based activists combined youth culture with a new brand of radicalism to form the New Left, young workers were defying their aging union leaders in a wave of renewed militancy. In Rebel Youth, Ian Milligan looks at these converging currents, demonstrating convincingly how they were part of the same youth phenomenon.IAN MILLIGAN is an assistant professor of Canadian and digital history at the University of Waterloo.

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.

Mass-produced consumer products promised to free up women to pursue other interests shaped by marketing campaigns, advertisements, films, and radio shows.

His call to arms sparked debate among sociologists. Which side would sociologists take? Would “public sociology” speak for all sociologists? In this volume, leading Canadian experts continue the debate by discussing their discipline’s mission and practice and the role that ethics plays in research, theory, and teaching. By doing so, they offer insights into where their discipline is heading and why it matters to people inside and outside the university.ARIANE HANEMAAYER is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Sociology at the University of Alberta.

But a larger group was inspired by the ideals of the 1960s counterculture and, hoping to flee the restrictive demands of their parents’ world, they set out to build a peaceful, egalitarian society in the Canadian wilderness. Even today, their success is evident, as these impassioned ideals still define community life. Welcome to Resisterville is both a look at an untold chapter in Canadian history and a compelling story of enduring idealism.KATHLEEN RODGERS is an assistant professor of sociology in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at the University of Ottawa.NEW RELEASEApril 2014, 200 pages, 6 x 9"15 b&w photos, 1 map978-0-7748-2733-1 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2735-5 LIBRARY E-BOOKSociology, BC History, Immigration & Emigration, Social & Cultural Anthropology, Canadian Social History, Social Movements Welcome to ResistervilleAmerican Dissidents in British ColumbiaKathleen RodgersSoldiers found guilty of desertion or cowardice during the Great War faced death by firing squad. Novels, histories, movies, and television series often depict courts martial as brutal and inflexible, and social memories of this system of frontline justice have inspired modern movements to seek pardons for soldiers executed on the battlefield. In this powerful and moving book, Teresa Iacobelli looks beyond stories of callous generals and quick executions to consider the trials of nearly two hundred soldiers who were sentenced to death but spared by a disciplinary system capable of thoughtful review and compassion. By bringing to light these men’s experiences, Death or Deliverance reconsiders an important chapter in the history of both a war and a nation.

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.

Muslims are often perceived as unable or unwilling to integrate, mostly due to their religious beliefs, and Canada is portrayed as a model for successful integration. This book addresses the intersection of these two types of exceptionalism through an empirical study of the experiences of Muslims in Canada. Replete with practical implications, the analysis shows that instead of fixating on religion, the focus should be on the economic and social challenges faced by Muslims in Canada.ABDOLMOHAMMAD KAZEMIPUR is a professor of sociology and Stephen Jarislowsky Chair in Culture Change and Immigration at Memorial University.NEW RELEASEApril 2014, 224 pages, 6 x 9"65 graphs, 2 tables978-0-7748-2729-4 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2731-7 LIBRARY E-BOOKImmigration & Emigration, Multiculturalism & Transnationalism, Canadian Public Policy & Administration, Race & Transnationalism in Politics, Religion & Society, Race & Ethnicity The Muslim Question in CanadaA Story of Segmented IntegrationAbdolmohammad KazemipurFor many Filipinos, one word – kumusta, how are you – is all it takes to forge a connection with a stranger anywhere in the world. 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. This book is the first 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.

US policy makers stopped thinking about how they could better integrate the economies of Mexico, Canada, and the United States and instead focused on security and sovereignty. Although security experts tend to view the developments that followed within a bilateral framework, Game Changer broadens the canvas by asking how America’s desire to keep its two borders closed to threats but open to trade has influenced Canada and Mexico. By adopting a truly North American, or trilateral, framework, this authoritative volume suggests new approaches to security in the post-9/11 world.JONATHAN PAQUIN is an associate professor of political science at Université Laval.

Political Communication in Canada investigates what new tactics, tools, and channels are being used by political institutions, the media, and citizens to disseminate information and what implications they have for democracy. Contributors examine concepts such as the permanent campaign, political advertising, political branding, and the personalization of politics in Canada. They also explore themes in traditional mass media, news websites, blogging, and social media. Together, they probe whether changes in the way that Canadians exchange information about politics is improving or harming democratic discourse.

SmallFor many Canadians, the attacks of 9/11 produced feelings of insecurity, vulnerability, and suspicion of “Arabs.” How did these negative attitudes come about? Many point to the complicity of the news media in reproducing racist images of Muslim minorities. Mission Invisible chronicles varying racialized constructions of Muslim communities in the news during the most significant stage of reportage: the initial weeks when the events, issues, and primary actors of 9/11 were all first framed by journalists. By unravelling the discourse and rhetoric of news coverage in Canada at the dawn of the 9/11 era, this book not only uncovers racist representations of Muslim communities but also reveals the discursive processes that rendered this racism invisible.

Yet today, women hold only a quarter of the seats in the House of Commons – a proportion that rose by just seven percentage points between 1993 and 2011. In this illuminating study, Elizabeth Goodyear-Grant examines a significant obstacle still facing women in political life: gendered media coverage. Based on interviews with MPs and party leaders, and on an analysis of print and television media in the 2000 and 2006 federal elections, Gendered News reveals an unsettling climate that affects the success of women in office, and that could deter them from running at all.ELIZABETH GOODYEAR-GRANT is an associate professor in the Department of Political Studies at Queen’s University.NEW IN PAPERBACKJanuary 2014, 260 pages, 6 x 9"9 graphs, 35 tables978-0-7748-2624-2 PB $32.95 978-0-7748-2623-5 HC $90.00 978-0-7748-2625-9 LIBRARY E-BOOKPolitical Science, Gender & Politics, Media Studies, Women’s StudiesGendered NewsMedia Coverage and Electoral Politics in CanadaElizabeth Goodyear-GrantFollowing significant increases in women’s electoral representation in the 1980s and ’90s, progress has stalled.

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 road map 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. Comprehensive and accessible, this volume makes clear that women are far from achieving equality in sites of formal political power.LINDA TRIMBLE is a professor in the Political Science Department at the University of Alberta.

Government programs are no longer offsetting the growth in inequality generated by the market. 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 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.

Instead, it is often criminalized, sensationalized, and polemicized. In Selling Sex, Emily van der Meulen, Elya M. 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.

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 fact, many of Manitoba’s early judges spent little time actually practising law, since professional merit was not a criterion for judicial appointments. Rather, it was relationships with influential mentors and communities that ensured appointments and ultimately propelled careers. This book is one of the few studies to examine why many of the best and brightest members of the bar either did not want to go to the bench, or if they did, why they may not have gotten there.DALE BRAWN is an associate professor in the Department of Law and Justice at Laurentian University.NEW RELEASEMay 2014, 230 pages, 6 x 9"11 b&w photographs, 34 tables978-0-7748-2675-4 HC $90.00 978-0-7748-2677-8 LIBRARY E-BOOK Legal History, Canadian Social History, Manitoba HistoryLaw and Society SeriesPaths to the BenchThe Judicial Appointment Process in Manitoba, 1870-1950Dale BrawnHistorically, Canada’s Constitution has been principally viewed as a federal framework or a rights bulwark.

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.

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 a member of York’s graduate programs in sociology, socio-legal studies, and social and political thought.RECENTLY RELEASEDOctober 2013, 280 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-2497-2 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2499-6 LIBRARY E-BOOKLaw, Race & Ethnicity, Criminology, Law & SocietyLaw and Society SeriesTo Right Historical WrongsRace, Gender, and Sentencing in CanadaCarmela Murdocca20 SPRING 2014 | order online www.ubcpress.caASIAN STUDIESASIAN STUDIESINTERNATIONAL LAWThe Jianghan plain in central China is shaped by its relationship with water. Once a prolific rice-growing region that drew immigrants to its fertile paddy fields, since the eighteenth century it has become prone to devastating flooding and waterlogging. Over time, population pressures and dike building left more and more people in the region vulnerable to its frequent water calamities. The first environmental and socioeconomic history of the region, Coping with Calamity considers the Jianghan plain’s volatile environment, the constant challenges it presented to peasants, and the peasants’ often ingenious and sophisticated responses during the Qing and Republican periods.JIAYAN ZHANG is an associate professor of history at Kennesaw State University.NEW RELEASEFebruary 2014, 304 pages, 6 x 9"26 tables, 1 map, 1 b&w photograph978-0-7748-2595-5 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2597-9 LIBRARY E-BOOKChinese Studies, Environmental History, Historical GeographyContemporary Chinese Studies SeriesCoping with CalamityEnvironmental Change and Peasant Response in Central China, 1736-1949Jiayan ZhangIn late 1995, the drama Heaven Above (Cangtian zaishang) debuted on Chinese TV. The series featured a villainous high-ranked government official, and was the first of the wildly popular corruption dramas that have riveted the nation ever since. Staging Corruption looks at the rise, fall, and reincarnation of corruption dramas, and their articulation of the collective dreams, and nightmares, of China in the market reform era. It also considers how these dramas, as products of the interplay between television stations, production companies, media regulation, and political censorship, have foregrounded complicated relationships between power, media, and society.

Selective adaptation reveals how local interpretation and implementation of international treaty standards are affected by normative perspectives derived from perception, complementarity, and legitimacy. Institutional capacity explains how operational dimensions of legal performance are affected by structural and relational dynamics of institutional purpose, location, orientation, and cohesion. The author also offers policy suggestions for more effective engagement with China on trade and human rights issues.PITMAN B.

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 history of medicine at the New England School of Acupuncture.

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 the present took a very different turn. 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 – a Golden Road that had led to nowhere.

Ironically, the cultural producers chosen to spread the imperialist message were previously left-wing politically. In Glorify the Empire, Annika A.

In Wildlife, Conservation, and Conflict in Quebec, Darcy Ingram explores the combination of NGOs, fish and game clubs, and state-administered leases that formed the basis of a unique system of wildlife conservation in North America. Inspired by a long-standing belief in progress, improvement, and social order based on European as well as North American models, this system effectively privatized Quebec’s fish and game resources, often to the detriment of commercial and subsistence hunters and fishers.DARCY INGRAM is an environmental historian at the University of Ottawa.NEW IN PAPERBACKJanuary 2014, 304 pages, 6 x 9"2 b&w photos, 2 maps, 12 figures978-0-7748-2141-4 PB $34.95 978-0-7748-2140-7 HC $95.00 978-0-7748-2142-1 LIBRARY E-BOOKEnvironmental History, Quebec History, Canadian History, Conservation Nature | History | Society SeriesWildlife, Conservation, and Conflict in Quebec, 1840-1914Darcy IngramIn the 1970s, Hydro-Québec declared in a publicity campaign “We Are Hydro-Québécois.” The slogan symbolized the intimate ties that had emerged between hydroelectric development in Northern Quebec and French Canadian national aspirations.

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 that overvalues 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 the ever-contested field of cultural politics.

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

Focusing on agriculture, Resistance Is Fertile challenges this dominant rhetoric by analyzing the major issues around which opponents of biotechnology in Canada are mobilizing resistance – namely, the enclosure of the biological and the knowledge commons, which together form the BioCommons. What emerges is a thoughtful and informed analysis of Canada’s regulatory regime, the corporate control of seeds, and attempts to construct and control public discussions about agricultural biotechnology.WILHELM PEEKHAUS is an assistant professor at the School of Information Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.January 2014, 312 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-2311-1 PB $32.95Current Affairs, Environmental Advocacy & Activism, Environmental Politics, Food & Agricultural Studies, Science & Technology UBC PressChinese Comfort WomenTestimonies from Imperial Japan's Sex SlavesBy Peipei Qiu, with Su Zhiliang and Chen LifeiResistance Is FertileCanadian Struggles on the BioCommonsWilhelm Peekhaus2 SPRING 2014 | order online @ www.ubcpress.caNEW RELEASESHISTORYMILITARY HISTORYCURRENT AFFAIRSUntil now there has been no satisfactory answer to the question of why, in May of 1941, Hitler’s deputy Rudolf Hess flew a German fighter plane across the channel to Scotland, crashing at night in a muddy field near Dungavel House. Though Hess had been one of Hitler’s closest confidantes, he was immediately denounced as a traitor in Berlin. Imprisoned until his death in 1987, the documents he brought with him were confiscated and have never been made public. The official report on Hess has always been that he acted alone, but many historians question this conclusion.PETER PADFIELD is a distinguished British naval and Nazi-period historian, winner of the Mountbatten Maritime Prize in 2003 for his Maritime Supremacy trilogy, and author of a biography of Heinrich Himmler.May 2014, 464 pages, 6 x 9"21 b&w illustrations978-1-6116-8531-2 HC $35.00WWII History, Military History, European History University Press of New EnglandNight Flight to DungavelRudolf Hess, Winston Churchill, and the Real Turning Point of WWIIPeter PadfieldThis 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.

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.

Alston Chase searches for the immortality of dogs, what makes them unique companions, and why we humans willingly give them our hearts, knowing that someday they will be broken.

It is an account of adventure and deep reflection. After first visiting the Trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh in 1985, he returned again and again, seeking to catch a glimpse of the phantom of the Himalayas – the elusive snow leopard. During the process of these journeys, he became enthralled with the unique culture of this ancient mountain kingdom, one of the oldest enclaves of Buddhism.

The author shares the stories of scientists like Alfred Wegener, who formulated his theory of continental drift while gazing at ice floes calving from Greenland glaciers, and Brian Atwater, who paddled his aluminum canoe up muddy coastal streams looking for layers of peat sandwiched among sand and silt. The story begins and ends in Seaside, Oregon, with geologist Tom Horning, who survived the tsunami that hit Seaside in 1964.

Opinions about the rich are passionate but rarely thoughtful. Using case studies, personal observation, and data on the 1,218 global billionaires (as identified by Forbes magazine), Darrell West examines the role of the super wealthy in economies and political systems. West argues for a much more nuanced view of the wealthy class. Wealthy individuals have produced extraordinary innovations for the benefit of many. But the growing concentration of wealth undermines social mobility and impinges on democratic self-rule.

Drawn from previously unpublished journals, correspondence, photographs, and poems, Peter Ovlovsky, A life in Words, begins just as Orlovsky is discharged from the Army, having declared that it was “an army without love.” The book follows the young man through years of self-doubt and details his first meeting with Ginsberg in San Francisco from his own perspective. Orlovsky’s story is a refreshing departure from the established history of the Beats.PETER ANTON ORLOVSKY (1933–2010) was more than just the long-time partner of Allen Ginsberg; he was a poet in his own right.
