Schuster, with a foreword by Margaret Atwood In August 1989, Jane Rule – novelist, essayist, and the first widely recognized “public lesbian” in North America – summed up the first eight years of her correspondence with Rick Bébout, journalist and editor with the Toronto-based Body Politic: “It seems to me that what has concerned us is richly human and significantly focused on the concerns of our time and our tribe.”A Queer Love Story presents the first fifteen years of their correspondence. At turns poignant, scintillating, and incisive, their exchanges include ruminations on queer life and the writing life as they document some of the most pressing LGBT issues and events of the 1980s and ’90s, including HIV/AIDs, censorship, youth sexuality, public sex and S/M, Toronto’s infamous bath raids, and state regulation of identity and desire.Rule lived in a remote rural community on Galiano Island, British Columbia. Bébout was a resident of and devoted to Toronto’s gay village. As writers, Rule and Bébout hoped to nurture a more precise language to articulate gay and lesbian lives. Together, they offer sharp-eyed and unsentimental observations on queer communities and politics.A Queer Love Story showcases not only two incisive minds in intimate dialogue but also, more largely, how members of the queer community worked together to build ties of love and friendship amidst intolerance and outright hostility.MARILYN R. SCHUSTER was the Andrew W.

Mulé This analysis of the relationship between gender and nature proposes that masculinity is a technology that shapes both our engagement with the natural world and how we define freedom. As the complexity of our ecosystems becomes more apparent, the line between nature and culture, human and nonhuman, and technology and bodies becomes less distinct. Yet contemporary masculinity studies has generally failed to incorporate this new way of thinking. Drawing on the work of the Frankfurt School, Heidegger, and new materialist theories, Steve Garlick reassesses the relationship between masculinity, nature, and embodiment to advance a new critical theory of masculinity.STEVE GARLICK is an associate professor of sociology at the University of Victoria.RECENTLY RELEASED EOctober 2016236 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-3329-5 HC $65.00978-0-7748-3331-8 LIBRARY E-BOOKGender & Sexuality, Masculinity Studies, Sociology & GenderSexuality Studies SeriesThe Nature of MasculinityCritical Theory, New Materialisms, and Technologies of EmbodimentSteve Garlick This perceptive intellectual history explores the role of manhood in French Canadian culture and nationalism. In the late nineteenth century, Quebec was still an agrarian society and masculinity was rooted in the land and the family and informed by Catholic principles of piety and self-restraint. As the industrial era took hold, a new model of manhood was forged, built on the values of secularism and individualism. Vacante’s analysis reveals how French Canadian intellectuals defined masculinity in response to imperialist English Canadian ideals. This “national manhood” enabled French Canadian men to participate in a modern, industrial economy while asserting their cultural authority.JEFFERY VACANTE is an assistant professor in the Department of History at the University of Western Ontario.NEW RELEASE EJune 2017288 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-3463-6 HC $89.95978-0-7748-3465-0 LIBRARY E-BOOKGender & Sexuality, Masculinity Studies, Canadian HistoryNational Manhood and the Creation of Modern QuebecJeffery Vacanteorder online @ ubcpress.ca | 3 HEALTHWhen patients visit a clinic or hospital, they bring stories of the everyday life conditions that made them sick in the first place – stories about where they work, live, and play; stories about income, food security, and housing.

Health activist, scholar, and cancer survivor Sharon Batt examines the issue by investigating Canada’s breast cancer movement from 1990 to 2010. Health Advocacy, Inc. dissects the relationship between the companies that sell pharmaceuticals and the individuals who use them, drawing links between neoliberalism and corporate financing, and the ensuing threat to the public health care system. Combining archival analysis, interviews with advocacy and industry representatives, and personal observation, Batt argues that the resulting power imbalance continues to challenge the groups’ ability to put patients’ interests ahead of those of the funders. A movement that once encouraged democratic participation in the development of health policy now eerily echoes the demands of the pharmaceutical industry. Batt’s thorough account of this shift defines the stakes of activism in public health today.SHARON BATT is an independent scholar and adjunct professor in the Department of Bioethics at Dalhousie University.Health Advocacy, Inc.How Pharmaceutical Funding Changed the Breast Cancer MovementSharon Batt HEALTHNEW RELEASE EJuly 2017288 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-3384-4 HC $39.95978-0-7748-3386-8 LIBRARY E-BOOKHealth, Women’s Studies, Social MovementsThis is a powerful insider account, coupled with excellent scholarship, of Big Pharma’s doings in relation to the breast cancer movement.

The Deindustrialized World interrogates the process of industrial ruination, from the first impact of layoffs in metropolitan cities, suburban areas, and single-industry towns to the shock waves that rippled outward, affecting entire regions, countries, and beyond. Scholars from five nations share personal stories of ruin and ruination and ask others what it means to be working class in a postindustrial world. Together, they open a window on the lived experiences of people living at ground zero of deindustrialization, revealing its layered impacts and examining how workers, environmentalists, activists, and the state have responded to its challenges.STEVEN HIGH is a professor of history at Concordia University.

We think of the rogue employee who snaps. But in Blood, Sweat, and Fear, Jeremy Milloy demonstrates that workplace violence never occurs in isolation. Using violence as a lens, he provides fresh and original insights into the everyday workings of capitalism, class conflict, race, and gender in the United States and Canada of the late twentieth century, bringing historical perspective to contemporary debates about North American violence. Milloy has produced the first full-length historical exploration of the origins and effects of individual violence in the automotive industry. His gripping analysis spans 1960 to 1980, when North American auto plants were routinely the sites of fights, assaults, and even murders, and argues that violence resulted primarily from workplace conditions including on-the-job exploitation, racial tension, bureaucratization, and hypermasculinity. This explosive book reveals that workplace violence has been a constant aspect of class conflict – and that our understanding needs to go deeper.JEREMY MILLOY is a SSHRC postdoctoral fellow at the Frost Centre for Canadian and Indigenous Studies at Trent University.Blood, Sweat, and FearViolence at Work in the North American Auto Industry, 1960–80Jeremy MilloyHISTORYNEW RELEASE EApril 2017224 pages, 6 x 9"10 photos, 1 table978-0-7748-3453-7 HC $75.00978-0-7748-3455-1 LIBRARY E-BOOKCanadian and US History, Labour HistoryHISTORYBlood, Sweat, and Fear interrogates a fundamental, yet relatively unexplored, element of rough working-class masculine culture – violence.

As Irish immigration dwindled in the early twentieth century, Irish culture in the city became diasporic, reflecting an imagined homeland. Focusing on the power of memory to shape community, Matthew Barlow finds that, despite sociopolitical pressures and a declining population, the spirit of this ethnic quarter was nurtured by the men and women who grew up there. Today, as Griffintown attracts renewed interest from artists, scholars, and tourists, this textured analysis reveals how public memory defines our urban centres.MATTHEW BARLOW is a public historian based in Tennessee.NEW RELEASE EMay 2017256 pages, 6 x 9"13 photos, 4 maps, 1 table978-0-7748-3433-9 HC $85.00978-0-7748-3435-3 LIBRARY E-BOOKCanadian History, Public History, Ethnicity, Diaspora StudiesShared: Oral and Public History SeriesGriffintownIdentity and Memory in an Irish Diaspora NeighbourhoodMatthew BarlowHow has race shaped Canada’s international encounters and its role in the world? In Dominion of Race, leading scholars in Canadian international relations demonstrate the necessity of placing race at the centre of the narratives of Canadian international history. Destabilizing conventional understandings of Canada in the world, they expose how race thinking has informed priorities and policies, positioned Canada in the international community, and contributed to a global order rooted in racial beliefs. By demonstrating that race is a fundamental component of Canada and its international history, this book calls for reengagement with the histories of those marginalized in, or excluded from, the historical record.LAURA MADOKORO is an assistant professor in the Department of History and Classical Studies at McGill University.

In fact, in the wake of the American Revolution, many Loyalist families brought slaves with them when they settled in the Maritime colonies of British North America. Once there, slaves used their traditions of survival, resistance, and kinship networks to negotiate their new reality. Harvey Amani Whitfield’s book, the first on slavery in the Maritimes, is a startling corrective to the enduring and triumphant narrative of Canada as a land of freedom at the end of the Underground Railroad.HARVEY AMANI WHITFIELD is an associate professor of history at the University of Vermont.RECENTLY RELEASED EFebruary 2016192 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-3228-1 HC $95.00978-0-7748-3229-8 PB $29.95978-0-7748-3230-4 LIBRARY E-BOOKCanadian & US History, Immigration & Emigration, SlaveryNorth to BondageLoyalist Slavery in the MaritimesHarvey Amani WhitfieldIn 1875, Icelandic immigrants established a colony on the southwest shore of Lake Winnipeg. The timing and location of New Iceland was not accidental. Across the Prairies, the Canadian government was creating land reserves for Europeans in the hope that the agricultural development of Indigenous lands would support the state’s economic and political ambitions.

Although women in these decades are often depicted as being trapped in the suburbs, they joined diverse political parties, including the CCF, Social Credit, and the Communist Party of Canada. Thorn argues, controversially, that while women on the “left” and “right” had different goals, their activism continued to be informed by maternalism. They used their roles as wives and mothers to influence their parties’ positions and to break down barriers. Along the way, they laid the foundations for the 1960s feminist movement.BRIAN T.

Thorn In 1968, Canadians dared to take a chance on a new kind of politician. Pierre Trudeau became the leader of the Liberal Party in April and two months later won the federal election. His meteoric rise to power was driven by Trudeaumania, an explosive mix of passion and fear fueled by media hype and nationalist ambition. This book traces what happened when the fabled spirit of the sixties met the excitement of the Centennial and Expo 67. Canadians wanted to modernize their nation, differentiate it from the US, and defuse Quebec separatism. Far from being a sixties crazy moment, Trudeaumania was a passionate quest for a new Canada that would define the values of Canadians for decades to come.PAUL LITT is a professor in the Department of History and the School of Indigenous and Canadian Studies at Carleton University in Ottawa.

Yet, publicly admitting to this fear would have gone counter to Victorian notions of racial superiority. In this fascinating book, Kenton Storey challenges the idea that a series of colonial crises in the mid-nineteenth century led to a decline in the popularity of humanitarianism across the British Empire. Instead, he demonstrates how colonial newspapers in New Zealand and on Vancouver Island appropriated humanitarian language as a means of justifying the expansion of settlers’ access to land, promoting racial segregation and allaying fears of potential Indigenous resistance.KENTON STOREY is a historian of the British Empire and a legal researcher working in the field of First Nations history.RECENTLY RELEASED EApril 2016312 pages, 6 x 9"4 figures, 6 maps978-0-7748-2947-2 HC $65.00978-0-7748-2949-6 LIBRARY E-BOOKBritish Empire History, Indigenous StudiesSettler Anxiety at the Outposts of EmpireColonial Relations, Humanitarian Discourses, and the Imperial PressKenton Storey 8 | spring 2017 CANADIAN HISTORYCANADIAN HISTORYCANADIAN HISTORYBritish Columbia is at the forefront of a secularizing movement in the English-speaking world.

Challenging the idea that the automobile offered travellers the freedom of the road and a view of unadulterated nature, Bradley shows that boosters, businessmen, conservationists, and public servants manipulated what drivers and passengers could and should view from the comfort of their vehicles.

Soldiers began solving the problems posed by trench warfare. The dominions asserted themselves in the councils of imperial power. And the US finally entered the war. This book examines the British imperial war effort during the most pivotal and dynamic twelve months of the war. Written by internationally recognized historians, its chapters explore military, diplomatic, and domestic aspects of how the empire prosecuted the war.

Their struggle to secure a place at their brothers’ bedsides reveals much about the tensions surrounding amateur and professional nurses and women’s evolving role outside the home.LINDA J.

Unbuilt Environments argues that these kinds of projects have lasting impacts on the natural and human environment – even when they fail. Jonathan Peyton examines a range of archival materials in five case studies. Looking at a closed asbestos mine, an abandoned rail grade, an imagined series of hydroelectric installations, a failed LNG export facility, and a transmission line, Peyton finds that past development failures continue to shape contemporary resource conflicts in the region.JONATHAN PEYTON is an assistant professor in the Department of Environment and Geography at the University of Manitoba.RECENTLY RELEASED ENovember 2016276 pages, 6 x 9"12 photographs, 5 maps, 2 charts, 2 tables978-0-7748-3304-2 HC $95.00978-0-7748-3306-6 LIBRARY E-BOOKEnvironmental History, BC Geography, Resource Management, Geography, Canadian HistoryNature | History | Society SeriesUnbuilt EnvironmentsTracing Postwar Development in Northwest British ColumbiaJonathan Peyton Zombie Army tells the story of Canada’s Second World War military conscripts – reluctant soldiers pejoratively referred to as “zombies” for their perceived similarity to the mindless movie monsters of the 1930s. In the first full-length book on the subject in almost forty years, Byers combines underused and newly discovered records to argue that although conscripts were only liable for home defence, they soon became a steady source of recruits from which the army found volunteers to serve overseas.

The Canadians suffered some 5,400 casualties and in three harrowing days defeated twenty-one German counterattacks. This spectacularly successful but shockingly costly battle was as innovative as Vimy, yet few Canadians have heard of it or of subsequent attempts to capture Lens, which resulted in nearly 3,300 more casualties. Capturing Hill 70 marks the centenary of this triumph by dissecting different facets of the battle, from planning and conducting operations to long-term repercussions and commemoration. It reinstates Hill 70 to its rightful place among the pantheon of battles that forged the reputation of the famed Canadian Corps during the First World War.DOUGLAS E.

Julia Christensen documents the rise of Indigenous homelessness and proposes solutions by interweaving analysis of the region’s unique history with personal narratives of homeless men and women in two cities – Yellowknife and Inuvik. What emerges is a larger story of displacement and intergenerational trauma, hope and renewal. Understanding what it means to be homeless in the North and how Indigenous people think about home and homemaking is the first step, Christensen argues, on the path to decolonizing existing approaches and practices.

Everyday Exposure uncovers the systemic injustices they face as they fight for environmental justice. Exploring the problems that conflicting levels of jurisdiction pose for the creation of effective policy, analyzing clashes between Indigenous and scientific knowledge, and documenting the experiences of Aamjiwnaang residents as they navigate their toxic environment, this book argues that social and political change requires a transformative “sensing policy” approach, one that takes the voices of Indigenous citizens seriously.SARAH MARIE WIEBE is a SSHRC postdoctoral fellow and assistant teaching professor at the University of Victoria.NEW IN PAPERBACK EApril 2017280 pages, 6 x 9"3 photo essays, 1 map, 3 tables978-0-7748-3264-9 PB $32.95978-0-7748-3263-2 HC $95.00978-0-7748-3265-6 LIBRARY E-BOOKIndigenous Studies, Environmental Politics, HealthEveryday ExposureIndigenous Mobilization and Environmental Justice in Canada’s Chemical ValleySarah Marie Wiebe As environmental deterioration became a major social and political issue near the end of the twentieth century, activists in Nova Scotia stood together to defend the places they called home.

Although the contradictions that lie at the heart of multicultural nationalism have the potential to constrain political engagement and dialogue, the sensory feasts on display in Canada’s museums provide a space for citizens to both question and renegotiate the limits of their national vision.CAITLIN GORDON-WALKER is an inter-disciplinary scholar who studies the politics of public cultural representation in relation to nationalism, colonialism, and difference.RECENTLY RELEASED EOctober 2016236 pages, 6 x 9"13 illustrations978-0-7748-3163-5 HC $95.00978-0-7748-3165-9 LIBRARY E-BOOKMuseum Studies, Multiculturalism & TransnationalismExhibiting NationMulticultural Nationalism (and Its Limits) in Canada’s MuseumsCaitlin Gordon-Walker Across Canada, teachers unfamiliar with Aboriginal approaches to learning are seeking ways to respectfully weave Aboriginal content into their lessons. This book introduces an indigenist approach to education. It recounts how pre-service teachers immersed in a crosscultural course in British Columbia began to practise Indigenous ways of knowing. Working alongside Indigenous wisdom keepers, they transformed earth fibres into a mural and, in the process, their own ideas about learning and teaching. By revealing how they worked to integrate Indigenous ways of knowing into their practice, this book opens a path for teachers to nurture indigenist crosscultural understanding in their classrooms.MICHELE T.D.

But there is more to the story. Resilient Gods takes an in-depth look at the religious landscape today. The picture that emerges is not one of religious decline but rather of polarization, with the numbers of “pro-” “no,” and “low” religious in flux. Using the most current information available, Bibby explores the implications of religious choices for personal and social well-being, spirituality, and attitudes towards death. The questions he asks are compelling and the answers thought-provoking whether one embraces the gods or not.REGINALD W.

Bibby The university is often regarded as a bastion of liberal democracy where equity and diversity are promoted and racism doesn’t exist. In reality, the university still excludes many people and is a site of racialization that is subtle, complex, and sophisticated. While some studies do point to the persistence of systemic barriers to equity in higher education, in-depth analyses of racism, racialization, and Indigeneity in the academy are more notable for excluding racialized and Indigenous professors. This book is the first comprehensive, data-based study of racialized and Indigenous faculty members’ experiences in Canadian universities. Challenging the myth of equity in higher education, it brings together leading scholars who scrutinize what universities have done and question the effectiveness of their equity programs. They draw on a rich body of survey data, interviews, and analysis of universities’ stated policies to examine the experiences of racialized faculty members across Canada who – despite diversity initiatives in their respective institutions – have yet to see meaningful changes in everyday working conditions. They also make important recommendations as to how universities can address racialization and fulfill the promise of equity in higher education.FRANCES HENRY, FRSC, is a professor emerita of anthropology at York University.

Its authors investigate how the beliefs and practices that normatively regulate and legitimize the distribution of wealth, power, and status in a society – moral economies – are being challenged in identity-based communities in ways that precipitate or exacerbate conflicts. The combination of theoretical chapters and case studies ranging from Africa and Asia to North America provides compelling evidence for the value of moral economy analysis in understanding problems associated with ethnic and nationalist mobilization and conflict.BRUCE J.

This book takes a hard look at just how much influence faith continues to have in federal, provincial, and territorial arenas. Drawing on case studies from across the country, it explores three important axes of religiously based contention – Protestant vs. Catholic, conservative vs. reformer, and, more recently, minority religious practices. Although the extent of partisan engagement with each of these sources of conflict has varied across time and region, the authors show that religion still matters in shaping political oppositions. These themes are illuminated by comparisons to the role faith plays in the politics of other western industrialized societies.DAVID RAYSIDE is a professor emeritus of political science and sexual diversity studies at the University of Toronto.

Ministers, MPs, and candidates parrot the same catchphrases. The public service has become politicized. And decision making is increasingly centralized in the Prime Minister’s Office. What is happening to our democracy? To get to the bottom of this, Alex Marland reviewed internal political party files, media reports, and documents obtained through access to information requests, and interviewed Ottawa insiders. He discovered that in the face of rapid changes in communication technology, the infusion of corporate marketing strategies has instilled a culture of centralized political control.

This book contradicts this view by demonstrating how prime ministerial power was centralized from the very beginning of Confederation and that the first three important prime ministers – Macdonald, Laurier, and Borden – channelled that centralizing impulse to adapt to the circumstances they faced. Using a variety of innovative approaches, Patrice Dutil focuses on the managerial philosophies of each of the prime ministers. He shows that by securing a firm grip on the instruments of governance these early first ministers inevitably shaped the administrations they headed, as well as those that followed.PATRICE DUTIL is a professor of politics and public administration at Ryerson University.NEW RELEASE EApril 2017336 pages, 6 x 9"2 photos, 11 graphs, 31 tables978-0-7748-3473-5 HC $89.95978-0-7748-3475-9 LIBRARY E-BOOKPolitical History, Canadian History, Canadian Public Policy & AdministrationThe C.D.

Contemporary Slavery interrogates these “facts” and the widespread presumptions that human trafficking and contemporary slavery are either a singular global cause or that slavery itself is a unique evil standing apart from “lesser” human-rights challenges. Looking beyond the popular rhetoric to provide a more nuanced analysis, the authors seek to distinguish slavery from the related yet distinct concepts such as trafficking, forced labour, and forced marriage.ANNIE BUNTING is an associate professor of law and society at York University and deputy director of the Harriet Tubman Institute on Research on Africa and its Diasporas.

In it, Canada’s reputation is examined through its involvement in a number of contentious human rights issues – political, civil, racial, women’s, and Indigenous. An in-depth historical overview of six decades of Canadian engagement within the UN human rights system, this book offers new insights into the nuances, complexities, and contradictions of Canada’s human rights policies.ANDREW S.

Less well documented is the founding role that accusation plays in creating potential criminals. In an attempt at redress, this collection foregrounds how ideas and rituals of accusation initiate criminalization processes. It offers various perspectives on the mechanisms by which legal persons come to be identified as suitable subjects for criminal justice arenas. By analyzing how criminal accusation operates in theoretical, historical, socio-legal, criminological, political, cultural, and procedural realms, this book launches an important new field of inquiry.GEORGE PAVLICH is Canada Research Chair in Social Theory, Culture, and Law and a professor of law and sociology at the University of Alberta.

Māori author and legal scholar Carwyn Jones provides a timely examination of how the resolution of land claims in New Zealand has affected Māori law and the challenges faced by Indigenous peoples as they attempt to exercise self-determination in a postcolonial world. Combining thoughtful analysis with Māori storytelling, Jones’s nuanced reflections on the claims process show how Western legal thought has shaped treaty negotiations. Drawing on Canadian and international examples, Jones makes the case that genuine reconciliation can occur only when we recognize the importance of Indigenous traditions in the settlement process.CARWYN JONES is a senior lecturer in the Faculty of Law at Victoria University of Wellington.NEW IN PAPERBACK EFebruary 2017232 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-3169-7 PB $34.95978-0-7748-3168-0 HC $95.00978-0-7748-3170-3 LIBRARY E-BOOKIndigenous Legal Studies, Aboriginal History, British Empire HistoryNew Treaty, New TraditionReconciling New Zealand and Māori LawCarwyn JonesIn 1982, Canada formally recognized Aboriginal rights within its Constitution. The move reflected a consensus that states should and could use group rights to protect and accommodate subnational groups within their borders. Decades later, however, no one is happy. This state of affairs, Panagos argues, is rooted in a failure to define what aboriginality means, which has led to the promotion and protection of a single vision of aboriginality – that of the justices of the Supreme Court. He concludes that there can be no justice so long as the state continues to safeguard a set of values and interests defined by non-Aboriginal people.DIMITRIOS PANAGOS is an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at Memorial University.NEW IN PAPERBACK EApril 2017176 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-3239-7 PB $27.95978-0-7748-3238-0 HC $85.00978-0-7748-3240-3 LIBRARY E-BOOKIndigenous Legal Studies, Constitutional Law, Law & Politics, Political ScienceLaw and Society SeriesUncertain AccommodationAboriginal Identity and Group Rights in the Supreme Court of CanadaDimitrios Panagos 22 | spring 2017 LEGAL HISTORYLAWLAWLawyers’ EmpireLegal Professions and Cultural Authority, 1780–1950W. Wesley PueAdvances in agricultural genomics could help address pressing global issues such as world hunger. However, overlapping and inconsistent intellectual property and biosafety regimes – collectively referred to as the “Intellectual Property–Regulatory Complex” – create significant, and often conflicting, barriers to developing and commercializing new agricultural biotechnology. The authors of this collection explore how this Complex impacts innovation in ways that cannot be appreciated when individual regimes are examined in isolation. They then propose solutions that would meet the objectives of the current intellectual property and biosafety regimes while enabling innovation in the field of agricultural genomics.EMILY MARDEN is counsel at Sidley Austin LLP in the food and drug regulatory practice in Palo Alto, California, and research associate in law and genomics at the University of British Columbia.

Drawing on discourse analysis, semiotics, and critical psychoanalysis, Allyson M.

In so doing, Lunny reveals and interrogates the meaning and social signification of the endorsement of, and resistance to, hate law.

Focusing mainly on collaborative studies of thirty-one landscape regions – designated as “Biosphere Reserves” by UNESCO or as “Model Forests” by the Canadian Forest Service – Francis also summarizes smaller sustainability projects across the country.

The increasing diversity among prisoners raises important questions about how we punish those who break the law. Parole in Canada is the first book to explore how concerns about Aboriginality, gender, and the multicultural ideal of “diversity” have been interpreted and used to alter parole policy and practice. Using the Parole Board of Canada as a case study, this book shows how some offender differences are selectively included in conditional release decision making, while the structures, practices, and power arrangements that would enable fundamental change remain unaltered.SARAH TURNBULL is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Centre for Criminology at the University of Oxford.

Yet, relatively little is understood about what happens to salmonids in the estuaries where they make this transition from fresh to salt water. This book distills the current knowledge of how eighteen salmonid species around the world (including salmon, steelhead, char, and trout) are adapted to estuaries. It discusses why the waters where rivers and oceans meet are critical to salmonid survival and how these vital habitats can be preserved and recovered.COLIN D.

Official histories depict the Amur as a distant battleground caught between rival empires.

Drawing on interviews with forty-one staff, clients, volunteers, and activists, Shelter in a Storm exposes the dangers for women that are embedded in neoliberal policies and reveals the value of revitalizing feminism to counteract this powerful ideology.CASEY READY is an executive director of a non-profit agency, an assistant professor (status only) at the University of Toronto, and a research associate at Trent University.NEW IN PAPERBACK EJanuary 2017224 pages, 6 x 9"11 tables978-0-7748-3259-5 PB $29.95978-0-7748-3258-8 HC $95.00978-0-7748-3260-1 LIBRARY E-BOOKFeminist Studies, Health Policy, Canadian Social Policy, Gender & Politics, Sociology & Gender, Social Work26 | spring 2017 PLANNINGWOMEN’S STUDIESPLANNINGShelter in a StormRevitalizing Feminism in Neoliberal OntarioCasey Ready “I was the only woman.” These words appear again and again in the stories of women planners working in Canada from the 1940s to the 1970s.

Founded by Don Purich and Karen Bolstad in 1992, Purich Publishing has been an impressive leader of publishing on Indigenous law, social justice, and Western Canadian issues. Purich books offer unique and important perspectives on identity and nationhood, youth and the law, Indigenous health and education, and social justice. UBC Press’s existing strength in Indigenous Studies and law is complemented by the Purich list, which also brings a broader scope and a more social-activist focus. We believe this addition will push UBC Press to the forefront of this immensely important and intellectually vital publishing area.

Schuster, with a foreword by Margaret Atwood In August 1989, Jane Rule – novelist, essayist, and the first widely recognized “public lesbian” in North America – summed up the first eight years of her correspondence with Rick Bébout, journalist and editor with the Toronto-based Body Politic: “It seems to me that what has concerned us is richly human and significantly focused on the concerns of our time and our tribe.”A Queer Love Story presents the first fifteen years of their correspondence. At turns poignant, scintillating, and incisive, their exchanges include ruminations on queer life and the writing life as they document some of the most pressing LGBT issues and events of the 1980s and ’90s, including HIV/AIDs, censorship, youth sexuality, public sex and S/M, Toronto’s infamous bath raids, and state regulation of identity and desire.Rule lived in a remote rural community on Galiano Island, British Columbia. Bébout was a resident of and devoted to Toronto’s gay village. As writers, Rule and Bébout hoped to nurture a more precise language to articulate gay and lesbian lives. Together, they offer sharp-eyed and unsentimental observations on queer communities and politics.A Queer Love Story showcases not only two incisive minds in intimate dialogue but also, more largely, how members of the queer community worked together to build ties of love and friendship amidst intolerance and outright hostility.MARILYN R.

Mulé This analysis of the relationship between gender and nature proposes that masculinity is a technology that shapes both our engagement with the natural world and how we define freedom. As the complexity of our ecosystems becomes more apparent, the line between nature and culture, human and nonhuman, and technology and bodies becomes less distinct. Yet contemporary masculinity studies has generally failed to incorporate this new way of thinking. Drawing on the work of the Frankfurt School, Heidegger, and new materialist theories, Steve Garlick reassesses the relationship between masculinity, nature, and embodiment to advance a new critical theory of masculinity.STEVE GARLICK is an associate professor of sociology at the University of Victoria.RECENTLY RELEASED EOctober 2016236 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-3329-5 HC $65.00978-0-7748-3331-8 LIBRARY E-BOOKGender & Sexuality, Masculinity Studies, Sociology & GenderSexuality Studies SeriesThe Nature of MasculinityCritical Theory, New Materialisms, and Technologies of EmbodimentSteve Garlick This perceptive intellectual history explores the role of manhood in French Canadian culture and nationalism. In the late nineteenth century, Quebec was still an agrarian society and masculinity was rooted in the land and the family and informed by Catholic principles of piety and self-restraint. As the industrial era took hold, a new model of manhood was forged, built on the values of secularism and individualism. Vacante’s analysis reveals how French Canadian intellectuals defined masculinity in response to imperialist English Canadian ideals. This “national manhood” enabled French Canadian men to participate in a modern, industrial economy while asserting their cultural authority.JEFFERY VACANTE is an assistant professor in the Department of History at the University of Western Ontario.NEW RELEASE EJune 2017288 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-3463-6 HC $89.95978-0-7748-3465-0 LIBRARY E-BOOKGender & Sexuality, Masculinity Studies, Canadian HistoryNational Manhood and the Creation of Modern QuebecJeffery Vacanteorder online @ ubcpress.ca | 3 HEALTHWhen patients visit a clinic or hospital, they bring stories of the everyday life conditions that made them sick in the first place – stories about where they work, live, and play; stories about income, food security, and housing.

Health activist, scholar, and cancer survivor Sharon Batt examines the issue by investigating Canada’s breast cancer movement from 1990 to 2010. Health Advocacy, Inc. dissects the relationship between the companies that sell pharmaceuticals and the individuals who use them, drawing links between neoliberalism and corporate financing, and the ensuing threat to the public health care system. Combining archival analysis, interviews with advocacy and industry representatives, and personal observation, Batt argues that the resulting power imbalance continues to challenge the groups’ ability to put patients’ interests ahead of those of the funders. A movement that once encouraged democratic participation in the development of health policy now eerily echoes the demands of the pharmaceutical industry.

The Deindustrialized World interrogates the process of industrial ruination, from the first impact of layoffs in metropolitan cities, suburban areas, and single-industry towns to the shock waves that rippled outward, affecting entire regions, countries, and beyond. Scholars from five nations share personal stories of ruin and ruination and ask others what it means to be working class in a postindustrial world. Together, they open a window on the lived experiences of people living at ground zero of deindustrialization, revealing its layered impacts and examining how workers, environmentalists, activists, and the state have responded to its challenges.STEVEN HIGH is a professor of history at Concordia University.

We think of the rogue employee who snaps. But in Blood, Sweat, and Fear, Jeremy Milloy demonstrates that workplace violence never occurs in isolation. Using violence as a lens, he provides fresh and original insights into the everyday workings of capitalism, class conflict, race, and gender in the United States and Canada of the late twentieth century, bringing historical perspective to contemporary debates about North American violence. Milloy has produced the first full-length historical exploration of the origins and effects of individual violence in the automotive industry. His gripping analysis spans 1960 to 1980, when North American auto plants were routinely the sites of fights, assaults, and even murders, and argues that violence resulted primarily from workplace conditions including on-the-job exploitation, racial tension, bureaucratization, and hypermasculinity. This explosive book reveals that workplace violence has been a constant aspect of class conflict – and that our understanding needs to go deeper.JEREMY MILLOY is a SSHRC postdoctoral fellow at the Frost Centre for Canadian and Indigenous Studies at Trent University.Blood, Sweat, and FearViolence at Work in the North American Auto Industry, 1960–80Jeremy MilloyHISTORYNEW RELEASE EApril 2017224 pages, 6 x 9"10 photos, 1 table978-0-7748-3453-7 HC $75.00978-0-7748-3455-1 LIBRARY E-BOOKCanadian and US History, Labour HistoryHISTORYBlood, Sweat, and Fear interrogates a fundamental, yet relatively unexplored, element of rough working-class masculine culture – violence.

As Irish immigration dwindled in the early twentieth century, Irish culture in the city became diasporic, reflecting an imagined homeland. Focusing on the power of memory to shape community, Matthew Barlow finds that, despite sociopolitical pressures and a declining population, the spirit of this ethnic quarter was nurtured by the men and women who grew up there. Today, as Griffintown attracts renewed interest from artists, scholars, and tourists, this textured analysis reveals how public memory defines our urban centres.MATTHEW BARLOW is a public historian based in Tennessee.NEW RELEASE EMay 2017256 pages, 6 x 9"13 photos, 4 maps, 1 table978-0-7748-3433-9 HC $85.00978-0-7748-3435-3 LIBRARY E-BOOKCanadian History, Public History, Ethnicity, Diaspora StudiesShared: Oral and Public History SeriesGriffintownIdentity and Memory in an Irish Diaspora NeighbourhoodMatthew BarlowHow has race shaped Canada’s international encounters and its role in the world? In Dominion of Race, leading scholars in Canadian international relations demonstrate the necessity of placing race at the centre of the narratives of Canadian international history. Destabilizing conventional understandings of Canada in the world, they expose how race thinking has informed priorities and policies, positioned Canada in the international community, and contributed to a global order rooted in racial beliefs. By demonstrating that race is a fundamental component of Canada and its international history, this book calls for reengagement with the histories of those marginalized in, or excluded from, the historical record.LAURA MADOKORO is an assistant professor in the Department of History and Classical Studies at McGill University.

In fact, in the wake of the American Revolution, many Loyalist families brought slaves with them when they settled in the Maritime colonies of British North America. Once there, slaves used their traditions of survival, resistance, and kinship networks to negotiate their new reality. Harvey Amani Whitfield’s book, the first on slavery in the Maritimes, is a startling corrective to the enduring and triumphant narrative of Canada as a land of freedom at the end of the Underground Railroad.HARVEY AMANI WHITFIELD is an associate professor of history at the University of Vermont.RECENTLY RELEASED EFebruary 2016192 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-3228-1 HC $95.00978-0-7748-3229-8 PB $29.95978-0-7748-3230-4 LIBRARY E-BOOKCanadian & US History, Immigration & Emigration, SlaveryNorth to BondageLoyalist Slavery in the MaritimesHarvey Amani WhitfieldIn 1875, Icelandic immigrants established a colony on the southwest shore of Lake Winnipeg. The timing and location of New Iceland was not accidental. Across the Prairies, the Canadian government was creating land reserves for Europeans in the hope that the agricultural development of Indigenous lands would support the state’s economic and political ambitions. In this innovative history, Ryan Eyford expands our understanding of the creation of western Canada: his nuanced account traces the connections between Icelandic colonists, the Indigenous people they displaced, and other settler groups while exposing the ideas and practices integral to building a colonial society.RYAN EYFORD is an associate professor in the Department of History at the University of Winnipeg.NEW IN PAPERBACK EMarch 2017272 pages, 6 x 9"12 b&w photos, 5 maps978-0-7748-3159-8 PB $32.95978-0-7748-3158-1 HC $95.00978-0-7748-3160-4 LIBRARY E-BOOKCanadian Social History, Indigenous Studies, Immigration & EmigrationWhite Settler ReserveNew Iceland and the Colonization of the Canadian WestRyan EyfordIn the early 1900s, panic over the arrival of South Asian immigrants swept up and down the west coast of North America.

Although women in these decades are often depicted as being trapped in the suburbs, they joined diverse political parties, including the CCF, Social Credit, and the Communist Party of Canada. Thorn argues, controversially, that while women on the “left” and “right” had different goals, their activism continued to be informed by maternalism. They used their roles as wives and mothers to influence their parties’ positions and to break down barriers. Along the way, they laid the foundations for the 1960s feminist movement.BRIAN T.

Thorn In 1968, Canadians dared to take a chance on a new kind of politician. Pierre Trudeau became the leader of the Liberal Party in April and two months later won the federal election. His meteoric rise to power was driven by Trudeaumania, an explosive mix of passion and fear fueled by media hype and nationalist ambition. This book traces what happened when the fabled spirit of the sixties met the excitement of the Centennial and Expo 67. Canadians wanted to modernize their nation, differentiate it from the US, and defuse Quebec separatism. Far from being a sixties crazy moment, Trudeaumania was a passionate quest for a new Canada that would define the values of Canadians for decades to come.PAUL LITT is a professor in the Department of History and the School of Indigenous and Canadian Studies at Carleton University in Ottawa.

Yet, publicly admitting to this fear would have gone counter to Victorian notions of racial superiority. In this fascinating book, Kenton Storey challenges the idea that a series of colonial crises in the mid-nineteenth century led to a decline in the popularity of humanitarianism across the British Empire. Instead, he demonstrates how colonial newspapers in New Zealand and on Vancouver Island appropriated humanitarian language as a means of justifying the expansion of settlers’ access to land, promoting racial segregation and allaying fears of potential Indigenous resistance.KENTON STOREY is a historian of the British Empire and a legal researcher working in the field of First Nations history.RECENTLY RELEASED EApril 2016312 pages, 6 x 9"4 figures, 6 maps978-0-7748-2947-2 HC $65.00978-0-7748-2949-6 LIBRARY E-BOOKBritish Empire History, Indigenous StudiesSettler Anxiety at the Outposts of EmpireColonial Relations, Humanitarian Discourses, and the Imperial PressKenton Storey 8 | spring 2017 CANADIAN HISTORYCANADIAN HISTORYCANADIAN HISTORYBritish Columbia is at the forefront of a secularizing movement in the English-speaking world. Nearly half its residents claim no religious affiliation, and the province has the highest rate of unbelief or religious indifference in Canada. Infidels and the Damn Churches explores the historical roots of this phenomenon. Lynne Marks reveals that class and racial tensions fuelled irreligion in frontier BC, a world populated by embattled ministers, militant atheists, turn-of-the-century New Agers, rough-living miners, Asian immigrants, and church-going settlers. This nuanced study of mobility, masculinity, and family in settler BC offers new insights into the beginnings of what has become an increasingly dominant secular worldview across Canada.LYNNE MARKS is an associate professor in the Department of History at the University of Victoria.RECENTLY RELEASED ENovember 2016304 pages, 6 x 9"38 photos, 3 maps, 2 charts978-0-7748-3344-8 HC $95.00978-0-7748-3346-2 LIBRARY E-BOOKCanadian History, BC Studies, Religion & SocietyInfidels and the Damn ChurchesIrreligion and Religion in Settler British ColumbiaLynne Marks In British Columbia by the Road, Ben Bradley takes readers on an unprecedented journey through the history of roads, highways, and motoring in British Columbia’s Interior, a remote landscape composed of plateaus and interlocking valleys, soaring mountains and treacherous passes. Challenging the idea that the automobile offered travellers the freedom of the road and a view of unadulterated nature, Bradley shows that boosters, businessmen, conservationists, and public servants manipulated what drivers and passengers could and should view from the comfort of their vehicles. Although cars and roads promised freedom, they offered drivers a curated view of the landscape that shaped the province’s image in the eyes of residents and visitors alike.BEN BRADLEY is a Grant Notley Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of History and Classics at the University of Alberta.NEW RELEASE EMay 2017400 pages, 6 x 9"54 photos, 2 b&w illus., 3 maps978-0-7748-3418-6 HC $89.95978-0-7748-3420-9 LIBRARY E-BOOKCanadian History, Environmental History, BC Studies, Landscape StudiesBritish Columbia by the RoadCar Culture and the Making of a Modern LandscapeBen Bradley In the 1960s, Canadians could step through time to eighteenth-century trading posts or nineteenth-century pioneer towns. These living history museums promised authentic reconstructions of the past but, as Time Travel shows, they revealed more about mid-twentieth-century interests and perceptions of history than they reflected historical fact. These museums became important components of post-war government economic growth and employment policies. Shaped by political pressures and the need to balance education and entertainment, they reflected Canadians’ struggle to establish a pan-Canadian identity in the context of multiculturalism, competing nationalisms, First Nations resistance, and the growth of the state.ALAN GORDON is a professor of history at the University of Guelph.NEW IN PAPERBACK EJanuary 2017372 pages, 6 x 9"11 b&w photos978-0-7748-3154-3 PB $34.95978-0-7748-3153-6 HC $95.00978-0-7748-3155-0 LIBRARY E-BOOKCanadian Public History, Tourism StudiesTime TravelTourism and the Rise of the Living History Museum in Mid-Twentieth-Century CanadaAlan Gordonorder online @ ubcpress.ca | 9 HISTORYCANADIAN HISTORYHISTORYFor decades, people living in communities along the Canada–US border enjoyed close social and economic relationships with their neighbours across the line. The introduction of new security measures during the First World War threatened this way of life by restricting the movement of people and goods across the border. Many Canadians resented the new regulations introduced by their provincial and federal governments, deriding them as “outside influences” that created friction where none had existed before. Engaging the Line examines responses to wartime regulations in six communities and offers a glimpse at the origins of our modern, highly secured border.BRANDON R.

Soldiers began solving the problems posed by trench warfare. The dominions asserted themselves in the councils of imperial power. And the US finally entered the war. This book examines the British imperial war effort during the most pivotal and dynamic twelve months of the war. Written by internationally recognized historians, its chapters explore military, diplomatic, and domestic aspects of how the empire prosecuted the war.

This book tells the story of the nearly 2,000 women from Canada and Newfoundland who volunteered to “do their bit” overseas and at home. Well-educated and middle-class but largely untrained, VADs were excluded from Canadian military hospitals overseas (the realm of the professional nurse) but helped solve Britain’s nursing deficit. Their struggle to secure a place at their brothers’ bedsides reveals much about the tensions surrounding amateur and professional nurses and women’s evolving role outside the home.LINDA J.

Unbuilt Environments argues that these kinds of projects have lasting impacts on the natural and human environment – even when they fail. Jonathan Peyton examines a range of archival materials in five case studies. Looking at a closed asbestos mine, an abandoned rail grade, an imagined series of hydroelectric installations, a failed LNG export facility, and a transmission line, Peyton finds that past development failures continue to shape contemporary resource conflicts in the region.JONATHAN PEYTON is an assistant professor in the Department of Environment and Geography at the University of Manitoba.RECENTLY RELEASED ENovember 2016276 pages, 6 x 9"12 photographs, 5 maps, 2 charts, 2 tables978-0-7748-3304-2 HC $95.00978-0-7748-3306-6 LIBRARY E-BOOKEnvironmental History, BC Geography, Resource Management, Geography, Canadian HistoryNature | History | Society SeriesUnbuilt EnvironmentsTracing Postwar Development in Northwest British ColumbiaJonathan Peyton Zombie Army tells the story of Canada’s Second World War military conscripts – reluctant soldiers pejoratively referred to as “zombies” for their perceived similarity to the mindless movie monsters of the 1930s.

The Canadians suffered some 5,400 casualties and in three harrowing days defeated twenty-one German counterattacks. This spectacularly successful but shockingly costly battle was as innovative as Vimy, yet few Canadians have heard of it or of subsequent attempts to capture Lens, which resulted in nearly 3,300 more casualties. Capturing Hill 70 marks the centenary of this triumph by dissecting different facets of the battle, from planning and conducting operations to long-term repercussions and commemoration. It reinstates Hill 70 to its rightful place among the pantheon of battles that forged the reputation of the famed Canadian Corps during the First World War.DOUGLAS E.

Julia Christensen documents the rise of Indigenous homelessness and proposes solutions by interweaving analysis of the region’s unique history with personal narratives of homeless men and women in two cities – Yellowknife and Inuvik. What emerges is a larger story of displacement and intergenerational trauma, hope and renewal. Understanding what it means to be homeless in the North and how Indigenous people think about home and homemaking is the first step, Christensen argues, on the path to decolonizing existing approaches and practices.

But there is more to the story. Resilient Gods takes an in-depth look at the religious landscape today. The picture that emerges is not one of religious decline but rather of polarization, with the numbers of “pro-” “no,” and “low” religious in flux. Using the most current information available, Bibby explores the implications of religious choices for personal and social well-being, spirituality, and attitudes towards death. The questions he asks are compelling and the answers thought-provoking whether one embraces the gods or not.REGINALD W.

Bibby The university is often regarded as a bastion of liberal democracy where equity and diversity are promoted and racism doesn’t exist. In reality, the university still excludes many people and is a site of racialization that is subtle, complex, and sophisticated. While some studies do point to the persistence of systemic barriers to equity in higher education, in-depth analyses of racism, racialization, and Indigeneity in the academy are more notable for excluding racialized and Indigenous professors. This book is the first comprehensive, data-based study of racialized and Indigenous faculty members’ experiences in Canadian universities. Challenging the myth of equity in higher education, it brings together leading scholars who scrutinize what universities have done and question the effectiveness of their equity programs. They draw on a rich body of survey data, interviews, and analysis of universities’ stated policies to examine the experiences of racialized faculty members across Canada who – despite diversity initiatives in their respective institutions – have yet to see meaningful changes in everyday working conditions. They also make important recommendations as to how universities can address racialization and fulfill the promise of equity in higher education.FRANCES HENRY, FRSC, is a professor emerita of anthropology at York University.

Its authors investigate how the beliefs and practices that normatively regulate and legitimize the distribution of wealth, power, and status in a society – moral economies – are being challenged in identity-based communities in ways that precipitate or exacerbate conflicts. The combination of theoretical chapters and case studies ranging from Africa and Asia to North America provides compelling evidence for the value of moral economy analysis in understanding problems associated with ethnic and nationalist mobilization and conflict.BRUCE J.

MacArthur Homelessness is not a historical accident. It is the disastrous outcome of policy decisions made over time and at several levels of government. Drawing on network governance theory, extended participant observation, and more than sixty interviews with key policy figures, Carey Doberstein investigates how government and civil-society actors in Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto have organized themselves to solve public problems. He concludes that having a progressive city council is not enough to combat homelessness – civil-society organizations and actors must have genuine access to the channels of government power in order to work with policy makers and implement effective solutions.CAREY DOBERSTEIN is an assistant professor of political science at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan.RECENTLY RELEASED EOctober 2016236 pages, 6 x 9"13 figures, 8 tables978-0-7748-3324-0 HC $95.00978-0-7748-3326-4 LIBRARY E-BOOKCanadian Public Policy & Administration, Canadian Social Policy, Canadian Urban & Regional Politics, SociologyBuilding a Collaborative AdvantageNetwork Governance and Homelessness Policy-Making in CanadaCarey Doberstein 18 | spring 2017 POLITICAL SCIENCEPOLITICAL SCIENCEPOLITICAL SCIENCEReligion is usually thought inconsequential to contemporary Canadian politics. This book takes a hard look at just how much influence faith continues to have in federal, provincial, and territorial arenas. Drawing on case studies from across the country, it explores three important axes of religiously based contention – Protestant vs. Catholic, conservative vs. reformer, and, more recently, minority religious practices. Although the extent of partisan engagement with each of these sources of conflict has varied across time and region, the authors show that religion still matters in shaping political oppositions. These themes are illuminated by comparisons to the role faith plays in the politics of other western industrialized societies.DAVID RAYSIDE is a professor emeritus of political science and sexual diversity studies at the University of Toronto.

Ministers, MPs, and candidates parrot the same catchphrases. The public service has become politicized. And decision making is increasingly centralized in the Prime Minister’s Office. What is happening to our democracy? To get to the bottom of this, Alex Marland reviewed internal political party files, media reports, and documents obtained through access to information requests, and interviewed Ottawa insiders. He discovered that in the face of rapid changes in communication technology, the infusion of corporate marketing strategies has instilled a culture of centralized political control. At the core of the strategy is brand control; at stake is democracy as we know it.ALEX MARLAND is an associate professor of political science and an associate dean at Memorial University of Newfoundland.

Now that the mission in Afghanistan is over, what issues should shape Canada’s international security agenda? This collection of essays, written by leading observers of Canadian policy, seeks to answer this question by investigating how Canada will likely respond to new threats and security challenges in light of the experience gained in Afghanistan.

This book contradicts this view by demonstrating how prime ministerial power was centralized from the very beginning of Confederation and that the first three important prime ministers – Macdonald, Laurier, and Borden – channelled that centralizing impulse to adapt to the circumstances they faced. Using a variety of innovative approaches, Patrice Dutil focuses on the managerial philosophies of each of the prime ministers. He shows that by securing a firm grip on the instruments of governance these early first ministers inevitably shaped the administrations they headed, as well as those that followed.PATRICE DUTIL is a professor of politics and public administration at Ryerson University.NEW RELEASE EApril 2017336 pages, 6 x 9"2 photos, 11 graphs, 31 tables978-0-7748-3473-5 HC $89.95978-0-7748-3475-9 LIBRARY E-BOOKPolitical History, Canadian History, Canadian Public Policy & AdministrationThe C.D.

The move reflected a consensus that states should and could use group rights to protect and accommodate subnational groups within their borders. Decades later, however, no one is happy. This state of affairs, Panagos argues, is rooted in a failure to define what aboriginality means, which has led to the promotion and protection of a single vision of aboriginality – that of the justices of the Supreme Court.

However, overlapping and inconsistent intellectual property and biosafety regimes – collectively referred to as the “Intellectual Property–Regulatory Complex” – create significant, and often conflicting, barriers to developing and commercializing new agricultural biotechnology. The authors of this collection explore how this Complex impacts innovation in ways that cannot be appreciated when individual regimes are examined in isolation. They then propose solutions that would meet the objectives of the current intellectual property and biosafety regimes while enabling innovation in the field of agricultural genomics.EMILY MARDEN is counsel at Sidley Austin LLP in the food and drug regulatory practice in Palo Alto, California, and research associate in law and genomics at the University of British Columbia.

The increasing diversity among prisoners raises important questions about how we punish those who break the law. Parole in Canada is the first book to explore how concerns about Aboriginality, gender, and the multicultural ideal of “diversity” have been interpreted and used to alter parole policy and practice. Using the Parole Board of Canada as a case study, this book shows how some offender differences are selectively included in conditional release decision making, while the structures, practices, and power arrangements that would enable fundamental change remain unaltered.SARAH TURNBULL is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Centre for Criminology at the University of Oxford.

Yet, relatively little is understood about what happens to salmonids in the estuaries where they make this transition from fresh to salt water.

The artists, activists, and scholars in Mobilizing Metaphor reveal how their work is distinctive as both art and social action, and how disability activism is as varied as the population it represents. Sketching the shifting contours of Canadian disability politics, the authors challenge perceptions of disability and the politics that surround it, leading us to re-examine how we define oppression and how we enact change.CHRISTINE KELLY is an assistant professor in the Department of Community Health Sciences at the University of Manitoba.

Founded by Don Purich and Karen Bolstad in 1992, Purich Publishing has been an impressive leader of publishing on Indigenous law, social justice, and Western Canadian issues. Purich books offer unique and important perspectives on identity and nationhood, youth and the law, Indigenous health and education, and social justice. UBC Press’s existing strength in Indigenous Studies and law is complemented by the Purich list, which also brings a broader scope and a more social-activist focus. We believe this addition will push UBC Press to the forefront of this immensely important and intellectually vital publishing area. The image on the front of the catalogue is titled Bi-go-ima nemi — She Dances Anywhere, and is a painting by Linus Woods that graces the cover of Purich author Aimée Craft’s book Breathing Life into the Stone Fort Treaty: An Anishinabe Understanding of Treaty One.A SERENDIPITOUS PARTNERSHIP SPRING 2017featuring trade selections from our publishing partnersCONTENTSNew Releases 1–12More New Titles 13–16Recent Releases 17–21New Scholarly Paperbacks from UBC Press 22Backlist Highlights 23–24Ordering Information inside back cover BOOKS BY SUBJECTArt 5Biography & Memoir 7-8Children's 10-12Fiction 9Food 5-6Gender 3Health 5-7Indigenous Studies 2Literary Letters 1Nature & Environment 2, 4-5Parenting 10Politics 2-3Race 4Religion & Spirituality 3Space 5Sports 4Writing 8University of British Columbia PressTITLE INDEXAccidental Gravity 4All Birds Have Anxiety 6All They Will Call You 9An Uncertain Ally 2Can I tell you about Gender Diversity? 10Crafting Secular Ritual 3Everyday Exposure 2Freefall into Fiction 8Go Yogi! 12Golden Vanity, The 9Health Advocacy, Inc. 1I Can Beat Obesity! 6Intriguing Life and Ignominious Death of Maurice Benyovszky, The 7Long Stories Cut Short 9Mars 5Minnie and Max are OK 11Muslim Identity in a Turbulent Age 3My Decade at Old Sun, My Lifetime of Hell 7My Life, by Louis Kenoyer 8Natural Defense 6Nature's Allies 4No One Eats Alone 5Okay Kevin 11Ollie and the Magic Workshop 11Playing While White 4Queer Love Story, A 1Starving the Exam Stress Gremlin 12Sulky, Rowdy, Rude 10Trans Voices 3Unlikely Alliances 2Up Here 5We're All Mad Here 7Who Are You? 10Writing without a Parachute 8UBC Press acknowledges the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Canada Book Fund; the Canada Council for the Arts; the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences through the Awards to Scholarly Publications Program; the Province of British Columbia through the British Columbia Arts Council; and the University of British Columbia.order online ubcpress.ca 1 new releasesHEALTHLITERARY LETTERS A Queer Love StoryThe Letters of Jane Rule and Rick BéboutEdited by Marilyn R. Schuster; Foreword by Margaret AtwoodIn August 1989, Jane Rule – novelist, essayist, and the first widely recognized “public lesbian” in North America – summed up the first eight years of her correspondence with Rick Bébout, journalist and editor with the Toronto-based Body Politic: “It seems to me that what has concerned us is richly human and significantly focused on the concerns of our time and our tribe.” A Queer Love Story presents the first fifteen years of their correspondence. At turns poignant, scintillating, and incisive, their exchanges include ruminations on queer life and the writing life as they document some of the most pressing LGBT issues and events of the 1980s and ’90s. Together, they offer sharp-eyed and unsentimental observations on queer communities and politics.MARILYN R. SCHUSTER was the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Smith College and is the author of Passionate Communities: Reading Lesbian Resistance in Jane Rule’s Fiction.Health activist, scholar, award-winning journalist, and cancer survivor Sharon Batt investigates the relationship between patient advocacy groups and the pharmaceutical industry, as well as the contentious role of pharma funding. Over the past several decades, a gradual reduction in state funding has pressured patient groups into forming private-sector partnerships. This analysis of Canada’s breast cancer movement from 1990 to 2010 argues that the resulting power imbalance undermined the groups’ ability to put patients’ interests ahead of those of the funders. A movement that once encouraged democratic participation in the development of health policy now eerily echoes the demands of the pharmaceutical industry.SHARON BATT is a breast cancer survivor and she co-foundered Breast Cancer Action Québec in 1991. She is also a founding member of Canada’s first feminist magazine, the Edmonton-based Branching Out. Her documentary on cancer for CBC Radio’s Ideas won the Major Armstrong award; her book Patient No More: The Politics of Breast Cancer won the Laura Jamieson Award for feminist non-fiction.

The evolving friendship between these unlikely correspondents – the older lesbian writer and the younger gay editor and activist – is indeed a love story. But their love is about something much larger than themselves. Jane and Rick’s running analysis of the sea changes occurring in queer life, from the radical seventies, through the AIDS-devastated eighties, to the assimilationist nineties, is incisive, deeply considered and, above all, engaged. — Alison Bechdel, cartoonist and author of Fun Home“Jane and Rick were two brave souls. They tried the ice, they moved the markers, they ducked the shots. They were also two brave souls who could write – charmingly, intricately, intimately, persuasively ...

It argues that under the rule of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey has become a dictatorship that undermines secularism and promotes the Islamist agenda. This has led to a worsening in the state of human rights, to limited freedom of expression and of the press, and to war against the Kurdish people. Turkey has always been a country of great geopolitical importance, but can it be considered stable? Did Erdogan create an ally or an enemy for the Western world? DAVID L.

PhillipsAs Native nations have asserted their treaty rights and sovereignty, they have confronted a “white backlash” from their neighbors, fearful of losing control over the land and natural resources. Farmers, ranchers, and fishers have at times been in deep conflict with Native peoples over treaty resources such as fish and water. Yet faced with outside threats to their common environment, such as a mine, dam, bombing range, coal train, or oil pipeline development, some communities have unexpectedly joined forces to protect the same resources they previously fought over. This suggests that a deep love of place can overcome the bitterest divides between Indigenous and non-Indigenous neighbours, however this can only come about though challenging white privilege and upholding tribal sovereignty.ZOLTÁN GROSSMAN is a professor of geography and Native studies at The Evergreen State College.

Everyday Exposure uncovers the systemic injustices they face as they fight for environmental justice. Exploring the problems that conflicting levels of jurisdiction pose for the creation of effective policy, analyzing clashes between Indigenous and scientific knowledge, and documenting the experiences of Aamjiwnaang residents as they navigate their toxic environment, this book argues that social and political change requires a transformative approach that takes the voices of Indigenous citizens seriously.SARAH MARIE WIEBE is an assistant teaching professor at the University of Victoria.

Nielsen’s vivid biographies of John Muir, Aldo Leopold, Rachel Carson, Billy Frank Jr., Ding Darling, Chico Mendes, Wangari Maathai, and Gro Harlem Brundtland are meant to rally a new generation of conservationists to follow in their footsteps, and inspire new generations of students, conservationists, and nature lovers to speak up for nature and prove that individuals can affect positive change in the world.LARRY A.

The essays are informative, but the focus is personal. The author writes about urban and suburban places as well as wild lands. In the first section of the book, he focuses on suburban neighborhoods, “the places where tensions between human and animal nature, and between differing concepts of the natural world, come to the fore.” In the second section, he juxtaposes these humanized places with Yellowstone National Park, in the context of climate change and other contemporary pressures. This is nature writing at its finest.BERNARD QUETCHENBACH is a professor of English at Montana State University Billings. His most recent book is The Hermit’s Place, a poetry collection.

The Arctic, part of the international North that is pivotal to the world because of climate change, is no longer a frontier of the past. The same interest in the North that preoccupied artists and explorers of the Romantic era has returned greater than ever, but rather than merely depicting its grandeur, today's artists, scientists, and explorers question the future of the landscape. Up Here connects art, science, and environment at a time when unprecedented climate change requires unprecedented innovation. The contributors explore the ideas of “wilderness” and “remoteness,” the lessons to be learned from cold places and Indigenous knowledge, and how the Arctic is a signal for global change.JULIE DECKER is the director and CEO at the Anchorage Museum.

While human and agricultural health are rarely considered together, both are based on the same ecology, and both are being threatened by organisms that have evolved to resist our antibiotics and pesticides. Fortunately scientists are finding new solutions that work with, rather than against, nature. There are viruses that bust apart bacteria; insect pheromones that throw crop destroying moths into a misguided sexual frenzy; plant genes edited to protect against disease; and a resurgence of the ancient practice of fecal transplants.
