Sophisticated and highly readable, it is sure to become a foundational text.”—CLAUDE BAILLARGEON, professor, Department of Art and Art History, Oakland UniversityPhotographs link the nuclear past and nuclear present, shaping the public’s perception of events. What can they reveal about Canada’s nuclear footprint?The Bomb in the Wilderness contends that photography is central to how we have represented, interpreted, and remembered nuclear activities since 1945. During the Second World War, Canada was a member of the Manhattan Project, the consortium that developed the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. The impact and global reach of Canada’s nuclear programs has been felt ever since. But do photographs alert viewers to nuclear threat, numb them to its dangers, or by some strange calculus accomplish both?John O’Brian’s wide-ranging and personal account of the nuclear era presents and discusses more than a hundred photographs, ranging from military images to the atomic ephemera of consumer culture. We need this fascinating analysis, to ensure that we do not look away.OCTOBER 2020230 pages, 7.5 x 10 in., 119 photos, 20 in colour 978-0-7748-6388-9 PB $32.95 978-0-7748-6389-6 LIBRARY E-BOOK ART HISTORY / CANADIAN HISTORY / CULTURAL STUDIESSERIES: Brenda and David McLean Canadian Studies SeriesJOHN O’BRIAN is an art historian, writer, and curator.

NicandriCaptain Cook Rediscovered is the first modern study to orient Captain James Cook’s career from a North American vantage. Although Cook is inextricably linked to the South Pacific in the popular imagination, his crowning navigational and scientific achievements took place in the polar regions. Recognizing that Cook sailed more miles in the high latitudes of all of the world’s oceans than in the tropical zone, this book gives due attention to his voyages in seas and lands usually neglected. David Nicandri acknowledges the cartographic accomplishments of the Australasian first voyage but focuses on the second- and third-voyage discovery missions near the poles, where Cook pioneered the science of iceberg and icepack formation. This groundbreaking book upturns an area of study that has been typically dominated by the “palm-tree paradigm” – resulting in a truly modern appraisal of Cook for the climate change era.SEPTEMBER 2020400 pages, 6 x 9 in., 31 b&w photos978-0-7748-6222-6 HC $45.00978-0-7748-6224-0 LIBRARY E-BOOKHISTORY / EXPLORATION & DISCOVERY / ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY / BRITISH EMPIRE STUDIES DAVID L.

This is a major contribution to our understanding of the realities of Canadian political life.”—PAUL THOMAS, professor emeritus, Department of Political Studies, University of ManitobaCanadians often see politicians as trained seals who vote on command and repeat robotic talking points. Politicians are torn by dilemmas of loyalty to party versus loyalty to voters. The reality is more complex, especially in a world where a public slip-up can spell the end of a political career.Whipped: Party Discipline in Canada examines the hidden ways that political parties exert control over elected members of Canadian legislatures. Drawing on extensive interviews with politicians and staffers across the country, award-winning author Alex Marland explains why Members of Parliament and provincial politicians toe the party line. He explores the phenomenon of politicians as brand ambassadors, the role of the party whip, and the inner workings of legislatures. He recounts stories from Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s drive for caucus cohesion in the 1980s through to the turmoil that the SNC-Lavalin crisis wrought on Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party in 2019. From caucus meetings to vote instructions, Marland exposes how democracy works in our age of instant communication and increasing polarization. This book conclusively demonstrates that party loyalty usually wins out in Canada.SEPTEMBER 2020370 pages, 6 x 9 in., 6 b&w photos, 8 tables, 1 chart978-0-7748-6496-1 HC $39.95978-0-7748-6498-5 LIBRARY E-BOOKCANADIAN POLITICS SERIES: Communication, Strategy, and PoliticsALEX MARLAND is a professor of political science at Memorial University of Newfoundland and a member of the College of the Royal Society of Canada.

Big Promises, Small Government reveals the consequences of dramatic tax policy changes on social programs, arguing for more sustainable taxation. Despite sharply declining economic indices, the new premier expected that lower taxes would spur investment and growth, essentially paying for themselves. Instead, the precipitous and ideological decision to cut taxes and exempt health and education – some 70 percent of the provincial budget – from any decrease in expenditures left smaller ministries scrambling to absorb the cuts to maintain a balanced budget. The damage was significant. This insider recounting of the real-world genesis, implementation, and consequences of a tax policy offers vital lessons to future governments and considerable insight into the role of taxes in society.SEPTEMBER 2020192 pages, 6 x 9 in., 6 tables978-0-7748-6487-9 PB $32.95 978-0-7748-6488-6 LIBRARY E-BOOKPOLITICS / POLITICAL HISTORY / PUBLIC POLICYGEORGE ABBOTT is a public policy consultant and president of Circle Square Solutions Ltd. in Victoria, British Columbia.

Sound familiar? This myth about aging, along with twenty-eight others, is the focus of Getting Wise about Getting Old, which paints a far more accurate and nuanced portrait of old age. In it, experts debunk persistent stereotypes about aging on a broad array of social issues – from retirement (seniors are low-performance workers) to housing (most older adults live in long-term care accommodation), and from sexuality (senior women are not victims of sexual assault) to social participation (seniors are conservative and resistant to change) – deconstructing and countering them with the latest findings.

The experimental organization of the book and unorthodox style of many of the contributions are a welcome intervention.”—CRAIG WILLSE, author of The Value of HomelessnessDigital technologies have changed the world, transforming how, where, and when we communicate, love, learn, create, produce, distribute, and consume. Digital Lives in the Global City examines the entanglements of urban life, investigating how urban land, governance, and the economy are being remade by advancing communication technologies. Digital infrastructures connect people and places across vast distances, yet they also extend the working day into personal time and space, increase the power of financial institutions, and enhance state and corporate surveillance capacities.Digital Lives in the Global City intersperses critical scholarship with provocative short works from artists, activists, and citizens to engage with a wide range of issues wrought by digital infrastructure: struggles over unsafe and illegal buildings in Mumbai, the conditions of migrant work in Singapore, the question of digital debt in Toronto, and targeted policing in New York.

A Bounded Land combines the realities of colonial daily life with an attention to international imperial strategies and economic forces. As Canada grapples with reconciliation, this beautifully written book gives important insight into Canada’s retrenched colonial nature.”—ANNE GODLEWSKA, professor of geography and planning, Queen’s UniversityCanada is a country of bounded spaces – a nation situated between rock and cold to the north and a political border to the south. In A Bounded Land, Cole Harris seeks answers to a sweeping question: How was society reorganized – for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people alike – when Europeans resettled this distinctive land?Through a series of vignettes that focus on people’s experiences on the ground, Harris exposes the underlying architecture of settler colonialism as it grew and evolved, from the first glimpses of new lands and peoples, to the immigrant experience in early Canada, to the dispossession and resettlement of First Nations in British Columbia.By considering the whole territory that became Canada over 500 years and focusing on sites of colonial domination rather than settler texts, Harris unearths fresh insights on the continuing and growing influence of Indigenous Peoples and argues that Canada’s boundedness is ultimately drawing the country toward its Indigenous roots.OCTOBER 2020304 pages, 6 x 9 in., 4 b&w photos, 14 maps, 3 tables978-0-7748-6441-1 HC $39.95978-0-7748-6443-5 LIBRARY E-BOOKCANADIAN HISTORY / HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHYCOLE HARRIS, for years a student of immigrant societies in early Canada and of their relations with Indigenous Peoples, is the editor of the first volume of the Historical Atlas of Canada and the author, among other works, of Making Native Space: Colonialism, Resistance, and Reserves in British Columbia and The Reluctant Land: Society, Space, and Environment in Canada before Confederation.

Having no legal rights herself to the sheep station in Wimmera, Victoria, that her late husband owned, she had great hopes that her sons would inherit it. But that was not to be. Her husband’s will, written on his deathbed, offered a reasonable annuity to support her and the children, but it came with a catch. To get that money, Caroline had to move to Ireland with her children and live in a house of her brothers-in-law’s choosing. English-born, Caroline had migrated to Australia with her family when she was only seventeen. She had never even been to Ireland. Her husband and his family – unlike her – were Catholic.This extraordinary book combines storytelling with a historian’s detective work. Pieced together from evidence in archives, newspapers, genealogical sites, legal records, and old-fashioned legwork, Caroline’s Dilemma sheds new light on the workings of colonial gender relationships and family lives that spanned the nineteenth-century globe. It reveals much about women’s property rights, migration, settler colonialism, the Irish diaspora, and sectarian conflict. It shows how one middle-class woman and her family fought to shape their own lives within the British Empire.SEPTEMBER 2020352 pages, 6 x 9.25 in.978-0-7748-6560-9 HC $95.00978-0-7748-6531-9 PB $34.95978-0-7748-6532-6 LIBRARY E-BOOKHISTORY / BRITISH EMPIRE STUDIES / DIASPORA STUDIES / BIOGRAPHYWorld rights except Australia and New ZealandBETTINA BRADBURY spent her academic career in Canada teaching first at Université de Montréal and then at York University.

But beauty pageants were more than just frivolous spectacles. Queen of the Maple Leaf deftly uncovers how colonial power operated within the pageant circuit. Patrizia Gentile examines the interplay between local or community-based pageants and provincial or national ones. Contests such as Miss War Worker and Miss Civil Service often functioned as stepping stones to larger competitions. At all levels, pageants exemplified codes of femininity, class, sexuality, and race that shaped the narratives of the settler nation. A union-organized pageant such as Queen of the Dressmakers, for example, might uplift working-class women, but immigrant women need not apply. Queen of the Maple Leaf demonstrates how these contests connected female bodies to respectable, wholesome, middle-class femininity, locating their longevity squarely within their capacity to reassert the white heteropatriarchy at the heart of settler societies.OCTOBER 2020288 pages, 6 x 9 in., 12 b&w photos978-0-7748-6412-1 HC $89.95978-0-7748-6414-5 LIBRARY E-BOOKGENDER & SEXUALITY STUDIES / WOMEN’S STUDIES / CANADIAN HISTORY / CULTURAL STUDIES / CRITICAL RACE STUDIES SERIES: Sexuality StudiesPATRIZIA GENTILE is an associate professor in the Human Rights and Social Justice program and the Institute of Women’s and Gender Studies at Carleton University.

Watson“Who is permitted to ‘come undone’? In this superbly written book, Amanda Watson frames public, modern motherhood as only available to particular, privileged mothers – but also documents the costs to those same mothers.”—MAY FRIEDMAN, author of Mommyblogs and the Changing Face of MotherhoodWho invented the juggling mother, the woman who quietly flicks dried cereal off her blazer while running a corporate empire? The Juggling Mother explores this figure of contemporary mothering in media representations: a typically white, middle-class woman on the verge of coming undone because of her unwieldy slate of labours.Mothers who frantically juggle paid and unpaid work demands do not threaten the way labour is organized. They show the cracks in how we imagine normal family life, but they do not break them open. This idealized version of motherhood perpetuates established inequities of race, gender, class, and ability. In fact, as Amanda Watson convincingly demonstrates, the juggling mother is a model neoliberal worker who upholds white privilege along with notions of mastery, capacity, and productivity. The Juggling Mother is not about work-life balance. It is about how the expectation to manage competing labour demands impossibly well is pinned to women’s desire for political visibility and social inclusion.This controversial study makes the case that unfair labour distributions are publicly celebrated, intentionally performed, and intimately felt. Mothers with the most power are thus complicit in the exclusion of less privileged ones – and in their own undoing.

Farrow and Lesley Jacobs; Foreword by the Honourable Thomas A. Cromwell C.C.“Rather than reiterating the rhetoric of the access to justice crisis in Canada, this volume provides readers with both a sophisticated portrait of the complexity of the problem and glimpses of the structural reforms that are essential if we are to make any genuine progress.”—RICHARD DEVLIN, FRSC, Schulich School of Law, Dalhousie UniversityUnfulfilled legal needs are at a tipping point in many parts of the Canadian justice system and around the world. The Justice Crisis assesses what is and isn’t working in an effort to improve a fundamental right of democratic citizenship: access to civil and family justice.Meaningful access is often a question of providing pathways to resolving everyday legal issues. The availability of justice services that aren’t only tied to the courts and lawyers – such as public education on the law, alternative dispute settlement, and paralegal support – is therefore an important concern.Contributors to this wide-ranging overview of new empirical research address several key justice issues: the extent and cost of unmet legal needs; the role of public funding; connections between legal and social exclusion among vulnerable populations; the value of new legal pathways; the provision of justice services beyond the courts and lawyers; and the need for a culture change within the justice system. Their findings can inform initiatives to improve access to justice within the Canadian system and beyond.NOVEMBER 2020340 pages, 6 x 9 in., 30 tables, 25 charts978-0-7748-6357-5 HC $89.95978-0-7748-6359-9 LIBRARY E-BOOKLAW & SOCIETY / SOCIO-LEGAL STUDIESSERIES: Law and SocietyTREVOR C.W.

By documenting and examining community-based efforts to a ssist criminalized women in the city of Winnipeg, Nelund considers how front-line organizations attempt to imagine and do justice differently in Canada.”—JENNIFER KILTY, professor in the Department of Criminology, University of Ottawa Women are the fastest growing group of incarcerated people in Canada. While feminist criminologists advocate for community alternatives to imprisonment, they often do so without offering a corresponding analysis of existing community programs. And critical criminologists rarely consider gender in their assessment of the options.This book brings these criminological strands together in a concise and carefully reasoned analysis of alternative justice programs for criminalized women. Drawing on interviews with staff and documents from alternative justice agencies, Amanda Nelund finds that alternative programs neither reproduce dominant justice system norms nor provide complete alternatives. Instead, formal and informal practices reflect the tension between neoliberal and social justice approaches. A Better Justice? calls attention to the potential that alternative programs have for both alignment with and opposition to criminal justice norms. It is in the potential points of resistance that we can find improved strategies – and ultimately, greater social justice for criminalized women in Canada.OCTOBER 2020198 pages, 6 x 9 in.978-0-7748-6362-9 HC $75.00978-0-7748-6364-3 LIBRARY E-BOOKCRIMINOLOGY / LAW & SOCIETY / WOMEN’S STUDIES SERIES: Law and SocietyAMANDA NELUND is an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology at MacEwan University.

Vi l legasNorth of El Norte provides an important counterpoint to the attention given to Mexican migration to the United States by examining a lesser-known migration route: that of contemporary Mexican migrants to Canada.Paloma Villegas considers changing Canadian immigration policy and practice, and the implications of these changes for Mexican migrants without permanent resident status. Her analysis addresses the context in Mexico, the experience of border crossing, policies that restrict migration, and migrants’ options to achieve secure status. Villegas also provides an assessment of the barriers migrants encounter once in Canada, specifically in the labour market, in their creative pursuits, and in accessing health care.Drawing on interviews, policy documents, media accounts, and literature from local social service organizations, North of El Norte concludes that migration – and by extension migrant illegalization – is assembled, produced, and negotiated. The comprehensive research in this book sheds light on how individuals and institutions work to illegalize migrants, and on migrants’ active resistance to these efforts.SEPTEMBER 2020232 pages, 6 x 9 in., 4 tables, 3 charts978-0-7748-6337-7 HC $89.95978-0-7748-6339-1 LIBRARY E-BOOKSOCIOLOGY / IMMIGRATION & EMIGRATION / LATINX STUDIESPALOMA E.

But lack of housing security is but one barrier faced by people who are homeless. As A Complex Exile shows, the homelessness sector inadvertently reinforces social exclusion as well. The very policies, practices, and funding models that exist to house the homeless, promote social inclusion, and provide mental health care form a homelessness industrial complex. These practices emphasize personal responsibility and individualized responses that ultimately serve to exclude people in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. Erin Dej demonstrates that the causes of, and responses to, homelessness have become largely medicalized, limiting discussion on structural and systemic drivers such as income inequality, discrimination, and housing unaffordability. A Complex Exile goes beyond bio-medical and psychological perspectives on homelessness, mental illness, and addiction, calling for a transformation in how we respond to homelessness in Canada.NOVEMBER 2020232 pages, 6 x 9 in.978-0-7748-6511-1 HC $89.95978-0-7748-6513-5 LIBRARY E-BOOKSOCIOLOGY / PUBLIC POLICYERIN DEJ is an assistant professor of criminology at Wilfrid Laurier University.

Yet the falls are still worth visiting because they are still one-of-a-kind spectacular, and so is Daniel Macfarlane’s (not so natural) history of how it all happened.”—DAN EGAN, author of The Death and Life of the Great LakesSince the late nineteenth century, Niagara Falls has been heavily engineered to generate energy behind a flowing façade designed to appeal to tourists. Fixing Niagara Falls reveals the technological feats and cross-border politics that facilitated the transformation of one of the most important natural sites in North America. Daniel Macfarlane details how engineers, bureaucrats, and politicians conspired to manipulate the world’s most famous waterfall. Essentially, they turned this natural wonder into a tap: huge tunnels divert the waters of the Niagara River around the Falls, which ebb and flow according to the tourism calendar. To hide the visual impact of diverting the majority of the water, the United States and Canada cooperated to install massive control works while reshaping and shrinking the Horseshoe Falls. This book offers a unique interdisciplinary perspective on how the Niagara landscape ultimately embodies both the power of technology and the power of nature.SEPTEMBER 2020274 pages, 6 x 9 in., 47 b&w photos, 2 maps978-0-7748-6422-0 HC $89.95978-0-7748-6424-4 LIBRARY E-BOOKENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY / SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY & SOCIETYSERIES: Nature | History | SocietyDANIEL MACFARLANE is an associate professor in the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo.

Carter; Foreword by Graeme WynnThanks to increasingly extreme forms of oil extraction, Canada’s largest oil-producing provinces underwent exceptional economic growth from 2005 to 2015. Yet oil’s economic miracle obscured its ecological costs. Fossilized traces this development trajectory, assessing how the governments of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland and Labrador offered extensive support for oil-industry development, and exploring the often downplayed environmental effects of extraction.Angela Carter investigates overarching institutional trends, such as the restructuring of departments that prioritized extraction over environmental protection, and identifies regulatory inadequacies related to environmental assessment, land-use planning, and emissions controls. Her detailed analysis situates these policy dynamics within the historical and global context of late-stage petro-capitalism and deepening neoliberalization of environmental policy.Fossilized reveals a country out of step with the transition unfolding in response to the climate crisis. As the global community moves toward decarbonization, Canada’s petro-provinces are instead doubling down on oil – to their ecological and economic peril.OCTOBER 2020186 pages, 6 x 9 in., 7 charts978-0-7748-6352-0 HC $75.00978-0-7748-6354-4 LIBRARY E-BOOKENVIRONMENTAL POLICY / ENERGY / POLITICAL ECONOMYSERIES: Nature | History | SocietyANGELA V.

Should Canada belong to international alliances that depend on the threat of using nuclear weapons for their own security? Should Canadian-produced nuclear technologies be exported to potential proliferators? Does the country’s championing of arms control and disarmament on the global stage matter?

Scholars have been waiting for a book like this.”—CHRISTOPHER DUMMITT, associate professor, School for the Study of Canada, Trent UniversityMuch of Canada’s modern identity emerged from the innovative social policies and ambitious foreign policy of Louis St-Laurent’s Liberal government. His extraordinarily creative administration made decisions that still resonate today: on health care, pensions, and housing; on infrastructure and intergovernmental issues; and, further afield, in developing Canada’s global middle-power role and resolving the Suez Crisis. Yet St-Laurent remains an enigmatic figure. Contributors to The Unexpected Louis St-Laurent assess the degree to which he set the policy agenda. They explore the features of his personality that made him effective (or sometimes less so), the changes he wrought on the state apparatus and federal-provincial relations, and the substance of his government’s policies.This wide-ranging collection fills a great void in Canadian political history, bringing together seasoned professionals and new scholars to investigate the far-reaching influence of the politician who presided over the last stage of the longest uninterrupted run in power of any party at the federal level.NOVEMBER 2020530 pages, 6 x 9 in., 10 photos, 22 tables, 10 charts978-0-7748-6402-2 HC $49.95978-0-7748-6404-6 LIBRARY E-BOOKDIPLOMATIC HISTORY / CANADIAN STUDIESSERIES: The C.D.

KUKUCHA, professor of political science, University of Lethbridge Canadian Foreign Policy, as an academic discipline, is in crisis. Despite its value, CFP is often considered a “stale and pale” subfield of political science with an unfashionably state-centred focus. Canadian Foreign Policy asks why.Contributors investigate how they came to view themselves as participating in CFP as an academic project – or not – and what that means for both their intellectual trajectory and the development of the field. How were they taught to think about Canada? How does that affect their interpretation of this country’s place in the world? And how do they teach the subject themselves? Their thoughtful essays shine a light on issues such as the casualization of academic labour, the prospect of Indigenizing the field, and the relationship between study and practice.This nuanced collection offers not only a much-needed assessment of the boundaries, goals, and values of the discipline but also a guide to its revitalization.NOVEMBER 2020272 pages, 6 x 9 in.978-0-7748-6347-6 HC $89.95978-0-7748-6349-0 LIBRARY E-BOOKPOLITICAL SCIENCE / FOREIGN POLICY / POLITICAL HISTORY SERIES: The C.D.

CooperUnlike most public servants, top administrators – those who manage thousands of personnel and oversee millions of dollars in public spending – are appointed by the head of government. At the Pleasure of the Crown is a detailed exploration of this central but overlooked aspect of governing.Christopher A. Cooper analyzes the appointment of deputy ministers in Canada’s provincial bureaucracies over the last century. As the nature of governance has shifted – from limited government to welfare state and into the contemporary era of managerialism – governments have looked for different qualities in those who occupy top bureaucratic posts. Partisan loyalty was replaced by candid advice, and ultimately by feverish devotion to the policy agenda. Throughout, turnover among bureaucratic elites has remained highly political.At the Pleasure of the Crown illuminates the historical balance of power between elected politicians and appointed bureaucrats, as well as the consequences for the integrity of Canadian public institutions.OCTOBER 2020160 pages, 6 x 9 in., 13 tables, 11 charts978-0-7748-6476-3 HC $75.00978-0-7748-6478-7 LIBRARY E-BOOKPOLITICAL SCIENCE / CANADIAN POLITICS / PUBLIC POLICY & ADMINISTRATIONCHRISTOPHER A.

But is this really happening?Reconciliation politics, as developed in South America and South Africa, work counter to retributive justive in order to redress the divide opened up between survivors and perpetrators as a result of historical violence. The Theatre of Regret asks whether, within the context of settler colonialism, this approach will ultimately favour the state over the needs and requirements of Indigenous peoples. Interweaving literature, art, and other creative media throughout his analysis, David Gaertner questions the state-centred frameworks of reconciliation by exploring the critical roles that Indigenous and allied authors, artists, and thinkers play in defining, challenging, and refusing settler regret.Through close examination of its core concepts – acknowledgement, apology, redress, and forgiveness – this study exposes the colonial ideology at the root of reconciliation in Canada.NOVEMBER 2020290 pages, 6 x 9 in.978-0-7748-6535-7 HC $89.95978-0-7748-6537-1 LIBRARY E-BOOKINDIGENOUS STUDIES / CANADIAN STUDIES / LITERATUREDAVID GAERTNER is an assistant professor in the Institute of Critical Indigenous Studies at the University of British Columbia.

Smith, and Norman SmithFrom 1931 to 1945, as Japanese imperialism developed and spread throughout China, three regions experienced life under occupation: the puppet state of Manchukuo, East China, and North China. Each did so in a distinct manner, but making sense of experiences and decisions made during this crucial period has been an elusive goal for historians. Despite the enduring importance of the occupation to world history and historical memory in East Asia, Translating the Occupation is the first English-language volume to provide such a diverse selection of important primary sources from this period for both scholars and students. Contributors from six different countries have translated sources from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean on a wide range of subjects, focusing on writers who have long been considered problematic or outright traitorous. Each text is accompanied by a short essay to contextualize the translation and explain its significance. This volume offers a practical, accessible sourcebook from which to challenge standard narratives. The texts have been carefully selected to deepen our understanding of the myriad tensions, transformations, and continuities in Chinese wartime society. Translating the Occupation reasserts the centrality of the occupation to twentieth-century Chinese history and opens the door further to much-needed analysis.DECEMBER 2020292 pages, 6 x 9 in., 24 b&w photos, 3 maps, 3 tables978-0-7748-6446-6 HC $65.00978-0-7748-6448-0 LIBRARY E-BOOKASIAN HISTORY / CHINA STUDIES / JAPAN STUDIESJONATHAN HENSHAW is a historian of modern China.
