From the mid-nineteenth century onward, advocates argued that technology, as a moral force, would strengthen the ties that bound Canada to Britain and Western civilization, while opponents saw technology as a source of American power that threatened Canadian independence. This wide-ranging, engaging book examines the ideas of Anglo-Canadian theorists who saw technology as a new imperative that would either enhance or threaten the moral imperative and Canadian identity. The Technological Imperative in Canada offers new insights into the ideas of influential Canadian intellectuals such as Harold Innis, Marshall McLuhan, and George Grant and introduces readers to lesser-known but key theorists such as George Sidney Brett, Sandford Fleming, Thomas Keefer, Stephen Leacock, and Ursula Franklin. It shows how well-known individuals who are not considered philosophers of technology, such as William Lyon Mackenzie King and Northrop Frye, offered important insights into the subject, and it explores perceptions of technology among literary figures such as Thomas Haliburton, Frederick Philip Grove, Archibald Lampman, Dennis Lee, and E.J. Pratt. Highly original and seminal, this book revises the entrenched notion that Anglo-Canadian thought has been dominated by the moral imperative. It will appeal to anyone who wants a Canadian perspective on the critical subject of technology.R. dOUGLAS FRANCIS is a professor of Canadian history at the University of Calgary.

This incisive, richly illustrated book draws upon visual images and representations of four cultural areas – sports clubs, the William Notman Photographic Studies, winter carnivals, and the Northwest Rebellion – to demonstrate that a new, native Canadian identity emerged much earlier in Montreal between 1840 and 1885. How did British colonists in Victorian Montreal come to think of themselves as “native Canadian”? Gillian Poulter reveals that colonists adopted Aboriginal and French Canadian activities – hunting, lacrosse, snowshoeing, and tobogganing – and then imposed upon them British ideologies of order, discipline, and fair play. In the process, they constructed national attributes, or visual icons, that came to be recognized at home and abroad as distinctly “Canadian.” The new Canadian nationality mimicked indigenous characteristics but, ultimately, rejected indigenous players, and championed the interests of white, middle-class, Protestant males who used their newly acquired identity to dominate the political realm. Becoming Native in a Foreign Land demonstrates that English Canadian identity was not formed solely by emulating what was British, it gained enormous ground by usurping what was indigenous in a foreign land. It will appeal to scholars and enthusiasts of Canadian history, identity, and culture.GILLIAN POULTER is an associate professor of Canadian history at Acadia University.

CARROLL, ForEWorD by robErT boTHWELL John W. Holmes had more impact on the thinking of careful observers of Canada’s foreign policy than any other Canadian “scholar-diplomat.” Adam Chapnick’s balanced, thoughtful, and highly readable account of his “public life” tells us why. It is essential reading for anyone with an interest in Canada’s post-1945 diplomatic practice.– Denis Stairs, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, Dalhousie University This is an important biography of one of the most significant shapers of Canadian foreign policy during the post-Second World War period. In a highly engrossing manner, Adam Chapnick convincingly demonstrates how this policymaker and leading public intellectual came to personify Canadian foreign policy during some of the most critical moments of the postwar decades. – David G. Haglund, Professor of Political Studies, Queen’s UniversityIt is hard to imagine a person who embodied the ideals of postwar Canadian foreign policy more than John Wendell Holmes. Holmes joined the foreign service in 1943, headed the Canadian Institute of International Affairs from 1960 to 1973, and, as a professor of international relations, mentored a generation of students and scholars. This book is the first comprehensive biography of a diplomat and public intellectual who influenced not only how scholars and statespeople abroad viewed Canada but also how Canadians saw themselves on the world stage. Canada’s Voice offers an engrossing look at how one man shaped foreign policy during Canada’s golden age as a middle power.

Carroll ’s book is a major original contribution to the field. He shows that, although a so-called classic example of peacekeeping, UNEF has far more relevance to current Canadian operations in response to international crises than is generally thought.– W.A.B. Douglas, official historian of the Canadian Armed Forces and author of the historical report for the Department of National Defence, in 1973, on the evacuation of the UNEFIn 1957 Lester Pearson won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating the United Nations Emergency Force during the Suez Crisis. The award launched Canada’s love affair with, and reputation for, peacekeeping. Pearson’s Peacekeepers explores the reality behind the rhetoric by offering a detailed account of the UNEF’s decade-long effort to keep peace along the Egyptian-Israeli border. The operation was a tremendous achievement, yet the UNEF also encountered formidable challenges and problems. This nuanced account of Canada’s participation in the UNEF not only challenges received notions of Canadian identity and history but will also help students, policy makers, and concerned citizens to accurately evaluate international peacekeeping efforts in the present. mICHAEL CARROLL is a SDF Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Military and Strategic Studies at the University of Calgary.

It provides another lens through which to view the history of the province.– Ruth Sandwell, author of Beyond the City Limits: Rural History in British ColumbiaIn the 240 years from contact to the present, British Columbia’s population has experienced transformations of a kind and magnitude witnessed nowhere else in North America. The introduction of exotic diseases changed the human landscape almost overnight, as did gold rushes, industrialization, two world wars, a baby boom, late 20th-century immigration from Asia, and a grey wave. Becoming British Columbia is the first comprehensive, demographic history of this province. Investigating critical moments in the demographic record and linking demographic patterns to larger social and political questions, it shows how biology, politics, and history conspire with sex, death, and migration to create a particular kind of society.

But was this program, which gave all mothers a monthly stipend to raise the nation’s babies, driven by a desire to create a kinder, gentler nation or was it more influenced by economics, constitution-making, and international trends in public policy? This book explores the family allowance phenomenon from its debut in 1929 to its demise as a universal program under the Mulroney government in 1992. Although successive federal governments remained committed to its underlying principle of universality, party politics, the bureaucracy, federal-provincial wrangling, and the shifting priorities of citizens eroded the rights-based approach to social security and replaced it with one based on need. By tracing the evolution of one social security program within a national perspective, this book sheds light on the process by which Canada’s welfare state and social policy has been transformed over the past half century.

Reconstructed from tavern-keepers’ accounts, court records, diaries, travelogues, and letters, In Mixed Company is essential reading for tavern aficionados and anyone interested in the history of gender, race, and culture in Canadian or colonial society.

How did this come about? What were the motives and methods of the people involved in both countries? Why did it come to an end? What effects did it have on the children involved and what eventually became of them? These are the questions Roy Parker explores in a meticulously researched work that brings together economic, political, social, medical, legal, administrative, and religious aspects of the story in Britain and Canada.

Drawing on newly acquired archival sources, extensive interviews, and materials released through access to information applications, Clément explores the history of organizations that emerged in the sixties and evolved into powerful lobbies for human rights.

Between 1921 and 1960, these lakes comprised a seam in the Canadian interior where industrial economies took root, transgressing political geographies and superseding the historically dominant fur trade. The state and private enterprise imported southern scientists and sojourning labourers to work the northwest, and its industrial history bears these newcomers’ imprint. The Industrial Transformation of Subarctic Canada reveals the history of human impact upon the North. It provides a baseline, grounded in historical and scientific evidence, for measuring subarctic environmental change. Liza Piper examines the sustainability of industrial economies, the value of resource exploitation in volatile ecosystems, and the human consequences of northern environmental change. She also addresses northern communities’ historic resistance to external resource development and their fight for survival in the face of intensifying environmental and economic pressures. This rich environmental history will appeal to historians, geographers, and environmentalists interested in industrialization, resource management, and the Canadian North.

Socknat, co-editor of Challenge to Mars: Essays on Pacifism from 1918 to 1945The First World War’s appalling death toll and the need for a sense of equality of sacrifice on the home front led to Canada’s first experience of overseas conscription. While historians have focused on resistance to enforced military service in Quebec, this has obscured the important role of those who saw military service as incompatible with their religious or ethical beliefs. Crisis of Conscience is the first and only book about the Canadian pacifists who refused to fight in the Great War. The experience of these conscientious objectors offers insight into evolving attitudes about the rights and responsibilities of citizenship during a key period of Canadian nation building.This book will appeal to readers interested in Canadian military and peace history.

CHAN ANd dONALd FISHERIn the early nineteenth century, governments began to develop specialized educational programs – kindergartens and infant or nursery schools – to give children a head start in life. These programs hinged on new visions of childhood that originated in England and Europe, but what happened when they were transported to the colonies?This book unwinds the tangled threads of this history by drawing on a wide range of sources to trace how ideas and developments such as Rousseau’s “noble savage,” Froebel’s emphasis on activity and play, and the Industrial Revolution translated into early infant schools in England, kindergartens in Germany and the United States, and the emergence of free kindergarten systems in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It reveals how these three similar but distinct colonies developed early education systems that maintained the integrity of the ideas that inspired them but adapted them to suit local ideas, politics, and indigenous and immigrant populations.This unique account of early childhood education in comparative perspective shows how discourses and developments in the past have shaped the way we educate our children in the present. It will appeal to teachers, researchers, historians, and policy-makers who seek fresh insight into how to reconcile educational theory and practice in an increasingly global world.LARRy PROCHNER is an associate professor of early childhood education at the University of Alberta.

Universities are under increasing economic pressure to develop human capital, science, and technology in support of the need for economic restructuring and international competitiveness. “Market relations” and “knowledge economies” have become key phrases in university debates over research and academic priorities, while privatization reveals tensions between public and private sectors.Pressures for capital accumulation, research commercialization, technology transfer, and academic capitalism create fractures in today’s universities by weakening boundaries separating academy and industry. Furthermore, through legislation and policy, governments have created quasi-markets that encourage institutional competition both within the public sphere and between public and private sectors.The Exchange University addresses crucial questions facing today’s university, including the commercialization of research and teaching; intensifying government-university relationships; marketization and commodification; and policy and functional responses within the academy.

AdkINSpeaking for Ourselves Environmental Justice in CanadaEdITEd By JULIAN AGyEmAN, PETER COLE, RANdOLPH HALUzA-dELAy, ANd PAT O’RILEyEnvironmental issues are moving from the margins to the centre of discussion and debate in Canada. This path-breaking collection brings together scholars who argue that the environmental struggles of citizens’ groups, ENGOs, First Nations, and other actors are necessarily also struggles about democracy and citizenship, and that ecological goals cannot be achieved without the democratization of existing norms and institutions. Case studies ranging from the crises of coastal fisheries, to the regulation of genetically modified crops, to opposition to urban sprawl analyze these conflicts from the perspectives of environmental justice, social movement theory, the roles of science, and institutional design. Two chapters offer a critical assessment of green democratic theory.By grounding theory in empirical study of social actors, political economy, and institutions, Environmental Conflict and Democracy in Canada charts a new course for research in environmental citizenship. It is essential reading for anyone interested in political ecology and the environmental challenges we now face.Issues addressed in this volume include:• Genetically engineered crops• Farm pollution• Salmon aquaculture and First Nations resistance; coastal fisheries management• Ontario’s Lands for Life Consultation Process• Forestry and parks management and conservation; forest certification and citizens’ committees• Land use consultation processes in Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta• Insititutional citizenship• Waste management• Gentrification, redevelopment, and urban sprawl• Experiments in deliberative democracy• Green democracy and ecological citizenship• First Nations and water rights• Relationships between environmentalists and First NationsLAURIE E.

Yet the relationship between social equity and environmental sustainability is only dimly understood in Canada. Speaking for Ourselves draws together Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal scholars and activists who bring equity issues to the forefront by considering environmental justice from multiple perspectives and in specifically Canadian contexts. As the first major examination of environmental equity and injustice in Canada, this book will appeal to scholars, activists, and citizens who want to make our country and global society more just, equitable, and sustainable.

This book’s multi-level, interdisciplinary comparative analysis yields a rich set of insights that challenge many conventional regulatory paradigms. – Michael Trebilcock, Chair in Law and Economics, University of Toronto, and co-author of The Regulation of International TradeSetting the Standard chronicles the emergence and implications of an ambitious experiment in global governance: the Forest Stewardship Council. The FSC was born in 1993 as a grassroots initiative with the goal to promote “environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world’s forests” through an international system of forest certification. The recent establishment of an FSC standard for British Columbia was achieved only after difficult and protracted negotiations at the regional, national, and global levels. Drawing on a pioneering case study of the negotiation process, this book explores the challenges associated with implementing the FSC’s global vision. It also undertakes a comparative analysis of FSC standards and standard-setting processes elsewhere in Canada and in the US and Europe, and grapples with the broader implications of the emerging FSC experience for global governance and regulatory theory.CHRIS TOLLEFSON is a professor of law at the University of Victoria.

BUNNELL ANd GLEN B. dUNSWORTHSustainable management is a problem for countries that depend on natural resources. Forests contain much of the world’s biodiversity and offer significant renewable resources with a potentially small ecological and carbon footprint. Yet as global demand for forest products increases, conserving biodiversity has become more urgent and challenging.Forestry and Biodiversity makes the case for adaptive management – a structured approach to learning by doing – to sustain biodiversity in managed forests. It draws on the theory and principles of conservation biology and forest ecology and illustrates them, and the challenges they pose, through a practical, real-world study of a 1.1 million hectare commercial operation in a coastal temperate rainforest. Accessible and innovative, this book describes a program for sustaining biodiversity that will be of interest to those who plan, or hope to influence, forest practices and to those who are concerned with wildlife, climate change, and the environment.

But is self-government an effective path to self-determination? Finding Dahshaa shows where self-government negotiations between Canada and the Dehcho, Délînê, and Inuvialuit and Gwich’in peoples have gone wrong and offers, through descriptions of tanning practices that embody principles and values central to self-determination, an alternative model for negotiations.

Susan Dion takes up questions of (re)presenting the lived experiences of Aboriginal people in the service of pedagogy.

With the arrival of the fur trade, the French of the engagés or voyageurs provided additional vocabulary and a set of viable cultural practices, a key element of which was marital bonding with Indian and métisse women. These women and their children were the first fluent speakers of Wawa. After several decades of contact, ensuing epidemics brought demographic collapse to the Chinookans. Within another decade the region was radically transformed by the Oregon Trail. Wawa had acquired its present shape, but lost its homeland. It became a diaspora language in which many communities seek some trace of their past. A previously unpublished glossary of Wawa circa 1825 is included as an appendix to this volume. Making Wawa will attract the attention of linguists, especially those involved in contact linguistics and the languages of the Pacific Northwest. It will also interest historians and other scholars interested in Native and gender studies, cross-cultural conflict, and transculturation.

ROyThe Paradoxes of Peacebuilding Post-9/11EdITEd By STEPHEN BARANyIWhen the Second World War began, Canada had no foreign intelligence capacity. Its political leaders had concluded that a clandestine service was not necessary to meet the nation’s intelligence requirements. Yet Kurt F. Jensen argues that the country was a more active intelligence partner in the wartime alliance than has previously been suggested. Drawing on newly released materials and exhaustive research, he describes Canada’s contributions to Allied intelligence before the war began, as well as the distinctly Canadian activities that started from that point. Cautious Beginnings spans the period from 1939 to 1951, when Canada reconfigured its foreign intelligence operations to meet the challenges of a changing world, and by the early 1950s possessed resources that rivalled or exceeded those of many other nations. This is a convincing portrait of a nation with an active role in Second World War intelligence gathering, one that continues to influence the architecture of its current capabilities.

But which elements of contemporary globalization and forms of autonomy are novel and which are merely continuations of long-standing trends? Empires and Autonomy brings together a distinguished group of scholars who address these questions by focusing on historical moments that involved the establishment or protection of autonomy, moments that inevitably involved friction.

Many formal and informal institutions – from the World Trade Organization to transnational legal and financial regimes to new governance arrangements for aboriginal communities in environmentally sensitive regions – are evolving, adapting to meet new challenges, or failing to adjust rapidly enough. The globalization-autonomy metric helps to interpret such developments and clarify their implications.

Yet there is no consensus on why community matters or how globalization affects particular communities. What seems clear, however, is that people are seeking to claim, retain, or reconsider how they define and represent themselves, live together, and determine their futures. Autonomy in this sense has become a compelling question for communities across the world. Renegotiating Community asks what happens to the autonomy of individuals and communities in such circumstances. Original case studies show how a range of communities are renegotiating the meanings of community and autonomy while living with, and sometimes challenging, the processes of globalization. By addressing the coercive and comforting dimensions of community and the need to reconcile conflicting claims to autonomy, this book redraws the conceptual maps through which community, globalization, and autonomy are understood.dIANA BRydON is a Canada Research Chair in Globalization and Cultural Studies at the University of Manitoba.

Moving beyond traditional narratives of Aboriginal-European contact and Chinese-European relations, Renisa Mawani probes the unsettled landscape of crossracial encounters between “Indians” and “Chinese” in British Columbia history. She deftly captures the frenzied anxieties that whites harboured over ungovernable mixed-race activities, and brilliantly dissects the renewed state racisms that were born of such encounters.– Constance Backhouse, Distinguished University Professor and University Research Chair, Faculty of Law, University of OttawaReal and imagined encounters between aboriginal peoples, European colonists, Chinese migrants, and mixed-race populations produced racial anxieties that underwrote crossracial contacts in the salmon canneries, the illicit liquor trade, and the (white) slavery scare in late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century British Columbia. Colonial Proximities explores the legal and spatial strategies of rule deployed by Indian agents, missionaries, and legal authorities who aspired to restrict crossracial encounters. By connecting genealogies of aboriginal-European contact with those of Chinese migration, this book reveals that territorial dispossession and Chinese exclusion were never distinct projects but two conjunctive processes in the making of the settler regime. Drawing on archival documents and historical records, Colonial Proximities historicizes current discussions of multiculturalism and pluralism in modern settler societies by revealing how crossracial interactions in one colonial contact zone inspired juridical racial truths and forms of governance that continue to linger in contemporary racial politics. It is essential reading for students and scholars of history, anthropology, sociology, colonial/ postcolonial studies, and critical race and legal studies.RENISA mAWANI is an assistant professor of sociology at the University of British Columbia.NEW HARdCOvERMay 2009, 304 pages (est.), 6 × 9˝12 b/w photos, 2 tables978-0-7748-1633-5 HC 85.00 This volume is a major contribution to the study of constitutional politics in Canada. Kelly and Manfredi have assembled an “all star team” of scholars in the field. The result is a volume with thoughtful perspectives on governance and institutions, policy making and the courts, and citizenship and identity. This should be required reading for both specialists in the field and those with an interest in constitutional and Canadian politics.– Patrick James, Professor, University of Southern California, and coauthor of The Myth of the Sacred: The Charter, the Courts and the Politics of the Constitution in CanadaThe introduction of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982 was accompanied by much fanfare and public debate, and it remains the subject of controversy today. Contested Constitutionalism does not celebrate the Charter, it offers a critique by distinguished scholars of law and political science of its effect on democracy, judicial power, and the place of Quebec and Aboriginal peoples in Canada. Employing a diversity of methodological approaches, contributors explore three themes: governance and institutions, policy making and the courts, and citizenship and identity politics. The influence of the Charter has been profound, they conclude, but has it been beneficial? This nuanced book shifts the focus of debate from the Charter’s appropriateness to its impact – for better or worse – on political institutions, public policy, and conceptions of citizenship. It will be of interest to students and practitioners of law, public policy, and political science.CONTRIBUTORS include Dennis Baker; Sujit Choudhry; Graham Fraser; Matthew Hennigar; Janet Hiebert: Grant Huscroft; James B.

BLAIRLanding Native FisheriesIndian reserves and Fishing rights in british Columbia, 1849–1925dOUGLAS C. HARRISCanadian yearbook of International Law, vol. 45, 2007EdITEd By d.m. mcRAEIn a 1994 decision known as Howard, the Supreme Court of Canada held that the Aboriginal signatories to the 1923 Williams Treaties had knowingly given up not only their title to off-reserve lands but also their treaty rights to hunt and fish for food. No other First Nations in Canada have ever been found to have willingly surrendered similar rights. Peggy J. Blair gives the Howard decision considerable context. She examines federal and provincial bickering over “special rights” for Aboriginal peoples and notes how Crown policies toward Indian rights changed as settlement pressures increased. Blair argues that the Canadian courts caused a serious injustice by applying erroneous cultural assumptions in their interpretation of the evidence. In particular, they confused provincial government policy, which has historically favoured public over special rights, with the understanding of the parties at the time. Blair demonstrates that when American courts applied the same legal principles as their Canadian counterparts to a case involving similar facts, they reached the opposite conclusion. Lament for a First Nation convincingly demonstrates that what the Canadian courts considered to be strong and conclusive proof of surrender was in fact based on almost no evidence at all. PEGGy J.

She clarifies and expands the scope of radical critiques of this field ... outlining the contours of other ways of understanding identity and difference that point toward new, more progressive understandings of democracy, subjectivity, and citizenship.– Richard Day, author of Multiculturalism and the History of Canadian DiversityIn her innovative critique of political theory debates over multiculturalism and difference in Canada and the United States, Dhamoon develops an ‘account of meaning-making’ that attunes us to the complexities of power as it interfaces with cultural patterns. With new and compelling case studies, she moves us out of the linguistic focus of Kymlicka and Taylor in Canada and the religious/ethnic focus of many American tracts.– Hawley Fogg-Davis, author of The Ethics of Transracial Adoption Theories of liberal multiculturalism have come to dominate debates about identity and difference politics in contemporary western political theory. Identity/Difference Politics offers a nuanced critique of these debates by switching the focus from culture to power. Issues of power are examined through accounts of meaning-making – those processes through which meanings of difference are produced, organized, and regulated. Accounts of overlooked forms of identity/difference such as whiteness, ableism, and heteronormativity establish the analytic and normative value of Dhamoon’s alternative theoretical framework, and reveal that an exclusive preoccupation with culture can dissolve into essentialism – which too often provides a rationale for state regulation of groups deemed to be too different.RITA dHAmOON teaches in the Department of Philosophy and Political Science at the University of the Fraser Valley, British Columbia.

In the 1960s, a pioneering study by Vincent Lemieux and John Meisel revealed that associations were paralyzed by internal conflicts over language. Language Matters examines whether this remains the case.The contributors present case studies of diverse associations, ranging from business organizations and municipal associations to groups concerned with equality and social justice. Each contribution examines key turning points in the given association’s history and highlights how its mandate, leadership, and relationship to the federal and provincial governments shaped its response to linguistic diversity.

Perhaps even more significantly, it makes the case that developments in the new millennium denote a new phase in the global steel business, which portends even more dramatic changes of behaviour and performance … It will make a substantial contribution to scholarship.– Peter Clancy, author of Micro-Politics and Canadian Business: Paper, Steel and the AirlinesThe steel industry occupies a strategic position in the global economy. Steel is a major, heavily traded commodity whose availability is necessary for worldwide economic development. Yet, with the introduction of new technologies and producers, particularly China, the industry has become volatile. Prices fluctuate, the industry is vulnerable to oversupply, and the cost structure encourages price warfare.Big Steel explores how the integrated steel industry is adapting to trade and international competition. The unexpected merger of the world’s two largest steelmakers, Arcelor and Mittal, portends massive consolidation as a strategy to diversify markets and stabilize a globalizing industry. Daniel Madar examines the industry’s tactical and strategic responses and the repercussions of innovation from various vantage points, including cost structures and technology, the economics of trade protection, and Paul Krugman’s Nobel Prize-winning explanation of industrial diffusion and trade. Along with the survival strategies of consolidation and protectionism, Madar considers close cooperation between steelmakers and their primary customers, the automakers.Presented in a straightforward, non-technical manner, this book describes how one strategic industry has adapted to powerful technological and structural changes, ushering in a new phase in the global steel business.

The introspective, insular, and largely atheoretical style that informed Canadian political science for most of the postwar period has given way to a deeper engagement with, and integration into, the global field of comparative politics. This volume is the first sustained attempt to describe, analyze, and assess the “comparative turn” in Canadian political science. Canada’s engagement with comparative politics is examined with a focus on three central questions: In what ways, and how successfully, have Canadian scholars contributed to the study of comparative politics? How does the study of the Canadian case have the unique potential to advance the comparative discipline? Finally, can Canadian practice and policy be reproduced in other countries? The depth and scope of analysis in The Comparative Turn will inform graduate students and scholars. Its accessible style will make the book useful to undergraduate courses in Canadian and comparative politics and to other readers interested in these topics. LINdA A.

By treating scale as an important form of spatialization – one that has its own contradictions and dynamics – the contributors bring a new sensibility to bear on classicial and contemporary concerns in political economy, ranging from the role of the nation-state to social movement politics and aboriginal self-governance, from environmental concerns to urban development, and from public health to child care.

The field of surveillance studies lurches forward as a result. This informative interdisciplinary work by Canadian scholars (the country in the forefront of surveillance studies) should be read by anyone interested in the richness, complexity, and varied consequences of both traditional and new surveillance techniques.– Gary T. Marx, Professor Emeritus of Sociology at M.I.T.Surveillance is commonly rationalized as a practice to address existing political or social problems such as crime, fraud, and terrorism. This book explores how surveillance systems can, under the guise of managing risk or reducing harm, cause or exacerbate a range of problems, including poverty, over-policing, suspicion, and exclusion. The contributors explore the relationship between surveillance and social and political problems in a number of cultural locations and institutional arenas: policing, consumerism, welfare administration, disaster management, popular culture, moral regulation, news media, social movements, and anti-terrorism campaigns. The thought-provoking discussion of problems and potential solutions makes this book a valuable resource for students and practitioners of sociology, criminology, history, anthropology, political science, and communications and culture.

The modern meanings of kinship, marriage, parenthood, gender, and sexuality are now being questioned, and debates on same-sex marriages and parenthood or on divorce and blended families are reflective of these challenges.

It is a classical exercise of family sociology that draws upon a range of disciplines – history, anthropology, psychology, and demography – to provide an interpretive model for understanding contemporary changes in the family.

EINSIEdELAn important contribution for scholars interested in the philosophy of science, science studies, and policy/decision-making processes around new technologies. – Toby A. Ten Eyck, Department of Sociology, Michigan State University New technologies emerge all the time. Some technologies, however, are transformative: they introduce new forms of control, both through formal systems of regulation and by informally shaping our behaviour. Too often our social reactions to new technologies occur only in hindsight, after the technology has penetrated the marketplace. Contributors to this collection examine the development, impact, and governance of new technologies emerging from a variety of fields, including biotechnology, genetics, stem cell research, pharmacology, and nanotechnology. Emerging Technologies addresses the ethical, legal, and social dimensions of emerging technologies and assesses their social and policy implications. It will appeal to scholars and students in science and technology studies, sociology, and public policy, and to anyone interested in new technologies and their impact upon the world. EdNA F.

Who should mend these spaces, and how should they approach the problem?Thinking Planning and Urbanism meticulously reconstructs the process of an urban core-area redevelopment in order to show how city planning was involved in the decisions taken. Inspired by Times Square, Toronto wanted the Dundas Square area to capture entertainment and impulse spending by tourists and residents. As with similar redevelopments in Europe and the United States, a labyrinth of players, policies, and legislation – conflicting theories, arguments, and ambitions – eventually sidelined the public-planning function. The usual explanation in these cases is that the influence of money and politics superseded the planning process. But this book exposes the cracks in planning itself, revealing how its theories – based on the premise that space is a social construction – do not help practicing planners, who need a broader understanding of urbanism in which to find and persuasively argue for creative solutions to post-industrial problems. The findings drawn from this case will be widely recognized in redevelopment challenges elsewhere, and thus will be extremely useful to students and practitioners of urban design, public administration, municipal law, and urban and regional planning.BETH mOORE mILROy is former director of the School of Urban and Regional Planning and professor emerita at Ryerson University, Toronto. NEW HARdCOvERJuly 2009, 312 pages, 6 × 9˝16 photos, 8 maps, 6 illustrations, 3 tables978-0-7748-1614-4 HC 85.00 Suburb, Slum, Urban Village examines the relationship between image and reality for one city neighbourhood – Toronto’s Parkdale. Carolyn Whitzman tracks Parkdale’s story across three eras: its early decades as a politically independent suburb of the industrial city; its half-century of ostensible decline toward becoming a slum; and a post-industrial period of transformation into a revitalized urban village. This book also shows how Parkdale’s image influenced planning policy for the neighbourhood.Whitzman demonstrates that image and reality have not always correlated for Parkdale. For example, even while its reputation as a gentrified area grew in the post-sixties era, the overall health and income of the neighbourhood’s residents was in fact decreasing, and the area attracted media coverage as a “dumping ground” for psychiatric out-patients. Parkdale’s changing image thus stood in stark contrast to its real social conditions. Nevertheless, this image became a self-fulfilling prophecy, as it contributed to increasingly discriminatory planning practices for Parkdale in the late twentieth century.This rich and detailed history of a neighbourhood’s actual conditions, imaginary connotations, and planning policies will appeal to scholars and students in urban studies, planning, and geography, as well as to general readers interested in Toronto and Parkdale’s urban history.CAROLyN WHITzmAN is senior lecturer in Urban Planning at the University of Melbourne.

MacDonald has written an excellent case study of settlement history, ethnicity, environmental history, and public lands policy. –Donald Wetherell, author of Alberta’s North: A History 1890–1950This book explores a relatively small, but interesting and anomalous, region of Alberta between the North Saskatchewan and the Battle Rivers. The Beaver Hills arose where mountain glaciers from the west met continental ice-sheets from the east. An overview of the hills’ physiography helps us to grasp the complexity and diversity of landscapes, soil types, and vegetation communities. Ecological themes, such as climatic cycles, ground water availability, vegetation succession and the response of wildlife, and the impact of fires, shape the possibilities and provide challenges to those who have called the region home or used its varied resources: First Nations, Métis, and European immigrants.GRAHAm A. mACdONALd worked as a public historian for the Ontario Parks Branch, the Manitoba Heritage Branch, and Parks Canada, and as a heritage planner in Winnipeg.

Johnson maintains that the ways people understand and act upon land have wide implications, shaping cultures and ways of life, determining identity and polity, and creating and maintaining environmental relationships and economies. Johnson uses visual data to research and document the landscape, bringing together two usually separate areas of study. Her emphasis on landscape and ways of knowing the land provides a particular take on ecological relationships of First Peoples to land, in contrast to those of non-indigenous scientists. Trail of Story integrates detailed delineation of local knowledge of place with a broader exploration of local meanings of land.LESLIE mAIN JOHNSON is an associate professor at Athabasca University, where she teaches ethnobiology and ethnography.

In these regions, liberalism acted as an exclusionary force that enabled the use of extraordinary measures to remove Indigenous peoples from their ancestral territories. The expansion of liberalism, diverse and multifaceted in construction but undeniably debilitating in its impact on First Nations people, was facilitated, fashioned, and justified by means of disciplinary surveillance. This network, which included government officials, police officers, church representatives, and ordinary settlers, inculcated Anglo-Canadian liberal capitalist values, structures, and interests by presenting them as normal, natural, and beyond reproach. At the same time, it worked to exclude or restructure the economic, political, social, and spiritual aspects of Indigenous cultures. While none of this proceeded unchallenged, surveillance served as well to dampen, even if it could never completely quench, opposition.kEITH SmITH is Chair of the Department of First Nations Studies and teaches in the Department of History at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo, British Columbia.May 2009, 256 pages (est.), 6 × 9˝ 2 maps978-1-897425-39-8 PB 34.95 We can only transform our world through education, but many can not be reached through conventional means.

From the mid-nineteenth century onward, advocates argued that technology, as a moral force, would strengthen the ties that bound Canada to Britain and Western civilization, while opponents saw technology as a source of American power that threatened Canadian independence. This wide-ranging, engaging book examines the ideas of Anglo-Canadian theorists who saw technology as a new imperative that would either enhance or threaten the moral imperative and Canadian identity. The Technological Imperative in Canada offers new insights into the ideas of influential Canadian intellectuals such as Harold Innis, Marshall McLuhan, and George Grant and introduces readers to lesser-known but key theorists such as George Sidney Brett, Sandford Fleming, Thomas Keefer, Stephen Leacock, and Ursula Franklin. It shows how well-known individuals who are not considered philosophers of technology, such as William Lyon Mackenzie King and Northrop Frye, offered important insights into the subject, and it explores perceptions of technology among literary figures such as Thomas Haliburton, Frederick Philip Grove, Archibald Lampman, Dennis Lee, and E.J. Pratt. Highly original and seminal, this book revises the entrenched notion that Anglo-Canadian thought has been dominated by the moral imperative. It will appeal to anyone who wants a Canadian perspective on the critical subject of technology.R. dOUGLAS FRANCIS is a professor of Canadian history at the University of Calgary. NEW HARdCOvERJune 2009, 352 pages (est.), 6 × 9˝978-0-7748-1650-2 HC 85.00The birth of Canadian identity and nationalism is often associated with political and military events in the twentieth century. This incisive, richly illustrated book draws upon visual images and representations of four cultural areas – sports clubs, the William Notman Photographic Studies, winter carnivals, and the Northwest Rebellion – to demonstrate that a new, native Canadian identity emerged much earlier in Montreal between 1840 and 1885. How did British colonists in Victorian Montreal come to think of themselves as “native Canadian”? Gillian Poulter reveals that colonists adopted Aboriginal and French Canadian activities – hunting, lacrosse, snowshoeing, and tobogganing – and then imposed upon them British ideologies of order, discipline, and fair play. In the process, they constructed national attributes, or visual icons, that came to be recognized at home and abroad as distinctly “Canadian.” The new Canadian nationality mimicked indigenous characteristics but, ultimately, rejected indigenous players, and championed the interests of white, middle-class, Protestant males who used their newly acquired identity to dominate the political realm. Becoming Native in a Foreign Land demonstrates that English Canadian identity was not formed solely by emulating what was British, it gained enormous ground by usurping what was indigenous in a foreign land. It will appeal to scholars and enthusiasts of Canadian history, identity, and culture.GILLIAN POULTER is an associate professor of Canadian history at Acadia University.

CARROLL, ForEWorD by robErT boTHWELL John W. Holmes had more impact on the thinking of careful observers of Canada’s foreign policy than any other Canadian “scholar-diplomat.” Adam Chapnick’s balanced, thoughtful, and highly readable account of his “public life” tells us why. It is essential reading for anyone with an interest in Canada’s post-1945 diplomatic practice.– Denis Stairs, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, Dalhousie University This is an important biography of one of the most significant shapers of Canadian foreign policy during the post-Second World War period. In a highly engrossing manner, Adam Chapnick convincingly demonstrates how this policymaker and leading public intellectual came to personify Canadian foreign policy during some of the most critical moments of the postwar decades. – David G. Haglund, Professor of Political Studies, Queen’s UniversityIt is hard to imagine a person who embodied the ideals of postwar Canadian foreign policy more than John Wendell Holmes. Holmes joined the foreign service in 1943, headed the Canadian Institute of International Affairs from 1960 to 1973, and, as a professor of international relations, mentored a generation of students and scholars. This book is the first comprehensive biography of a diplomat and public intellectual who influenced not only how scholars and statespeople abroad viewed Canada but also how Canadians saw themselves on the world stage. Canada’s Voice offers an engrossing look at how one man shaped foreign policy during Canada’s golden age as a middle power.

Carroll ’s book is a major original contribution to the field. He shows that, although a so-called classic example of peacekeeping, UNEF has far more relevance to current Canadian operations in response to international crises than is generally thought.– W.A.B. Douglas, official historian of the Canadian Armed Forces and author of the historical report for the Department of National Defence, in 1973, on the evacuation of the UNEFIn 1957 Lester Pearson won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating the United Nations Emergency Force during the Suez Crisis. The award launched Canada’s love affair with, and reputation for, peacekeeping. Pearson’s Peacekeepers explores the reality behind the rhetoric by offering a detailed account of the UNEF’s decade-long effort to keep peace along the Egyptian-Israeli border. The operation was a tremendous achievement, yet the UNEF also encountered formidable challenges and problems. This nuanced account of Canada’s participation in the UNEF not only challenges received notions of Canadian identity and history but will also help students, policy makers, and concerned citizens to accurately evaluate international peacekeeping efforts in the present. mICHAEL CARROLL is a SDF Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Military and Strategic Studies at the University of Calgary.

BLAkEIn mixed CompanyTaverns and Public Life in Upper CanadaJULIA ROBERTSThis book demonstrates the significance of demographic knowledge to our understanding of the province’s history and its historiography. It provides another lens through which to view the history of the province.– Ruth Sandwell, author of Beyond the City Limits: Rural History in British ColumbiaIn the 240 years from contact to the present, British Columbia’s population has experienced transformations of a kind and magnitude witnessed nowhere else in North America. The introduction of exotic diseases changed the human landscape almost overnight, as did gold rushes, industrialization, two world wars, a baby boom, late 20th-century immigration from Asia, and a grey wave. Becoming British Columbia is the first comprehensive, demographic history of this province. Investigating critical moments in the demographic record and linking demographic patterns to larger social and political questions, it shows how biology, politics, and history conspire with sex, death, and migration to create a particular kind of society.

But was this program, which gave all mothers a monthly stipend to raise the nation’s babies, driven by a desire to create a kinder, gentler nation or was it more influenced by economics, constitution-making, and international trends in public policy? This book explores the family allowance phenomenon from its debut in 1929 to its demise as a universal program under the Mulroney government in 1992. Although successive federal governments remained committed to its underlying principle of universality, party politics, the bureaucracy, federal-provincial wrangling, and the shifting priorities of citizens eroded the rights-based approach to social security and replaced it with one based on need. By tracing the evolution of one social security program within a national perspective, this book sheds light on the process by which Canada’s welfare state and social policy has been transformed over the past half century.

The stories that emerge unsettle comfortable certainties about who belonged where in colonial society. Reconstructed from tavern-keepers’ accounts, court records, diaries, travelogues, and letters, In Mixed Company is essential reading for tavern aficionados and anyone interested in the history of gender, race, and culture in Canadian or colonial society. The records of the past tell stories of time spent in mixed company but also of the myriad, unequal ways that colonists found room in taverns and a place in Upper Canadian culture and society.JULIA ROBERTS is an assistant professor in the Department of History at the University of Waterloo.

This book looks at nurses and nursing in a wide range of settings from the mid-1800s to the 1970s, including indigenous women on the prairies; First World War nurses posted overseas; outpost nurses in rural and remote areas of Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Quebec; and public health nurses in Winnipeg.

How did this come about? What were the motives and methods of the people involved in both countries? Why did it come to an end? What effects did it have on the children involved and what eventually became of them? These are the questions Roy Parker explores in a meticulously researched work that brings together economic, political, social, medical, legal, administrative, and religious aspects of the story in Britain and Canada.

It is comprehensive, well organized, and makes a persuasive argument about the nature of human rights activism through the framework of social movements theory. – Brian Howe, author of Restraining Equality: Human Rights Commissions in Canada In the first major study of postwar social movement organizations in Canada, Dominique Clément provides a history of the human rights movement as seen through the eyes of two generations of activists. Drawing on newly acquired archival sources, extensive interviews, and materials released through access to information applications, Clément explores the history of organizations that emerged in the sixties and evolved into powerful lobbies for human rights. He argues that the idea of human rights has historically been highly statist while grass roots activism has been at the heart of the most profound human rights advances. dOmINIqUE CLémENT is an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Alberta.

Between 1921 and 1960, these lakes comprised a seam in the Canadian interior where industrial economies took root, transgressing political geographies and superseding the historically dominant fur trade. The state and private enterprise imported southern scientists and sojourning labourers to work the northwest, and its industrial history bears these newcomers’ imprint. The Industrial Transformation of Subarctic Canada reveals the history of human impact upon the North. It provides a baseline, grounded in historical and scientific evidence, for measuring subarctic environmental change. Liza Piper examines the sustainability of industrial economies, the value of resource exploitation in volatile ecosystems, and the human consequences of northern environmental change. She also addresses northern communities’ historic resistance to external resource development and their fight for survival in the face of intensifying environmental and economic pressures.

Socknat, co-editor of Challenge to Mars: Essays on Pacifism from 1918 to 1945The First World War’s appalling death toll and the need for a sense of equality of sacrifice on the home front led to Canada’s first experience of overseas conscription. While historians have focused on resistance to enforced military service in Quebec, this has obscured the important role of those who saw military service as incompatible with their religious or ethical beliefs. Crisis of Conscience is the first and only book about the Canadian pacifists who refused to fight in the Great War. The experience of these conscientious objectors offers insight into evolving attitudes about the rights and responsibilities of citizenship during a key period of Canadian nation building.This book will appeal to readers interested in Canadian military and peace history.

CHAN ANd dONALd FISHERIn the early nineteenth century, governments began to develop specialized educational programs – kindergartens and infant or nursery schools – to give children a head start in life. These programs hinged on new visions of childhood that originated in England and Europe, but what happened when they were transported to the colonies?This book unwinds the tangled threads of this history by drawing on a wide range of sources to trace how ideas and developments such as Rousseau’s “noble savage,” Froebel’s emphasis on activity and play, and the Industrial Revolution translated into early infant schools in England, kindergartens in Germany and the United States, and the emergence of free kindergarten systems in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It reveals how these three similar but distinct colonies developed early education systems that maintained the integrity of the ideas that inspired them but adapted them to suit local ideas, politics, and indigenous and immigrant populations.This unique account of early childhood education in comparative perspective shows how discourses and developments in the past have shaped the way we educate our children in the present.

Universities are under increasing economic pressure to develop human capital, science, and technology in support of the need for economic restructuring and international competitiveness. “Market relations” and “knowledge economies” have become key phrases in university debates over research and academic priorities, while privatization reveals tensions between public and private sectors.Pressures for capital accumulation, research commercialization, technology transfer, and academic capitalism create fractures in today’s universities by weakening boundaries separating academy and industry. Furthermore, through legislation and policy, governments have created quasi-markets that encourage institutional competition both within the public sphere and between public and private sectors.The Exchange University addresses crucial questions facing today’s university, including the commercialization of research and teaching; intensifying government-university relationships; marketization and commodification; and policy and functional responses within the academy.

This path-breaking collection brings together scholars who argue that the environmental struggles of citizens’ groups, ENGOs, First Nations, and other actors are necessarily also struggles about democracy and citizenship, and that ecological goals cannot be achieved without the democratization of existing norms and institutions. Case studies ranging from the crises of coastal fisheries, to the regulation of genetically modified crops, to opposition to urban sprawl analyze these conflicts from the perspectives of environmental justice, social movement theory, the roles of science, and institutional design.

This book’s multi-level, interdisciplinary comparative analysis yields a rich set of insights that challenge many conventional regulatory paradigms. – Michael Trebilcock, Chair in Law and Economics, University of Toronto, and co-author of The Regulation of International TradeSetting the Standard chronicles the emergence and implications of an ambitious experiment in global governance: the Forest Stewardship Council. The FSC was born in 1993 as a grassroots initiative with the goal to promote “environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world’s forests” through an international system of forest certification. The recent establishment of an FSC standard for British Columbia was achieved only after difficult and protracted negotiations at the regional, national, and global levels. Drawing on a pioneering case study of the negotiation process, this book explores the challenges associated with implementing the FSC’s global vision. It also undertakes a comparative analysis of FSC standards and standard-setting processes elsewhere in Canada and in the US and Europe, and grapples with the broader implications of the emerging FSC experience for global governance and regulatory theory.CHRIS TOLLEFSON is a professor of law at the University of Victoria.

Forests contain much of the world’s biodiversity and offer significant renewable resources with a potentially small ecological and carbon footprint. Yet as global demand for forest products increases, conserving biodiversity has become more urgent and challenging.Forestry and Biodiversity makes the case for adaptive management – a structured approach to learning by doing – to sustain biodiversity in managed forests.

Susan Dion takes up questions of (re)presenting the lived experiences of Aboriginal people in the service of pedagogy. Investigating what happened when the stories were taken up in history classrooms, she illustrates how our investments in particular identities structure how we hear and what we are “willing to know.” Braiding Histories illuminates the challenges of speaking/listening and writing/reading across cultural boundaries as an Aboriginal person to communicate Aboriginal experience through education. It will be useful to teachers and students of educational and Native Studies and will appeal to readers seeking a better understanding of colonialism and Aboriginal/non-Aboriginal relations.SUSAN d. dION is a professor in the Faculty of Education at York University.

With the arrival of the fur trade, the French of the engagés or voyageurs provided additional vocabulary and a set of viable cultural practices, a key element of which was marital bonding with Indian and métisse women. These women and their children were the first fluent speakers of Wawa. After several decades of contact, ensuing epidemics brought demographic collapse to the Chinookans. Within another decade the region was radically transformed by the Oregon Trail. Wawa had acquired its present shape, but lost its homeland. It became a diaspora language in which many communities seek some trace of their past. A previously unpublished glossary of Wawa circa 1825 is included as an appendix to this volume. Making Wawa will attract the attention of linguists, especially those involved in contact linguistics and the languages of the Pacific Northwest. It will also interest historians and other scholars interested in Native and gender studies, cross-cultural conflict, and transculturation.

He argues that the roots of today’s widespread unemployment and “welfare dependency” date only from the 1950s, when deliberate and inadvertent policy choices drove Aboriginal people out of the capitalist, wage, and subsistence economies, offering them welfare as “compensation.” Makúk invites readers into a dialogue with the past with visual imagery and an engaging narrative that gives a voice to Aboriginal people and other historical figures.

ROyThe Paradoxes of Peacebuilding Post-9/11EdITEd By STEPHEN BARANyIWhen the Second World War began, Canada had no foreign intelligence capacity. Its political leaders had concluded that a clandestine service was not necessary to meet the nation’s intelligence requirements. Yet Kurt F. Jensen argues that the country was a more active intelligence partner in the wartime alliance than has previously been suggested. Drawing on newly released materials and exhaustive research, he describes Canada’s contributions to Allied intelligence before the war began, as well as the distinctly Canadian activities that started from that point. Cautious Beginnings spans the period from 1939 to 1951, when Canada reconfigured its foreign intelligence operations to meet the challenges of a changing world, and by the early 1950s possessed resources that rivalled or exceeded those of many other nations. This is a convincing portrait of a nation with an active role in Second World War intelligence gathering, one that continues to influence the architecture of its current capabilities. This book will greatly interest students and academics in Canadian history, political science, military history, specialists in the field, and anyone interested in the often mysterious world of foreign intelligence.kURT F.

Leading scholars draw upon the most recent archival research to examine an important bilateral relationship that has matured in fits and starts over the past century. For over half a century, racist restrictions curtailed immigration from Japan, even as Canadians manoeuvred for access to the fabled wealth of the Orient. Canada’s relations with Japan have changed profoundly since then. The two countries’ political, economic, and diplomatic interests are now closely aligned and the relationship is reinforced by social and cultural ties. This portrait of a nation growing into its Pacific identity raises pointed questions about the future of Canada’s relations with Japan and the Pacific region.

The studies address two cases of relative success (Guatemala and Mozambique), three cases of renewed but deeply fraught efforts (Afghanistan, Haiti, and the Palestinian Territories), and the case of Sri Lanka, where peacebuilding was aborted but where the outlines of a new peace process can be discerned.

COLEmANGlobalization is one of the great international issues of our time. But which elements of contemporary globalization and forms of autonomy are novel and which are merely continuations of long-standing trends? Empires and Autonomy brings together a distinguished group of scholars who address these questions by focusing on historical moments that involved the establishment or protection of autonomy, moments that inevitably involved friction. By examining the dialectic between globalization and autonomy at moments ranging from the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1720 to the meeting between Reagan and Gorbachev that led to the end of the Cold War, this volume provides novel insights into changes overtaking the contemporary world.STEPHEN m.

This path-breaking book examines the institutions and organizations that mediate today’s increasingly complex relationship between globalization and autonomy. Many formal and informal institutions – from the World Trade Organization to transnational legal and financial regimes to new governance arrangements for aboriginal communities in environmentally sensitive regions – are evolving, adapting to meet new challenges, or failing to adjust rapidly enough. The globalization-autonomy metric helps to interpret such developments and clarify their implications. Global Ordering convenes an inter-disciplinary group of leading scholars to re-imagine the circumstances under which integrative systemic forces may be aligned with irreducible commitments to individual and collective autonomy.

Yet there is no consensus on why community matters or how globalization affects particular communities. What seems clear, however, is that people are seeking to claim, retain, or reconsider how they define and represent themselves, live together, and determine their futures. Autonomy in this sense has become a compelling question for communities across the world. Renegotiating Community asks what happens to the autonomy of individuals and communities in such circumstances. Original case studies show how a range of communities are renegotiating the meanings of community and autonomy while living with, and sometimes challenging, the processes of globalization. By addressing the coercive and comforting dimensions of community and the need to reconcile conflicting claims to autonomy, this book redraws the conceptual maps through which community, globalization, and autonomy are understood.dIANA BRydON is a Canada Research Chair in Globalization and Cultural Studies at the University of Manitoba.

Moving beyond traditional narratives of Aboriginal-European contact and Chinese-European relations, Renisa Mawani probes the unsettled landscape of crossracial encounters between “Indians” and “Chinese” in British Columbia history. She deftly captures the frenzied anxieties that whites harboured over ungovernable mixed-race activities, and brilliantly dissects the renewed state racisms that were born of such encounters.– Constance Backhouse, Distinguished University Professor and University Research Chair, Faculty of Law, University of OttawaReal and imagined encounters between aboriginal peoples, European colonists, Chinese migrants, and mixed-race populations produced racial anxieties that underwrote crossracial contacts in the salmon canneries, the illicit liquor trade, and the (white) slavery scare in late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century British Columbia. Colonial Proximities explores the legal and spatial strategies of rule deployed by Indian agents, missionaries, and legal authorities who aspired to restrict crossracial encounters. By connecting genealogies of aboriginal-European contact with those of Chinese migration, this book reveals that territorial dispossession and Chinese exclusion were never distinct projects but two conjunctive processes in the making of the settler regime. Drawing on archival documents and historical records, Colonial Proximities historicizes current discussions of multiculturalism and pluralism in modern settler societies by revealing how crossracial interactions in one colonial contact zone inspired juridical racial truths and forms of governance that continue to linger in contemporary racial politics. It is essential reading for students and scholars of history, anthropology, sociology, colonial/ postcolonial studies, and critical race and legal studies.RENISA mAWANI is an assistant professor of sociology at the University of British Columbia.NEW HARdCOvERMay 2009, 304 pages (est.), 6 × 9˝12 b/w photos, 2 tables978-0-7748-1633-5 HC 85.00 This volume is a major contribution to the study of constitutional politics in Canada.

This should be required reading for both specialists in the field and those with an interest in constitutional and Canadian politics.– Patrick James, Professor, University of Southern California, and coauthor of The Myth of the Sacred: The Charter, the Courts and the Politics of the Constitution in CanadaThe introduction of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982 was accompanied by much fanfare and public debate, and it remains the subject of controversy today. Contested Constitutionalism does not celebrate the Charter, it offers a critique by distinguished scholars of law and political science of its effect on democracy, judicial power, and the place of Quebec and Aboriginal peoples in Canada. Employing a diversity of methodological approaches, contributors explore three themes: governance and institutions, policy making and the courts, and citizenship and identity politics. The influence of the Charter has been profound, they conclude, but has it been beneficial? This nuanced book shifts the focus of debate from the Charter’s appropriateness to its impact – for better or worse – on political institutions, public policy, and conceptions of citizenship. It will be of interest to students and practitioners of law, public policy, and political science.CONTRIBUTORS include Dennis Baker; Sujit Choudhry; Graham Fraser; Matthew Hennigar; Janet Hiebert: Grant Huscroft; James B.

HARRISCanadian yearbook of International Law, vol. 45, 2007EdITEd By d.m. mcRAEIn a 1994 decision known as Howard, the Supreme Court of Canada held that the Aboriginal signatories to the 1923 Williams Treaties had knowingly given up not only their title to off-reserve lands but also their treaty rights to hunt and fish for food. No other First Nations in Canada have ever been found to have willingly surrendered similar rights. Peggy J. Blair gives the Howard decision considerable context. She examines federal and provincial bickering over “special rights” for Aboriginal peoples and notes how Crown policies toward Indian rights changed as settlement pressures increased. Blair argues that the Canadian courts caused a serious injustice by applying erroneous cultural assumptions in their interpretation of the evidence. In particular, they confused provincial government policy, which has historically favoured public over special rights, with the understanding of the parties at the time. Blair demonstrates that when American courts applied the same legal principles as their Canadian counterparts to a case involving similar facts, they reached the opposite conclusion. Lament for a First Nation convincingly demonstrates that what the Canadian courts considered to be strong and conclusive proof of surrender was in fact based on almost no evidence at all. PEGGy J.

She clarifies and expands the scope of radical critiques of this field ... outlining the contours of other ways of understanding identity and difference that point toward new, more progressive understandings of democracy, subjectivity, and citizenship.– Richard Day, author of Multiculturalism and the History of Canadian DiversityIn her innovative critique of political theory debates over multiculturalism and difference in Canada and the United States, Dhamoon develops an ‘account of meaning-making’ that attunes us to the complexities of power as it interfaces with cultural patterns. With new and compelling case studies, she moves us out of the linguistic focus of Kymlicka and Taylor in Canada and the religious/ethnic focus of many American tracts.– Hawley Fogg-Davis, author of The Ethics of Transracial Adoption Theories of liberal multiculturalism have come to dominate debates about identity and difference politics in contemporary western political theory. Identity/Difference Politics offers a nuanced critique of these debates by switching the focus from culture to power. Issues of power are examined through accounts of meaning-making – those processes through which meanings of difference are produced, organized, and regulated. Accounts of overlooked forms of identity/difference such as whiteness, ableism, and heteronormativity establish the analytic and normative value of Dhamoon’s alternative theoretical framework, and reveal that an exclusive preoccupation with culture can dissolve into essentialism – which too often provides a rationale for state regulation of groups deemed to be too different.RITA dHAmOON teaches in the Department of Philosophy and Political Science at the University of the Fraser Valley, British Columbia.

Until the 1970s, however, these contributions were generally overlooked. Opening Doors Wider looks at the progress made in the last forty years to raise the profile of women’s involvement in public life. The contributors focus on two questions with reference to community activism, the politics of feminist organizing, parties and elections, and the communications environment in which politicians operate. First, are the doors to participation presently open wider than they were in the past? Second, how can these doors be opened wider, both in terms of real-world participation and our scholarly understanding of public engagement? These tightly argued essays shed new light on the quality of public involvement of women in one of the world’s most stable democracies. The nuanced discussion of solutions as well as problems makes it an indispensable resource for students and practitioners of politics at all levels.CONTRIBUTORS include Caroline Andrew; Susan Banducci; Sylvia Bashevkin; Lesley Hyland Byrne; Michael Camp; Louise Carbert; Joanna Everitt; Elisabeth Gidengil; Elizabeth Goodyear-Grant; Mary-Jo Nadeau; and Manon Tremblay.SyLvIA BASHEvkIN is a professor of political science and Principal of University College at the University of Toronto.

This book will be of great interest to scholars in the fields of sociolinguistics, political science, and management and conflict studies, not to mention people in the associations studied. Language Matters is of marked significance, academically, socially, and politically.”– Jean Laponce, author of Languages and Their TerritoriesCanada is an officially bilingual country. But how do voluntary associations manage linguistic diversity? In the 1960s, a pioneering study by Vincent Lemieux and John Meisel revealed that associations were paralyzed by internal conflicts over language. Language Matters examines whether this remains the case.The contributors present case studies of diverse associations, ranging from business organizations and municipal associations to groups concerned with equality and social justice. Each contribution examines key turning points in the given association’s history and highlights how its mandate, leadership, and relationship to the federal and provincial governments shaped its response to linguistic diversity. Voluntary associations have found diverse ways to accommodate linguistic difference in Canada. Language Matters provides a deeper understanding of the language dynamic in Canada and offers solutions to groups and governments trying to manage difference. dAvId R.

Perhaps even more significantly, it makes the case that developments in the new millennium denote a new phase in the global steel business, which portends even more dramatic changes of behaviour and performance … It will make a substantial contribution to scholarship.– Peter Clancy, author of Micro-Politics and Canadian Business: Paper, Steel and the AirlinesThe steel industry occupies a strategic position in the global economy. Steel is a major, heavily traded commodity whose availability is necessary for worldwide economic development. Yet, with the introduction of new technologies and producers, particularly China, the industry has become volatile. Prices fluctuate, the industry is vulnerable to oversupply, and the cost structure encourages price warfare.Big Steel explores how the integrated steel industry is adapting to trade and international competition. The unexpected merger of the world’s two largest steelmakers, Arcelor and Mittal, portends massive consolidation as a strategy to diversify markets and stabilize a globalizing industry. Daniel Madar examines the industry’s tactical and strategic responses and the repercussions of innovation from various vantage points, including cost structures and technology, the economics of trade protection, and Paul Krugman’s Nobel Prize-winning explanation of industrial diffusion and trade. Along with the survival strategies of consolidation and protectionism, Madar considers close cooperation between steelmakers and their primary customers, the automakers.Presented in a straightforward, non-technical manner, this book describes how one strategic industry has adapted to powerful technological and structural changes, ushering in a new phase in the global steel business. Big Steel will appeal to scholars and policy-makers who are interested in trade, competition, globalization, and industrial policy. dANIEL mAdAR is a professor of political science at Brock University.NEW HARdCOvER April 2009, 256 pages, 6 × 9˝7 figures, 7 graphs978-0-7748-1665-6 HC 85.00POLITICAL SCIENCESpring 2009 | order online @ www.ubcpress.ca26 | Unless specified, prices are in CAD in Canada and USD elsewhere..Electing a diverse Canada The representation of Immigrants, Minorities, and WomenEdITEd By CAROLINE ANdREW, JOHN BILES, myER SIEmIATyCkI, ANd ERIN TOLLEyThe OECd and Transnational GovernanceEdITEd By RIANNE mAHON ANd STEPHEN mCBRIdEThe Provinces and Canadian Foreign Trade PolicyCHRISTOPHER J. kUkUCHAElecting a Diverse Canada is a “must read” and a potential classic in its field.

The introspective, insular, and largely atheoretical style that informed Canadian political science for most of the postwar period has given way to a deeper engagement with, and integration into, the global field of comparative politics. This volume is the first sustained attempt to describe, analyze, and assess the “comparative turn” in Canadian political science. Canada’s engagement with comparative politics is examined with a focus on three central questions: In what ways, and how successfully, have Canadian scholars contributed to the study of comparative politics? How does the study of the Canadian case have the unique potential to advance the comparative discipline? Finally, can Canadian practice and policy be reproduced in other countries? The depth and scope of analysis in The Comparative Turn will inform graduate students and scholars. Its accessible style will make the book useful to undergraduate courses in Canadian and comparative politics and to other readers interested in these topics. LINdA A.

By treating scale as an important form of spatialization – one that has its own contradictions and dynamics – the contributors bring a new sensibility to bear on classicial and contemporary concerns in political economy, ranging from the role of the nation-state to social movement politics and aboriginal self-governance, from environmental concerns to urban development, and from public health to child care.

Who should mend these spaces, and how should they approach the problem?Thinking Planning and Urbanism meticulously reconstructs the process of an urban core-area redevelopment in order to show how city planning was involved in the decisions taken. Inspired by Times Square, Toronto wanted the Dundas Square area to capture entertainment and impulse spending by tourists and residents. As with similar redevelopments in Europe and the United States, a labyrinth of players, policies, and legislation – conflicting theories, arguments, and ambitions – eventually sidelined the public-planning function. The usual explanation in these cases is that the influence of money and politics superseded the planning process. But this book exposes the cracks in planning itself, revealing how its theories – based on the premise that space is a social construction – do not help practicing planners, who need a broader understanding of urbanism in which to find and persuasively argue for creative solutions to post-industrial problems. The findings drawn from this case will be widely recognized in redevelopment challenges elsewhere, and thus will be extremely useful to students and practitioners of urban design, public administration, municipal law, and urban and regional planning.BETH mOORE mILROy is former director of the School of Urban and Regional Planning and professor emerita at Ryerson University, Toronto.

Carolyn Whitzman tracks Parkdale’s story across three eras: its early decades as a politically independent suburb of the industrial city; its half-century of ostensible decline toward becoming a slum; and a post-industrial period of transformation into a revitalized urban village. This book also shows how Parkdale’s image influenced planning policy for the neighbourhood.Whitzman demonstrates that image and reality have not always correlated for Parkdale. For example, even while its reputation as a gentrified area grew in the post-sixties era, the overall health and income of the neighbourhood’s residents was in fact decreasing, and the area attracted media coverage as a “dumping ground” for psychiatric out-patients. Parkdale’s changing image thus stood in stark contrast to its real social conditions. Nevertheless, this image became a self-fulfilling prophecy, as it contributed to increasingly discriminatory planning practices for Parkdale in the late twentieth century.This rich and detailed history of a neighbourhood’s actual conditions, imaginary connotations, and planning policies will appeal to scholars and students in urban studies, planning, and geography, as well as to general readers interested in Toronto and Parkdale’s urban history.CAROLyN WHITzmAN is senior lecturer in Urban Planning at the University of Melbourne.

The Beaver Hills arose where mountain glaciers from the west met continental ice-sheets from the east. An overview of the hills’ physiography helps us to grasp the complexity and diversity of landscapes, soil types, and vegetation communities.

Johnson maintains that the ways people understand and act upon land have wide implications, shaping cultures and ways of life, determining identity and polity, and creating and maintaining environmental relationships and economies. Johnson uses visual data to research and document the landscape, bringing together two usually separate areas of study.

In these regions, liberalism acted as an exclusionary force that enabled the use of extraordinary measures to remove Indigenous peoples from their ancestral territories. The expansion of liberalism, diverse and multifaceted in construction but undeniably debilitating in its impact on First Nations people, was facilitated, fashioned, and justified by means of disciplinary surveillance. This network, which included government officials, police officers, church representatives, and ordinary settlers, inculcated Anglo-Canadian liberal capitalist values, structures, and interests by presenting them as normal, natural, and beyond reproach. At the same time, it worked to exclude or restructure the economic, political, social, and spiritual aspects of Indigenous cultures. While none of this proceeded unchallenged, surveillance served as well to dampen, even if it could never completely quench, opposition.kEITH SmITH is Chair of the Department of First Nations Studies and teaches in the Department of History at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo, British Columbia.May 2009, 256 pages (est.), 6 × 9˝ 2 maps978-1-897425-39-8 PB 34.95 We can only transform our world through education, but many can not be reached through conventional means.

The Bedaux Expedition, which celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2009, is one of the most unusual events in the province’s history.Bob White was there. A cowboy who took part in the expedition, he describes the hardships of the journey, the beauty of the untouched wilderness, and the few inhabitants of the area. Whether he is recalling a winter snowshoe and dogsled trip or an adventure-filled summer journey, White’s memoirs take us to the campfire stories of people who were part of the vast wilderness of a different age.BOB WHITE (1902–86) was born and raised in rural southwestern Saskatchewan. He eventually headed west, trapping and working on pack trains in northern Alberta and BC, where he was hired to work for Charles Bedaux.

At the height of steamship travel in the late 1800s and early 1900s, passengers enjoyed a sit-down dinner served on china with silver flatware. Today, the only places you can still find this china is at flea markets and antique shops or by diving at old dock sites and on shipwrecks. Pacific Coast Ship China identifies and dates shipping china used along the Pacific Coast of North America. It covers china used on vessels and in-shore establishments of shipping organizations registered in Alaska, the Yukon Territory, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, and Hawaii; it describes patterns used in coastal, intercoastal, and transpacific services. In addition to passenger vessels, it documents the china used by freighter operations, oil companies, government services, and yacht clubs.This easy-to-use guide identifies more than 280 china patterns. It provides collectors, museum technicians, divers, history buffs, and anyone else interested in identifying and dating Pacific Coast ship china with all the information they need. It also includes brief descriptions of 59 Pacific Coast shipping companies.PREvIOUSLy ANNOUNCEdOctober 2008, 240 pages, 8 1/2 × 10˝400+ colour and 60 b/w photographs978-0-7726-5979-8 HC 80.00The royal bC Museum publishes books on the First Nations, history and natural history of british Columbia, and on the activities, exhibits and collections of the museum and archives.order online @ www.ubcpress.ca | Spring 2009 37BACkLIST – ASIAN STUdIES / CANAdIAN HISTORy / mILITARy HISTORyResisting ManchukuoChinese Women Writers and the Japanese OccupationNorman Smith2007, paperback978-0-7748-1336-5PB $32.95The Chinese State at the Borders Diana Lary (ed.)2007, paperback978-0-7748-1334-1PB $32.95The Triumph of CitizenshipThe Japanese and Chinese in Canada, 1941–67 Patricia E.
