Veterans with a Vision provides a vibrant, poignant, and very human history of Canada’s war-blinded veterans and of the organization they founded in 1922, the Sir Arthur Pearson Association of War Blinded. Serge Durflinger details the veterans’ process of civil re-establishment, physical and psychological rehabilitation, and social and personal coping and describes their public advocacy for government pension entitlements, job retraining, and other social programs.

This cultural history of the amateur military tradi-tion, however, traces the origins of the citizen soldier ideal to long before Canadians donned khaki and boarded troopships for the Western Front. Before the Great War, Canada's military culture was in transition as the country navigated an uncertain relationship with the United States and fought an imperial War in South Africa. Militia Myths explores the ideological transformation that took place between 1896 and 1921, arguing that by the end of the War, the untrained citizen volunteer had replaced the long-serving militia-man as the archetypical Canadian soldier.James Wood teaches history at the University of Victoria and is the author of We Move Only Forward: Canada, the United States, and the First Special Service Force, 1942-44 and Army of the West: The Weekly Reports of German Army Group B from Normandy to the West Wall.March 2010, 384 pages, 6 x 9"27 b&w photos978-0-7748-1765-3 hC $90.00military history / Canadian historySTUDieS iN CANADiAN MiLiTARy HiSTORy SeRieSThis ground-breaking book brings to a life a forgotten chapter in the history of Canada and Russia – the journey of 4,200 Canadian soldiers from Victoria to Vladivostok in 1918 to help defeat Bolshevism. Combining military and labour history with the social history of BC, Quebec, and Russia, Benjamin isitt examines how the Siberian expedition exacerbated tensions within Canadian society at a time when a radicalized working class, many French-Canadians, and even the soldiers themselves objected to a military adven-ture designed to counter the Russian Revolution. The result is a highly readable and provocative work that challenges public memory of the First World War while illuminating tensions – both in Canada and worldwide – that shaped the course of twentieth-century history. benJamin isitt is an assistant professor and postdoctoral fellow in the Department of History at the University of Victoria.

Officials have endlessly debated the implica-tions – at home and abroad – of participation. Drawing on previously classified government documents and interviews with senior officials, James Fergusson offers the first full account of Canada's unsure response to US initiatives. He reveals that factors such as weak leadership and a tendency to place uncertain and ill-defined notions of international peace and security before national defence resulted in indecision. in the end, policy-makers failed to transform the ballistic missile defence issue into an opportunity to define Canada's strategic interests at home and on the world stage.James G.

Aaron Plamondon connects this incident to the larger story of the evolution of the defence procurement process in Canada since Confederation. He reveals that partisan politics, rather than a desire to increase the military's capabilities, have driven the nation's military procurement process.

Sixty-three letters and four fragments survived. These letters tell the compelling story of a man who, while helping his fellow Canadians make history at Vimy, Lens, Passchendaele, and Amiens, used letters home to remain a presence in the lives of his wife and children, and who drew strength from his family to appreciate life's simple pleasures. Timmins's letters offer a rare glimpse into the experiences and relationships, the quiet heroism, of ordinary soldiers on the Western Front. Kiss the kids for dad offers us new insight into the multiple themes and narratives that underpin the First World War experience: the role of the civilian-soldier in war, the horror and brutality of trench warfare, the boredom and banality of military service.

When the UN established a peacekeeping operation to deal with the crisis, the Canadian government faced a difficult decision. Should it support the intervention? By offering one of the first detailed accounts of Canadian involvement in a UN peacekeeping mission, Kevin Spooner reveals that Canada's involvement was not a certainty: the Diefenbaker government had immediate and ongoing reservations about the mission, reservations that challenge cherished notions of Canada's commitment to the UN and its status as a peacekeeper.

Carroll, foreword by robert bothwellin 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 achieve-ment, yet the UNeF also encountered formidable challenges and problems. This nuanced account of Canada's participation in the UNeF not only challenges perceived 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. Carroll's book is a major original contribution to the field.

By telling stories in their chosen medium and genre about life here or about events and figures from the past, she shows that artists help us to understand the Canadian landscape and to create a shared history.This passionate and evocative study teaches us how to enjoy the cold, how to vanish, and how to celebrate our elusive state of "being" in the mag-nificent imaginative construct we call Canada.– Aritha van Herksherrill GraCe is a professor of english at the University of British Columbia.

The Practice of Execution in Canada is not about what led some to the gallows and others to escape it. it is about the taken-for-granted rituals and practices of execution, seen as a social institution. Drawing on hundreds of fascinating case files, Ken Leyton-Brown shows that each phase of the practice of execution – from the trial to interment of the body – was constrained by law and tradition. But the institution was not rigid. As criticism and reform pushed executions out of the public eye, they were emptied of meaningful ritual and became more vulnerable to criticism.

But women have always engaged in business. Who were these women, and how were they able to justify their work outside the home? The Business of Women explores the world of those women who embraced British Columbia's frontier ethos in the early twentieth century. Contrary to expectation, the typical businesswoman was not unmarried or particularly rebellious, but a woman reconciling her entrepreneurship with her identity as a wife, mother, or widow. Buddle offers a unique and important contribution to Canadian history … She seeks not only to incorporate women into the history of business … but also to reconceptualize business history itself by asking new questions about gender, business, and the family. Business history needs to undergo a gender "revolution."

This exploration of the role of history writing in colonialism and nation building will appeal to anyone interested in the history of British Columbia, the Pacific Northwest, and history writing in Canada.Historians, as Reimer eloquently shows, played an essential role in the colonization of British Columbia and the maintenance of minority rule by a capitalist, Anglo, male elite through the late 20th century. – John Sutton Lutz, author of Makúk: A New History of Aboriginal-White RelationsChad reimer received his PhD in history from york University and works as an independent researcher and author in Chilliwack, BC.PreViously announCedOctober 2009, 216 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-1644-1 hC $85.00Canadian history / bC studies / historioGraPhyHistorians have long engaged in passionate debate about collective memory and national identity. Alan Gordon focuses on one national hero – Jacques Cartier – to explore how notions about the past have been passed from generation to generation in english- and French-speaking Canada and used to present particular ideas about the world. Nineteenth-century celebrations of Cartier reflected a new understanding of history that accompanied the arrival of moder-nity in North America. This sensibility, in turn, influenced the political and cultural currents of nation building in Canada. Cartier was a point of contact between english and French Canada, but the nature of that contact, as Gordon shows, had profound limitations.Cartier is one of those rare heroes who have figured in both French- and English-speaking representations of the past. By showing the different ways this came about and the different purposes for which Cartier has been made to serve, this important and engaging book connects two historiographies within Canada as it speaks to issues of relevance to an international audience.– H.V.

This richly illustrated work reveals that colonists adopted, then appropriated, Aboriginal and French Canadian activities such as hunting, lacrosse, snowshoeing, and tobog-ganing. in the process, they constructed visual icons that were 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. This book shows that english Canadian identity gained ground by usurping what was indigenous in the fertile landscape of a foreign land.

From the mid-nineteenth century onward, advocates argued that techno-logy, 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. The Technological Imperative in Canada offers new insights into the ideas of influential Canadian theorists of technology such as Harold innis and Marshall McLuhan and introduces readers to the ideas and perceptions of lesser-known but key figures such as Sandford Fleming, Stephen Leacock, and e.J.

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 charts the life of a diplomat and public intellectual who influenced both how scholars and statespeople abroad viewed Canada and how Canadians saw themselves on the world stage. John W. Holmes had more impact on the thinking of careful observers of Canada's foreign policy than any other Canadian "scholar-diplomat."

When it collapsed in 1992, fishermen, scholars, and scientists pointed to failures in management such as uncontrolled harvesting as likely culprits. Managed Annihilation makes the case that the idea of natural resource management itself was the problem. The collapse occurred when the fisheries were state managed and still, nearly two decades later, there is no recovery in sight. Although the collapse raised doubts among policy-makers about their ability to understand, predict, and control nature, their ultimate goal of control through management has not wavered – it has simply been transferred from wild fish to fishermen and farmed cod. Unlike other efforts to make sense of the tragedy of the commons of the northern cod fishery and its halting recovery, Bavington calls into question the very premise of management and managerial ecology and offers a critical explanation that seeks to uncover alternatives obscured by this dominant way of relating to nature.– Bonnie McCay, Department of Human ecology, Rutgers Universitydean l.y. baVinGton is an assistant professor and Canada Research Chair in environmental History at Nipissing University.May 2010, 192 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-1747-9 hC $85.00enVironmental studies / historyNATURe | HiSTORy | SOCieTy SeRieSthe nurture of natureChildhood, antimodernism, and ontario summer Camps, 1920–55sharon WallCanada's Voicethe public Life of John wendell holmesadam Chapnickmanaged annihilationan unnatural history of the newfoundland Cod Collapsedean l.y. bavington8 spring 2010 | order online @ www.ubcpress.ca order online @ www.ubcpress.ca | spring 2010 9 enVironmental studiesenVironmental studiesenVironmental studies the aquaculture Controversy in Canadaactivism, policy, and Contested sciencenathan young and ralph matthewsThe farming of aquatic organisms is one of the most promising but controversial new industries in Canada.

But the spectre of a worldwide water crisis suggests that our understanding of water must be reassessed. Jamie Linton explores the history of water as an abstract concept, stripped of its environmental, social, and cultural contexts.

Nuclear Waste Management in Canada provides a critical counterpoint to the favourable position of government and industry by examining not only the technical but also the social and ethical aspects of the issue. What do frequently used terms such as safety, risk, and acceptability really mean? And how and why did the public consultation process in Canada fail to address ethical and social issues? This timely collection defuses the uncertainty, ambiguity, and ignorance that surrounds discussions of nuclear energy.This book is a solid contribution to the political sci-ence of public consultation, a strong message to the Canadian nuclear industry, and a sophisticated source of support for individuals and groups who wish to challenge basic assumptions we should never take for granted.– Peter Stoett, Concordia Universitydarrin durant is an assistant professor in the Program in Science and Technology Studies at york University.

This path-breaking book offers a perspective on Aboriginal title that extends beyond national borders to consider similar developments in common law countries.

Contributors interrogate notions of crime and processes of criminalization in five areas – the selective criminalization of gambling, the enforcement of fraud among physicians and welfare recipients, the enforcement of laws against Aboriginal harvesting practices, and perceptions of disorder in public housing projects. By demonstrating that defini-tions of crime are connected to social location and status, these case studies and an afterword by Marie-Andrée Bertrand challenge us to consider just who is rendered criminal and why.

By focusing on these points of contact, this book forges critical links between histories of migration and dispossession. The book highlights the legal and spatial strategies of rule mobilized by indian agents, missionaries, and legal authorities who sought to restrict crossracial encounters. Mawani illustrates how interracial proximities in one colonial contact zone inspired the production of juridical racial truths and modes of governance that continue to linger in the racial politics of contemporary settler societies. This book offers fascinating new perspectives on the roots of Canadian racism. Moving beyond traditional narratives of Aboriginal-European contact and Chinese-European relations, Renisa Mawani probes the unsettled landscape of cross-racial encounters between "indians" and "Chinese" in BC history.

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 regu-lated. Other forms of identity/difference such as whiteness, ableism, gender, and heteronormativ-ity 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. 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 Adoptionrita dhamoon teaches political science at the University of the Fraser Valley. neW in PaPerbaCKJanuary 2010, 208 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-1591-8 Pb $29.95978-0-7748-1590-1 hC $85.00PolitiCal sCienCe / PolitiCal theory / soCioloGyCanada is an officially bilingual country.

Language Matters presents case studies of well-established and newer associa-tions to determine whether this has changed. Contributors examine key turning points in the given association's history and highlight how its mandate, leadership, and relationship to the federal and provincial governments shaped its response to linguistic diversity.

China's prodigious expansion of steel output increases the industry's natural vulnerability to oversupply and volatile prices. And the merger of the two largest steelmakers, Arcelor and Mittal, portends consolidation as a prime strategy for diversification and stabilization. This book examines the competition and survival strategies of the integrated steel industry from various vantage points including cost structures and technology, export pricing strategies, the economics of trade protection, Paul Krugman’s Nobel Prize-winning explanation of industrial diffusion and trade, and the prospects of coop-erating closely with automakers. The industry's future, Big Steel shows, is cosmopolitan.Big Steel explores an industry that has been in near continual transformation for a generation or more and captures the shape and structure of these changes. 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. – Peter Clancy, St. Francis Xavier University daniel madar is a professor of political science at Brock University.neW in PaPerbaCKJanuary 2010, 248 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-1666-3 Pb $32.95978-0-7748-1665-6 hC $85.00PolitiCal sCienCe / PolitiCal eConomyGlobalization has challenged relationships of rule in local, regional, national, and international settings. This unsettling of legitimacy raises questions. Under what conditions do individuals and communities accept globalized decision making as legitimate? And what political practices do individuals and collectivities under globalization use to exercise autonomy? To answer these questions, the contributors explore the disruptions and reconfigurations of political authority that accompany globalization. Arguing that we live in an era in which political legitimacy at multiple scales of authority is under strain, they show that globalization has also created demands for regulation, security, and the protection of rights and expressions of individual and collective autonomy.steVen bernstein is an associate professor of political science and associate director of the Centre for international Studies at the University of Toronto.

This book brings together a distinguished group of scholars who address these questions by focusing on historical moments that involved the establish-ment 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. streeter is an associate profes-sor in the Department of History at McMaster University.

Many Mi'kmaw communities rejected or amended the legislation, while others accepted it sporadically to meet specific community needs and goals.

Since the mid-twentieth century, sustained contact between inuit and newcomers in the eastern Arctic has led to profound changes in education, including the experience of colonization and the re-establishment of traditional education in schools. With an emphasis on cultural negotia-tion, decision making, and the role of tradition, Heather McGregor assesses these trends as they played out over four periods – the traditional, the colonial (1945-70), the territorial (1971-84), and the local (1985-99). She concludes that educa-tion is most successful when inuit involvement and local control support a system that reflects inuit culture and inuit visions for the future.In April 2008 Inuit Tapiritsat Kanatmi, the pan-Canadian Inuit political organization, called a national summit to address the failure of current schooling to meet the academic, social, and cul-tural needs of Inuit students in formal schooling in the four Inuit regions of Canada.

Sex and the Revitalized City examines the truth of these claims by exploring the phenomenon from the perspective of women condo owners and planners and developers. This fresh perspective on urban revitalization reveals that condo ownership is not freeing women from constraints – neoliberal ideologies are remak-ing women's relationship with the city in the image of fast capital and consumer citizenship.

Carolyn Whitzman tracks Parkdale’s story across three eras: its early decades as a politically indepen-dent suburb of the industrial city; its half-century of ostensible decline toward becoming a slum; and its post-industrial period of transforma-tion 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. Parkdale’s chang-ing image 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.Carolyn Whitzman is a senior lecturer in urban planning at the University of Melbourne.neW in PaPerbaCKJanuary 2010, 240 pages, 6 x 9"5 maps, 7 b&w photos978-0-7748-1536-9 Pb $29.95978-0-7748-1535-2 hC $85.00urban studies / PlanninG / Canadian history reconstructing Kobethe geography of Crisis and opportunitydavid W. edgingtonsuburb, slum, urban Villagetransformations in toronto's parkdale neighbourhood, 1875–2002Carolyn Whitzman 24 spring 2010 | order online @ www.ubcpress.ca order online @ www.ubcpress.ca | spring 2010 25 soCioloGysoCioloGyurban studiesWhen manufacturers and retailers vacate tradi-tional locations, they leave holes in a city's fabric that signal a shifting urban-industrial terrain.

The monuments were grassroots initiatives that challenged the norms of civic art by claiming a place in public space for society's most vulner-able groups, and each figured in debates about violence. emphasizing the resilience and agency of artists, activists, and residents, this vivid account of the creation of memory-scapes offers unique insights into the links between power, public space, and social memory. it asks us to reconsider what constitutes public art that will “speak for a long time.”adrienne l. burK is a senior lecturer in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Simon Fraser University.April 2010, 192 pages, 6 x 9"19 b&w images, 3 maps978-0-7748-1698-4 hC $85.00soCioloGy / urban studies / human GeoGraPhy Trade unions in Canada are losing their traditional support base, and membership numbers could sink to US levels unless unions recapture their power. Unions, Equity, and the Path to Renewal brings together a distinguished group of union activists and equity scholars who trace how tra-ditional union cultures, practices, and structures have eroded solidarity and activism and created an equity deficit in Canadian unions. informed by a feminist vision of unions as instruments of social justice, the contributors argue that equity within unions is not simply one possible path to union renewal – it is the only way to reposi-tion organized labour as a central institution in workers’ lives.JaniCe r.

This book explores how surveillance, often disguised as risk management or harm reduction, can also cause a range of social and political problems. Canadian scholars from diverse disciplines interrogate the moral and ideo-logical bases and material effects of surveillance in policing, consumerism, welfare administration, disaster management, popular culture, moral regulation, news media, social movements, and anti-terrorism campaigns. In this sprightly volume, the wide tires of surveillance theory and propaganda meet the reality inducing roads of critical conceptual and empirical inquiry. 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.

The Chinese government had taken over administration of the Russian-founded Chinese eastern Railway concession, and its large Russian population. This account of the decade-long multi-ethnic and multi-national administrative experiment in North Manchuria reveals that China not only created policies to promote Chinese sovereignty, but also instituted measures to protect the Russian minority. This multi-faceted book is a historical examination of how an ethnic, cultural, and racial majority coexisted with a minority of a different culture and race. it restores to history the multiple national influences that have shaped northern China and Chinese nationalism.blaine r.

Suddenly, Beijing was forced to confront internal challenges to its authority at its border as well as internation-al competition for energy and authority in Central Asia. Hasan Karrar traces how China cooperated with Russia and the Central Asian republics to stabilize the region, facilitate commerce, and build an energy infrastructure to import the region's oil. While China's gradualist approach to Central Asia prioritized multilateral diplomacy, it also brought Beijing into direct competition with the United States, which views Central Asia as vital to its strategic interests.hasan h.

Chapters by scholars of Chinese history and art and by artists whose careers were shaped by the Cultural Revolution offer new insights into works that have transcended their times.The passage of time and passion, as well as the availability of new materials, bring a new focus to work on the Cultural Revolution. Memoirs of participants put a human face on the decade-long movement.

Alcohol production and consumption, its members argued, led to suicide, bankruptcy, and child abandonment. The campaign was part of a wide-ranging reform program to oppose licensed prostitution, eradicate drinking and smoking, im-prove the lives of women, and spread Christianity. As elizabeth Dorn Lublin argues, the WCTU's activism belies received notions of women in Meiji Japan. Far from being politically submissive, members felt a duty to shape government policy and believed that their moral values and religious beliefs were essential to their vision. They did not passively accept and propagate government policy – they defined social problems and tried to shape official solutions.elizabeth dorn lublin is an assistant professor of history at Wayne State University.April 2010, 256 pages, 6 x 9"10 b&w photos978-0-7748-1816-2 hC $85.00asian studies / Gender studiesASiAN ReLiGiONS AND SOCieTy SeRieSart in turmoilthe Chinese Cultural revolution, 1966–76edited by richard Kingasian religions in british Columbiaedited by larry deVries, don baker, and dan overmyerreforming Japanthe woman's Christian temperance union in the Meiji periodelizabeth dorn lublin28 spring 2010 | order online @ www.ubcpress.ca order online @ www.ubcpress.ca | spring 2010 29 au Pressau Pressasian studies american missionaries, Christian Oyatoi, and Japan, 1859–73hamish ionJapan closed its doors to foreigners for over two hundred years because of religious and political instability caused by Christianity. By 1859, foreign residents were once again living in treaty ports in Japan, but edicts banning Christianity remained enforced until 1873. Drawing on an impressive array of english and Japanese sources, ion investigates a crucial era in the history of Japanese-American relations – the formation of Protestant missions. He reveals that the transmission of values and beliefs was not a simple matter of acceptance or rejection: missionaries and Christian laymen persisted in the face of open hostility and served as important liaisons between east and West. hamish ion is a professor of history at the Royal Military College of Canada.PreViously announCedOctober 2009, 440 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-1647-2 hC $90.00asian studies / history / reliGious studiesASiAN ReLiGiONS AND SOCieTy SeRieSThe biography of Marie-Louise Bouchard Labelle tells of a young Canadian woman from a humble background at the turn of the twentieth century.

As her book took shape, a community emerged from the records, re-casting history and identity in the present. Drawing on the experiences of mixed-Maori/White families, Wanhalla examines the early history of southern New Zealand. There, Ngäi Tahu engaged with the european newcomers on a sustained scale from the 1820s, encountering systematic settlement from the 1840s, and fighting land alienation from the 1850s. The evolving social world was one framed by mar-riage, kinship networks, and cultural practices – a world in which inter-racial intimacy played a formative role. anGela Wanhalla is an award-winning scholar and lectures in history at the University of Otago.

Veterans with a Vision provides a vibrant, poignant, and very human history of Canada’s war-blinded veterans and of the organization they founded in 1922, the Sir Arthur Pearson Association of War Blinded. Serge Durflinger details the veterans’ process of civil re-establishment, physical and psychological rehabilitation, and social and personal coping and describes their public advocacy for government pension entitlements, job retraining, and other social programs.

This cultural history of the amateur military tradi-tion, however, traces the origins of the citizen soldier ideal to long before Canadians donned khaki and boarded troopships for the Western Front. Before the Great War, Canada's military culture was in transition as the country navigated an uncertain relationship with the United States and fought an imperial War in South Africa. Militia Myths explores the ideological transformation that took place between 1896 and 1921, arguing that by the end of the War, the untrained citizen volunteer had replaced the long-serving militia-man as the archetypical Canadian soldier.James Wood teaches history at the University of Victoria and is the author of We Move Only Forward: Canada, the United States, and the First Special Service Force, 1942-44 and Army of the West: The Weekly Reports of German Army Group B from Normandy to the West Wall.March 2010, 384 pages, 6 x 9"27 b&w photos978-0-7748-1765-3 hC $90.00military history / Canadian historySTUDieS iN CANADiAN MiLiTARy HiSTORy SeRieSThis ground-breaking book brings to a life a forgotten chapter in the history of Canada and Russia – the journey of 4,200 Canadian soldiers from Victoria to Vladivostok in 1918 to help defeat Bolshevism. Combining military and labour history with the social history of BC, Quebec, and Russia, Benjamin isitt examines how the Siberian expedition exacerbated tensions within Canadian society at a time when a radicalized working class, many French-Canadians, and even the soldiers themselves objected to a military adven-ture designed to counter the Russian Revolution. The result is a highly readable and provocative work that challenges public memory of the First World War while illuminating tensions – both in Canada and worldwide – that shaped the course of twentieth-century history. benJamin isitt is an assistant professor and postdoctoral fellow in the Department of History at the University of Victoria.

Officials have endlessly debated the implica-tions – at home and abroad – of participation. Drawing on previously classified government documents and interviews with senior officials, James Fergusson offers the first full account of Canada's unsure response to US initiatives. He reveals that factors such as weak leadership and a tendency to place uncertain and ill-defined notions of international peace and security before national defence resulted in indecision. in the end, policy-makers failed to transform the ballistic missile defence issue into an opportunity to define Canada's strategic interests at home and on the world stage.James G.

Aaron Plamondon connects this incident to the larger story of the evolution of the defence procurement process in Canada since Confederation. He reveals that partisan politics, rather than a desire to increase the military's capabilities, have driven the nation's military procurement process. A fascinating saga of the government playing havoc with weapons acquisition, this book offers an explanation for, and clues for resolving, the under-equipped state of Canada's military.aaron Plamondon teaches Canadian and military history at the University of Calgary and Mount Royal University.

Sixty-three letters and four fragments survived. These letters tell the compelling story of a man who, while helping his fellow Canadians make history at Vimy, Lens, Passchendaele, and Amiens, used letters home to remain a presence in the lives of his wife and children, and who drew strength from his family to appreciate life's simple pleasures. Timmins's letters offer a rare glimpse into the experiences and relationships, the quiet heroism, of ordinary soldiers on the Western Front. Kiss the kids for dad offers us new insight into the multiple themes and narratives that underpin the First World War experience: the role of the civilian-soldier in war, the horror and brutality of trench warfare, the boredom and banality of military service.

When the UN established a peacekeeping operation to deal with the crisis, the Canadian government faced a difficult decision. Should it support the intervention? By offering one of the first detailed accounts of Canadian involvement in a UN peacekeeping mission, Kevin Spooner reveals that Canada's involvement was not a certainty: the Diefenbaker government had immediate and ongoing reservations about the mission, reservations that challenge cherished notions of Canada's commitment to the UN and its status as a peacekeeper.

Carroll, foreword by robert bothwellin 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 achieve-ment, yet the UNeF also encountered formidable challenges and problems. This nuanced account of Canada's participation in the UNeF not only challenges perceived 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. 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 opera-tions in response to international crises than is generally thought.– W.A.B.

He did not consider what the arts can tell us about being Canadian or about being ourselves. Sherrill Grace traces how painters, writers, and filmmakers have shaped Canadian identity in three fields of representation that are staples in Canadian culture – the North, iconic national figures, and war. By telling stories in their chosen medium and genre about life here or about events and figures from the past, she shows that artists help us to understand the Canadian landscape and to create a shared history.This passionate and evocative study teaches us how to enjoy the cold, how to vanish, and how to celebrate our elusive state of "being" in the mag-nificent imaginative construct we call Canada.– Aritha van Herksherrill GraCe is a professor of english at the University of British Columbia.

The Practice of Execution in Canada is not about what led some to the gallows and others to escape it. it is about the taken-for-granted rituals and practices of execution, seen as a social institution. Drawing on hundreds of fascinating case files, Ken Leyton-Brown shows that each phase of the practice of execution – from the trial to interment of the body – was constrained by law and tradition. But the institution was not rigid. As criticism and reform pushed executions out of the public eye, they were emptied of meaningful ritual and became more vulnerable to criticism. Comprehensive and absorbing, this groundbreak-ing study is for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of contemporary debates on capital punishment.Ken leyton-broWn is an associate professor in the History Department at the University of Regina.May 2010, 256 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-1753-0 hC $85.00Canadian history / laWon the art of being Canadiansherrill Gracethe Practice of execution in CanadaKen leyton-brown4 spring 2010 | order online @ www.ubcpress.ca order online @ www.ubcpress.ca | spring 2010 5 Canadian historyCanadian historyCanadian historyThroughout history, Western women have inhabited a conceptual space divorced from the world of business. But women have always engaged in business. Who were these women, and how were they able to justify their work outside the home? The Business of Women explores the world of those women who embraced British Columbia's frontier ethos in the early twentieth century. Contrary to expectation, the typical businesswoman was not unmarried or particularly rebellious, but a woman reconciling her entrepreneurship with her identity as a wife, mother, or widow. Buddle offers a unique and important contribution to Canadian history … She seeks not only to incorporate women into the history of business … but also to reconceptualize business history itself by asking new questions about gender, business, and the family. Business history needs to undergo a gender "revolution." This book will promote such rethinking of the field.– Lori Chambers, author of Married Women and Property Law in Victorian Ontariomelanie buddle is an instructor and academic advisor at Trent University.May 2010, 200 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-1813-1 hC $85.00Canadian history / Gender studies Captain James Cook first made contact with the area now known as British Columbia in 1778. The colonists who followed soon realized they needed a written history, both to justify their dispossession of Aboriginal peoples and to formulate an identity for a new settler society. Writing British Columbia History traces how euro-Canadian historians took up this task, and struggled with the newness of colonial society and overlapping ties to the British empire, the United States, and Canada. This exploration of the role of history writing in colonialism and nation building will appeal to anyone interested in the history of British Columbia, the Pacific Northwest, and history writing in Canada.Historians, as Reimer eloquently shows, played an essential role in the colonization of British Columbia and the maintenance of minority rule by a capitalist, Anglo, male elite through the late 20th century. – John Sutton Lutz, author of Makúk: A New History of Aboriginal-White RelationsChad reimer received his PhD in history from york University and works as an independent researcher and author in Chilliwack, BC.PreViously announCedOctober 2009, 216 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-1644-1 hC $85.00Canadian history / bC studies / historioGraPhyHistorians have long engaged in passionate debate about collective memory and national identity. Alan Gordon focuses on one national hero – Jacques Cartier – to explore how notions about the past have been passed from generation to generation in english- and French-speaking Canada and used to present particular ideas about the world. Nineteenth-century celebrations of Cartier reflected a new understanding of history that accompanied the arrival of moder-nity in North America. This sensibility, in turn, influenced the political and cultural currents of nation building in Canada. Cartier was a point of contact between english and French Canada, but the nature of that contact, as Gordon shows, had profound limitations.Cartier is one of those rare heroes who have figured in both French- and English-speaking representations of the past. By showing the different ways this came about and the different purposes for which Cartier has been made to serve, this important and engaging book connects two historiographies within Canada as it speaks to issues of relevance to an international audience.– H.V.

This book explores Canadian-indonesian relations to determine whether Canada's postwar foreign policy was guided by an overarching set of altruistic principles. it shows that Canada remained a loyal member of the Western alliance. Canada wanted developing countries to follow its own non-revo-lutionary model of decolonization and paid little attention to violations of human rights.

This richly illustrated work reveals that colonists adopted, then appropriated, Aboriginal and French Canadian activities such as hunting, lacrosse, snowshoeing, and tobog-ganing. in the process, they constructed visual icons that were 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. This book shows that english Canadian identity gained ground by usurping what was indigenous in the fertile landscape of a foreign land. This book, both innovative and provocative, will have a significant impact on our understanding of the relationship between sport and national identity construction in Canada.

This wide-ranging, engaging book examines the ideas of Anglo-Canadian theorists who saw technology as a new im-perative that would either enhance or threaten the moral imperative. From the mid-nineteenth century onward, advocates argued that techno-logy, 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. The Technological Imperative in Canada offers new insights into the ideas of influential Canadian theorists of technology such as Harold innis and Marshall McLuhan and introduces readers to the ideas and perceptions of lesser-known but key figures such as Sandford Fleming, Stephen Leacock, and e.J.

The Nurture of Nature explores how com-peting cultural tendencies – antimodern nostalgia and modern sensibilities about the landscape, child rearing, and identity – shaped the develop-ment of summer camps and, consequently, modern social life in North America. A valuable resource for those interested in the connections between the history of childhood, the natural environment, and recreation, this book will also appeal to anyone who has been packed off to camp and wants to explore why.

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 charts the life of a diplomat and public intellectual who influenced both how scholars and statespeople abroad viewed Canada and how Canadians saw themselves on the world stage. John W. Holmes had more impact on the thinking of careful observers of Canada's foreign policy than any other Canadian "scholar-diplomat."

When it collapsed in 1992, fishermen, scholars, and scientists pointed to failures in management such as uncontrolled harvesting as likely culprits. Managed Annihilation makes the case that the idea of natural resource management itself was the problem. The collapse occurred when the fisheries were state managed and still, nearly two decades later, there is no recovery in sight. Although the collapse raised doubts among policy-makers about their ability to understand, predict, and control nature, their ultimate goal of control through management has not wavered – it has simply been transferred from wild fish to fishermen and farmed cod. Unlike other efforts to make sense of the tragedy of the commons of the northern cod fishery and its halting recovery, Bavington calls into question the very premise of management and managerial ecology and offers a critical explanation that seeks to uncover alternatives obscured by this dominant way of relating to nature.– Bonnie McCay, Department of Human ecology, Rutgers Universitydean l.y. baVinGton is an assistant professor and Canada Research Chair in environmental History at Nipissing University.May 2010, 192 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-1747-9 hC $85.00enVironmental studies / historyNATURe | HiSTORy | SOCieTy SeRieSthe nurture of natureChildhood, antimodernism, and ontario summer Camps, 1920–55sharon WallCanada's Voicethe public Life of John wendell holmesadam Chapnickmanaged annihilationan unnatural history of the newfoundland Cod Collapsedean l.y. bavington8 spring 2010 | order online @ www.ubcpress.ca order online @ www.ubcpress.ca | spring 2010 9 enVironmental studiesenVironmental studiesenVironmental studies the aquaculture Controversy in Canadaactivism, policy, and Contested sciencenathan young and ralph matthewsThe farming of aquatic organisms is one of the most promising but controversial new industries in Canada. The industry has the potential to solve food supply problems, but critics believe it poses unacceptable threats to human health, local communities, and the environment. This book is not about the methods and techniques of aquaculture but an exploration of the controversy itself. Rather than choosing sides, Nathan young and Ralph Matthews present the controversy as a multi-layered conflict about knowledge, rights, and development.

But the spectre of a worldwide water crisis suggests that our understanding of water must be reassessed. Jamie Linton explores the history of water as an abstract concept, stripped of its environmental, social, and cultural contexts. Reduced to a scientific abstraction – to mere H20 – this concept has given modern society licence to dam, divert, and manipulate water with apparent impunity. Part of the solution to the water crisis involves reinvesting water with social content, thus altering the way we see water.

By focusing on these points of contact, this book forges critical links between histories of migration and dispossession. The book highlights the legal and spatial strategies of rule mobilized by indian agents, missionaries, and legal authorities who sought to restrict crossracial encounters. Mawani illustrates how interracial proximities in one colonial contact zone inspired the production of juridical racial truths and modes of governance that continue to linger in the racial politics of contemporary settler societies. This book offers fascinating new perspectives on the roots of Canadian racism. Moving beyond traditional narratives of Aboriginal-European contact and Chinese-European relations, Renisa Mawani probes the unsettled landscape of cross-racial encounters between "indians" and "Chinese" in BC 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, University of Ottawarenisa maWani is an assistant professor of sociology at the University of British Columbia.neW in PaPerbaCKJanuary 2010, 288 pages, 6 x 9"16 b&w photos978-0-7748-1634-2 Pb $32.95978-0-7748-1633-5 hC $90.00laW / anthroPoloGy / aboriGinal studiesLAW AND SOCieTy SeRieSCanada is at a critical juncture in the evolution of its communications policy.

Deliberative democrats want politics to be more than a clash of contending interests, and they believe political decisions should emerge from reasoned dialogue among citizens. But can these ideals be realized in complex and unjust societies? This book brings together leading scholars who explore debates in deliberative democratic theory in four areas of practice: education, constitutions and state boundaries, indigenous-settler relations, and citizen participation and public consultation.

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 regu-lated. Other forms of identity/difference such as whiteness, ableism, gender, and heteronormativ-ity 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. 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 Adoptionrita dhamoon teaches political science at the University of the Fraser Valley. neW in PaPerbaCKJanuary 2010, 208 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-1591-8 Pb $29.95978-0-7748-1590-1 hC $85.00PolitiCal sCienCe / PolitiCal theory / soCioloGyCanada is an officially bilingual country.

China's prodigious expansion of steel output increases the industry's natural vulnerability to oversupply and volatile prices. And the merger of the two largest steelmakers, Arcelor and Mittal, portends consolidation as a prime strategy for diversification and stabilization. This book examines the competition and survival strategies of the integrated steel industry from various vantage points including cost structures and technology, export pricing strategies, the economics of trade protection, Paul Krugman’s Nobel Prize-winning explanation of industrial diffusion and trade, and the prospects of coop-erating closely with automakers. The industry's future, Big Steel shows, is cosmopolitan.Big Steel explores an industry that has been in near continual transformation for a generation or more and captures the shape and structure of these changes. 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. – Peter Clancy, St. Francis Xavier University daniel madar is a professor of political science at Brock University.neW in PaPerbaCKJanuary 2010, 248 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-1666-3 Pb $32.95978-0-7748-1665-6 hC $85.00PolitiCal sCienCe / PolitiCal eConomyGlobalization has challenged relationships of rule in local, regional, national, and international settings.

And what political practices do individuals and collectivities under globalization use to exercise autonomy? To answer these questions, the contributors explore the disruptions and reconfigurations of political authority that accompany globalization. Arguing that we live in an era in which political legitimacy at multiple scales of authority is under strain, they show that globalization has also created demands for regulation, security, and the protection of rights and expressions of individual and collective autonomy.steVen bernstein is an associate professor of political science and associate director of the Centre for international Studies at the University of Toronto.

Since the mid-twentieth century, sustained contact between inuit and newcomers in the eastern Arctic has led to profound changes in education, including the experience of colonization and the re-establishment of traditional education in schools. With an emphasis on cultural negotia-tion, decision making, and the role of tradition, Heather McGregor assesses these trends as they played out over four periods – the traditional, the colonial (1945-70), the territorial (1971-84), and the local (1985-99). She concludes that educa-tion is most successful when inuit involvement and local control support a system that reflects inuit culture and inuit visions for the future.In April 2008 Inuit Tapiritsat Kanatmi, the pan-Canadian Inuit political organization, called a national summit to address the failure of current schooling to meet the academic, social, and cul-tural needs of Inuit students in formal schooling in the four Inuit regions of Canada.

But have all children benefited from these programs and initiatives? Lost Kids examines adults' misgivings about, and the inadequate care of, vulnerable children. From explorations of interracial adoption and the treatment of children with disabilities to discussions of the cultural construction of the hopeless child, this multifaceted collection rejects the essentialism of the "priceless child" or "lost youth" – simplistic categories that continue to shape the treatment of those who deviate from the so-called norm.The volume editors all teach at the University of British Columbia. mona Gleason is an associate professor in the Department of educational Studies, tamara myers and leslie Paris are associate professors in the Department of History, and VeroniCa stronG-boaG is a professor in the Women’s Studies and educational Studies departments.

Historians have turned the spotlight on upper-middle-class "romantic friends" and on working-class butch and femme women, but the lives of the lower-middle-class majority remain in the shadows. Awfully Devoted Women offers a nuanced portrait of middle-class lesbianism in the decades before the gay rights movement in english Canada. This intimate study of the lives of women who were forced to love in secret not only challenges the idea that lesbian relation-ships in the past were asexual, it also reveals the courage it took to explore desire in an era when women were supposed to know little about sexuality.Cameron duder teaches history at Capilano University in Vancouver.May 2010, 288 pages, 6 x 9"978-0-7748-1738-7 hC $85.00Gender & sexuality studies / Canadian historySeXUALiTy STUDieS SeRieSFrom the 1950s to the late 1990s, agents of the state spied on, interrogated, and harassed gays and lesbians in Canada, employing social ideolo-gies and other practices to construct their targets as threats to society.

Sex and the Revitalized City examines the truth of these claims by exploring the phenomenon from the perspective of women condo owners and planners and developers. This fresh perspective on urban revitalization reveals that condo ownership is not freeing women from constraints – neoliberal ideologies are remak-ing women's relationship with the city in the image of fast capital and consumer citizenship. Women's emancipation through condominium ownership is a marketing ploy rather than a major shift in gender relations.leslie Kern is an assistant professor of women's studies at Mount Allison University.April 2010, 224 pages, 6 x 9"13 b&w photos978-0-7748-1822-3 hC $85.00urban studies / human GeoGraPhy / Gender studiesSix thousand people died and hundreds of thousands lost their homes when the Hanshin earthquake hit Kobe in 1995. it was the largest disaster in postwar Japan and, until Hurricane Katrina, the largest postwar natural disaster to strike a developed country. The media focused only on the quake's immediate effects, and the long-term reconstruction efforts remain a story untold. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, David edgington records the first ten years of reconstruction and recovery and asks whether planners successfully exploited opportunities to make a more sustainable and disaster-proof city.

Carolyn Whitzman tracks Parkdale’s story across three eras: its early decades as a politically indepen-dent suburb of the industrial city; its half-century of ostensible decline toward becoming a slum; and its post-industrial period of transforma-tion 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. Parkdale’s chang-ing image 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.Carolyn Whitzman is a senior lecturer in urban planning at the University of Melbourne.neW in PaPerbaCKJanuary 2010, 240 pages, 6 x 9"5 maps, 7 b&w photos978-0-7748-1536-9 Pb $29.95978-0-7748-1535-2 hC $85.00urban studies / PlanninG / Canadian history reconstructing Kobethe geography of Crisis and opportunitydavid W. edgingtonsuburb, slum, urban Villagetransformations in toronto's parkdale neighbourhood, 1875–2002Carolyn Whitzman 24 spring 2010 | order online @ www.ubcpress.ca order online @ www.ubcpress.ca | spring 2010 25 soCioloGysoCioloGyurban studiesWhen manufacturers and retailers vacate tradi-tional locations, they leave holes in a city's fabric that signal a shifting urban-industrial terrain. Who should mend these spaces, and how should they approach the problem? Using Toronto's Dundas Square and surrounding area as a case study, this book meticulously reconstructs the redevelopment process to explore the theories and practices used. it traces the labyrinth of competing interests that can sideline and nearly overwhelm the public planning function. in these circumstances, Moore Milroy concludes that practising planners are marooned by planning theories that begin from the premise that urban space is a social construction and only second-arily a function of technology and aesthetics. beth moore milroy, professor emerita, is former director of the School of Urban and Regional Planning at Ryerson University and a Fellow of the Canadian institute of Planners.neW in PaPerbaCKJanuary 2010, 336 pages, 6 x 9"22 b&w photos, 8 maps978-0-7748-1615-1 Pb $34.95978-0-7748-1614-4 hC $85.00urban studies / PlanninGin the late 1990s, Vancouver's Downtown eastside became the setting for three monu-ments – Crab Park Boulder, Marker of Change, and Standing with Courage, Strength and Pride.

This book explores how surveillance, often disguised as risk management or harm reduction, can also cause a range of social and political problems. Canadian scholars from diverse disciplines interrogate the moral and ideo-logical bases and material effects of surveillance in policing, consumerism, welfare administration, disaster management, popular culture, moral regulation, news media, social movements, and anti-terrorism campaigns. In this sprightly volume, the wide tires of surveillance theory and propaganda meet the reality inducing roads of critical conceptual and empirical inquiry. 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.

Hasan Karrar traces how China cooperated with Russia and the Central Asian republics to stabilize the region, facilitate commerce, and build an energy infrastructure to import the region's oil. While China's gradualist approach to Central Asia prioritized multilateral diplomacy, it also brought Beijing into direct competition with the United States, which views Central Asia as vital to its strategic interests.hasan h.

Alcohol production and consumption, its members argued, led to suicide, bankruptcy, and child abandonment. The campaign was part of a wide-ranging reform program to oppose licensed prostitution, eradicate drinking and smoking, im-prove the lives of women, and spread Christianity. As elizabeth Dorn Lublin argues, the WCTU's activism belies received notions of women in Meiji Japan. Far from being politically submissive, members felt a duty to shape government policy and believed that their moral values and religious beliefs were essential to their vision.

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 charts the life of a diplomat and public intellectual who influenced both how scholars and statespeople abroad viewed Canada and how Canadians saw themselves on the world stage. 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 and how it came to be interpreted by government officials and independent observers alike.– Denis stairs, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, Dalhousie UniversityadaM ChaPniCK is the deputy director of educa-tion at the Canadian Forces College and an as-sistant professor of defence studies at the Royal Military College of Canada. neW in PaPerbaCKNovember 2009, 384 pages, 6 x 9"15 b&w photos978-0-7748-1672-4 Pb $32.95978-0-7748-1671-7 hC $85.00history / bioGraPhyUBC PRESSBetween 1916 and 1918, Lance-Corporal George Timmins, a British-born soldier who served in the Canadian Expeditionary Force, wrote faithfully to his wife and children. Sixty-three letters and four fragments survived. These letters tell the compelling story of a man who, while helping his fellow Canadians make history at Vimy, Lens, Passchendaele, and Amiens, used letters home to remain a presence in the lives of his wife and children, and who drew strength from his family to appreciate life’s simple pleasures. Timmins’s letters offer a rare glimpse into the experiences and relationships, the quiet heroism, of ordinary soldiers on the Western Front. Kiss the kids for dad offers us new insight into the multiple themes and narratives that underpin the First World War experience: the role of the civilian-soldier in war, the horror and brutality of trench warfare, the boredom and banality of military service. Timmins's letters, framed within a solid historical background, also reveal his personal struggle with having left his family behind to fend for themselves in Canada. – tim cook, author of Shock Troops: Canadians Fighting the Great War, 1917-1918 (volume 2)y.a. bennett is an associate professor of history at Carleton University.neW in PaPerbaCKJanuary 2010, 224 pages, 6 x 9"24 b&w photos978-0-7748-1609-0 Pb $32.95978-0-7748-1608-3 hC $85.00history / MilitaryUBC PRESSIn 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 de-tailed account of the UNEF’s decade-long effort to keep peace along the Egyptian-Israeli border. This nuanced account of Canada’s participation in the UNEF challenges perceived notions of Canadian identity and history.Pearson's Peacekeepers brilliantly sums up the significance of the UNEF experience, which was both a failure and a wonderful achievement. 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.

I felt a slight sting in my right temple as though pricked by a red-hot needle – and then the world became black. Dawn was now breaking, but night had sealed my eyes.– James rawlinson, blinded at Vimy, 1917Books written about the conflict record major political decisions and their results; they speak of generals, and of heroes.

Veterans with a Vision provides a vibrant, poignant, and very human history of Canada’s war-blinded veterans and of the organization they founded in 1922, the Sir Arthur Pearson Association of War Blinded.

This richly illustrated work reveals that colonists adopted, then appropriated, Aboriginal and French Canadian activities such as hunting, lacrosse, snowshoeing, and tobogganing. In the process, they constructed visual icons that were recog-nized at home and abroad as distinctly "Canadian." The new Canadian nationality mimicked in-digenous 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. English Canadian identity was not formed solely by emulating what was British, this book shows that it gained ground by usurping what was indigenous in a foreign land. This book, both innovative and provocative, will have a significant impact on our understanding of the relationship between sport and national identity construction in Canada. It not only will add to the scholarly debate in the field, it will help shape and direct such debate in the future.– Colin D.

Who should mend these spaces, and how should they approach the problem? Using Toronto's Dundas Square and surrounding area as a case study, Thinking Planning and Urbanism meticulously re-constructs the redevelopment process to explore the theories and practices used. It traces the laby-rinth of competing interests that can sideline and nearly overwhelm the public planning function. In these circumstances, Moore Milroy concludes that practising planners are marooned by planning theories that begin from the premise that urban space is a social construction and only secondarily a function of technology and aesthetics. beth Moore Milroy, professor emerita, is for-mer director of the School of Urban and Regional Planning at Ryerson University and a Fellow of the Canadian Institute of Planners.January 2010, 336 pages, 6 x 9"22 b&w photos, 8 maps978-0-7748-1615-1 Pb $34.95978-0-7748-1614-4 hC $85.00urban studies / PlanninGUBC PRESSthinking Planning and urbanismbeth Moore MilroyThis 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. 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.The Technological Imperative in Canada offers new insights into the ideas of influential Canadian theorists of technology such as Harold Innis and Marshall McLuhan and introduces readers to the ideas and perceptions of lesser-known but key figures such as Sandford Fleming, Stephen Leacock, and E.J.

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-de-termination, an alternative model for negotiations.

This book offers a nuanced critique of these de-bates by switching the focus from culture to power. Issues of power are examined through accounts of meaning-making – processes through which mean-ings of difference are produced, organized, and regulated. Other forms of identity/difference such as ableism, gender, and heteronormativity establish Dhamoon’s alternative theoretical framework, re-vealing 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. Dhamoon develops an "account of meaning-making" that attunes us to the complexities of power as it interfaces with cultural patterns.

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. This book focuses on two questions. 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 understanding of public engagement? These tightly argued writings shed new light on the public involvement of wom-en in one of the world's most stable democracies. sylVia basheVKin is a professor of political science and Principal of University College at the University of Toronto.

The Pacific Flyway is the westernmost of the four major North American bird migration routes and millions of birds travel it each year to winter and summer ranges. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the farmlands along the flyway were irrigated using the wetlands, and as a result the US Fish and Wildlife Service established refuges within these radically transformed landscapes in order to sustain migratory birds. In a time when global warming promises to compound the stress on water and migratory species, this book demon-strates the need to foster landscapes where both wildlife and people can thrive.

Because the process of ecosystem diminishment and species loss has been slowed, an ecological thermostat has been kept alive, which may well be an important defence against future climate change impacts in the Canadian west.Previously announcedFebruary 2010, 380 pages, 7.5 x 9.5"colour photos throughout978-1-897425-57-2 Pb $44.95nature / ParKs / historyAU PRESS (ATHABASCA UNIVERSITy)letters from the lostA Memoir of Discoveryhelen Waldstein WilkesIn 1939, Helen Waldstein’s family left Prague for Canada where they learned to speak English, became farmers, and forgot they were Jewish. The family they left behind could only send letters after the Nazis closed in. Through the war years, letters kept coming to their southern Ontario farm.
