Our authors’ works have a constant and intellectually kinetic influence on our understanding of Canada as a land of many nations and a home to many peoples, of diverse geography and human culture, of laws and struggles, of rights and relationships, of achievements and atrocities, and, the necessary prologues to ongoing learning and transformation. UBC Press has always been and remains a shared endeavour. Books are born of discussion – sometimes over years – between authors and acquisitions editors. A work’s merit is furthered by peer reviewers and the discerning assessment of the UBC Press Publications Board. Manuscripts are shaped by the experience of production editors, as well as freelancers, and then made known through the creativity of marketing initiatives. Booksellers and librarians fill their shelves, physical and digital, with our publications and those who review the books assess whether, in their view, the choices made were wise (in our view, they always are!). Readers, in all ways, have the final word.Incorporating greater diversity and inclusion throughout the Press’s undertakings is critical to its future success. A leader on that path is the recently launched RavenSpace, a digital publishing model for collaborative authorship between Indigenous communities and researchers. It is with excitement and a strength of purpose that we look forward to UBC Press’s next half-century and responding to the changing dynamic and needs of the academy as it engages with broader public conversations.The cumulative energy that brings UBC Press to its robust fiftieth year is exhilarating. We thank the University of British Columbia for creating and supporting a university press and to everyone, each and all, who has contributed along the way.Melissa PittsDirector, UBC Press50University of British Columbia Press2related titlesThe Way HomeDavid A.

MICHAEL NICOLL YAHGULANAAS is a visual artist and author. He is the creator of Haida manga, an artistic genre that crosses cultures and disciplines.Mischief MakingMichael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, Art, and the Seriousness of PlayNicola Levell, with Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas; foreword by Nobuhiro KishigimiIn a gorgeously illustrated exploration of the art of Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, Mischief Making disproves any notion that play is frivolous. Deploying playful and punning tactics, Yahgulanaas shines a spotlight on serious topics.Expressive and exuberant, comic and imaginative: these characteristics suffuse the work of the internationally recognized creator of Haida manga. His distinctive style stretches, twists, and flips the formlines of classic Haida art to create imagery that resonates with the graphic vitality of Asian manga. Mischief Making delineates the evolution of the artist’s visual practice into a uniquely hybrid aesthetic, uncovering its philosophical underpinnings. This engaging, beautiful book reveals the artist’s deep understanding of the seriousness of play. As he investigates the intersections of Indigenous and other world views, the politics of land, cultural heritage, and global ecology, Yahgulanaas disrupts the expected, allowing different ways of experiencing, knowing, and seeing the world to emerge.ubcpress.ca / Fall 2021 3related titlesCreative Subversions: Whiteness, Indigeneity, and the National ImaginaryMargot Francis978-0-7748-2026-4Photography, Memory, and Refugee Identity: The Voyage of the SS Walnut, 1948Lynda Mannik978-0-7748-2445-3I N D I G E N O US A RTNOVEMBER 2021322 pages, 6.5 x 9.5 in., 67 b&w photos978-0-7748-6661-3 PB $45.00also available as an e-bookART HISTORY / PHOTOGRAPHY / CULTURAL STUDIES / HISTORY / INDIGENOUS STUDIES / MUSEUM STUDIESSIGRID LIEN is a professor of art history at the University of Bergen, Norway, and a former Fulbright scholar.

Through moving and powerful case studies, contributors analyze photographic practices and heritage related to Indigenous communities in Canada, Australia, Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the United States. In the process, they call attention to how Indigenous people are using old photographs in new ways to empower themselves, revitalize community identity, and decolonize the colonial record.The original research presented in Adjusting the Lens offers a transnational perspective on this emerging field in Indigenous photography studies. It is an exciting collection that challenges old ways of thinking and meaningfully advances the crucially important project of reclamation.University of British Columbia Press4related titlesIt’s All Good (Unless It’s Not): Mental Health Tips and Self-Care Strategies for Your Undergrad YearsNicole Malette 978-0-7748-3901-3How to Succeed at University (and Get a Great Job!): Mastering the Critical Skills You Need for School, Work, and LifeThomas R.

She is a counsellor and professor at Mount Royal University and an adjunct professor at the University of Calgary. You @ the UA Guided Tour through Your First Year of UniversityJanet Miller; foreword by Elder Roy Bear ChiefIf you’re gearing up for university, you probably have a few fears and concerns. Am I smart enough? How do I know which major is a good choice? How can I make friends, get good grades, and still get enough sleep? Whether you’re making the transition to university straight out of high school or have taken a gap year (or a few!), this guided tour through first year demystifies the process, from registering for class and making the most of orientation to knowing when to pull an all-nighter and making time to prep for exams. University is supposed to be challenging, but, as Janet Miller promises, it doesn’t need to be stressful or overwhelming. As a university counsellor and registered psychologist with a behind-closed-doors view of university life, she understands that when students have guidance and support – when they know what to expect – they thrive. With wit and wisdom, she shares what she’s learned from thousands of students who have walked the campus hallways before you. This book doesn’t tell you what you should do. It tells you what you need to know so you can follow in their footsteps and hit your own stride.ubcpress.ca / Fall 2021 5related titlesAm I Safe Here?

ClarkeA principal forbids same-sex prom dates. A community group tries to prohibit gender-neutral bathrooms. Despite growing acceptance of 2SLGBTQ+ rights, Canadian schools regularly become battlegrounds in clashes between students wishing to express their sexuality or gender identity and those who perceive this as a threat to their values.Making the Case clearly shows how Canadian law responds to “competing” human rights claims, when there is a clash between people asserting sexual minority rights and those asserting religious rights. The authors call on related court cases to explain the position of Canadian law. They demonstrate that Canadians have rights to religion and rights to gender expression or sexual orientation; and that supporting sexual minority rights does not undermine other people’s rights to religious freedom.This accessible book is an important tool for anyone working to create an inclusive school environment, or needing to respond to a rights-based conflict within their school.

McDonald; foreword by Tina LooPolarized. Partisan. The BC political landscape has been characterized by divisiveness since Confederation. As outsized personalities from Amor De Cosmos to W.A.C. Bennett dominated the halls of power, militant radicals and reformers took to the streets and hustings. A Long Way to Paradise traces the evolution of political ideas from 1871 to 1972 to explore British Columbia’s journey to socio-political maturity, answering both why and how British Columbia became Canada’s most fractious province. Robert McDonald explains its classic left-right divide as a product of “common sense” liberalism that also shaped how British Columbians met the challenges of a modernizing world. McDonald tackles key questions: Why were the Liberal and Conservative parties obliterated in the 1950s? What can account for Bennett’s decades-long reign? And why did parties as diametrically opposed as Social Credit and the NDP succeed? This lively overview provides fresh insight into the fascinating story of provincial politics in Canada’s lotus land.ubcpress.ca / Fall 2021 7N E W I N PA P E R B AC KThe Shoe Boy: A Trapline MemoirDuncan McCue978-0-7748-8057-2From Where I Stand: Rebuilding Indigenous Nations for a Stronger CanadaJody Wilson-Raybould978-0-7748-8053-4Written as I Remember It: Teachings (Ɂəms tɑɁɑw) from the Life of a Sliammon ElderElsie Paul, with Paige Raibmon and Harmony Johnson978-0-7748-2711-9HIGHLIGHTS IN INDIGENOUS STUDIESTruth and ConvictionDonald Marshall Jr. and the Mi’kmaw Quest for JusticeL. Jane McMillan“Jane McMillan has written an admirable, engaging, and formidable book about an Indigenous man’s quest for justice against the systemic injustices of Canada.” — SÁKÉJ HENDERSON, Research Fellow, Native Law Centre of Canada, University of Saskatchewan In the fall of 2020, tensions erupted between Indigenous and non-Indigenous commercial fishermen over lobster fishing in Nova Scotia. Headlines about the confrontation, in which a lobster plant was burned to the ground and catches made by Indigenous fishers were destroyed or released, were seen around the world. The Indigenous fishers stated they were being attacked for exercising their legal treaty rights, backed up by the 1999 Supreme Court’s Marshall decision. This is the story of Donald Marshall Jr. and his lifelong fight against injustice. His legacy lives on as Mi’kmaq continue to assert their rights and build justice programs grounded in customary laws and practices.L.

In Ours by Every Law of Right and Justice, Sarah Carter challenges the myth that grateful male legislators simply handed women the vote when it was asked for. Settler suffragists worked long and hard to overcome obstacles and persuade doubters. But even as they petitioned for the vote for their sisters, they often approved of that same right being denied to “foreigners” and Indigenous peoples. By situating the suffragists’ struggle in the colonial history of Prairie Canada, this powerful and passionate book shows that the right to vote meant different things to different people.SARAH CARTER is the author of numerous books and articles on the history of women and First Nations in Prairie Canada, including Imperial Plots: Women, Land, and the Spadework of British Colonialism on the Canadian Prairies.

The Laws and the LandThe Settler Colonial Invasion of Kahnawà:ke in Nineteenth-Century CanadaDaniel RückAs the settler state of Canada expanded into Indigenous lands, settlers dispossessed Indigenous nations and undermined their sovereignty. The Laws and the Land shows how Canada invaded one Indigenous community, Kahnawà:ke, where settler law clashed with Indigenous law in a bruising series of asymmetrical encounters over land use and ownership. The Laws and the Land delineates the route from pre-contact and early contact ways of sharing land to the establishment of Kahnawà:ke within the French seigneurial system, land use and regulation under Kahnawà:ke law, and ultimately the colonizing push to impose the Indian Act and private property. What Daniel Rück describes is little short of an invasion spearheaded by bureaucrats, Indian agents, politicians, surveyors, and entrepreneurs. This original, meticulously researched book is deeply connected to larger issues of membership in Indigenous nations, communal versus individual property rights, governance, and inequality. It is the story of Canada’s legal and environmental conquest of Indigenous peoples and lands, and the persistence of one Indigenous nation.This book is co-published in association with the Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History.University of British Columbia Press10related titlesTrustees at Work: Financial Pressures, Emotional Labour, and Canadian Bankruptcy Law Anna Jane Samis Lund 978-0-7748-6142-7Privacy in Peril: Hunter v Southam and the Drift from Reasonable Search Protections Richard Jochelson and David Ireland 978-0-7748-6258-5L E GA L H I STO RYOCTOBER 2021208 pages, 5.5 x 8.5 in., 7 b&w photos, 3 tables978-0-7748-6729-0 PB $27.95978-0-7748-6728-3 HC $75.00also available as an e-bookLEGAL HISTORY / CANADIAN HISTORY / POLITICAL SCIENCESERIES: Landmark Cases in Canadian LawTHOMAS G.W.

Telfer and Virginia Torrie; foreword by Iain RamsayThe legal meaning of bankruptcy and insolvency law has often remained elusive, even to practitioners and scholars in the field, despite having been enshrined in Canada’s Constitution since Confederation. Federal power in this area must be measured against provincial jurisdiction over property and civil rights, among others. Debt and Federalism traces changing conceptions of the bankruptcy and insolvency power through four landmark cases that form the constitutional foundation of the Canadian bankruptcy system: the 1894 Voluntary Assignments case, Royal Bank of Canada v Larue in 1928, the 1934 Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act Reference, and the 1937 Farmers’ Creditors Arrangement Act Reference. Together, these decisions ultimately produced the bedrock for modern understandings of bankruptcy and insolvency law. Thomas G.W. Telfer and Virginia Torrie draw on archival and legal sources to analyze the decisions from a historical and doctrinal perspective. This astute book demonstrates that the legal changes introduced by these landmark cases underpin contemporary bankruptcy and insolvency law and scholarship. ubcpress.ca / Fall 2021 11related titlesDefending Battered Women on Trial: Lessons from the Transcripts Elizabeth A.

This is an important and impressive work.”— CONSTANCE BACKHOUSE, professor of law, University of Ottawa An RCMP sting caught Nicole Doucet (Ryan) trying to hire a hitman to kill her ex-husband. It was supposed to be an open-and-shut case. It wasn’t.No Legal Way Out details the judicial process, media coverage, and legal implications of R v Ryan. Appealed up to the Supreme Court of Canada, Doucet’s initial acquittal – on the basis of duress in the context of abuse – was overturned, but a stay of proceedings meant that she could not be tried again. The court castigated the RCMP for not protecting her, prompting a one-sided investigation that ultimately exonerated the force and garnered substantial critical media attention for Doucet.R v Ryan limited the legal options for women seeking to escape abuse and had a profoundly negative impact on public perceptions of domestic violence. This unabashedly feminist analysis explains why the court, the police, and the media let down all women trapped by intimate partner terrorism.University of British Columbia Press12related titlesBy Law or In Justice: The Indian Specific Claims Commission and the Struggle for Indigenous Justice Jane Dickson 978-0-7748-8006-0Unsettling the Settler Within: Indian Residential Schools, Truth Telling, and Reconciliation in Canada Paulette Regan 978-0-7748-1778-3LA WOCTOBER 2021268 pages, 6 x 9 in.978-0-7748-6665-1 HC $89.95also available as an e-bookLAW / PUBLIC POLICY & ADMINISTRATION / SOCIO-LEGAL STUDIES / CANADIAN HISTORYSERIES: Law and SocietyKIM STANTON is a Canadian lawyer and a scholar of commissions of inquiry.

Whether it is a public inquiry, truth commission, or royal commission, the chosen leadership and processes fundamentally affect its ability to achieve its mandate.

It is a must-read for scholars as well as public officials and judges.”— SUZANNE COMTOIS, professor, Faculty of Law, Université de Sherbrooke In an era where government transparency and accountability are considered fundamental values, does Cabinet secrecy still have a place? The legal and political rules that protect the confidentiality of collective decision making at the highest level of the state executive have come under increasing scrutiny in Canada.Behind Closed Doors is the first comprehensive work on this controversial doctrine. Yan Campagnolo defends the practice of Cabinet secrecy by demonstrating that it is essential to the proper functioning of responsible government, while finding that the statutory provisions that support secrecy at the federal level are excessively broad and quite possibly unconstitutional. Employing a comparative analysis of the rules that apply provincially in Canada and in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, this meticulous work proposes a feasible solution: specific reforms that would achieve a better balance between transparency and confidentiality.14 University of British Columbia PressPOLITICAL SCIENCEN E W I N PA P E R B AC KOCTOBER 2021268 pages, 6 x 9 in.978-0-7748-6556-2 PB $32.95978-0-7748-6555-5 HC $89.95also available as an e-bookINTERNATIONAL LAW / CHINA STUDIES / HUMAN RIGHTS LAW SERIES: Asia Pacific Legal Culture and GlobalizationExporting Virtue?China’s International Human Rights Activism in the Age of Xi JinpingPitman B.

Some cinematic representations, however, and the women-in-prison genre especially, can generate complex legal meanings and leave viewers feeling unsettled about women’s incarceration. Focusing on five exemplary films and one television series, Orange Is the New Black, from 1933 to the present, Women, Film, and Law asks how fictional representations explore, shape, and refine beliefs about women’s incarceration. Suzanne Bouclin convincingly argues that popular depictions of women’s prisons can illuminate multiple forms of marginalization and oppression experienced by women in conflict with the law.SUZANNE BOUCLIN is an associate professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Ottawa.NOVEMBER 2021224 pages, 6 x 9 in., 7 b&w photos978-0-7748-6587-6 PB $32.95978-0-7748-6586-9 HC $75.00also available as an e-bookSOCIO-LEGAL STUDIES / WOMEN’S STUDIES / FILM STUDIESSERIES: Law and SocietyINTERNATIONAL LAWLAWubcpress.ca / Fall 2021 15Incorporating Culture: How Indigenous People Are Reshaping the Northwest Coast Art IndustrySolen Roth978-0-7748-3739-2Switchbacks: Art, Ownership, and Nuxalk National IdentityJennifer Kramer978-0-7748-1228-3related titlesI N D I G E N O US A RTOCTOBER 2021224 pages, 6 x 9 in., 28 b&w photos978-0-7748-6655-2 HC $89.95also available as an e-bookINDIGENOUS STUDIES / INDIGENOUS ART / ANTHROPOLOGY / CANADIAN ART JACK DAVY is head curator at the Morley Gallery, London, UK.

What has motivated Indigenous artists to produce these tiny artworks? Are they curios, toys, art, or something else?So Much More Than Art is a highly original exploration of this intricate cultural pursuit. Through case studies and conversations with contemporary Indigenous artists, Jack Davy uncovers the ways in which miniatures have functioned as crucial components of satirical opposition to colonial government, preservation of traditional techniques, and political and legal negotiation.This nuanced study of a hitherto misunderstood practice demonstrates the importance of miniaturization as a technique for communicating complex cultural ideas between generations and communities, and across the divide that separates Indigenous and settler societies. Most of all, So Much More Than Art is a testament to the cultural resilience of the Indigenous peoples of the Northwest Coast.University of British Columbia Press16related titles“Métis”: Race, Recognition, and the Struggle for Indigenous PeoplehoodChris Andersen 978-0-7748-2722-5One of the Family: Métis Culture in Nineteenth-Century Northwestern Saskatchewan Brenda Macdougall 978-0-7748-1730-1I N D I G E N O US ST U D I E SFEBRUARY 2022280 pages, 6 x 9 in., 3 b&w illus., 8 charts, 3 tables, 2 maps978-0-7748-8074-9 HC $89.95also available as an e-bookMÉTIS STUDIES / INDIGENOUS STUDIESYVONNE BOYER is a Michif with her Métis ancestral roots in the Red River.

Beyond Rights explores this groundbreaking achievement and its impact.The Nisga’a were trailblazers in gaining Supreme Court recognition of unextinguished Aboriginal title, and the treaty marked a turning point in the relationship between First Nations and provincial and federal governments. By embedding three key elements – self-government, title, and control of citizenship – the Nisga’a treaty tackled fundamental issues concerning state sovereignty, the underlying title of the Crown, and the distribution of rights.Using this pivotal case study, Beyond Rights analyzes both the potential and the limits of treaty making as a way to address historical injustice and to achieve contemporary legal recognition. It also assesses the possibilities for a distinct Indigenous citizenship in a settler state with a long history of exclusion and assimilation.ubcpress.ca / Fall 2021 19N E W I N PA P E R B AC KANTHROPOLOGYINDIGENOUS STUDIESThe Social Life of StandardsEthnographic Methods for Local EngagementEdited by Janice Graham, Christina Holmes, Fiona McDonald, and Regna Darnell“There is no comparable work to The Social Life of Standards, a breakthrough book which successfully – even brilliantly – articulates an approach to the study of standards that is sensitive to local contexts and alert to the politics of knowledge in the making.” — VICTOR BRAITBERG, assistant professor, Honors College and School of Anthropology, University of ArizonaThrough twelve ethnographic case studies, The Social Life of Standards reveals how standards – political and technical tools for organizing society – are developed, applied, subverted, contested, and reassembled by local communities interacting with norms often created by others.JANICE GRAHAM is a professor of medicine and anthropology at Dalhousie University.

Barker“Making and Breaking Settler Space offers a comprehensive analysis of the colonial spatialities inherent to the settler state. It is an innovative interpretation of the affective dimensions of settler colonialism, from its obsessive drive for ownership, control, and transcendence to the possibilities that come from failing to meet these expectations.”— SOREN LARSEN, professor of geography, University of MissouriFour hundred years. A vast geography. And an unfinished project to remake the world to match the desires of settler colonizers. How have settlers used violence and narrative to transform Turtle Island into “North America”? What does that say about our social systems, and what happens next?Drawing on multiple disciplines, archival sources, pop culture, and personal experience, Making and Breaking Settler Space creates a model that shows how settler spaces have evolved. From the colonization of Turtle Island in the 1500s to problematic activist practices by would-be settler allies today, Adam Barker traces the trajectory of settler colonialism, drawing out details of its operation and unflinchingly identifying its weaknesses. Making and Breaking Settler Space proposes an innovative, unified spatial theory of settler colonization in Canada and the United States. In doing so, it offers a framework within which settlers can pursue decolonial actions in solidarity with Indigenous communities.ubcpress.ca / Fall 2021 21POLITICAL SCIENCEN E W I N PA P E R B AC KWOMEN’S STUDIESCANADIAN HI TORYFrontiers of FeminismMovements and Influences in Québec and Italy, 1960–80Jacinthe Michaud“The 1960s to the 1980s was an effervescent period for socio-political movements and offers fertile ground for studying the links forged within these movements.

An imperial settler, liberal-labour activist, and mainstream suffragist, Mary Ellen Smith (1863–1933) demanded a fair deal for “deserving” British women and men in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.Born in England in 1863, the daughter and wife of miners, she emigrated to Nanaimo, BC, in 1892. As she became a well-known suffragist and her husband Ralph won provincial and federal elections, the power couple strove to shift Liberal parties leftward to benefit women and workers, while still embracing global assumptions of British racial superiority and bourgeois feminism’s privileging of white women. Ralph’s 1917 death launched Mary Ellen as a candidate in a tumultuous 1918 Vancouver by-election. In the BC legislature until 1928, Smith campaigned for better wages, pensions, and greater justice, even as she endorsed anti-Asian, settler, and pro-eugenic policies. Simultaneously intrepid and flawed, Mary Ellen Smith is revealed to be a key figure in early Canada’s compromised struggle for greater justice.NOVEMBER 2021264 pages, 6 x 9 in., 25 b&w illus.978-0-7748-6724-5 HC $89.95also available as an e-bookCANADIAN HISTORY / POLITICAL BIOGRAPHY / WOMEN’S STUDIES / POLITICAL HISTORYVERONICA STRONG-BOAG is a historian specializing in the history of Canadian women and children.

The Indymedia network that emerged established the importance of alternative, anti-capitalist media for marginalized groups. Transformative Media explores subsequent developments as the anti-oppression practices of digitally facilitated movements and media activists began contributing to a nascent intersectional technopolitics: harnessing the transformative power of technologies for political purposes. Drawing on participatory research, Sandra Jeppesen investigates the complex, often contradictory digital and offline practices of grassroots media and social movement groups such as Indignados, #BlackLivesMatter, Idle No More, 2LGBTQ+, and #MeToo.This groundbreaking work examines how a broad array of anti-capitalists, women, Black, Indigenous, and people of colour, and 2LGBTQ+ people are contesting interlocking systems of capitalism, gender oppression, racism, colonialism, and heteronormativity.

Aguiar“With its focus on regional specificity, White Space makes a distinctive contribution to the critical literature on white privilege and spatial imaginaries of race in Canada.”— JENNIFER HENDERSON, associate professor, Department of English and School of Indigenous & Canadian Studies, Carleton UniversityMuch attention has been paid to race in the Canadian metropolis, but how are the workings of whiteness manifested in the rural-urban spaces? White Space analyzes the dominance of whiteness in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia to expose how this racial notion sustains forms of settler privilege today.Contributors to this perceptive collection critique the cultural economics of whiteness and white supremacy. The first half documents the historical construction of whiteness: how settlers and their ancestors have sought to exalt pioneers by erasing non-whites from the region’s heritage while Indigenous people resist this whiteout. The second half explores the persistence of whiteness as an organizing principle in the neoliberal deindustrialized present.White Space moves beyond appraising whiteness as if it were a solid and unshakeable category. Instead it offers a powerful demonstration of how the concept can be re-envisioned, resisted, and reshaped in contexts of economic change.University of British Columbia Press26Putting Family First: Migration and Integration in CanadaEdited by Harald Bauder978-0-7748-6127-4Dreaming in Canadian: South Asian Youth, Bollywood, and BelongingFaiza Hirji978-0-7748-1799-8related titlesNOVEMBER 2021214 pages, 6 x 9 in., 14 tables978-0-7748-6566-1 HC $89.95also available as an e-bookTRANSNATIONALISM & MIGRATION / IMMIGRATION & EMIGRATION / SOCIOLOGY / DIASPORA STUDIESTANIA DAS GUPTA is a professor in the School of Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies at York University.

As migrants then search for employment, families are split across borders – making those relationships more precarious.

Assisted Suicide in Canada delves into the moral and policy dimensions of this case, summarizing previous federal and provincial rulings on medical assistance in dying (MAID), as well as explaining subsequent legislation. Travis Dumsday engages in an accessible yet nuanced exploration of the most significant ethical arguments and unravels related legal and policy debates. Thorny issues such as freedom of conscience for health care professionals, public funding for MAID, and extensions of eligibility are dealt with thoughtfully and clearly. Carter v.

This thoughtful reconceptualization of resource development reaches well beyond provincial borders, changing the way we think of science and state power.STÉPHANE CASTONGUAY is a professor of environmental history and Quebec studies at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières.

Hartt“Quietly Shrinking Cities is extremely well-written and a joy to read. The analytical framework it introduces is very valuable for urban studies scholars worldwide.”— SHARMISTHA BAGCHI-SEN, professor of geography, State University of New York at BuffaloAt 5 percent, Canada’s population growth was the highest of all G7 countries when the most recent census was taken. But only a handful of large cities drove that growth, attracting human and monetary capital from across the country and leaving myriad social, economic, and environmental challenges behind. Quietly Shrinking Cities investigates this trend and the practical challenges associated with population loss in smaller urban centres. Maxwell Hartt meticulously demonstrates that shrinking cities need to rethink their planning and development strategies in response to a new demographic reality, questioning whether population loss and prosperity are indeed mutually exclusive.MAXWELL HARTT is an assistant professor in the Department of Geography and Planning at Queen’s University, Kingston.DECEMBER 2021220 pages, 6 x 9 in., 12 tables, 11 charts/diagrams, 4 maps978-0-7748-6617-0 PB $32.95978-0-7748-6616-3 HC $75.00also available as an e-bookHUMAN GEOGRAPHY / PUBLIC POLICY & ADMINISTRATION / URBAN STUDIES & PLANNINGUniversity of British Columbia Press30related titlesWet Prairie: People, Land, and Water in Agricultural ManitobaShannon Stunden Bower978-0-7748-1853-7Fixing Niagara Falls: Environment, Energy, and Engineers at the World’s Most Famous WaterfallDaniel Macfarlane978-0-7748-6423-7E N V I R O N M E N TA L H I STO RYOCTOBER 2021233 pages, 6 x 9 in., 40 b&w photos, 3 maps, 3 charts978-0-7748-6546-3 PB $29.95also available as an e-bookENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY / AGRICULTURE / PUBLIC POLICY MICHAEL CLASSENS is an assistant professor in the Trent School of the Environment at Trent University.

This is some of the most profitable farmland in Canada. But the small agricultural preserve just north of Toronto is a canary in a coal mine.From Dismal Swamp to Smiling Farms recounts the transformation, use, and protection of the Holland Marsh, exploring how human ideas about nature shape agriculture, while agriculture in turn shapes ideas about nature. Drawing on interviews, media accounts, and archival data, Michael Classens concludes that celebrations of the Marsh as the quintessential example of peri-urban food sustainability and farmland protection have been too hasty. Instead, he demonstrates how capitalism and liberalism have fashioned and ultimately imperilled agriculture in the area.This fascinating case study reveals the contradictions and deficiencies of contemporary farmland preservation paradigms, highlighting the challenges of forging a more socially just and ecologically rational food system.ubcpress.ca / Fall 2021 31related titlesWest Ham and the River Lea: A Social and Environmental History of London’s Industrialized Marshland, 1839–1914Jim Clifford978-0-7748-3424-7Moved by the State: Forced Relocation and Making a Good Life in Postwar CanadaTina Loo978-0-7748-6101-4E N V I R O N M E N TA L H I STO RYSEPTEMBER 2021278 pages, 6 x 9 in., 43 b&w photos, 3 maps, 1 diagram978-0-7748-6675-0 HC $89.95also available as an e-bookENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY / ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES / RESOURCE MANAGEMENT & POLICY / CANADIAN HISTORY SERIES: Nature | History | SocietyRONALD RUDIN is Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the Department of History at Concordia University, Montreal.

Rudin succeeds in making the fragmented and chaotic story of the Marshlands both understandable and highly interesting.”— MATTHEW HATVANY, professor, Department of Geography, Université Laval For four centuries, dykes held back the largest tides in the world, in the Bay of Fundy region of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. These dykes turned salt marsh into arable land and made farming possible, but by the 1940s they had fallen into disrepair. Against the Tides is the never-before-told story of the Maritime Marshland Rehabilitation Administration (MMRA), a federal agency created in 1948 to reshape the landscape. Although agency engineers often borrowed from long-standing dykeland practices, they were so convinced of their own expertise that they sometimes disregarded local conditions, marginalizing farmers in the process. The engineers’ hubris resulted in tidal dams that compromised some of the region’s rivers, leaving behind environmental damage. This book is a vivid, richly detailed account of a distinctive landscape and its occupants, revealing the push-pull of local and expert knowledge and the role of the state in the postwar era.University of British Columbia Press32related titlesChallenge the Strong Wind: Canada and East Timor, 1975–99David Webster 978-0-7748-6298-1Resisting Rights: Canada and the International Bill of Rights, 1947–76Jennifer Tunnicliffe978-0-7748-3819-1FO R E I G N P O L I CYAUGUST 2021260 pages, 6 x 9 in.978-0-7748-6197-7 HC $89.95also available as an e-bookFOREIGN POLICY / HUMAN RIGHTS / INTERNATIONAL POLITICSRICHARD PILKINGTON is an independent scholar of genocide studies and US foreign relations, and has taught at both the University of Toronto and Concordia University, Montreal.The West and the Birth of BangladeshForeign Policy in the Face of Mass AtrocityRichard Pilkington“The West and the Birth of Bangladesh is an authoritative and crucial book for both scholars and policy makers.”— PAUL M. McGARR, associate professor, Department of American and Canadian Studies, University of NottinghamIn 1971, authorities in Islamabad perpetrated mass atrocities in East Pakistan in an attempt to thwart a struggle for autonomy by terrorizing the local population into submission. The West and the Birth of Bangladesh explores the decision-making processes and ethical debates in Washington, Ottawa, and London during the crucial first few months of the crisis. US president Richard Nixon and his national security adviser, Henry Kissinger, favoured appeasement of Islamabad. The Canadian government was unwilling to hazard bilateral ties with Pakistan. Under public pressure, only the UK showed somewhat greater willingness to coerce Islamabad into ending its oppressive actions. Richard Pilkington also analyzes the interplay of US, Canadian, and British responses toward East Pakistan, and the available policy options. This insightful book reveals how blinkered government actors were too preoccupied with protecting national interests to take firm action during the crisis, even as human-rights movements took hold around the globe.ubcpress.ca / Fall 2021 33related titlesThe Making of Modern Chinese Medicine, 1850–1960Bridie Andrews978-0-7748-2433-0Healing Henan: Canadian Nurses at the North China Mission, 1888–1947Sonya Grypma978-0-7748-1400-3N U RS I N G H I STO RYOCTOBER 2021320 pages, 6 x 9 in., 15 b&w photos, 13 tables, 1 map, 1 chart978-0-7748-6571-5 HC $89.95also available as an e-bookHISTORY OF MEDICINE / CHINA STUDIES / WOMEN’S STUDIES / CANADIAN HISTORY SONYA GRYPMA is Vice Provost of Leadership and Graduate Studies at Trinity Western University.

This is an exciting read, albeit sometimes a sad one, written by an outstanding scholar of nursing, religion, and mission. Social history at its best.”— BARBRA MANN WALL, professor, School of Nursing, University of VirginiaNursing Shifts in Sichuan illuminates one of the most consequential additions to early-twentieth-century health care in China. In 1943, the Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) was forced to evacuate to the Canadian West China Mission in Chengdu, Sichuan. As part of an extraordinary mass migration to Free China during the Japanese occupation, the refugee PUMC was hosted by the Canadian West China Mission for the next three years.During that period, the PUMC transformed nursing at the Canadian mission, initiating the second university nursing program in the country. Both programs were closed by the new Communist government in 1951. When China reopened degree programs thirty-five years later, it was PUMC alumnae who helped restart them.In the contemporary era of exponential increases in East-West educational exchanges, Nursing Shifts in Sichuan offers both a cautionary tale about the fragility of transnational relations and a testament to the resilience of educated women.University of British Columbia Press34related titlesCrerar’s Lieutenants: Inventing the Canadian Junior Army Officer, 1939–45Geoffrey Hayes978-0-7748-3484-1Military Education and the British Empire, 1815–1949Edited by Douglas E.

BrownIn September 1939, the Canadian army, a tiny force of around 55,000 regulars and reservists, began a remarkable expansion. No army can function without a backbone of skilled non-commissioned officers (NCOs) – corporals, sergeants, and warrant officers – and the army needed to create one out of raw civilian material. Building the Army’s Backbone tells the story of how senior leadership created a corps of NCOs that helped the burgeoning force train, fight, and win. This innovative book uncovers the army’s two-track NCO-production system: locally organized training programs were run by units and formations, while centralized programs were overseen by the army. Meanwhile, to bring coherence to the two-track approach, the army circulated its best-trained NCOs between operational forces, the reinforcement pool, and the training system. The result was a corps of NCOs that collectively possessed the essential skills in leadership, tactics, and instruction to help the army succeed in battle. ubcpress.ca / Fall 2021 35N E W I N PA P E R B AC KMILITARY HISTORYMILITARY HISTORYAn Army of Never-Ending StrengthReinforcing the Canadians in Northwest Europe, 1944–45Arthur W.

Cooper Town, an American Indian soldier, has returned from the Middle East to attend his father’s funeral, make some quick cash off his father’s old Harley, and spend a whirlwind weekend with his girlfriend, Sheri Mun. However, when Coop runs afoul of the violent John Wayne gang, he and Sheri Mun have no choice but to twist the throttle back on that storied chopper and make tracks. Turning the traditional Western on its head, Memorial Ride recasts the genre as a road movie. It’s raucous, it’s violent, and, scarily enough, it might even be true.

This is a remarkable story of an antebellum Black woman’s personal and professional mobility.Dec. 2021 | 264 pages, 6 x 9 in., 15 b&w images, 2 maps978-1-952271-27-4 PB $36.95 MEMOIR / US HISTORY / BLACK STUDIES SERIES: Regenerations West Virginia University PressSALES REPRESENTATION Ampersand Inc. | ampersandinc.ca2440 Viking Way | Richmond, BC V6V 1N2Suite 213, 321 Carlaw Avenue | Toronto, ON M4M 2S1British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Yukon, and Northwest TerritoriesAli Hewitt, Dani Farmer, Jessica Price, Pavan Ranuphone 604.448.7111 / 1.800.561.8583 fax 604.448.7118 / 1.888.323.7118 email alih@ampersandinc.ca / danif@ampersandinc.cajessicap@ampersandinc.ca / pavanr@ampersandinc.caVancouver IslandDani Farmerphone 604.488.7168email danif@ampersandinc.caAlberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and NWTJessica Pricephone 604.488.7170 email jessicap@ampersandinc.caOntarioSaffron Beckwith, Morgen Young, Vanessa Di Gregorio, Jenny Enriquez, Evette Sintichakis, Kris Hykel, Laureen Cusackphone 416.703.0666 / 1.866.736.5620 fax 416.703.4745 / 1.866.849.3819 email saffronb@ampersandinc.ca krish@ampersandinc.ca / morgeny@ampersandinc.ca vanessad@ampersandinc.ca / jennye@ampersandinc.ca evettes@ampersandinc.ca / laureenc@ampersandinc.caQuebecJenny Enriquezphone 416.703.0666 / 1.866.736.5620 fax 416.703.4745 email jennye@ampersandinc.caAtlantic ProvincesKris Hykelphone 416.703.0666 / 1.866.736.5620 fax 416.703.4745 email krish@ampersandinc.caORDERSCanadaUTP Distribution 5201 Dufferin Street | Toronto, Ontario M3H 5T8phone 1.800.565.9523 / 416.667.7791 fax 1.800.221.9985 / 416.667.7832 email utpbooks@utpress.utoronto.caFor information on obtaining UBC Press and Athabasca University Press titles outside of Canada, please visit our website at ubcpress.ca.
