Palm IslandThrough a Long Lens
Joanne Watson
Based on extensive archival and oralhistory research as well as on personal
connections with the community, this
volume challenges the prevailing nega-
tive view of Palm Island, Australia, and
argues against the failure to address
today’s continuing Indigenous disad-
vantage. This substantial history re-
counts some of the most explosive
episodes in Queensland history, including the 1930 rampage by the
first Superintendent, the community-wide strike by reserve workers
in 1957, and the tragic death in custody of Mulrunji Doomadgee,
which triggered civil unrest within the Indigenous community.
Heart-wrenching and at times uplifting, this account is essential
reading for anyone interested in the dynamics of power and privi-
lege and their contestation.
Joanne Watson is a writer and a teacher in the fields of
Australian social history, workplace relations, cultural studies,

What’s Wrongwith ANZAC?The Militarisationof Australian History
Marilyn Lake and Henry Reynolds
Brave and controversial, this account
argues that Australians’ collective obses-
sion with the Australian and New
Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) has dis-
torted their perception of national histo-
ry. Delving into the history of ANZAC and the mythologies
surrounding it, this detailed record explores topics such as the forma-
tion of Australia’s national holiday—ANZAC Day—and the way in
which the spirit of ANZAC is taught in the nation’s classrooms.
Ultimately, this informative narrative claims that ANZAC has become
a conservative political force in Australia and questions whether its
renowned foreign battles were worth all of the bloodshed.
Marilyn Lake is the author of The Limits of Hope, FAITH: Faith
Bandler, Gentle Activist , and Getting Equal: The History of

Zombie Mythsof AustralianMilitary HistoryEdited by Craig Stockings
In this fascinating account, leading
Australian military historians tackle 10
of the most enduring historical zom-
bies, or national myths, that have stag-
gered their way through the halls of
military history for more than 200
years. From Aboriginal resistance and invasion to Australia’s
recent involvement in East Timor, this record disproves the incor-rectly memorialized and so-called gallant deeds of past Australian
servicemen. Provocative and opinionated, this record attempts to
correct the historical record.

The PredatorCultureThe Systemic Roots andIntent of Organised Violence
Fred Harrison
• Author’s previous books sold more
than 25,000 copies
Drawing on case studies of organized
violence—ranging from territorial wars
to organized crime—this record offers
a general theory to account for the use
of force in both the state and civil sectors of society. Challenging
the popular views that the dominant forms of violence are due to
failings of human nature, this volume suggests that the laws and
institutions favoring an approach to property rights that encourage
rent seeking are responsible. This record proposes policies to dis-
mantle the incentives that nurture violence by redistributing powerto the individual.

National Plan for Higher Education,
this group of contributors investigates more thoroughly why stu-
dents in that study dropped out of universities, what helped them
graduate, and what made a successful transition to the labor mar-
ket. Their findings show that the attrition rate at universities
remains high—30 percent of students drop out in their first year
and white students graduate at a rate double that of blacks.
Recommendations include implementing the new Ministry of Higher Education’s plan for continuously improving the access and
success, particularly of black students, at all levels of the system.

works, these poems are marked by an
almost self-elegiac strain, an unflinch-
ing imagining of one’s own death, and a sense of love fading.

Soul on StandbyAntony Di Nardo
“Di Nardo has the feel of one of those
‘adventurer/poet’ types who can carry
intimacy with them wherever they go,
who can set up shop in newer and newer places and still come across as
piercing and honest.” — Vox Populism
on Alien, Correspondent
Drawing on memory and its occasional
fictions, these poems mix surreal cap-
tions, tongue-in-cheek cynicism, docu-
mentary techniques, self-parody, storytelling, and even traditional
lyricism. Surprising and diverse, some of the topics presented
include poetry that reduces cholesterol, a letter written to fields of
grain back home, and a 1950s family’s morning rituals.
Antony Di Nardo is the author of the poetry collection Alien,
Correspondent, and his poetry appears widely in journals bothin Canada and internationally. He splits his time between
Oshawa, Ontario, and Sutton, Quebec.

In exploring the topic of health,
this collection of poetry tackles a
crucial aspect of our lives—but one
that is rarely a subject of contem-
porary art. Playful, satirical, surreal, yet unflinchingly humane,
the poems introduce men with wands to patrol their neighbor-
hoods, past selves smuggling themselves aboard airplanes, and
unhappy people trying their luck on a psychological wheelof blame.
Priscila Uppal is a poet, novelist, and professor at York
University. She is the author of five collections of poetry, includ-
ing Live Coverage and Ontological Necessities, which was short-
listed for the Griffin Poetry Prize. She is also the author of two
novels and an academic study, We Are What We Mourn: The
Contemporary English-Canadian Elegy. She lives in Toronto.

Punched DrunkAlcohol, Surveillance and theLCBO, 1927–1975
Scott Thompsonand Gary Genosko
Exposing the stakes and consequencesof the enormous bureaucracy behind
the administrative surveillance of alco-
hol consumption, this critical study
takes a closer look at the Liquor
Control Board of Ontario (LCBO). This
study documents how, since the LCBO’s
inception in 1927, it generated knowledge about the drinking pop-
ulation and follows through the Board’s transition from paper per-
mit books to the first punched-card computer systemsis. Revealing
how they tracked any and all alcohol consumption, this investiga-
tion records how they created categories and profiles of individuals
so they could “control” drinking in the province. This analysis illus-
trates how this company helped to develop and foster stereotypesaround addiction that persist to this day.
Scott Thompson is a PhD candidate in sociology at the
University of Victoria. He lives in Victoria, British Columbia.
Gary Genosko is the Canada research chair in technoculture in

Reservation Policyand Its Implement-
ation AcrossDomains in IndiaAn Analytical Review
Niranjan Sahoo
India has the world’s oldest and one
of the most comprehensive affirmative
action policies in the form of reserva-
tions or quotas for its disadvantaged
sections, and this monograph reviews the current public policy
that remains the most controversial and polarizing one that India
has adopted. Recognizing that there is a lack of data-based
understanding of its enforcement, this publication pools datafrom various sources and highlights the need for analytical infor-
mation on affirmative action polices that can be linked across
domains, sharing critical insights on the processes at work and
identifies areas for further research.
Niranjan Sahoo is a fellow at the Observer Research Foundation
in New Delhi and the author of The Politics of Power Sector
Reforms in India.

Substance UseAmong MigrantsThe Case of Iraniansin Belgium
Marjolein Muys
Based on participant observations and
open interviews with 129 Iranian
migrants in Belgium, this study pro-
vides information on both pre- and
postmigration patterns of drug use
among this population. Covering a
wide range of substances—including opium, tobacco, and alco-
hol—consumed by Iranians from pre-Islamic times to present
day, this resource illustrates how different cultures have defined
drugs across the ages.

Warm Windsof ChangeGlobalisation inContemporary Samoa
Cluny Macphersonand La’avasa Macpherson
Examining a variety of intriguing
issues, this sociological study ana-
lyzes the impact global culture has
had on the flora and fauna, people,
economies, languages, and cultures
of the Pacific for many centuries. The survey draws on findings
from a 40-year research partnership, illustrating the effects of
globalization from the perspective of a typical Samoan village
and documenting the country’s shifts in technology, politics, and
economics. This argument contends that contemporary changes
are presenting a more profound challenge to Samoan social insti-tutions and society than at any other time in the past.
Cluny Macpherson is professor in the School of Social and
Cultural Studies at Massey University in New Zealand. La’avasa
Macpherson is a researcher at Massey University. They are the
coauthors of Samoan Medical Belief and Practice.

When JusticeIs a GameUnravelling WrongfulConviction in Canada
MaDonna Maidment• Part of the Fernwood Basics series
Confronting the issue of wrongful con-
victions, this argument contends that
these so-called mistakes or failures of
the justice system too often target the
financially disadvantaged and visible minority groups. Delving
into the issues that underscore these decisions, this discussion sug-
gests that the desire to obtain a conviction often results in false
evidence and court decisions based on prejudice and racism.
Acknowledging its claims of impartiality, neutrality, and objectivi-
ty, this consideration nonetheless submits that the law is a tool
designed to maintain the illegitimate domination of society, andthat turning to the very system that erred in the first place to cor-
rect its errors is in itself a miscarriage of justice.
MaDonna Maidment is a sociology and anthropology professor
at the University of Guelph. She lives in Guelph, Ontario.

Zombie FactoryCulture, Stress& Sudden Death
Michael Korovkinand Peter Stephenson
Noting that most traditional examina-
tions of stress view it as a medical
condition, this guide takes an anthro-
pological approach and reveals a less
threatening picture of this natural
response to danger. Using narratives
from people in very stressful situations—including a spy, an
executive, a refugee camp worker, and a policeman—the discus-sion shows that even harrowing amounts of stress can be pro-
ductive as long as the patterns of its application do not turn
dangerous. Summarizing these findings as they apply to
American workers, solutions are suggested to avoid becoming a
virtual zombie who has little awareness of his actions.
Michael Korovkin is a social and medical anthropologist. Peter
Stephenson is an applied medical anthropologist and the author
of The Hutterian People and A Persistent Spirit .
