“From class struggle to crass struggle; that is thedefining feature of the times. And the genius oftoday’s political economy has been to convertwhat used to be a potential life-and-death conflictbetween haves and have-nots into a minor disagree-ment between have-lots and wanna-have-mores.”

Why do those who are extremely well off spendtheir money in socially and environmentallydamaging ways? How do crooks, con artists, andcounterfeiters function in the hypercharged marketscatering to the whims and fancies of the very rich?And why do so many of the less fortunate insist onslavishly emulating the über rich, spending waybeyond what their limited means allow?

A critique of the lifestyles of today’s ultra richbolstered by old-fashioned muckraking, CrassStruggle provides a sharp, original, and oftenhumorous commentary on “the bad side of thegood life, the underbelly of the potbelly.” Takingthe reader inside today’s luxury trades, R.T. Naylorvisits gold mines spewing arsenic and diamondfields spreading human misery, knocks on the doorsof purveyors of luxury seafood as the oceansempty, samples wares of merchants offering top-

vintage wines (or at least top-vintage labels), callson companies running trophy-hunting expeditionsand dealers in exotic pets high on endangered lists,and much more. What stands out is that so manyhigh-priced items glitter on the outside, but havemore than a spot of rot at the core.

Through a series of outrageous but all too truestories, Crass Struggle reveals the appalling con-sequences of consumerism run amok and its linksto repetitive financial swindles and the alarmingdegradation of the biophysical environment.

R.T. Naylor is professor of economics at McGillUniversity. His books include Satanic Purses,Wages of Crime, Patriots and Profiteers, andHot Money and the Politics of Debt.

“This is a fabulous book – an engaging, fascinating,and provocative account of how upper class con-sumer tastes fuel underworld economies across theglobe, with devastating consequences. There is noother book quite like it.”Peter Andreas, Brown University

John Glassco (1909–1981) holds a unique positionin Canadian letters and a somewhat notoriousreputation throughout the world. He is best knownfor hisMemoirs of Montparnasse, the controversialchronicle of his youthful adventures and encounterswith celebrities in the Paris of James Joyce, GertrudeStein, and Ernest Hemingway. Less known are hispoetry, his instrumental role in the foundation ofmodern translation, and his numerous – and widelypopular – works of pornography.A Gentleman of Pleasure not only spans Glassco’s

life but delves into his background as a member ofa once prominent and powerful Montreal family. Inaddition to Glassco’s readily available work, BrianBusby draws on pseudonymous writings publishedas a McGill student as well as unpublished andpreviously unknown poems, letters, and journalentries to detail a vibrant life while pulling back thecurtain on Glassco’s sexuality and unconventionaltastes.

In a lively account of a man given to deception,who took delight in hoaxes, Busby manages tosubstantiate many of the often unreliable state-ments Glassco made about his life and work. AGentleman of Pleasure is a remarkable biographythat captures the knowable truth about afascinatingly complex and secretive man.

Brian Busby is an independent scholar and theauthor of several books, including CharacterParts: Who’s Really Who in CanLit.

“Original and richly detailed, A Gentlemanof Pleasure gives John Glassco the audiencehe deserves.”Andrew Lesk, University of Toronto

The vast Canadian landscape has captured theimagination of visual artists since the first Euro-pean contact. Although artistic engagement withthe landscape has a long history, some periods havedrawn considerable critical attention, while othershave been left almost unexamined. Picturing theLand surveys work from coast to coast, from theearliest maps to postwar painting in English andFrench Canada, to provide a comprehensive viewof Canadian landscape art.

Emphasizing the ways in which social, economic,and political conditions determine representation,Marylin McKay moves beyond canonical imagesand traditional nationalistic interpretations byanalyzing Canadian landscape art in relation todifferent concepts of territory. Taking an expansiveand inclusive perspective on Canadian landscapeart, McKay depicts this tradition in all its diversityand draws it into the larger body of Western land-scape art, broadening the horizon of future study,appreciation, and criticism.

Richly illustrated and filled with sophisticatedand innovative commentary, Picturing the Landprovides new and distinct histories of the landscapeart of French and English Canada.

Marylin J. McKay is a professor of art historyat nscad University and the author of A NationalSoul: Canadian Mural Painting, 1860s–1930s.

How have photographs contributed to visualizingthe “imagined community” of Canada? In whatways does the dissemination of photographs in themedia and through exhibitions shape our under-standing of the past? How have photographs beenused to reanimate the past through memory work?The Cultural Work of Photography in Canada is

an in-depth study on the use of photographicimagery in Canada from the late nineteenth centuryto the present. This volume of fourteen essaysprovides a thought-provoking discussion of the rolephotography has played in representing Canadianidentities. In essays that draw on a diversity ofphotographic forms, from the snapshot andadvertising image to works of photographic art,contributors present a variety of critical approachesto photography studies, examining themes rangingfrom photography’s part in the formation of thegeographic imaginary to Aboriginal self-identityand notions of citizenship. The volume explores thework of photographs as tools of self and collectiveexpression while rejecting any claim to a definitive,singular telling of photography’s history.

Reflecting the rich interdisciplinarity ofcontemporary photography studies, The CulturalWork of Photography in Canada is essentialreading for anyone interested in Canadian visualculture.

“Compromise has remained a good thing in themosaic called Canada, contributing indirectly andin its own mysterious way to whatever goodhumour, proportion, tolerance, judgment, andcivility we have achieved. When such fundamentalthings apply, we can learn more about how best tolive together, develop public policy, and cherish thenatural environment of which we are the stewards.”

Roy MacLaren – student of literature and history,sailor, diplomat, businessman, writer, politician,and cabinet minister – has led a good life, andan interesting one, sometimes as a witness, oftenas an actor. In The Fundamental Things Apply,MacLaren recounts the details of his varied lifeand career with wit and with charm.

During the parliamentary years, from his firstelection in 1979 to his appointment to Londonin 1996, MacLaren draws on his diary to offerimpressions – at times devastating, at otherssympathetic – of those he encountered in his severalministerial capacities and global travels. Earlier, lifein Saigon and Hanoi following the French Indo-China war, the oppressions of the Stalinist regimein Czechoslovakia, the erection of the Berlin Wall,multilateral diplomacy at the United Nations in

Geneva and New York during the Cold War arerecounted with both insight and humility. Ofhis business career, MacLaren offers, for example,an insider’s perspective on the collapse of Massey-Ferguson, and the successes of his businessmagazine company.

A political memoir set in an autobiography,The Fundamental Things Apply ranges widelyover Canadian economic and international affairsduring the latter decades of the twentieth century,offering a timely and personal account of how thepublic policies – both domestic and international –pursued then were formative in creating thecountry we live in today.

Roy MacLaren was high commissioner for Canadain the United Kingdom and Northern Irelandfrom 1996 to 2000. He spent twelve years inthe Canadian Foreign Service and served asparliamentary secretary for Energy, Mines, andResources, minister of State (finance), minister ofNational Revenue, and minister of Internationaltrade.

In Singing from the Darktime, S. Weilbach recallsthe remarkable details of her childhood withcinematic clarity. By 1937 Hitler’s power wasbeginning to penetrate the peaceful agriculturalvillage in Germany’s Rhine Valley where Weilbachlived with her family. Without warning, her care-free childhood became a scene of bewildering racialabuse, the violent invasion of her home, the arrestof her father, and the incredible disappearance ofher beloved grandmother. Her terrifying flight andconcealment are arrestingly described, revealinghow a child in crisis retreats into imagination,reliving past happiness.

Leaving Germany, Weilbach describes hersurreal experience aboard the luxury refugee shipthe St Louis, which was refused the right to landfirst by Cuba and then the United States andCanada and was forced to turn back to Europe,where England and several European countriesfinally allowed the passengers to find some sortof sanctuary. Weilbach recalls her experiences ofLondon – loneliness, confusion, and an incom-prehensible language – but also the healingacceptance of classmates and teachers. With theapproach of World War Two, the mass evacuationof her school to the countryside brings a return

to familiar village life and surprising happiness andthe hint of a better future, despite the immediatechaos of loss and war.Singing from the Darktime presents a voice of

innocence and resilience in a cruel and frighteningworld. An afterword by renowned Holocaustscholar Doris Bergen provides historical context.

A former psychologist, therapist, teacher, and socialactivist, the now-retired S. Weilbach lives in BritishColumbia, where she is completing her first novel.

“he lies in the dark remembering / how she pointed out / the silver threads ofthe morning light / just the day before / and he sparkles / with guilt.”

Blinded by a grenade in Lebanon as a teenager, poet John Asfour came toCanada armed with James Joyce’s words, “For the eyes, they bring us nothing.I have a hundred worlds to create and I am only losing one of them.” Blindfoldinvestigates the ways in which disability influences our lives and is magnifiedin our minds. In a series of thematically linked poems, Asfour draws themetaphor of the blindfold across the eyes of sighted citizens who are impairedby estrangement, emotional complexity, and social pressures.

A sense of exile and belonging dominates the poems, following the journeyof a blind man whose life in his new land has been hampered by prejudice andbarriers to communication. Exposing the rich and surprising possibilities of alife that has undergone a frightening transformation, Blindfold relates feelingsof loss, displacement, and disorientation experienced not only by the disabledbut by everyone who finds themselves separated from the norm.

John Mikhail Asfour is a translator and former professor of literature. Theeditor of the landmark anthologyWhen the Words Burn: An Anthology ofModern Arabic Poetry, he has written four previous books of poems.

“There’s a gap between where / an electron is and where it might be / andthat’s the only real work-place. / You occupy that office of possibility.”

Where are you in that space between the electron and the galaxy, and howdo you find yourself there? Particles asks this question and answers it byasking more questions, conveying both the mystery and the uncertainty ofthe universe.

Michael Penny addresses his poems directly to the reader, challenging youto satisfy your need to investigate and understand the sensory and intellectualassumptions we use to make sense of our world. Balanced between abstractmetaphysical challenges and the concrete and commonplace, Penny’s poetryconsiders a range of topics, including cars, bruises, lotteries, pine needles,and dogs, infusing each with strangeness and unexpected intrigue.

A lively and surprising collection, Particles joins together inner and outerspace and suggests that you might not know what you think you know.

Michael Penny has previously written two books of poetry,My Chimera andCompleting the Kora.

In the 1980s the Bureaucracy eliminated all knowledge of the past in the wakeof a nuclear holocaust. In 2030 André Gervais discovers two metal boxescontaining manuscripts, diaries, and other personal papers that have somehowsurvived and asks an old man, John Wellfleet, to use these documents todiscover the past. In doing so, Wellfleet learns the truth about two relatives:his older cousin Timothy Wellfleet, a Montreal TV journalist at the time ofthe 1970 War Measures Act, and his stepfather, Conrad Dehmel, a Germanscholar struggling to keep his Jewish fiancée and himself safe from Hitler’sGestapo.

Hugh MacLennan skillfully juxtaposes the insanity of life in Nazi Germany,the political climate of Montreal in the 1980s, and the perspective of an oldman looking back on the conditions that led to world destruction as thebackground to an unforgettable love story.

“Voices in Time is Hugh MacLennan’s greatest novel.” Elspeth Cameron,author of Hugh MacLennan: A Writer’s Life

Born in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, Hugh MacLennan (1907–1990) taught atMcGill University from 1951 to 1981 and wrote novels and essays that helpeddefine Canadian literature. His novels include Barometer Rising (1941), TwoSolitudes (1945), Each Man’s Son (1951), The Watch That Ends the Night(1959), Return of the Sphinx (1967), and Voices in Time (1980). He alsopublished several nonfiction works, including Cross Country (1949), Thirtyand Three (1955), Scotsman’s Return and Other Essays (1960), and TheColour of Canada (1967).

Paul T.K. Lin was a Chinese Canadian scholar and unofficial intermediarybetween China and Canada during the turbulent decades of the twentiethcentury. The memoir he began late in life was completed by his wife, Eileen.

Born in Vancouver in 1920, Lin became a passionate advocate for Chinaduring his university years. With the founding of the People’s Republic, andgrowing Cold War sentiment, Lin abandoned his doctoral studies, moving toChina with his young family. He spent the next fifteen years participating inChina’s revolutionary transformation. In 1964, concerned by the politicalclimate under Mao, and determined to bridge the divide between China andthe West, Lin returned to Canada and was appointed head of McGill Univer-sity’s Centre for East Asian Studies. Throughout his career, Lin was soughtafter as an authority on China. He contributed to the establishment of diplo-matic relations between Canada and China in 1970, and to the creation ofnumerous cultural, academic, and trade exchanges.In the Eye of the China Storm is the story of Paul Lin’s life and of his efforts

– as a teacher, consultant, and community leader – to overcome the mutualsuspicion that distanced China from the West. Although devastated by theChinese government’s violent suppression of student protestors at TiananmenSquare, he never lost faith in the Chinese people, nor hope for China’s future.

Paul T. K. Lin (1920–2004) received the Order of Canada in 1998 for being aleading figure in the development of Chinese-Canadian relations. Eileen ChenLin, writer, editor, and former McGill University librarian, is honorary chairof the Soong Ching Ling Children’s Foundation of Canada.

Many North American cities trace their populationbooms to the nineteenth century when immigrantsand migrants flooded emerging industrializingurban centres in search of better lives. Peopling theNorth American City examines this phenomenonin Montreal through the eyes of a thousand couplesto construct both an intimate portrait and a com-pelling overview of life in a nineteenth-centurymetropolis.

Benefiting from Montreal’s remarkable archivalrecords, Sherry Olson and Patricia Thornton use aningenious sampling of twelve surnames to track thecomings and goings, births, deaths, and marriagesof the city’s inhabitants. The book demonstratesthe importance of individual decisions by outliningthe circumstances in which people decided whereto move, when to marry, and what work to do.Integrating social and spatial analysis, the authorsprovide insights into the relationships amongthe city’s three cultural communities, show howinequalities of voice, purchasing power, and accessto real property were maintained, and providefirst-hand evidence of the impact of city livingand poverty on families, health, and futures. Thefindings challenge presumptions about the cultural“assimilation” of migrants as well as our under-standing of urban life in nineteenth-century NorthAmerica.

The culmination of twenty-five years of work,Peopling the North American City is an illumi-nating look at the humanity of cities and theelements that determine whether their citizenswill thrive or merely survive.

Sherry Olson is a professor emerita in theDepartment of Geography at McGill University.

Patricia Thornton is a professor in the Departmentof Geography, Planning, and Environment atConcordia University.

“A first class addition to North American historicaldemography, with an ambition to reach a muchbroader audience. Olson and Thornton are experi-enced, informed researchers, and their scholarshipis exemplary.” Gordon Darroch, York University

Powered by a microprocessor andoperated with apl, a sophisticated programminglanguage, the mcm/70 was positioned to be apractical, affordable, and easy-to-use personalcomputer – the very first of its kind.Inventing the PC details the invention and

design of the mcm/70 computer and the prolongedstruggle to bring it to market. Zbigniew Stachniakoffers an insider’s view of events on the front linesof pioneering work on personal computers. Heshows what information and options PC pioneershad, how well they understood what they weredoing, and how that understanding – or lackthereof – shaped both their engineering ingenuityand the indecisiveness and over-reaching ambitionthat would ultimately turn a very promisingventure into a missed opportunity.

Providing comprehensive historical backgroundand rich photographic documentation, Inventingthe PC tells the story of a Canadian company onthe cutting-edge of the information age.

Zbigniew Stachniak is an associate professor ofcomputer science, York University, and the curatorof York University’s Computer Museum.

Why have the largest mass murders in humanhistory taken place in the past hundred years?Why have European colonizers so often denied thehumanity of the colonized? In Barbaric Civiliza-tion, Christopher Powell advances a radical thesisto answer these questions: that civilizationproduces genocides.

From its beginnings in the early twelfth century,the Western civilizing process has involved twointerconnected transformations: the monopo-lization of military force by sovereign states and thecultivation in individuals of habits and dispositionsof the kind that we call “civilized.” The combinedforward movement of these processes channelsviolent struggles for social dominance intosymbolic performances. But even as the civilizingprocess frees many subjects from the threat ofdirect physical force, violence accumulates behindthe scenes and at the margins of the social order,kept there by a deeply habituated performance ofdominance and subordination called deferentiation.When deferentiation fails, difference becomesdangerous and genocide becomes possible.

Connecting historical developments witheveryday life occurrences, and discussing examplesranging from thirteenth-century Languedoc to1994 Rwanda, Powell offers an original frameworkfor analyzing, comparing, and discussing genocidesas variable outcomes of a common underlyingsocial system, raising unsettling questions aboutthe contradictions of Western civilization and thepossibility of a world without genocide.

Christopher Powell is assistant professor ofsociology at the University of Manitoba.

John M. Letiche started life as Ianik Letichevsky, a citizen of the newlyconstituted Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The son of a brilliant butdictatorial father and a loving, cultivated mother, he went on to a remarkablecareer as an accomplished scholar, professor of economics, and adviser togovernments.

Letiche, now in his nineties, provides an intriguing look at the changes thathave occurred during his lifetime. Following his Kiev childhood and formativeyears in Depression-era Montreal, he completed a doctorate at the Universityof Chicago and took up a Rockefeller fellowship at the Council on ForeignRelations in New York City. As a technical advisor to the Economic Commis-sion for Africa he conducted trade talks with both gifted and corrupt heads ofstate in sub-Saharan Africa, and later shared a working White House dinnerwith an infamous American president. His half-century-long teaching careerat Berkeley included a front row seat for the Free Speech Movement and themost documented student revolt in popular history.

Told with humour, insight, and humility, Crises and Compassion movesnimbly among weighty events and meaningful personal history, showing how“civility in intellectual exchange” came to be the guiding principle of a lifeof monumental experiences.

John M. Letiche is professor emeritus of economics at the University ofCalifornia, Berkeley. He is the author of numerous books and articles,including Balance of Payments and Economic Growth and Russian Statecraft.

Before 1939, Canada’s shipbuilding industry had been moribund for nearlytwo decades – no steel-hulled, ocean-going vessel had been built since 1921.During the Second World War, however, Canada’s shipbuilding programbecame a major part of the nation’s industrial effort. Shipyards were expandedand more than a thousand warships and cargo ships were constructed as wellas many more thousands of auxiliary vessels, small boats, and other craft.A large ship-repair program also began.

In A Bridge of Ships James Pritchard tells the story of the rapidly changingcircumstances and forceful personalities that shaped government shipbuildingpolicy. He examines the ownership and expansion of the shipyards and therole of ship repairing, as well as recruitment and training of the labour force.He also tells the story of the struggle for steel and the expansion of ancillaryindustries. Pritchard provides a definitive picture of Canada’s wartime shipproduction, assesses the cost (more than $1.2 billion), and explains whysuch an enormous effort left such a short-lived legacy.

The story of Canada’s shipbuilding industry is as astonishing as that of thenation’s wartime navy. The personnel of both expanded more than fifty times,yet the history of wartime shipbuilding remains virtually unknown. With thedisappearance of the Canadian shipbuilding industry from both the land andmemory, it is time to recall and assess its contribution to Allied victory.

James Pritchard is professor emeritus of history, Queen’s University, andprize-winning author of numerous articles and books, including In Searchof Empire: The French in the Americas, 1670–1730.

British imperial power was greatly bolstered by new techniques in surveyingand map-making during the eighteenth century. Well before James Cook sailedfor the Pacific in 1768, British army engineers working on the coastline fromQuebec to Rhode Island had set new scientific standards for cartography thatwould assist the British in mapping future conquests. Surveyors of Empireexplores the groundbreaking work of these engineers, which formed the basisof The Atlantic Neptune, a four-volume hydrographic atlas that stands as amonument of European Enlightenment science.

Using research from both sides of the Atlantic, Stephen Hornsby examinesthe development of British military cartography in North America during andafter the Seven Years War, as well as advancements in military and scientificequipment used in surveying. At the same time, he follows the land speculationof two leading surveyors, Samuel Holland and J.F.W. Des Barres, and thepublication history of The Atlantic Neptune.

Richly illustrated with images from The Atlantic Neptune and earlier maps,Surveyors of Empire is an insightful account of the relationship betweenscience and imperialism, and the British shaping of the Atlantic world.

Stephen J. Hornsby is director of the Canadian-American Center and professorof geography at the University of Maine.

Quebec: The Story of Three Sieges goes beyond the celebrated siege byGeneral James Wolfe in 1759 to chronicle three very different sieges, acrosstwo separate conflicts. Focusing on the geographical importance of the city ofQuebec and the role it played in the Seven Years War and the American Warof Independence, Stephen Manning describes visits to the city of importantfigures such as Benedict Arnold and George Washington. In the fuller contextof the Seven Years War, he explains the enormous importance the Britishattached to the capture of North America from the French.

Manning’s account of the final battle on the Plains of Abraham is a detailedanalysis of General Wolfe’s genius and the reasons for his success. But theconflict didn’t end with Wolfe’s victory: at the battle of St Foy in 1760, theFrench beat the British and again laid siege to Quebec. The siege failed and,aided by the Royal Navy, the British were finally able to force the FrenchArmy back to Montreal and capture Quebec. But Britain’s relationship withher new North American colonial subjects quickly turned sour, leading directlyto the outbreak of war with America. The final siege of Quebec was by theAmericans in 1776. It failed, securing the future of Canada as a separatepolitical entity.

A thrilling tale told with consummate skill and real narrative pace, Quebec:The Story of Three Sieges offers an exciting new perspective on the events thatchanged the face of North America.

Stephen Manning is honorary visiting professor of history, University ofExeter. He specializes in Victorian military history and lectures widely.

Millions of tourists and residents know the Bow River as it tumbles throughBanff’s spectacular scenery or carves an elegant arc through the city of Calgary.Fewer people know the Bow as a heavily engineered, hard-working river.

Alberta’s iconic river has been dammed and plumbed, made to spin hydro-electric turbines, and used to cleanse Calgary. Artificial lakes in the mountainsrearrange its flow; downstream weirs and ditches divert it to irrigate theparched prairie. Far from being wild, the Bow is now very much a humanproduct: its fish are as manufactured as its altered flow, changed water quality,and newly stabilized and forested banks. The River Returns brings the story ofthe Bow River’s transformation full circle through an exploration of the recentrevolution in environmental thinking and regulation that has led to new limitson what might be done with and to the river.

Rivers have been studied from many perspectives, but too often the rela-tionship between nature and people, between rivers and the cultures that havegrown up beside them, have been separated. The River Returns illuminates theways in which humans, both inadvertently and consciously, have interactedwith nature to make the Bow.

Christopher Armstrong is co-author, with H.V. Nelles, of The Painted Valley:Artists Along Alberta’s Bow River, 1845–2000. Matthew Evenden is theauthor of Fish versus Power: An Environmental History of the Fraser River.H.V. Nelles is the author of A Little History of Canada and The Art of NationBuilding among other works.

Disasters occur when hazards of nature strike socio-technological vulner-abilities. While science provides valuable indications of risk, it does not yieldcertainty, yet leaders must make sense of threats. Raymond Murphy’s casestudy of the management of the 1998 ice storm – the most costly disaster everin Canada, northern New York state, and Maine – presents rare interviewswith key political and emergency management leaders that provide an insider’sview of the challenge of responding to extreme weather. They document agenerally well managed crisis, but also reveal the slippery slope from trans-parency to withholding critical information as the crisis deepened, andexamine conflict resolution between leaders during a disaster.

The study looks into whether technological development inadvertentlyconstructed new vulnerabilities to nature’s forces, thereby manufacturing anatural disaster. As this extreme weather may foreshadow what will occurwith global warming, Murphy’s interviews also explore the politics, economics,ethics, and cultural predispositions underlying climate change, investigatinghow modern societies create both risks they assume are acceptable and theburden of managing them. An innovative comparison with Amish commun-ities, where the same extreme weather had trivial consequences, is instructivefor avoiding future socio-environmental calamities.

Raymond Murphy is emeritus professor of sociology, University of Ottawa,president of the Environment and Society Research Committee of theInternational Sociological Association, and the author of numerous books,including Social Closure and Rationality and Nature.

Can a wine really be feminine, profound, or pretentious? Is Château L’EgliseClinet 1989 really a better wine than Château Belair 1989? Does a sommelier’sjudgment have any objective validity or is everyone’s palette different and theadvice of a critic therefore irrelevant? Is a great wine a work of art?

Questions like these have entertained anyone who has ever puzzled over thetasting notes of a wine “expert.” Such questions can be bewildering but theyalso raise fascinating philosophical issues about the nature of sense perception,knowledge, beauty, and meaning. Wine appreciation can reveal importantinsights about ourselves, our interests, and pleasures. In a lively and engagingdiscussion of the philosophical significance of wine, Cain Todd brings much-needed clarity to confusions about wine characteristics and the nature ofexpertise, while championing the objectivity and seriousness of our appre-ciation of wine. Todd shows that to be able to interpret and appreciate thecomplexity and unique values of an object that, at first, is just an alcoholicdrink, is an incredible thing and an experience without which the world wouldbe a poorer place.

Touching on issues in metaphysics, epistemology, and the philosophy ofmind, Todd offers a sustained defence of the objectivity of wine judgments, ademystification of the nature of expertise, and a theory of the aesthetic valueof wine and its appreciation.

Cain Todd is a lecturer in philosophy at Lancaster University.

In Sanctifying Misandry, Katherine Young and Paul Nathanson challenge aninfluential version of modern goddess religion, one that undermines sexualequality and promotes hatred in the form of misandry – the sexist counterpartof misogyny.

To set the stage, the authors discuss two massively popular books – DanBrown’s The Da Vinci Code and Riane Eisler’s The Chalice and the Blade –both of which rely on a feminist conspiracy theory of history. They then showhow some goddess feminists and their academic supporters have turned whatChristians know as the Fall of Man into the fall of men. In the beginning,according to three “documentary” films, our ancestors lived in an egalitarianparadise under the aegis of a benevolent great goddess. But men either rebelledor invaded, replacing the goddess with gods and establishing patriarchies thathave oppressed women ever since. In the end, however, women will restore thegoddess and therefore paradise as well. The book concludes with several casestudies of modern goddess religion and its effects on mainstream religion.

Young and Nathanson show that we can move beyond not only bothgynocentrism and androcentrism but also both misandry and misogyny.

Katherine K. Young is James McGill Professor of religious studies at McGillUniversity. Paul Nathanson is a researcher in religious studies at McGillUniversity. They are co-authors of Spreading Misandry: The Teaching ofContempt for Men in Popular Culture and Legalizing Misandry: From PublicShame to Systemic Discrimination Against Men.

From the now iconic Barack Obama “Hope” poster of the 2008 presidentialcampaign to the pit-head “Camp Hope” of the families of the trapped Chileanminers, the language of hope can be hugely powerful as it draws on resourcesthat are uniquely human and universal. We are beings who hope. But whatdoes that say about us? What is hope and what role does it play in our lives?

In his fascinating and thought-provoking investigation into the meaningof hope, Stan van Hooft shows that hope is a fundamental structure of theway we live our lives. For Aristotle being hopeful was part of a well-lived life,a virtue. For Aquinas it was a fundamentally theological virtue and for Kanta basic moral motivation. It shapes how we view ourselves and the world inwhich we live. Whether we hope for a life after death or for good weathertomorrow – whether our hopes are grand or humble – hoping is part of ouroutlook on life. What we hope for defines who we are.

Drawing on everyday examples as well as more detailed discussion ofhope in the arenas of medicine, politics, and religion, van Hooft shows howhopefulness in not the same as hope and offers a convincing and powerfuldefense of the need for realism. There are few contemporary philosophicaldiscussions of hope and van Hooft’s book offers an accessible and insightfuldiscussion of the topic that shows the relevance of philosophical thinkingand distinctions to this important aspect of human life.

Stan van Hooft is associate professor of philosophy at Deakin University,Australia.

In Darwinian Creativity and MemeticsMaria Kronfeldner examines howDarwinism has been used to explain novelty and change in culture through theDarwinian approach to creativity and the theory of memes. The first claimsthat creativity is based on a Darwinian process of blind variation and selection,while the latter claims that culture is based on and explained by units – memes– that are similar to genes. Both theories try to describe and explain mind andculture by applying Darwinism by way of analogies. Kronfeldner shows thatthe analogies involved in these theories lead to claims that give either wrongor at least no new descriptions or explanations of the phenomena at issue.

Whereas the two approaches are usually defended or criticized on the basisthat they are dangerous for our vision of ourselves, this book takes a differentperspective: it questions the acuteness of these approaches. Darwinian theoryis not like a dangerous wolf, hunting for our self-image. Far from it, in the caseof the two analogical applications addressed in this book, Darwinian theoryis shown to behave more like a disoriented sheep in wolf’s clothing.

Maria Kronfeldner is assistant professor of philosophy at theUniversity of Bielefeld.

The rediscovery of Idealism is an unmistakable feature of contemporaryphilosophy. Heavily criticised by the dominant philosophies of the twentiethcentury, it is being reconsidered in the twenty-first as a rich and untappedresource for contemporary philosophical arguments and concepts. Idealismis philosophy on a grand scale, combining micro and macroscopic problemsinto systematic accounts of everything from the nature of the universe tothe particulars of human feeling. In consequence, it offers perspectives oneverything from the natural to the social sciences, from ecology to criticaltheory. Since Idealism is sometimes considered antiscience, however, this bookplaces particular emphasis on its naturalism. Written for a broad readership,the book provides the fullest possible introduction to this most philosophicalof philosophical movements.

Jeremy Dunham, Iain Hamilton Grant, and Sean Watson are all membersof the philosophy department at the University of the West of England.

As the founding father of phenomenology, Edmund Husserl has been hugelyinfluential in the development of contemporary continental philosophy. InThe Philosophy of Husserl, Burt Hopkins shows that the unity of Husserl’sphilosophical entreprise is found in its investigation of the origns of cognition,being, meaning, and ultimately philosophy itself.

Hopkins begins his study with Plato’s written and unwritten theories of eidêand Aristotle’s criticism of both. He then traces Husserl’s early investigationsinto the formation of mathematical and logical concepts, charting the criticalnecessity that leads from descriptive psychology to transcendentally purephenomenology. An investigation of the movement of Husserl’s phenomenologyof transcendental consciousness to that of monadological intersubjectivityfollows. Hopkins then presents the final stage of the development of Husserl’sthought, which situates monadological intersubjectivity within the contextof the historical a priori constitutive of all meaning. An exposition of theunwarranted historical presuppositions that guide Heidegger’s fundamentalontological and Derrida’s deconstructive criticisms of Husserl’s transcendentalphenomenology concludes the book.

By following Husserl’s personal trajectory Hopkins is able to show theunity of Husserl’s philosophical enterprise, challenging the prevailing viewthat Husserl’s late turn to history is inconsistent with his earlier attemptsto establish phenomenology as a pure science.

Burt C. Hopkins is professor of philosophy at Seattle University.

The Philosophy of Husserl

burt c. hopkins

Challenging prevailing views on the originsof phenomenology.

How can the fine-grained phenomenology of conscious experience arise fromneural processes in the brain? How does a set of action potentials (nerveimpulses) become like the feeling of pain in one’s experience? Contemporaryneuroscience is teaching us that our mental states correlate with neuralprocesses in the brain. However, although we know that experience arisesfrom a physical basis, we do not have a good explanation of why and howit so arises. The problem of how physical processes give rise to experienceis called the “hard problem” of consciousness and it is the contemporarymanifestation of the mind-body problem.

This book explains the key concepts that surround the issue as well asthe nature of the hard problem and the several approaches to it. It givesa comprehensive treatment of the phenomenon, incorporating its mainmetaphysical and epistemic aspects as well as recent empirical findings,such as the phenomena of blindsight, change blindness, visual-form agnosiaand optic ataxia, mirror recognition in other primates, split-brain cases,and visual extinction.

Dimitris Platchias lectures in philosophy at the University of Glascow.

Decades before the environmental movement emerged in the 1960s, Adornocondemned our destructive and self-destructive relationship to the naturalworld. Adorno on Nature presents the first detailed examination of the pivotalrole of the idea of natural history in Adorno’s work.

Adorno warns of the catastrophe that may result if we continue to treatnature as an object that exists exclusively for our own benefit. A comparisonof Adorno’s concerns with those of key ecological theorists – social ecologistMurray Bookchin, ecofeminist Carolyn Merchant, and deep ecologist ArneNaess – reveals how Adorno speaks directly to many of today’s most pressingenvironmental issues. Ending with a discussion of the philosophical conundrumof unity in diversity, Adorno on Nature also explores how social solidarity canbe promoted as a necessary means of confronting environmental problems.

Deborah Cook is professor of philosophy at the University of Windsor. She isthe author of Adorno, Habermas, and the Search for a Rational Society andeditor of Theodor Adorno: Key Concepts.

“Deborah Cook clearly and carefully explores how Adorno’s concern withnature organises his whole philosophy. She shows the relevance of his work forunderstanding the environmental crisis.” Alison Stone, Lancaster University

Adorno on Nature

deborah cook

“An illuminating study of the concept of nature inAdorno and how it emerges and remains a centralcomponent of his work, undergirding the keythemes of his philosophy.” Douglas Kellner, UCLA

Explaining consciousness is one of the last great unanswered scientificand philosophical problems. Immediately known, familiar and obvious,consciousness is also baffling, opaque, and strange. How and when did webecome conscious? What exactly is consciousness? A gift from God? Somekind of emergent property of our brain? A sequence of electrical sparksof electro-chemical neural activity?

This introduction to these and many of the other problems posed byconsciousness discusses the most important work of cognitive science,neurophysiology, and philosophy of the past thirty years and presentsan up-to-date assessment of the issues and debates.

Rex Welshon is associate professor of philosophy at the University ofColorado at Colorado Springs.

Questions of God’s existence have exercised philosophers since antiquity. Arethere adequate reasons to think that God exists? And, if God exists, what isGod like? In this book Jay Wood provides a sustained and fresh examinationof these central questions.

The first part of the book addresses the epistemological concerns, focusingon arguments for and against the claim that theism is rationally justifiable.These include discussion of cosmological arguments, the ontological argument,the argument from design, and the moral argument for God’s existence. Meta-physical questions about God’s nature, in particular God’s knowledge andpower, and the nature of religious experience constitute the second part of thebook. Epistemological and metaphysical questions are shown to be relatedsince, if the concept of a God perfect in wisdom, power, and goodness isincoherent, it cannot be reasonable to believe that God exists.

Throughout his discussion Wood draws on the most recent writings in thefield as well as classic arguments and offers readers a clear, balanced, andincisive analysis of the core philosophical arguments for the existence of God.The book equips readers with the necessary understanding of issues in naturaltheology that will enable them to tackle more specialized and complexquestions in the philosophy of religion.

W. Jay Wood is professor of philosophy at Wheaton College, Illinois.

“Jay Wood’s book is truly wise, insightful, engaging, and up-to date. Even-handed and fair-minded, this text is a terrific introduction to the philosophyof religion.” Paul Copan, Palm Beach Atlantic University, Florida

Philosophy, Neuroscience,and Consciousness

For years, students of social movements and other forms of contentious actionhave been sharply divided over what motivates people to engage in protest.Early on, analysts generally agreed that participation in acts of protest wasmotivated by various deprivations pushing toward action. Newer perspectivesbegan to reject these views, holding that grievances were permanent andubiquitous, and could not therefore explain new forms of action. Goodsto be pursued were then seen as the essential and pulling motivational force.However, even those came to be seen as inessential and the focus turnedtoward structural factors such as organizations, resources, opportunities,and mobilization as the crucial determinants of protest.

After exposing the limitations of these conflicting perspectives, MauricePinard elaborates on an entirely new synthesis, one that involves severalmotivational components. The pushing force of felt grievances, now withqualifications, is brought back but accompanied, or at times replaced, byother forces, such as feelings of moral obligation or simple aspirations. Withregard to pulling factors, collective goods or goals pursued can be involvedor replaced by individual material or social rewards granted to participants.Expectancy of success, a generally neglected component, also enters thepicture. Finally, the effect of emotions and collective identities are amongadditional factors that must be considered.

For many years nationalism has been associated with political demands byminority nations that challenge the rights of the central state. However, overthe last two decades many works have challenged this perspective, arguingthat nationalism – as a political phenomenon – is likely to emerge among bothmajority and minority nations.

In light of a renewed interest in the study of nationalism, ContemporaryMajority Nationalism brings together a group of major scholars committed tomaking sense of this widespread phenomenon. To better illustrate the realityof majority nationalism and the way it has been expressed, authors combineanalytical and comparative perspectives. In the first section, contributors high-light the paradox of majority nationalism and the ways in which collectiveidentities become national identities. The second section offers in-depth casestudy analyses of France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Canada, and theUnited States.

Every year when the temperature drops below freezing, countless people doas the thermometers do – head south. Since the end of the Second World War,Florida has been one of the most desired vacation and retirement destinationsfor generations of “snowbirds.” Florida’s Snowbirds examines the effects ofthe seasonal migration, not only for travellers but also for local Floridians.

Developing numerous themes, including leisure, state-promoted tourism,citizenship, and business investment, Godefroy Desrosiers-Lauzon considersadvertisements, movies, policymakers, and the behaviour of snowbirds inFlorida to provide the most thorough study of the vacation state to date.He also looks at the temporary communities of Canadians, Québecois, NewEnglanders, and Mid-Westerners that develop, showing how they blur thelines that usually divide national and regional identities, and youth and age.

An insightful work full of amusing details, Florida’s Snowbirds piecestogether a complete cultural atlas of Florida snowbirds that goes far beyondthe familiar postcards they send home

From the end of the Second World War to the early 1980s, the North Americannorm was that men had full-time jobs, earned a “family wage,” and expectedto stay with the same employer for life. In households with children, mostwomen were unpaid caregivers. This situation began to change in the mid-1970sas two-earner households became commonplace, with women entering employ-ment through temporary and part-time jobs. Since the 1980s, less permanentprecarious employment has increasingly become the norm for all workers.Working Without Commitments offers a new understanding of the social

and health impacts of this change in the modern workplace, where out-sourcing, limited term contracts, and the elimination of pensions and healthbenefits have become the new standard. Using information from interviewsand surveys with workers in less permanent employment, the authors showhow precarious employment affects the health of workers, labour productivity,and the sustainability of the traditional family model.

A timely and relevant work for uncertain economic times,Working WithoutCommitments provides helpful information for understanding the presentworkplace and securing better futures for today’s workforce.

In 1931, ninety-nine percent of Montreal’s sixty thousand Jews reported thatYiddish was their mother tongue. In the succeeding decades, Yiddish culturehas continued to have a prominent place in Montreal’s social landscape. InJewish Roots, Canadian Soil, Rebecca Margolis shows that the city’s vibrantYiddish culture is the legacy of a driven group of the city’s Jews who devotedthemselves to the revitalization of the Jewish community, creating a long-lasting infrastructure and institutions that have bolstered Yiddish identity.

Looking at Montreal’s Jewish community during the first half of thetwentieth century, Margolis explores the lives and works of activists, writers,scholars, performers, and organizations that fuelled a still-thriving community.She also considers the foundations and development of Yiddish cultural life inMontreal in its interaction with broader issues of diasporic Jewish culture.

An illuminating look at the ways in which Yiddish culture was maintainedin North America, Jewish Roots, Canadian Soil is the story of how a minorityculture was transplanted and transformed.

Rebecca Margolis is an associate professor in the Vered Jewish CanadianStudies Program at the University of Ottawa.

In 1931, Toronto’s Jews could be found in areas as varied as the stalls ofsquawking chickens and vegetable vendors in Kensington Market and grandhouses in far north Forest Hill. Over the course of the 1930s and 1940s, theywere transformed into an organized and cohesive community. Imposing TheirWill examines the achievements of Toronto’s Jewish community leaders andthe organizational infrastructure they established during the volatile years ofthe Depression and the Second World War.

Showing how issues such as immigration restrictions, poverty, anti-Semitism,and the Holocaust contributed to cooperation between institutions and indivi-duals, Jack Lipinsky provides compelling insights into the formation of oneof the world’s great Jewish communities. He studies the re-emergence of theCanadian Jewish Congress, the establishment of the Toronto Free HebrewSchool, the rise of professionalism in the various philanthropic organisations,and traces the community’s shift away from the influence of Montreal.

An illuminating look at the growth and strength of a community, ImposingTheir Will provides valuable new ways to understand Canadian Jewry, thediaspora, ethnic governance, and the development of Canadian multiculturalism.

Jack Lipinsky holds a PhD in history from the University of Toronto, lecturesin its School of Continuing Studies, teaches at Robbins Hebrew Academy, andis the spiritual coordinator of the Stashow-Slipi Congregation.

Labour relations in the public elementary and secondary school system isa vital area of Canadian public policy with important direct and indirecteffects on society. However, at many times and in many jurisdictions teacherbargaining has been regarded as profoundly unsuccessful.

Taking an inter-provincial comparative approach, Dynamic Negotiationsidentifies potential avenues of reform. Academic and legal experts describe andanalyse the history, current structure, and functioning of bargaining in publicelementary and secondary schools in five key jurisdictions – Alberta, BritishColumbia, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec – representing a spectrum ofapproaches.

This is a vital area of public policy that is much discussed but not wellenough understood. The volume is a valuable resource for policy-makers,academics, and practitioners in education and labour relations.

Case studies make learning come alive. They tell a story. They mirror real life.They can also be actual experiences. They add elements of problem-solving,complexity, and messiness to thinking about the challenging world of publicadministration. Case studies let practitioners share knowledge, insight, andcautionary tales from their own experience. They can help in avoiding there-invention of wheels that often happens across governments.

Written for educators and government officials who want to use case studiesto share knowledge,Making the Case focuses on the use, writing, and teachingof public administration case studies.

On June 26, 1985, on a bright summer day on the lawn of the OntarioLegislature, David Peterson did the impossible – he was sworn in as the firstLiberal Ontario Premier in forty-two years, breaking the hold on governmentof the province’s Progressive Conservative party.

From 1985 to 1987, after concluding a historic accord with the Ontariondp, Peterson headed a minority government. In 1987, Ontario votersrewarded the Peterson Liberals with a massive majority victory in that year’sprovincial election. Three years later, Peterson was defeated by the sameOntario ndp. Truly a Magic Moment brings together academics and partisansto examine the legacy of the governments led by Ontario’s twentieth premier,twenty-five years after that historic swearing-in at Queen’s Park.

Arthur Milnes, Inaugural Fellow in Political History at Queen’s UniversityArchives, is the veteran political history columnist for the Hill Times. Heserved as research assistant to former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and as apolitical assistant to various mpps and ministers in the Peterson government.

Arthur Meighen’s Unrevised and Unrepented, a collection of addresses deliveredby Canada’s ninth prime minister during all parts of his career, was firstreleased to great acclaim in 1949. This new edition, featuring a forewordby Prime Minister Stephen Harper, is being released to mark the nintiethanniversary of Meighen’s first becoming prime minister in July of 1920.Unrevised and Unrepented II includes additional speeches by Meighen as

well as articles on and tributes to him. Using the family’s private files, ArthurMilnes offers a more complete and fascinating tour through twentieth-centuryCanadian and world political affairs. In the foreword, Prime Minister Harperplaces the Meighen legacy in context for today’s generation: “Though ArthurMeighen’s time as prime minister was relatively brief, his legacy, as this volumeattests, lives on. Regardless of party, observers then and now still rank him asperhaps the greatest debater and orator in Canadian political history. Hisaddresses are both legion and legendary.”

Subnational tax autonomy is a cornerstone of a viable system of fiscalfederalism. The underlying principle is that spending by constituent unitsin a federal or quasi federal country is paid for by revenues that are underthe control of that unit. Economists recommend that the taxation base remainthe same across all constituent units in a country to minimize administrativeand compliance costs as well as tax avoidance activities.

There are important differences between constituent units of federal orquasi-federal states in oecd countries with respect to both powers for tax-ation of personal income and the use made of such powers, if any. SubnationalTax Autonomy in OECD Federations examines tax autonomy as a powerfultool in setting tax rates. Two key issues are examined in detail: first, whyproposals giving more power to set tax rates have been implemented (Spain),put forward (uk), stalled (Belguim), or set aside (Germany), and second,how such powers are used in federations whose constituent units have them(Canada, Switzerland, and the United States).

In the turbulent years between 1944 and 1947, Hungarian politics was markedby constant conflict between the two most powerful parties in the governingcoalition – the Independent Smallholders Party and the Communist Party. Thehistory of this struggle reads like a series of moves in a dramatic chess game,where no one could predict the outcome.

In Chess Game for Democracy, Mária Palasik examines this ill-fatedconflict to explain how it was possible for the parties to work together in acoalition government, while constantly at odds with each other. Her recon-struction of the debates over the introduction of the law to protect the republicagainst conspiracy and the politics behind the Hungarian Brotherhood showtrial are grounded in her pathbreaking research in the archives of the statesecurity agencies.

Through the case study of a single country, Chess Game for Democracymakes a major contribution to ongoing debates on the origins of the ColdWar in Europe and the process of Sovietization in Central and Eastern Europe,improving our understanding of European history post World War Two andof the reasons for changing relations between the superpowers.

mária palasik

A political history of the dramatic struggle for power in Hungaryafter the SecondWorldWar.

Political commentators were surprised at the re-emergence of right-wingparties in Western Europe in the 1970s and early 1980s given that right-wingextremists had largely disappeared from successful electoral politics after theend of the Second World War. Since their resurgence, such parties have becomepermanent fixtures across Europe. The Re-invention of the European RadicalRight examines what accounts for their initial rise and their continued successas well as how they should be classified: are they fascist, neo-fascist, radical,extreme, or populist?

Combining an in-depth case study of the Italian Northern League with acomparative focus on other parties, Andrej Zaslove employs a socio-economic,institutional, and ideological analysis to argue that the new wave of right-wingparties in Western Europe converged into a radical right populist party familyin the 1990s. He examines the transformation of the Northern League from itsregionalist roots while focusing on the party’s nationalism, authoritarianism,support for a market economy, opposition to globalization, and scepticismregarding Italian integration into the European Union. He also scrutinizes theNorthern League’s participation in political power between 2001 and 2006and its influence on federalism, immigration, economic policy, and Europeanintegration.

A thorough and thought-provoking work, The Re-invention of theEuropean Radical Right offers remarkable insight into the ongoing effectsof radical right populism on politics and public policy in Europe.

Andrej Zaslove is an assistant professor of comparative politics atRadboud University.

Intended as a riposte to the Anglo-American capture of Louisbourg in 1745,the so-called d’Enville expedition set out from France the following yearto secure Canada, recapture Acadia and Louisbourg, and ravage the NewEngland coast as far south as Boston. Many of the sixty-four French vesselsinvolved did not return and estimates of the dead reached as high as eightthousand. Yet the enemy was never met in battle. James Pritchard’s accountof this naval fiasco sheds new light on the extent of the tragedy and raisesquestions about the role and effectiveness of naval power during the inter-colonial wars of the mid-eighteenth century.

Pritchard describes the domestic and international political circumstancesin France that gave rise to the expedition, outlining strategy and politics inthe context of colonial defence and continental ambition. He reconstructsthe events that contributed to the failure of the expedition – human andinstitutional weakness, weather, spoiled provisions, disease, and the deathof the commanding admiral.Anatomy of a Naval Disaster exposes the ambitions and frailties of men,

the arbitrariness of success, and the limits of power in the eighteenth century.

James Pritchard is a member of the Department of History atQueen’s University.

Anatomy of a Naval DisasterThe 1746 French Expeditionto North America

james pritchard

A compelling account of one of the most ambitiousand catastrophic French naval expeditions in theeighteenth century.

Ezra Pound (1885–1972) is widely remembered not only as one of the mostinfluential voices in twentieth-century literary modernism, but also forhis notorious anti-Semitic writings and radio broadcasts that supportedMussolini’s Italian Fascist regime. His ideological turn from poetics andaestheticism to extremist economics and politics has long been an area ofcontroversy within literary studies. One Must Not Go Altogether with theTide collects the letters between Pound and London publisher Stanley Nott(1887–1978) to open a door to Pound’s thinking and publications duringthe 1930s.

Nott, who published Jefferson and/or Mussolini (1935), was an interestedand encouraging interlocutor for a poet seeking re-invention as an economistand political commentator – someone who sustained Pound as he swamagainst the tide. Pound’s close involvement with his publisher illuminatesan important episode in literary modernism as well as for the study of printculture in the interwar period. This edition of the letters retains Pound’sidiosyncratic epistolary idiom and analyzes letter-writing as a genre criticalto Pound’s intellectual and cultural project, capturing Pound as a collaboratorat work.

Miranda B. Hickman is an associate professor in the Department of Englishat McGill University.

Frank Kermode famously commented that the “correlation between earlymodernist literature and authoritarian politics” was “more often noticed thanexplained.” Dreams of a Totalitarian Utopia examines in detail the politicalwritings of three of modernism’s best known and most criticized fascistsympathisers: T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and Wyndam Lewis.

While these authors’ political inclinations are well known and muchdiscussed, previous studies have failed to adequately analyse the surroundingpolitical circumstances that informed the specific utopian aspirations in eachwriter’s works. Balancing a thorough knowledge of their works with anunderstanding of the political climate of the early twentieth century, LeonSurette provides new insights into the motivations and development of eachwriter’s respective political postures. Dreams of a Totalitarian Utopia examinestheir political commentary and their correspondence with each other from1910s to the 1950s.

Contextualizing their political thought in a world troubled by two worldwars, the Great Depression, and the Bolshevik Revolution, Surette traces theirshared concerns and the divergent responses of each of these figures in thehistorical moment to the risk they perceived of democracies becoming thepawns of commercial and industrial elites, leading to war and mindless con-sumerism. They all leaned toward autocratic solutions, though Pound andLewis eventually admitted their error.

Leon Surette is an emeritus professor of English at the University of WesternOntario. His previous books include The Modern Dilemma: Wallace Stevens,T.S. Eliot, and Humanism and The Birth of Modernism: Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot,W.B. Yeats, and the Occult.

Dreams of a Totalitarian UtopiaLiterary Modernism and Politics

leon surette

An compelling reassessment of the politics of fascist sympathisersin the modernist movement.

A.M. Klein has remained an enduring but elusive presence in the Canadianliterary consciousness since his death in 1972. Klein’s legacy has been mixed,his literary achievement sometimes overshadowed by his reclusiveness andwithdrawal from the literary world.Failure’s Opposite presents a fresh perspective on Klein’s reception and

legacy, exploring why he has remained a compelling figure for critics andreaders. His experimentalism drew upon strong traditions and fluency inseveral languages – English, French, Yiddish, and Hebrew – allowing him todevelop a multilingual, modernist Jewish voice that is a touchstone for under-standing Canada’s multicultural identity. His struggle with the emotional andhistorical dimensions of diaspora is of considerable importance throughouthis work and is investigated through the lenses of translation, voice, and hisrelationship to other Jewish writers. Contributors also re-evaluate Klein’sconnection to Montreal and the original ways in which he captured theatmosphere of his “jargoning city.”Failure’s Opposite reflects the many ways A.M. Klein is being remade,

refashioned, and reconstructed in the twenty-first century, both as a bridgeto the past and a model for contemporary critical and creative work inCanadian literature.

Norman Ravvin, chair of the Concordia Institute for Canadian Jewish Studies,is a fiction and non-fiction writer and editor. His books include A House ofWords: Jewish Writing, Identity, and Memory. Sherry Simon is the authorof numerous books, including Translating Montreal: Episodes in the Life ofa Divided City. She teaches in the French Studies Department at ConcordiaUniversity in Montreal.

Thirteen diverse essays in Chora 6 reconsider cultural and historical rootsof architecture and explore contemporary venues for architectural action.

Different concepts of the machine are pursued in essays on Fritz Lang’sMetropolis, Alfred Jarry’s pataphysical machines, and cosmological andpolitical orders in sixteenth-century utopias. Cross-cultural tensions areexamined in essays on the Christian appropriation of Aztec symbolism, andon Jesuit perspectives in an imperial Chinese garden in Beijing. Architecturalorigins and education are revisited in essays on fire and language in Vitruvius,on storytelling by Spanish theorist Juan Caramuel de Lobkowitz, and on therole of history in the design of the Prato della Valle, a public square in Padua.

Phenomenal experience is the focus of essays on light and stone in theGothic church of Saint-Denis, and on bodily movement through the ancientPalace of Minos at Knossos in Crete. Tensions in architectural representationare investigated in essays on the influence of Villard de Honnecourt ondrawings by William Burges in Victorian England, and on Stendhal’s curiousnarrative drawings in his book Vie de Henry Brulard. Contemporary beliefsare scrutinized in an essay that uses psychoanalytic theory to examine themodern concept of sustainability.

Alberto Pérez-Gómez holds the Saidye Rosner Bronfman Chair of the Historyof Architecture at McGill University. He is the author of several books,including Built Upon Love: Architectural Longing after Ethics and Aesthetics.Stephen Parcell is professor of architecture at Dalhousie University.

In Ideological Perspectives on Canada, PatriciaMarchak builds on her earlier descriptions ofCanadian reality – its liberalism and socialism –to argue that today’s corporatism differs from itsforerunners in both its values and its definitionof society.

Marchak argues that liberalism and socialismhave many commonalities, such as the goals ofequality and freedom for citizens. Corporatism,however, is opposed to equality and promotesan authoritarian hierarchy, resembling the olderconservative ideology. To support her argument,Marchak provides a general overview of the studyof ideologies, analyzes liberalism and socialism inthe context of Canada, and uses Marxist theory toexplain past and present class structure and theemergence of a corporatist social structure.

A valuable contribution to the debate aboutthe society we live in, Ideological Perspectives onCanada attempts to look at ideologies from anobjective standpoint, while admitting that analystscan never fully remove themselves from the webof their own society, which in the Canadian case issteeped in liberalism, socialism, and corporatism.

M. Patricia Marchak (1936–2010), former dean ofarts, University of British Columbia, is the authorof several books, including No Easy Fix, Loggingthe Globe, The Integrated Circus, God’s Assassins,and Reigns of Terror.

In an expanding economy, growing corporationsdemand less government interference in theirinternal affairs. This has never meant less financialsupport, less use of force in times of unrest orlabour strife, or less public involvement in thedevelopment of an infrastructure for industry. Butit has meant less restriction on appetites for profit,less social welfare legislation, and fewer traderestrictions except when trade restrictions areseen as beneficial by dominant class.

In In Whose Interests, Patricia Marchak adoptsa critical perspective, arguing that multinationalcorporations do not operate in the interests ofsociety at large or in the interests of a nationalsociety such as Canada. Creating and sustaining aset of interests particular to their own well-beingand growth, they are efficient organizations forwhich human labour and management of technicalresources are primarily of monetary value. Suchresources, along with natural materials, aremanaged by and for corporations so that tech-nology, labour, and knowledge are harnessed tocorporate growth rather than social welfare.

Colonial administrator and diarist John Salusbury(1707–1762) was a witness to the imperial chessgame played by Britain and France for control ofthe New World. A founder of the city of Halifax,he kept a diary while in Nova Scotia, capturingvaluable first-hand information about the strugglesfaced by settlers caught between the disputedborders of English and French North America.Expeditions of Honour presents the entirety

of Salusbury’s diary, supplemented with a bio-graphical introduction, historical notes on eventsand major figures, and the letters he sent to hiswife. Selected in 1749 to serve on the first Halifaxcouncil and to supervise the granting and allo-cation of land, he eventually lost the confidence ofGovernor Edward Cornwallis and was graduallyexcluded from his inner circle. Salusbury turnedto his journal, where he documented such mattersas the colony’s lack of funds, the encroachmentof commercial influence from New Englandmerchants, and the ways in which public officialsinflated their reputations.

A fascinating glimpse into the life on an earlysettler, Expeditions of Honour also offers anaccount of the conflict between imperial powersand some of the factors that lead to the SevenYears War.

Ronald Rompkey is University Research Professorin the Department of English at MemorialUniversity of Newfoundland.

According to conventional historical wisdom, Irish nationalism in Canada wasa marginal phenomenon – overshadowed by the more powerful movement inthe United States and eclipsed in Canada by the Orange Order.

The nine contributors in this book argue otherwise – and in doing so makea major and original contribution to our understanding of the Irish experiencein Canada and the place of Irish-Canadian nationalism within an internationalcontext. Focusing on the period 1820 to 1920, they examine political, religious,and cultural expressions of Irish-Canadian nationalism as it responded to Irishevents and Canadian politics. They also look at tensions within the movementbetween those who argued that Ireland should share the same freedom thatCanada enjoyed within the British Empire and revolutionary republicanswho wanted to liberate both Ireland and Canada from the yoke of Britishimperialism.Irish Nationalism in Canada sheds light on questions such as transference

of old world political traditions into North America, the dynamics of ethno-religious conflict, and state responses to a revolutionary minority within anethno-religious group.

David A. Wilson, a professor in the Celtic Studies Program and the Depart-ment of History at the University of Toronto, is the author of several books,most recently Thomas D’Arcy McGee, Volume 1: Passion, Reason, andPolitics, 1825–1857.

In today’s colleges and universities, whether students succeed depends in largepart on access to effective services that can support and guide them in pursuitof their educational goals. Policy and practice in the field of student serviceshas been largely based on professional literature from US sources. DonnaHardy Cox and Carney Strange offer the first comprehensive description ofprofessional student services in Canadian colleges and universities from theperspective of the practitioner-scholars who create and lead them.

Hardy Cox and Strange begin with an overview of student services dealingwith the matriculation of post-secondary students – through enrolmentmanagement, financial assistance, and orientation to the institution andaccommodation – and then discuss housing and residence life, studentleadership programs, systems of judicial and academic integrity, and studentsupport and adjustment through counselling, health and wellness initiatives,career and employment advice, and a variety of services that can respond toa variety of needs.

Donna Hardy Cox is an associate professor of social work at MemorialUniversity. C. Carney Strange is professor of higher education and studentaffairs at Bowling Green State University and co-author of Educating byDesign: Creating Campus Learning Environments That Work.

In Canada and around the world, online communication has led to a newuniversal language. In Technology and NationalismMarco Adria argues thattechnology has often played a decisive but unnoticed role in shaping the waysin which citizens develop allegiances to regions and nations. Presenting threecase studies that demonstrate how technology expands and strengthensregional identities, Adria uses topical examples such as advanced weapons fornational defence and radio broadcasting to offer a new perspective on theinternet and its developing relationship to social identity in Canada.

Revisiting Marshall McLuhan’s work on the ways that technologiesinfluence societies, Adria reconsiders the effects technologies have had onCanadian regionalism and nationalism. Offering key insights into mediahistory, the author outlines the influence that newspapers, radio, and televisionhave had in forming a mindset ready to welcome the internet age.

As the digital revolution continues to shape the world into a global village,Technology and Nationalism provides a detailed and overdue reflection on theinfluence of technology on the social and political bonds we form and inhabit.

Marco Adria is associate professor of communications and director of theGraduate Program in Communications and Technology at the Universityof Alberta.

Canadians have come to accept that the Supreme Court of Canada’s inter-pretation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms reigns supreme. In Not QuiteSupreme, Dennis Baker challenges this assumption and outlines a frameworkfor an alternative judicial model in which Parliament’s interpretations of theCharter share equal legitimacy and authority with the Court.

Baker argues that coordinate interpretation – a model which requires bothelected and appointed officials to interpret the Charter – allows for thecreation of a more robust democracy, alleviating some of the tension betweenconstitutionalism and democracy while limiting judicial activism. Drawingon literature from Montesquieu to recent court decisions, Not Quite Supremegives an extensive critique of both Canadian and American judicial models andexplores the tensions between the separation of powers in both countries.

Dennis Baker is an assistant professor of political science at the Universityof Guelph.

“Cogently argued and easy to read, this book is a serious piece of scholarship.It belongs in the company of books by some of America’s most distinguishedlegal scholars.”Donald P. Kommers, Faculty of Law, University of Notre Dame
