Unlike other efforts to make sense of the tragedy
of the commons of the northern cod fishery and
its halting recovery, Bavington calls into question
the very premise of management and managerial
ecology and offers a critical explanation that seeks to
uncover alternatives obscured by this dominant way
of relating to nature.
– Bonnie McCay, Department of Human Ecology,
Rutgers University
The Newfoundland and Labrador cod fishery was
once the most successful commercial ground
fishery in the world. When it collapsed in 1992,
fishermen, scholars, and scientists pointed to
failures in management such as uncontrolled
harvesting as likely culprits. Managed Annihilation
makes the case that the idea of natural resource
management itself was the problem. The collapse
occurred when the fisheries were state managed
and still, nearly two decades later, there is no
recovery in sight. Although the collapse raised
doubts among policy-makers about their ability
to understand, predict, and control nature, their
ultimate goal of control through management has
not wavered – it has simply been transferred from
wild fish to fishermen and farmed cod.

The Aquaculture Controversy in Canada successfully
negotiates the minefield of partisan positions and
provides a clear way to grasp the multidimensional
character of the aquaculture controversy.
– Jeremy Rayner, University of Regina
The farming of aquatic organisms is one of the most
promising but controversial new industries in Canada.
The industry has the potential to solve food supply
problems, but critics believe it poses unacceptable
threats to human health, local communities, and the
environment. This book is not about the methods and
techniques of aquaculture but an exploration of the
controversy itself. Rather than choosing sides, Nathan
Young and Ralph Matthews present the controversy
as a multi-layered conflict about knowledge, rights,
and development. Comprehensive and balanced, this
book addresses one of the most contentious public
policy and environmental issues facing the world
today.

Praise for the first volume: Without a doubt, this

volume will be a valuable resource that summarizes
current and past scientific literature on habitat

In this stunningly creative book, Joy Parr asks how

plants, canals, military bases – have transformed
local people’s most intimate experience of
themselves and their environments. The examples
are Canadian but the insights are global.
– Conevery Bolton Valencius. author of The Health of
the Country: How American Settlers Understood
Themselves and Their Land
Our bodies are archives of sensory knowledge
that shape how we understand the world. If our
environment changes at an unsettling pace, how will
we make sense of a world that is no longer familiar?
One of Canada’s premier historians tackles this
question by exploring situations in the recent past
where state-driven megaprojects and regulatory
and technological changes forced ordinary people to
cope with transformations that were so radical that
they no longer recognized their home and workplaces
or, by implication, who they were. In concert with a
ground-breaking, creative, and analytical website,
megaprojects.uwo.ca, this timely study offers a
prescient perspective on how humans make sense of
a rapidly changing world.

Beginning a book as Jamie Linton does this one, with
the claim that “water is what we make of it,” is an
act of provocation ... Just as a stone thrown into a
lake spreads ripples outward across its surface, so
Linton’s provocation sends intellectual shock waves
hammering into pervasive ways of understanding and
defining water, invites reflection on the ways in which
people have thought about water in the past, and
heightens awareness of the consequences that will
flow from what we make of water in the future.
– from the Foreword by Graeme Wynn
We all know what water is, and we often take it
for granted. But the spectre of a worldwide water
crisis suggests that there might be something
fundamentally wrong with the way we think about
water. Jamie Linton dives into the history of water as
an abstract concept, stripped of its environmental,
social, and cultural contexts. Reduced to a scientific
abstraction – to mere H20 – this concept has
given modern society licence to dam, divert, and
manipulate water with apparent impunity. Part of
the solution to the water crisis involves reinvesting
water with social content, thus altering the way we
see water. What Is Water? offers a fresh approach to a
fundamental problem.

This book is a solid contribution to the political

– Peter Stoett, Department of Political Science,
Concordia University
As oil reserves decline and the environment takes
centre stage in public policy discussions, the merits
and dangers of nuclear power and nuclear waste
management are once again being debated. Nuclear
Waste Management in Canada provides a critical
counterpoint to the position of government and
industry by examining not only the technical but also
the social and ethnical aspects of the issue. What
do frequently used terms such as safety, risk, and
acceptability really mean? And how and why did the
public consultation process in Canada fail to address
ethical and social issues? This timely collection
defuses the uncertainty, ambiguity, and ignorance
that surrounds discussions of nuclear energy.

Liza Piper’s book couples an impressive command
of archival sources and empirical detail with
an unusually diverse range of scholarship, and
demonstrates a creative intelligence that ultimately
brings readers to think about the meanings
embedded in language, metaphor, and imagination.
– From the Foreword by Graeme Wynn
Between 1821 and 1960, industrial economies
took root in the North, transgressing political
geographies and superseding the historically
dominant fur trade. Imported southern scientists
and sojourning labourers worked the Northwest,
and its industrial history bears these newcomers’
imprint. The Industrial Transformation of Subarctic
Canada reveals the history of human impact upon the
North. It provides a baseline, grounded in historical
and scientific evidence, for measuring Subactic
environmental change. Liza Piper examines the
sustainability of industrial economies, the value of
resource exploitation in volatile ecosystems, and the
human consequences of northern environmental
change. She also addresses northern communities’
historical resistance to external resource
development and their fight for survival in the face of
intensifying environmental and economic pressures.

The Nurture of Nature represents a major study of an
important but neglected subject. It is an important
contribution to the study of leisure and recreation
in Canada, to the understanding of the character of
modernity, and to the history of summer camps.
– Keith Walden, Department of History, Trent
University
Thousands of children attended summer camps in
twentieth-century Ontario. Did parents simply want
a break, or were broader developments at play? The
Nurture of Nature explores how competing cultural
tendencies – antimodern nostalgia and modern
sensibilities about the landscape, child rearing,
and identity – shaped the development of summer
camps and, consequently, modern social life in North
America. A valuable resource for those interested in
the connections between the history of childhood,
the natural environment, and recreation, The Nature
of Nurture will also appeal to anyone who has been
packed off to camp and wants to explore why.

This book helps reorient environmental discussions
in Canada away from standard revisionist policy
approaches toward a deeper consideration of how
democratic aspirations can push back against
the tight policy monopolies that control the
environmental agenda in Canada. This perspective
is absolutely central to addressing [our country’s]
environmental problems.
– Ray Rogers, York University
The urgent need to resolve conflicts over forests,
fisheries, farming practices, urban sprawl, and
greenhouse-gas reductions, among many others,
calls for a critical re-thinking of the nature of
our democracy and citizenship. This work aims to
move the ideas of green democracy and ecological
citizenship from the margins to the centre of
discussion and debate in Canada. Environmental
Conflict and Democracy in Canada offers sixteen case
studies to demonstrate that environmental conflicts
are always about our rights and responsibilities as
citizens and about the quality of our democratic
institutions. By bringing together environmental
politics and democratic theory, this path-breaking
collection charts a new course for research and
activism, one that reveals the deficits of citizenship
and how democracy must be extended to achieve a
socially just, ecologically sustainable society.

Sustainable management is a problem for all
countries that depend on natural resources. As
global demand for forest products increases,
conserving biodiversity has become more urgent
and challenging. Forestry and Biodiversity advocates
adaptive management – a structured approach
to learning by doing – to sustain biodiversity
in managed forests. It draws on the theory and
principles of conservation biology and forest ecology
and illustrates them, and the challenges they pose,
through a practical, real-world study of commercial
forestry in a coastal temperate rainforest. Accessible
and innovative, it will be of interest to those who plan,
or hope to influence, forest practices and the future
of the environment.

Emerging Technologies
From Hindsight to Foresight
Edited by Edna F. Einsiedel
New technologies emerge all the
time. Some technologies, however, are
transformative: they introduce new forms
of control, both through formal systems
of regulation and by informally shaping
our behaviour. How should we think about
these radical technologies? Too often our
social reactions to new technologies occur
only in hindsight, after a technology has
penetrated the marketplace. However,
recent experience teaches that much
may be gained by practising forethought
and foresight. Emerging Technologies
addresses the ethical, legal, and social
dimensions of emerging technologies and
assesses their social and policy implications.
Contributors examine the development,
impact, and governance of new technologies
emerging from a variety of fields, including
biotechnology, genetics, stem cell research,
pharmacology, and nanotechnology.

Setting the Standard
Certification, Governance, and the
Forest Stewardship Council
Christopher Tollefson, Fred Gale, and
David Haley
Setting the Standard chronicles the
emergence and implications of an ambitious
experiment in civil-society-led global
governance: the Forest Stewardship Council.
The FSC was born in 1993 as a grassroots
initiative to promote “environmentally
appropriate, socially beneficial, and
economically viable management of the
world’s forests” through an international
system of forest certification. The FSC
standard for British Columbia was
achieved only after difficult and protracted
negotiations at the regional, national, and
global levels. Drawing on a pioneering case
study of this negotiation process, Setting
the Standard explores the challenges
associated with implementing the FSC’s
global vision on the ground.

Sins of the Flesh
A History of Ethical Vegetarian
Thought
Rod Preece
Unlike previous books on the history of
vegetarianism, Sins of the Flesh examines
the history of vegetarianism in its ethical
dimensions, from the origins of humanity
through to the present.
Full ethical consideration for animals
resulting in the eschewing of flesh arose
after the Aristotelian period in Greece and
recurred in Ancient Rome, but then mostly
disappeared for centuries. Despite the
occasional presence of ascetic and cultural
vegetarianism, it was not until the turn of
the nineteenth century that vegetarian
thought was revived and enjoyed some
success; it subsequently went into another
period of decline that lasted through much
of the twentieth century. The authority-
questioning cultural revolution of the 1960s
brought a fresh resurgence of vegetarian
ethics that continues to the present day.
Sins of the Flesh is a ground-breaking
history of ethical vegetarianism that will
appeal to all readers concerned with
human-animal relations and the foundations
of animal rights.

Laurier University.

Owls of the United States
and Canada
A Complete Guide to Their Biology
and Behavior
Wayne Lynch
In this gorgeous book, celebrated natural
history writer and wildlife photographer
Wayne Lynch reveals the secrets of these
elusive species with stunning photographs,
personal anecdotes, and accessible science.
The photos alone are masterpieces. Unlike
most published owl photos, the majority of
these were taken in the wild – a product
of the author-photographer’s incredible
knowledge and patience.
Lynch complements the photos with facts
about anatomy, habitat, diet, and family
life. For each of nineteen species inhabiting
Canada and the United States, he provides
a range map and a brief discussion of
its distribution, population size, and
status. Lynch debunks myths about owls’
“supernatural” powers of sight and hearing,
discusses courtship rituals, and offers
personal tips for finding them in the wild.
Wayne Lynch is the author of numerous
award-winning books and television
documentaries. One of Canada’s most widely
published photographers, his books include
Wild Birds across the Prairies, Mountain
Bears, and Penguins of the World . He lives
in Calgary.

Home Is the Hunter
The James Bay Cree and Their Land
Hans M. Carlson
Foreword by Graeme Wynn
The James Bay Cree lived in relative isolation
until 1970, when Northern Quebec was swept
up in the political and cultural changes of
the Quiet Revolution. The ensuing years have
brought immense change for the Cree, who
now live with the consequences of Quebec’s
massive development of hydroelectricity,
timber, and mineral resources in the North.
Home Is the Hunter presents the historical,
environmental, and cultural context from
which this recent story grows. Hans Carlson
shows how the Cree view their lands as their
home, their garden, and their memory of
themselves as a people. By investigating
the Cree’s relationship with the land and
their three hundred years of contact
with outsiders, the author illuminates
the process of cultural negotiation at
the foundation of ongoing political and
environmental debates.
Hans M. Carlson has travelled extensively
in northern Quebec and Labrador by canoe
and snowshoe. He is currently teaching in
the American Indian Studies program at the
University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.

The Reluctant Land
Society, Space, and Environment in
Canada before Confederation
Cole Harris
Winner, 2008 K.D.
Srivastava Prize
for Excellence in
Scholarly Publishing
The Reluctant Land describes the evolving
pattern of settlement and the changing
relationships of people and land in Canada
from the end of the fifteenth century to
the Confederation years of the late 1860s
and early 1870s. It shows how a deeply
indigenous land was reconstituted in
European terms, and, at the same time,
how European ways were recalibrated in
this non-European space. It also shows how
an archipelago of scattered settlement
emerged out of an encounter with a
parsimonious land, and suggests how deeply
this encounter differed from an American
relationship with abundance.
The book begins with a description of land
and life in northern North America in 1500,
and ends by considering the relationship
between the pattern of early Canada and
the country as we know it today. In between,
chapters on Canada and Acadia during
the French regime, Newfoundland, the
Maritimes, Lower and Upper Canada, the
northwestern interior, and British Columbia
treat changing regional relationships among
society, economy, and environment.

Landing Native Fisheries
Indian Reserves and Fishing Rights
in British Columbia, 1849–1925
Douglas C. Harris
Commended for the
2009 Lieutenant-
Governor’s Medal
for Historical
Writing, British
Columbia Historical
Federation
Landing Native Fisheries reveals the
contradictions and consequences of an
Indian land policy premised on access to
fish, on one hand, and a program of fisheries
management intended to open the resource
to newcomers, on the other. Beginning
with the first treaties signed on Vancouver
Island between 1850 and 1854, Douglas
Harris maps the connections between the
colonial land policy and the law governing
the fisheries. In so doing, Harris rewrites the
history of colonial dispossession in British
Columbia, offering a new and nuanced
examination of the role of law in the
consolidation of power within the colonial
state.

Settlers on the Edge
Identity and Modernization on
Russia’s Arctic Frontier
Niobe Thompson
Based on extensive research in the Arctic
Russian region of Chukotka, Settlers on the
Edge is the first English-language account
of settler life anywhere in the circumpolar
north to appear since Robert Paine’s The
White Arctic (1977), and the first to explore
the experiences of Soviet-era migrants to
the far north. Niobe Thompson describes
the remarkable transformation of a
population once dedicated to establishing
colonial power on a northern frontier into a
rooted community of locals now resisting a
renewed colonial project. He also provides
unique insights into the future of identity
politics in the Arctic, the role of resource
capital and the oligarchs in the Russian
provinces, and the fundamental human
questions of belonging and transience.
Niobe Thompson is a documentary
filmmaker, a partner in Clearwater Media,
and a research associate at the Canadian
Circumpolar Institute. He also teaches in
the Department of Anthropology at the
University of Alberta.

Kiumajut (Talking Back)
Game Management and Inuit Rights,
1950–70
Peter Kulchyski and Frank James Tester
Kiumajut [Talking Back]: Game Management
and Inuit Rights 1900–70 examines Inuit
relations with the Canadian state, with
a particular focus on two interrelated
issues. The first is how a deeply flawed set
of scientific practices for counting animal
populations led policymakers to develop
policies and laws intended to curtail
the activities of Inuit hunters. Animal
management informed by this knowledge
became a justification for attempts to
educate and, ultimately, to regulate Inuit
hunters. The second issue is Inuit responses
to the emerging regime of government
intervention. The authors look closely at
resulting court cases and rulings, as well
as Inuit petitions. The activities of the first
Inuit community council are also examined
in exploring how Inuit began to “talk back”
to the Canadian state. This volume provides
the reader with new and important insights
for understanding this critical period in the
history of Inuit in Canada.

Hunting for Empire
Narratives of Sport in Rupert’s Land,
1840–70
Greg Gillespie
Hunting for Empire offers a fresh cultural
history of sport and imperialism. Greg
Gillespie integrates critical perspectives
from cultural studies, literary criticism, and
cultural geography to analyze the themes
of authorship, sport, science, and nature. In
doing so he produces a unique theoretical
lens through which to study nineteenth-
century British big-game hunting and
exploration narratives from the western
interior of Rupert’s Land.
Sharply written and evocatively illustrated,
Hunting for Empire will appeal to students
and scholars of culture, sport, geography,
and history, and to general readers
interested in stories of hunting, empire, and
the Canadian wilderness.

Book Award, Forest
History Society
Winner, 2008 Clio
Award (North),
Canadian Historical
Association
Hunters at the Margin examines the conflict
in the Northwest Territories between
Native hunters and conservationists over
three big game species: the wood bison,
the muskox, and the caribou. John Sandlos
argues that the introduction of game
regulations, national parks, and game
sanctuaries was central to the assertion of
state authority over the traditional hunting
cultures of the Dene and Inuit. His archival
research undermines the assumption that
conservationists were motivated solely by
enlightened preservationism, revealing
instead that commercial interests were
integral to wildlife management in Canada.

The Archive of Place
Unearthing the Pasts of the
Chilcotin Plateau
William Turkel
Winner, 2008 Clio
Award (British
Columbia),
Canadian Historical
Assocation
The Archive of Place weaves together a
series of narratives about environmental
history in a particular location – British
Columbia’s Chilcotin Plateau. In the
mid-1990s, the Chilcotin was at the centre of
three territorial conflicts. Opposing groups,
in their struggle to control the fate of the
region and its resources, invoked different
understandings of its past – and different
types of evidence – to justify their actions.
These controversies serve as case studies,
as William Turkel examines how people
interpret material traces to reconstruct
past events, the conditions under which
such interpretation takes place, and the role
that this interpretation plays in historical
consciousness and social memory. It is
a wide-ranging and original study that
extends the span of conventional historical
research.

Creating a Modern Countryside
Liberalism and Land Resettlement
in British Columbia
James Murton
Winner, 2007 K.D.
Srivastava Prize
for Excellence in
Scholarly Publishing
In the early 1900s, British Columbia
embarked on a brief but intense effort to
manufacture a modern countryside. The
government wished to reward veterans of
the Great War with new lives: soliders and
other settlers would benefit from living
in a rural community, considered a more
healthy and moral alternative to urban
life. But the fundamental reason for the
land resettlement project was the rise of
progressive or “new liberal” thinking, as
reformers advocated an expanded role for
the state in guaranteeing the prosperity and
economic security of its citizens.
Creating a Modern Countryside examines
how this process unfolded, identifies its
successes and failures, and demonstrates
how the human-environment relationship
of the early twentieth century shaped the
province we live in today.

Adaptive Co-Management
Collaboration, Learning, and
Multi-Level Governance
Edited by Derek Armitage, Fikret Berkes,
and Nancy Doubleday
In Canada and around the world,
governments are shifting away from
regulatory models for governing natural
and cultural resources. New ideas
about collaboration and learning are
converging around the idea of adaptive
co-management. This book provides a
comprehensive synthesis of the core
concepts, strategies, and tools in this
emerging field, informed by a diverse group
of researchers and practitioners with over
two decades of experience. It also offers a
diverse set of case studies that reveal the
challenges and implications of adaptive
co-management thinking and synthesizes
lessons for natural and cultural resource
governance in a wide range of contexts.

Awful Splendour
A Fire History of Canada
Stephen J. Pyne
Fire is a defining element in Canadian land
and life. With few exceptions, Canada’s
forests and prairies have evolved with fire.
Its peoples have exploited fire and sought
to protect themselves from its excesses,
and since Confederation, the country has
devised various institutions to connect fire
and society. The choices Canadians have
made says a great deal about their national
character. Awful Splendour narrates the
history of this grand saga. It will interest
geographers, historians, and members of
the fire community.
Stephen J. Pyne is one of the world’s
foremost chroniclers of the cultural and
environmental history of fire. He is the
author of the Cycle of Fire, a suite of six
books examining the history of fire around
the world.

Taking the Air
Ideas and Change in Canada’s
National Parks
Paul Kopas
Natural resource management is a major
area of Canadian policy, as recent literature
reveals. Yet analysts have devoted little
attention to the management of parks and
protected areas. In Taking the Air, Paul
Kopas takes a comprehensive approach to
this aspect of policy debate. He scrutinizes
the policy-making process for national parks
since the mid-1950s and interrogates the
rationale and policies that have governed
their administration.
Kopas argues that national parks and
park policy reflect not only environmental
concerns but also the political and social
attitudes of bureaucrats, citizens, interest
groups, Aboriginal peoples, and legal
authorities. He explores how the goals
of each group have been shaped by the
historical context of park policy, influencing
the shape and weight of their contributions.

Farming in a Changing Climate
Agricultural Adaptation in Canada
Edited by Ellen Wall, Barry Smit, and
Johanna Wandel
Canadian farming has evolved under
the influence of climate and weather –
a process that continues with climate
change. Unfortunately, climate change
risks and opportunities are not always
well understood among researchers and
policy makers in the Canadian agri-food
sector. This book addresses that gap.
Farming in a Changing Climate provides
a wide-ranging synopsis of what climate
change means for Canadian agriculture. The
book explores different approaches to the
topic, and presents examples of current
research. It covers all agricultural regions
and a wide variety of commodity production
and farming systems. Comments from
agricultural producers and policy makers
add a practical component to the book
and emphasize the value of the applied
research.
Ellen Wall is a research scientist in

Genetically Modified Diplomacy
The Global Politics of Agricultural
Biotechnology and the Environment
Peter Andrée
When genetically engineered seeds were
first deployed in the Americas in the
mid-1990s, the biotechnology industry and
its partners envisaged a world in which
their crops would be widely accepted
as the food of the future, providing a
growing population with improved nutrition
and offering farmers more sustainable
production options. Critics, however, raised
a variety of social, environmental, economic,
and health concerns regarding engineered
crops. This clash in perspectives led to a
protracted international struggle over the
establishment of regulations for genetically
engineered organisms (GEOs).
Genetically Modified Diplomacy traces the
emergence of a key outcome of this struggle
– the 2000 Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety
– and the discourse of precaution toward
GEOs that the protocol institutionalized
internationally. The precautionary view is
a significant departure from the way the
biotechnology industry first presented
GEOs to the world. Peter Andrée explains
this reversal in the “common-sense”
understanding of genetic engineering,
and discusses the new debates it has
engendered.

The Culture of Flushing
A Social and Legal History of
Sewage
Jamie Benidickson
To most, the flush of a toilet is routine:
the way we banish waste and ensure
cleanliness. It is safe, efficient, necessary,
nonpolitical, and utterly unremarkable.
Yet Jamie Benidickson’s examination of the
social and legal history of sewage in Canada,
the United States, and the United Kingdom
demonstrates that the uncontroversial
reputation of flushing is deceptive. The
Culture of Flushing is particularly relevant
in a time when community water quality
can no longer be taken for granted, as
it investigates and clarifies the murky
evolution of waste treatment. This book
is essential reading for specialists in
environmental history, environmental law,
public health, engineering, and public policy.
Those concerned with protecting water
quality and the environment will also find it
unique, comprehensive, and accessible.

Eau Canada
The Future of Canada’s Water
Edited by Karen Bakker
As the sustainability of our natural
resources is increasingly questioned,
Canadians remain stubbornly convinced of
the unassailability of our water. Mounting
evidence suggests, however, that Canadian
water is under threat. Eau Canada
assembles the country’s top water experts
to discuss our most pressing water issues.
Perspectives from a broad range of thinkers
– geographers, environmental lawyers,
former government officials, aquatic and
political scientists, and economists –
reflect the diversity of concerns in water
management. Arguing that weak governance
is at the heart of Canada’s water problems,
this timely book identifies our key failings,
explores debates over jurisdiction,
transboundary waters, exports, and
privatization, and maps out solutions for
protecting our most important resource.

Since the early days of the fur trade,
wildlife has been powerfully and inspiringly
emblematic of Canada. Yet the story of
saving Canada’s wildlife is largely unknown.
States of Nature is one of the first books
to trace the development of Canadian
wildlife conservation from its social,
political, and historical roots. While noting
the influence of celebrity conservationists
such as Jack Miner and Grey Owl, Tina Loo
emphasizes the impact of ordinary people
on the evolution of wildlife management
in Canada. She also explores the elements
leading up to the emergence of the modern
environmental movement, ranging from
the reliance on and practical knowledge of
wildlife demonstrated by rural people to the
more aloof and scientific approach of state-
sponsored environmentalism. Illustrated
with evocative images of the Canadian
wilderness of yesteryear and supported
by historical case studies, States of Nature
will appeal to historians, policy makers,
and wildlife managers, as well as to general
readers fascinated by the natural world and
its champions.

Development’s Displacements
Economies, Ecologies, and Cultures

Edited by Peter Vandergeest,
Pablo Idahosa, and Pablo S. Bose
As multilateral agencies, social movements,
and state authorities worldwide struggle
to cope with the effects of large-scale
development projects, the problem of
displacement remains unresolved. The crisis
of “development refugees” – those forced
to relocate not by wars or political conflicts
but rather because of development policies,
programs, and projects – is becoming
increasingly prevalent across the globe.
This volume seeks to address displacement
as a broad and multilayered phenomenon.
A series of illustrative case studies drawn
from around the globe provide causal
accounts of why and how displacement
occurs, what its effects on communities,
ecosystems, and economies look like, and
the normative or ethical positions held by
key actors involved.

The Culture of Hunting
in Canada
Edited by Jean Manore and Dale Miner
The Culture of Hunting covers elements of
the history of hunting from the pre-colonial
period until the present in all parts of
Canada, featuring essays by practitioners
and scholars of hunting and by pro- and
anti-hunting lobbyists. The result crosses
the boundaries between scholarship and
personal reflection, and between academia
and advocacy. The essays collected
here address important historical and
contemporary issues that include hunting
identities; conservation and its relationship
to hunting; tensions between hunters and
non-hunters and between Aboriginal and
non-Aboriginal hunting groups; hunting
ethics; debates over hunting practices and
regulations; animal rights; and gun control.
The discussion involves consideration of
the social, political, and economic context
as well as class and racial tensions between
sport hunters and subsistence hunters.
The Culture of Hunting in Canada makes an
unprecedented contribution to the study of
hunting in Canada and its role in our culture.
