Rites of Way
The Politics and Poetics of Public Space
Mark Kingwell and Patrick Turmel, editors

There are many ways to approach the subject of public space: the threats posed to it by sur-
veillance and visual pollution; the joys it offers of stimulation and excitement, of anonymity
and transformation; its importance to urban variety or democratic politics. But public space
remains an evanescent and multidimensional concept that too often escapes scrutiny.
The essays in Rites of Way: The Politics and Poetics of Public Space open up mul-
tiple dimensions of the concept from architectural, political, philosophical, and technological
points of view. There is some historical analysis here, but the contributors are more focused
on the future of public space under conditions of growing urbanization and democratic con-
fusion. The added interest offered by non-academic work—visual art, fiction, poetry, and
drama—is in part an admission that this is a topic too important to be left only to theorists.
It also makes an implicit argument for the crucial role that art, not just public art, plays in a
thriving public realm.
Throughout this work contributors are guided by the conviction, not pious but steely,
that healthy public space is one of the best, living parts of a just society. The paths of desire
we follow in public trace and speak our convictions and needs, our interests and foibles.
They are the vectors and walkways of the social, the public dimension of life lying at the

heart of all politics.

The One Best Way?

Breastfeeding History, Politics, and Policy in Canada
Tasnim Nathoo and Aleck Ostry

In recent years, breastfeeding has been prominently in the public eye in relation to debates
on issues ranging from parental leave policies, work–family balance, public decency, the
safety of our food supply, and public health concerns such as health care costs and the
obesity “epidemic.”
Breastfeeding has officially been considered “the one best way” for feeding infants
for the past 150 years of Canadian history. This book examines the history and evolution of
breastfeeding policies and practices in Canada from the end of the nineteenth century to
the turn of the twenty-first. The authors’ historical approach allows current debates to be
situated within a broader social, political, cultural, and economic context.
Breastfeeding shifted from a private matter to a public concern at the end of the
nineteenth century. Over the course of the next century, the “best” way to feed infants
was often scientifically or politically determined, and guidelines for mothers shifted from
one generation to the next. Drawing upon government reports, academic journals, archival
sources, and interviews with policy-makers and breastfeeding advocates, the authors trace
trends, patterns, ideologies, and policies of breastfeeding in Canada.

Tasnim Nathoo completed her graduate studies in health care and epidemiology and social
work at the University of British Columbia. She currently works in the areas of reproduc-
tive health, mental health and addictions, and social policy. Her research interests include
health theory, integrated medicine, and the relationship between individual experience and
broader social change.

Aleck Ostry is a professor at the University of Victoria. He is a Canada Research Chair and
holds a Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research Senior Scholar Award. He is an
epidemiologist and historian and conducts a broad research program on the social determi-
nants of health, with a focus on nutrition policy and food security.

Bearing Witness
Living with Ovarian Cancer
Kathryn Carter and Laurie Elit, editors

Storytelling is an important art form present in many cultures: it is a way of processing life
events, of searching for meaning, and of allowing the teller and the listener to wrestle with
the message. It is a form of teaching and learning.
Bearing Witness is a collection of stories from women who went through the initial
diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancer only to find that the cancer recurred and that cure
was no longer an option. These women represent a spectrum of ages, ethnic backgrounds,
marital circumstances, and professional experiences. From their stories, we learn how each
shapes the meaning of her life. Facing a life crisis can make one bitter and angry, but it can
also provide the key to a thankful and generous spirit within.
For the women in Bearing Witness, the stories are tangible legacies for family and
friends and a chance to share their choice of living with the “glass half full.” They inspire
the reader to reflect on life’s struggles and to find within themselves a sense of optimism,
perhaps when they least expect to.
The concluding critical essay places these stories in the context of contemporary
discourses of illness and healing.

Kathryn Carter is acting dean at Laurier Brantford where she has taught English and
contemporary studies. Her research on women’s diaries led to an edited collection,
The Small Details of Life: Twenty Diaries by Women in Canada: 1830–1996 (2002), and
recent articles address the 1830 letter journal of Frances Simpson (in Australian-Canadian
Studies), the 1930s diary of Myrtle Gamble Knister (in the Journal of Canadian Studies), and
diaries written by schoolgirls in Canada at the end of the nineteenth century (in Canadian
Children’s Literature). Another article on the 1830s journal letters of Mary Gapper O’Brien
is forthcoming.

Laurie Elit is an associate professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology,

McMaster University, and a gynecologic oncologist at the Juravinski Cancer Centre,
Hamilton. Her research focuses on health service work in cancer care delivery and treat-
ment decision making for women with gynecologic cancers.

National Plots
Historical Fiction and Changing Ideas of Canada
Andrea Cabajsky and Brett Joseph Grubisic, editors

Fiction that reconsiders, challenges, reshapes, and/or upholds national narratives of history
has long been an integral aspect of Canadian literature. Works by writers of historical fiction
(from early practitioners such as John Richardson to contemporary figures such as Alice
Munro and George Elliott Clarke) propose new views and understandings of Canadian his-
tory and individual relationships to it. Critical evaluation of these works sheds light on the
complexity of these depictions.
The contributors in National Plots: Historical Fiction and Changing Ideas of Canada
critically examine texts with subject matter ranging from George Vancouver’s west coast
explorations to the eradication of the Beothuk in Newfoundland. Reflecting diverse meth-
odologies and theoretical approaches, the essays seek to explicate depictions of “the his-
torical” in individual texts and to explore larger questions relating to historical fiction as a
genre with complex and divergent political motivations and goals. Although the topics of
the essays vary widely, as a whole the collection raises (and answers) questions about the
significance of the roles historical fiction has played within Canadian culture for nearly two
centuries.

Technonatures
Environments, Technologies, Spaces, and
Places in the Twenty-first Century
Damian F. White and Chris Wilbert, editors
Environmentalism and the environmental social sciences appear to be in a period of disori-
entation and perhaps transition. In this innovative collection, leading international thinkers
explore the notion that one explanation for the current malaise of the “politics of ecology” is
that we increasingly find ourselves negotiating “technonatural” space/times. International
contributors map the political ecologies of our technonatural present and indicate possible
paths for technonatural futures.
The term “technonatures” is in debt to a long line of environmental cultural theory from
Raymond Williams onwards, problematizing the idea that a politics of the environment can
be usefully grounded in terms of the rhetoric of defending the pure, the authentic, or an
idealized past solely in terms of the ecological or the natural. In using the term “techno-
natures” as an organizing myth and metaphor for thinking about the politics of nature in
contemporary times, this collection seeks to explore one increasingly pronounced dimen-
sion of the social natures discussion. Technonatures highlights a growing range of voices
considering the claim that we are not only inhabiting diverse social natures but that within
such natures our knowledge of our worlds is ever more technologically mediated, pro-
duced, enacted, and contested.
Damian F. White is an assistant professor of sociology in the Department of History, Phi-
losophy, and Social Science at the Rhode Island School of Design. He has held academic
posts previously at James Madison University and Goldsmith College University of London.
He has published articles on the historical relations between human societies and nature,
the green industrial revolution, the “production of nature” debate, the libertarian traditions
of the political left, and the public understanding of science. He is the author of Murray
Bookchin: A Critical Appraisal (2008) and, with Chris Wilbert, The Colin Ward Reader (forth-
coming, 2009).
Chris Wilbert is a senior lecturer in tourism and geography at Anglia Ruskin University, Eng-
land. He has published on animal geographies with Chris Philo (Animal Spaces, Beastly
Places, 2000) and with Jennifer Wolch and Jody Emel. More recently he has written on
the politics of avian flu, cultural and media aspects of tourism, and environmentalism. He is
currently on the editorial board of Society & Animals and Radical Philosophy.

Scandalous Bodies
Diasporic Literature in English Canada
Smaro Kamboureli

Scandalous Bodies is an impassioned scholarly study both of literature by diasporic writ-

ers and of the contexts within which it is produced. It explores topics ranging from the
Canadian government’s multiculturalism policy to media representations of so-called
minority groups, from the relationship between realist fiction and history to postmodern
constructions of ethnicity, from the multicultural theory of the philosopher Charles Taylor to
the cultural responsibilities of diasporic critics such as Kamboureli herself.
Smaro Kamboureli proposes no neat or comforting solutions to the problems she
addresses. Rather than adhere to a single method of reading or make her argument follow
a systematic approach, she lets the texts and the socio-cultural contexts she examines give
shape to her reading. In fact, methodological issues, and the need to revisit them, become a
leitmotif in the book. Theoretically rigorous and historically situated, this study also engages
with close reading—not the kind that views a text as a sovereign world, but one that opens
the text in order to reveal the method of its making. Her practice of what she calls nega-
tive pedagogy—a self-reflexive method of learning and unlearning, of decoding the means
through which knowledge is produced—allows her to avoid the pitfalls of constructing a
narrative of progress. Her critique of Canadian multiculturalism as a policy that advocates
what she calls “sedative politics” and of the epistemologies of ethnicity that have shaped,
for example, the first wave of ethnic anthologies in Canada are the backdrop against which
she examines the various discourses that inform the diasporic experience in Canada.
Scandalous Bodies was first published in 2000 and received the Gabrielle Roy Prize
for Canadian Criticism.

Smaro Kamboureli is a professor in the School of English and Theatre Studies at the University
of Guelph and Canada Research Chair (Tier 1) in Critical Studies in Canadian Literature. Her
publications include A Mazing Space: Writing Canadian Women Writing, co-edited with
Shirley Neuman (1986); On the Edge of Genre: The Contemporary Canadian Long Poem By the Same Author

Transnational Canadas
Anglo-Canadian Literature and Globalization
Kit Dobson

Transnational Canadas marks the first sustained inquiry into the relationship between glo-
balization and Canadian literature written in English. Tracking developments in the literature
and its study from the centennial period to the present, it shows how current work in trans-
national studies can provide new insights for researchers and students.
Arguing first that the dichotomy of Canadian nationalism and globalization is no lon-
ger valid in today’s economic climate, Transnational Canadas explores the legacy of leftist
nationalism in Canadian literature. It examines the interventions of multicultural writing in
the 1980s and 1990s, investigating the cultural politics of the period and how they increas-
ingly became part of Canada’s state structure. Under globalization, the book concludes, we
need to understand new forms of subjectivity and mobility as sites for cultural politics and
look beyond received notions of belonging and being.
An original contribution to the study of Canadian literature, Transnational Canadas
seeks to invigorate discussion by challenging students and researchers to understand the
national and the global simultaneously, to look at the politics of identity beyond the rubric of
multiculturalism, and to rethink the slippery notion of the political for the contemporary era.

The False Laws of Narrative

The Poetry of Fred Wah
Selected with an introduction by Louis Cabri

The False Laws of Narrative is a selection of Fred Wah’s poems covering the poet’s entire
poetic trajectory to date. A founding editor of Tish magazine, Wah was influenced by leading
progressive and innovative poets of the 1960s and was at the forefront of the exploration
of racial hybridity, multiculturalism, and transnational family roots in poetry. The selection
emphasizes his innovative poetic range.
Wah is renowned as one of Canada’s finest and most complex lyric poets and has
been lauded for the musicality of his verse. Louis Cabri’s introduction offers a paradigm for
thinking about how sound is actually structured in Wah’s improvisatory poetry and offers
fresh insights into Wah’s context and writing. In an afterword by the poet himself, Wah
presents a dialogue between editor and poet on the key themes of the selected poems and
reveals his abiding concerns as poet and thinker.

Fred Wah has been involved with a number of literary magazines over the years, such as
Open Letter and West Coast Line. Recent books are the biofiction Diamond Grill (1996),
Faking It: Poetics and Hybridity (2000), a collection of essays, and Sentenced to Light
(2008), a collection of poetic image/text projects. He splits his time between the Kootenays
in southeastern B.C. and Vancouver. For more volumes in the Laurier Poetry series,
see pages 9, 20, and 24.

Louis Cabri is author of The Mood Embosser, which was awarded the 2002 book of the
year by Small Press Traffic (San Francisco), and —that can’t (forthcoming). He edited, from
Philadelphia, the poets’ newsletter PhillyTalks and co-edited, from Ottawa/Calgary, hole
magazine and books. He teaches literary theory, Canadian and US modern and contempo-
rary poetry, and creative writing at the University of Windsor.

Fierce Departures
The Poetry of Dionne Brand
Selected with an introduction by Leslie C. Sanders

The selections in Fierce Departures, drawn from Dionne Brand’s work between 1990 and
2006, delineate with searing eloquence how history marks and dislocates peoples of the
African diaspora, how nations, concretely and conceptually, fail to create safe haven, and
how human desire persists nevertheless. Through a widening canvas, Brand unfolds the
(im)possibilities of belonging for those whom history has dispossessed. Yet she also shows
how Canada and in particular Toronto, remade by those who alight on it, is a place of con-
tingency. Known for her linguistic intensity and lyric brilliance, Brand consoles through the
beauty of her work and disturbs with its uncompromising demand for ethical witness.
In her introduction, editor Leslie C. Sanders traces the evolution of Brand’s poetic
concerns and changing vision. In particular, she observes Brand’s complex use of land-
scape and language to delineate the ethical and emotional issues around the desire for
place. She argues that Brand reformulates Northrop Frye’s question “Where is here?,”
disturbing and expanding the national imaginary.
As afterword, Brand has selected from her evocative collection of essays A Map to
the Door of No Return, the section “Ruttier for the Marooned in the Diaspora.” Read as an
ars poetica, the passage summons the presences of those whose lives are circumscribed
by the same histories the poet narrates as her own. For more volumes in the Laurier Poetry series,

From Logos to Christos

Essays on Christology in Honour of Joanne McWilliam
Ellen M. Leonard and Kate Merriman, editors

From Logos to Christos is a collection of essays in Christology written by friends and col-
leagues in memory of Joanne McWilliam. McWilliam was a pioneer woman in the aca-
demic study of theology, specializing in Patristic studies and internationally recognized for
her work on Augustine. For countless students she was a teacher, a mentor, an inspiration.
These fourteen essays are a fitting tribute to her memory.
Written by recognized North American scholars, the essays explore various aspects
of Christology, inviting the reader to probe the meaning and significance of Jesus Christ
for today. They address a broad range of issues, including the Christology of the Acts of
Thomas, Hooker on divinization, and Christ figures in contemporary Canadian culture.
Teachers of theology and religious studies, pastors, and informed general readers
will find the essays stimulating and instructive. They present the readers with considered,
mature, and current scholarship. These are the questions that engaged Joanne McWilliam
throughout her life, and she was happy to know that the critical dialogue would continue
in this volume as friends and colleagues wrestled with Christological questions. For her,
“In Jesus we come to know the compassion, the power, the wisdom, the love, and the
faithfulness of God.”

Ellen M. Leonard is a Sister of St. Joseph of Toronto. She is professor emerita at the University
of St. Michael’s College, Faculty of Theology, where she has taught since 1977. Her areas
of research include Roman Catholic Modernism, Christology, ecclesiology, and feminist
theology. Her publications include a number of chapters in collected works as well as three
books, the latest being Creative Tension: The Spiritual Legacy of Friedrich von Hugel (1997).
She was the 2004 recipient of the Catholic Theological Society of America’s Ann O’Hara
Graff award for her ministries with and on behalf of women and the 2005 YWCA Woman
of Distinction award for her contribution to women and education.

Kate Merriman is an Anglican priest who works in the Diocese of Toronto. She has engaged
in a wide range of ministries—hostel worker at the Fred Victor Centre, parish priest in the
Yukon, chaplain at Trinity College, Field Education Director at Huron College, and parish
priest in the city of Toronto. In 2007 she was made a Canon of the Diocese of Toronto in rec-
ognition of her work in the areas of sexual misconduct and affordable housing. In 2008 she
received the Davenport Community Builders Award for her work in affordable housing.

 Religious Studies / Literary Criticism

Veneration and Revolt

Hermann Hesse and Swabian Pietism
Barry Stephenson

One of the most widely read German authors in the world, Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946. After his death, his novels enjoyed a revival
of popularity, becoming a staple of popular religion and spirituality in Europe and North
America.
Veneration and Revolt: Hermann Hesse and Swabian Pietism is the first compre-
hensive study of the impact of German Pietism (the religion of Hesse’s family and native
Swabia) on Hesse’s life and literature. Hesse’s literature bears witness to a lifelong con-
versation with his religious heritage despite that in adolescence he rejected his family’s
expectation that he become a theologian, cleric, and missionary.
Hesse’s Pietist upbringing and broader Swabian heritage contributed to his moral
and political views, his pacifism and internationalism, the confessional and autobiographi-
cal style of his literature, his romantic mysticism, his suspicion of bourgeois culture, his
ecumenical outlook, and, in an era scarred by two world wars, his hopes for the future.
Veneration and Revolt offers a unique perspective on the life and works of one of the twen-
tieth century’s most influential writers.

“Taking his title from Hesse, Barry Stephenson has given us the first thorough appreciation
of the Nobel Prize–winner within the religious culture from which he emerged. Hesse’s debt
to pietism, against which he rebelled yet which he always venerated as his spiritual heritage,
was long a commonplace. But no previous scholar approached the problematic topic with
the requisite background in religious studies that informs this book. Beginning with the his-
tory of pietism and its role in Swabia and German Romanticism, it moves through Hesse’s
life and oeuvre, exposing significant new dimensions from his early ‘religion of art’ to The
Glass Bead Game. This major and highly readable contribution forces us to contemplate
Hesse’s novels in a wholly original and edifying light.”
– Theodore Ziolkowski (emeritus), Princeton University, author of Modes of Faith (2007),
and Minos and the Moderns (2008)

Barry Stephenson teaches in the Department of Religion and Culture at Wilfrid Laurier
University, Waterloo, ON, and conducts research in religion, and literature and ritual stud-
ies. He is presently completing a book and DVD on Luther-themed festivity and religious
tourism in Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Germany.

Music / Biography

Centre and Periphery, Roots and Exile

Interpreting the Music of Istvan Anhalt and György Kurtág
Friedemann Sallis, Robin Elliott, and Kenneth DeLong, editors

This book examines the impact place and displacement can have on the composition and
interpretation of Western art music, using as its primary objects of study the work of Istvan
Anhalt (1919–) and György Kurtág (1926–). Although both composers are of Hungarian ori-
gin, their careers followed radically different paths. Kurtág remained in Budapest for most
of his career, whereas Anhalt left in 1946 and immigrated to Canada, where he became one
of the country’s leading composers.
In the first section, “Place and Displacement,” the contributors examine what hap-
pens when composers and their music migrate in the culturally complex world of the late
twentieth century. The past one hundred years produced record numbers of refugees, and
this fact is now beginning to resonate in the study of music. However, as Anhalt himself
forcefully asserts, not all composers who emigrate should be understood as exiles. The
book explores some of the problems and questions surrounding this issue.
Essays in the second section, “Cultural Perspectives and Interpretation,” look at
how performing acts of interpretation on music implies bringing the time, place, and iden-
tity of the musician, the analyst, and the teacher to bear on the object of study. Like Kodály,
Kurtág considers his work to be “naturally” embedded in Hungarian culture (both recent
and remote). But he is also a quintessentially European artist. Much of his production—he
is one of the twentieth century’s most prolific composers of vocal music—involves the set-
ting of Hungarian texts, but in the late 1970s his cultural horizons expanded to include texts

Backpacks Full of Hope

The UN Mission in Haiti
Eduardo Aldunate
Translated by Alma Flores

Backpacks Full of Hope: The UN Mission in Haiti describes the experience of a Chilean
general as Deputy Force Commander of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti
(MINUSTAH) during the particularly turbulent year September 2005 to September 2006.
It details the realities of commanding more than 7,000 men from eleven countries while
working to fulfill the mandate of the United Nations in Haiti — to ensure a secure and stable
environment, to support the transitional government in a democratic political process, and
to promote and protect the human rights of the Haitian people.
Despite the enormous challenges of a complex scenario that included local violence
and extreme poverty, the UN command succeeded in its mission, stabilizing the local situ-
ation and paving the way for Haiti to hold a presidential election.
Originally published as Mision en Haiti, con la mochila cargada de esperanzas, this
work provides a new audience with insight on the peace operation and sheds light on the
long-term endeavour of civilians, military, and local and international agencies to support
Haiti’s path to prosperity.

Major General Eduardo Aldunate has served as a Chilean Army officer since 1973. He has
been an instructor and commander in mountain infantry units and special forces units For more volumes in the Studies in International
Governance series, see pages 14, 15, 22, and 28.
and was the Deputy Force Commander of MINUSTAH between September 2005 and
September 2006. He is currently Commander of Military Schools for the Chilean Army. He
has written books and academic articles on military leadership and strategic and civilian–
military relations for civilian and military publications.

Implementing the
World Intellectual
Property
Organization’s
Development Agenda
Jeremy de Beer, editor
The newly adopted World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Development Agenda
presents a real opportunity to revolutionize the international governance of intellectual prop-
erty law and policy. The litmus test for its success, however, will be if and how the agenda
is implemented in practice. This edited collection brings together a series of incisive essays
written by leading thinkers from emerging economies, Canada, and elsewhere to develop
concrete strategies for implementing the agenda.
The essays cover a range of fundamental issues surrounding the agenda and examine
its recommendations from multidisciplinary and multi-regional perspectives. Several essays
explore the role of WIPO and its member states in steering the direction of future reform
as well as potential approaches to achieve this goal. Other contributions examine specific
recommendations on WIPO’s activities within the broader context of development.
This volume will be a useful source of reference for informed but non-expert read-
ers, including government officials and delegates at international and “capital” levels, lead-
ers of the international business community, individuals in inter- and non-governmental
organizations, and scholars in the fields of law and international governance.
Jeremy de Beer is an associate professor of law at the University of Ottawa. His research
and recent publications relate mainly to the intersection of intellectual property, technology,
and international development.

Redesigning the World Trade Organization
for the Twenty-first Century
Debra P. Steger, editor
Two high-level commissions—the Sutherland report in 2004, and the Warwick Commission
report in 2007—addressed the future of the World Trade Organization and made proposals
for incremental reform. This book goes further; it explains why institutional reform of the
WTO is needed at this critical juncture in world history and provides innovative, practical pro-
posals for modernizing the WTO to enable it to respond to the challenges of the twenty-first
century. Contributors focus on five critical areas: transparency, decision- and rule-making pro-
cedures, internal management structures, participation by non-governmental organizations
and civil society, and relationships with regional trade agreements.
Debra Steger is a professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Ottawa, where she
teaches international trade, international dispute settlement, and international investment
law. She is also the founder and director of the EDGE Network on the emerging, dynamic,
global economies—a multidisciplinary research network focused on institutional reform
of the World Trade Organization. She served recently as chair of a WTO panel and from
1995 to 2001 was the first director of the Appellate Body Secretariat of the World Trade
Organization in Geneva. She is the author of Peace through Trade: Building the World Trade
Organization (2004) and co-editor of Law in the Service of Human Dignity: Essays in Honour

Florence Nightingale
Florence Nightingale
The Nightingale School
Lynn McDonald, editor
The Nightingale School relates Nightingale’s experience of nursing
in Paris, London, and Kaiserswerth and how it influenced her own
approach to the teaching of nursing. It describes the formation, in 1860,
of the Nightingale School at St. Thomas’ Hospital, the world’s first non-
sectarian nursing school, and its stormy ups and downs for the rest of
Nightingale’s working life, effectively to 1900. It gives an intimate look
at Nightingale as a nursing leader, as she had to deal with sometimes
difficult (male) doctors and cost-cutting hospital administrators.
The volume relates the near breakdown of the school in the early
1870s and the measures taken to re-establish it and improve instruction.
The volume includes the extensive correspondence on Nightingale’s
own relations with the matron, senior nurses, and pupils.
The second edition of Nightingale’s most famous book, Notes
on Nursing: What It Is and What It Is Not, is presented, with compari-
sons with the first. Her later articles on nursing, in Quain’s Dictionary
of Medicine (1883 to 1894), are also reported and serve to show the
evolution of nursing practice from its modest start. Her public letters to
nurses are reprinted.
The volume also covers the controversy over the state registra-
tion of voters. Also included is an appendix with biographical sketches
of her major colleagues.

Extending Nursing
Lynn McDonald, editor
Extending Nursing reports Nightingale’s work to take trained nursing
from its base at St. Thomas’ Hospital in London to other hospitals in
London, elsewhere in England, and into Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.
It goes on to European countries (initially Sweden and Germany, later
France and Italy), to Australia, the United States, Canada, and other
countries of the then British Empire. Also featured is material on how
Nightingale methods were taken up in Japan and China.
This volume relates the difficulty of bringing trained nursing into
the abysmal workhouse infirmaries, and it includes a section on the
development of “district nursing,” or nursing in the homes of the poor,
as well as material on “health missioners,” who taught better health
practices at the homes of the rural poor. An appendix gives biographical
sketches of major nursing leaders.
Extending Nursing shows Nightingale promoting the core princi-
ples of nursing as a profession, independent of medicine, and providing
well-paid career jobs for women. Here the case had to be made politi-
cally to a range of elected officials, hospital administrators, and health
care reformers. At the same time, Nightingale had to attend to the health
and safety of nurses (as well as patients), for hospitals continued to be
dangerous places everywhere.
Lynn McDonald, director of the Collected Works of Florence Nightingale,
is university professor emerita at the University of Guelph. She is a
former member of parliament, former president of the National Action
Committee on the Status of Women, and a long-time activist on wom-
en’s issues. She has an honorary doctorate from York University.

The Dominion of Youth

Adolescence and the Making of Modern Canada, 1920 to 1950
Cynthia Comacchio

Winner of the Canadian History of Education Association 2006–2008

Founders’ Prize for English-language book/anthology

Honourable Mention in the 2007 Canadian Historical Association

Sir John A. Macdonald Prize

“This study is remarkable on several fronts. No study to date has analyzed concomitantly
the evolving social perceptions of youth, and the changing attitudes and activities of teen-
agers alongside an analysis of wider social developments in such depth and over such an
extended period of time…. Not unrelated … is her impressive use of extensive and varied
sources…. [Comacchio’s] study lays new ‘historiographical ground work’ that will assuredly
become a mandatory point of departure for future scholars.”
– Nicole Neatby, Simon Fraser University, The Canadian Historical Review

“This book about the creation and social construction of adolescence in Canada will appeal
to historians who are increasingly turning their attention to the second half of the 20th cen-
tury, where youth experiences and youth culture surface as major themes. As Comacchio
clearly demonstrates, the 1950s and 1960s did not mark the emergence of a youth culture
in Canada because a separate youth culture predated that period by as much as 30 years.
The Dominion of Youth clearly and convincingly establishes the fact and therefore it should
become a standard reference on 20th-century youth and popular culture.”
– Linda M. Ambrose, Laurentian University, Labour/Le Travail

“The Dominion of Youth is an outstanding achievement that will be useful to researchers

across many fields and in classes relating to transnational histories of youth, education,
nationalism, and modern Canada. Comacchio’s work breaks new ground for North Amer-
ican childhood studies. She brings important new observations into the growing global
conversation about the history of adolescence and the challenges of finding the voices,
practices, and cultural realities of adolescence in the past.”

Babies for the Nation
The Medicalization of
Motherhood in Quebec, 1910–1970
Denyse Baillargeon
Translated by W. Donald Wilson
Winner of the 2005 Clio Award for Quebec
(Canadian Historical Foundation), le Prix Lionel-
Groulx Fondation—Yves Saint-Germain (l’Institut
d’histoire de l’Amérique française), and the Jean-
Charles-Falardeau Prize (Canadian Federation for
the Social Sciences and Humanities) in the origi-
nal French edition.
The province of Quebec in the early twen-
tieth century recorded infant mortality rates, par-
ticularly among French-speaking Catholics, that
were among the highest in the Western world.
This “bleeding of the nation” gave birth to a vast
movement for child welfare that paved the way
for a medicalization of childbearing. Basing her
analysis on extensive documentary research
and more than fifty interviews with mothers,
Denyse Baillargeon explores how doctors were
able to convince women to consult them, and
why mothers chose to follow their advice. Analy-
sis considers the medical discourse of the time,
the development of free services made available
to mothers between 1910 and 1970, and how
mothers used these services.
Denyse Baillargeon is the author of Making Do:
Women, Family and Home in Montreal during the
Great Depression (WLU Press, 1999). A former
chair of the Department of French Studies at
the University of Waterloo, W. Donald Wilson is
the translator, with Paul G. Socken, of Aaron: A
Novel, by Yves Thériault (WLU Press, 2007).

He Was Some Kind of a Man Blues and Bliss
Masculinities in the B Western
Roderick McGillis
Explores the construction and representation
of masculinity in low-budget western mov-
ies made from the 1930s to the early 1950s.
These films contained some of the mid-twen-
tieth-century’s most familiar names, especially
for youngsters: cowboys such as Roy Rogers,
Hopalong Cassidy, and Red Ryder. The first
serious study of a body of films that was central
to the youth of two generations, He Was Some
Kind of a Man combines the author’s childhood
fascination with this genre with an interdisci-
plinary scholarly exploration of the films’ influ-
ence on modern views of masculinity.
This engagingly written book will appeal
to the general reader interested in film, west-
erns, and contemporary culture as well as to
scholars in film studies, gender studies, chil-
dren’s literature, and auto/biography.
Roderick McGillis is a professor of English at the
University of Calgary. He is the author of the
award-winning The Nimble Reader (1996), A
Little Princess: Gender and Empire (1996), and
Les Pieds Devant (2007), and the editor of George
MacDonald: Literary Heritage and Heirs (2007).

The Poetry of George Elliott Clarke
Selected with an introduction by
Jon Paul Fiorentino
Blues singer, preacher, cultural critic, exile,
Africadian, high modernist, spoken word art-
ist, Canadian poet—these are but some of the
voices of George Elliott Clarke. In a selection
of Clarke’s best work, Blues and Bliss offers
readers an impressive cross-section of those
voices. Jon Paul Fiorentino’s introduction
focuses on this polyphony, his influences,
and his “voice throwing,” and shows how the
intersections here produce a “troubling” of
language.
In the afterword, Clarke writes with pat-
ented gusto about how his experiences have
contributed to multiple sounds and forms in
his work. Disclaiming any grandiose notions
of theory, he presents himself as primarily a
songwriter.
George Elliott Clarke is the inaugural E.J.
Pratt Professor of Canadian Literature at the
University of Toronto and is also a revered
poet, librettist, and novelist. For his collection
Execution Poems, he received the Governor
General’s Award for Poetry in 2001.
Jon Paul Fiorentino is a writer and editor whose
most recent book of poetry is The Theory of
the Loser Class (2006). He teaches writing at
Concordia University and is the managing edi-
tor of Matrix magazine.

Mobility of Light
The Poetry of Nicole Brossard
Selected with an introduction by
Louise H. Forsyth
The poems in Mobility of Light were chosen to
convey the intense energy—physical, creative,
spiritual, erotic, imaginative, playful, ethical,
and political—that has carried Brossard to a
uniquely significant vision of the human spirit.
Poems are presented in French and
English on facing pages, underscoring the
density of meaning in each word and line and
highlighting the unusual rhythms in Brossard’s
originals and the extraordinary sonorities with
which they beat. In her afterword, Brossard
talks about travelling back in time to discover
how our most vivid sensations, emotions, and
thoughts are nourished and transformed by our
enigmatic relation to language.
The national and international influence of
Nicole Brossard’s thirty collections of poetry,
ten novels, four book-length essays, and

Translations from the German
Official History of the Great War
Mark Osborne Humphries and
John Maker, editors
A multi-volume series of the first English-lan-
guage translation of the German official his-
tory of the First World War. Originally produced
between 1925 and 1944 using classified archi-
val records that were destroyed in the aftermath
of the Second World War, Der Weltkrieg is the
untold story of Germany’s experience on the
Western front, in the words of its official histori-
ans. This volume focuses on 1915, the first year
of trench warfare, poison gas at Ypres, and con-
flict in the German High Command. The year
1915 also set the stage for the bloodbath at Ver-
dun and sealed the fate of the German Supreme
Commander, Erich von Falkenhayn. This is the
official version of that story.
Mark Osborne Humphries is a historian at Mount
Royal College in Calgary, Alberta, where he
teaches Canadian military history. He has
published extensively on the First World War
in Canadian and international journals and
magazines and has appeared in documenta-
ries for History Television and the BBC series

From Civil Strife
to Peace Building
Examining Private Sector
Involvement in West African
Reconstruction
Hany Besada, editor
This book examines peace-building efforts in the frag-
ile West African states of Sierra Leone, Liberia, and
Côte d’Ivoire, with a focus on the role of the private
sector in leading the reconstruction initiatives. Given
that aid and debt relief, the traditional remedies for
dependency and underdevelopment, have not been
effective, the private sector is increasingly viewed as
a major player in the revival of regional economies.
Private sector support, however, requires govern-
ment intervention to improve investment climates,
curb corruption, strengthen the security sector, and
reduce the cost of doing business.
The contributors discuss ways in which
West African governments can encourage greater
involvement of business in humanitarian support
with incentives that demonstrate alignment with
business objectives and profit margins, making
humanitarian support simple and, more impor-
tantly, profitable and sustainable for both local and
foreign investors.
Hany Besada is a senior researcher and program
manager working on weak and fragile states
at the Centre for International Governance
Innovation (CIGI) in Waterloo, Canada. His
research interests include African economic
and political development, Middle East studies,
international diplomacy, and conflict resolution.

Emerging Powers
in Global Governance
Lessons from the
Heiligendamm Process
Andrew F. Cooper and
Agata Antkiewicz, editors
“Emerging Powers in Global Governance is a rare
example of how to marry theory and case-study to
advance the understanding of and the debate on
global governance. While it recognizes the central-
ity of emerging powers, it pushes for their inclu-
sion in discussions on the new global architecture.
The Heiligendamm Process is central to the book
as the first significant step undertaken by the G8
in this area. Readers are presented with the agen-
das of the worlds most industrialized countries
and the aspirations of emerging countries, and are
led to reflect on the way forward.”
