POLAROIDS Attila Richard Lukacs and Michael
THE IMAGINARY INDIAN The Image of the Indian in Canadian Culture
Attila Richard Lukacs is best known for his epic paintings that depict masculine, homoerotic imagery, featuring figures such as gay skinheads and military cadets. This is the first book to document the work of this important artist, from an unusual perspective—a collection of some 1,200 full-color Polaroid images (12 per page) taken by Lukacs over the past 20 years as core referents for his paintings, assembled and collaged by Vancouver artist and curator Michael Morris. The large-format (13 x 16.5") book features essays by award-winning author Michael Turner (Hard Core Logo, The Pornographer’s Poem); writer Stan Persky; Scott Watson, director of the Morris & Helen Belkin Gallery in Vancouver; and Vince Aletti, the American curator, critic, and journalist. visual arts / gay men’s isbn 978-155152-295-1 $55.00
Daniel Francis The Imaginary Indian has been, and continues to be—as Daniel Francis reveals in this book—just about anything the non-Native culture has wanted it to be; and the contradictory stories non-Natives tell about Imaginary Indians are really stories about themselves and the uncertainties that make up their cultural heritage. This is not a book about Native people; it is the story of the images projected upon Native people—and the desperate uses to which they are put. spring 2012 release Daniel Francis’s study is a worthy addition to the growing corpus of provocative literature on an important subject. —Canadian Geographic canadian studies / first nations studies isbn 978-155152-425-2 $23.95

Gay porn for the thinking man: these 200-plus drawings are from the private collection of Ambrose DuBek, a film and television designer from the 1940s to the 1980s; the images are remarkably frank, explicit, sometimes funny, sometimes outrageous depictions of men, created by artists both famous and unknown, and produced during a time when even drawings of nude men were illegal, and thus rare. Waugh’s narrative is a remarkable history lesson that illuminates a once-furtive underground culture. lambda literary award finalist second printing [Waugh’s] brilliant text … justifies, honors and illuminates these precious artifacts of our history. —Leslie-Lohman Gay Art Foundation gay studies / visual arts isbn 978-1-55152-165-7 $26.95

Waugh is also the author of Gay Art. lambda literary award finalist second printing Lovingly and entertainingly gathered together … the pictures are by turns funny, hot, strikingly composed, and historically fascinating. —Frontiers
