The Cheese Cure
How Comté and Camembert Fed My Soul
Michael Finnerty
In dire need of change, journalist Michael Finnerty found himself ushered into the elusive world of cheesemongering and from there, forever transformed .
A quest for passion and community meets deep knowledge and learning in Michael Finnerty’s The Cheese Cure
A renowned journalist and radio presenter, Finnerty found something deeply lacking in the flavour of his life. What followed was a life-changing sabbatical in the historical halls of Borough Market filled with cheese-borne wisdom, eccentric characters, and a tale as gripping as it is heartfelt.
Convinced that salvation lay in the rich world of cheese, Finnerty reconsiders his successful career with the CBC after training as an apprentice cheesemonger in London. Immediately immersed into a completely unexpected universe, his love for cheese went even further than his unimaginably growing knowledge. From learning each cheese’s history, complexities, and preferences – Castillon Frais must sit in its box underneath some waxed paper, while Comté often needs a quick saline bath before bed – and believing that cheeses are infused with a living spirit, to injuries, allergies, and physical exhaustion, he experienced it all. And when a devastating attack sent people fleeing Borough Market, Finnerty realized that in cheese he had found something even more important – his community.
A thriving mosaic of eclectic stories, passion, knowhow, and serendipity, The Cheese Cure depicts a life lived to the fullest.

The Handover
A Nurse’s Last Shift
Tilda Shalof with Lisa Mochrie
The Handover chronicles the mentorship between a seasoned nurse on the verge of retirement and a young, idealistic newcomer just beginning her career As Tilda Shalof reflects on her long and storied career, she offers Lisa Mochrie both professional guidance on becoming a nurse and personal wisdom on becoming an adult
In The Handover, nurse Tilda Shalof shares her knowledge and vast experience with student nurse, Lisa Mochrie. Their relationship unfolds through conversations, texts, emails, and real-time meetings, that span the COVID-19 pandemic to the present day.
As Shalof reflects on what has changed in the profession, she also seeks to identify the universal practices, values, and nursing ethos , that must be preserved. She and Mochrie discuss clinical challenges and personal struggles: from the rigours of nursing school and shift work to the stresses of “adulting,” such as dating, friendships, identity, self-care, and the search for balance.
This book offers practical advice and novel perspectives on long-standing issues, such as the meaning of the term nursing shortage and how to combat the pervasive problem of burnout. It explores compassion fatigue, emotional intelligence, boundary-setting, bias and privilege awareness, and the aspiration to provide personcentered care.
The Handover is a candid, often humorous, and deeply intimate look into the world of nursing, which is too often overlooked by the media or regarded through overly sentimental stereotypes. Accessible to all readers and invaluable to students and educators, this book will stimulate critical conversations about what it means to care for others and oneself and how to repair our precious, but precarious, health care system.

Praise for The Handover:
“Shalof is an authentic storyteller who is passionate about nursing and her support for those coming behind her . She teaches us the power of mentorship through her description of her relationships with three nurses as both mentor and mentees grow and evolve over a six-year period Every nurse, but especially students and new graduates, needs a nurse Tilda in their corner ”
—Gail Donner and Mary Wheeler , Partners, donnerwheeler, Career Consultants
—Heather
Mallick , Staff Columnist, Toronto Star
“The Handover is a gift of wisdom, honesty, compassion, and a career’s worth of plainspoken truth about nursing With humor and grit, Tilda Shalof provides the ABCs that will inspire new nurses, student nurses, and anyone who has ever depended on a nurse or will someday, which means all of us ”
—Robert Maunder , author of Damaged: Childhood Trauma, Adult Illness, and the Need for a Health Care Revolution
“Shalof’s memoir is a fascinating, quirky, and highly readable story of nursing in all its complexity In dialogue with one who is just entering the profession and is on a path to being one of its bright lights wherever she lands, this seasoned nurse expert reveals a deeply held conviction about the fundamental good that nurses represent in this world and offers readers an understanding of why nursing’s service to society so profoundly matters ”
—Sally Thorne, Professor Emeritus, School of Nursing, University of British Columbia
“As Tilda Shalof closes a major life chapter and Lisa Mochrie enters one, I am reminded of Sister Elizabeth Davis’s observation that in a Newfoundland fishing dory, one sits backwards, facing the retreating, safe shore to courageously row forward into the unknown . Tilda and Lisa invite us into that delicate back-and-forth story like dance partners taking turns leading and following, all while weaving a masterfully moving tale about the world of nursing and real care . Another brilliant work to add to the Shalof canon so beautifully filled with firsts and lasts, beginnings, endings, and messy middles . Don’t miss this one!”
—Michael J. Villeneuve , Retired Chief Executive Officer, Canadian Nurses Association, and author of Public Policy and Canadian Nursing: Lessons from the Field “The Handover is a must-read, not just for new nurses, but for doctors and, most of all, patients We need a better understanding of nursing, the nonstop engine that drives all medical care ”
Acquired Tastes
The Lives and Recipes of Eight Culinary Ambassadors
James Chatto, W .L . Martin, and Joseph Sproule
Ranging across centuries and continents, this book explores the lives of eight remarkable people who introduced beloved dishes and drinks from one culture to another, with recipes included
Spanning centuries and continents, Acquired Tastes explores the extraordinary journeys of specific recipes as they moved from one culture to another—carried and transmitted by eight remarkable individuals. Their stories unfold against the social and culinary backdrop of their time, revealing the unique—and often serendipitous— journeys these dishes and drinks have taken.
Drawing on decades of immersion in food culture and historical research, James Chatto, W.L. Martin, and Joseph Sproule share the intimate biographies of their subjects and the evolution of their recipes. The wide-ranging collection includes Queen Bona Sforza’s introduction of Renaissance Italian lasagne into Poland, Fujianese merchant Chen Zhenlong’s smuggling of the sweet potato from Manila to China, the international ovation for concert pianist Jan Smeterlin’s flourless chocolate cake, and U.S. Navy doctor Lucius W. Johnson’s role in popularizing the Cuban Daiquiri, among others. In telling these lively stories and including all the recipes, the authors uncover motivations for culinary exchange at the personal level, ranging from exhibitionism to famine relief, and from anti-colonial propaganda to the simple and generous impulse to share something delicious.

I Will Not Abandon You
Queer Women in Nazi Germany
Samuel Clowes Huneke
A dynamic, new history of queer life under fascism from a rising star in German studies . Award-winning historian Samuel Clowes Huneke offers a compelling alternative to today’s fractured identity politics in this groundbreaking study
I Will Not Abandon You brings to life the unrelenting defiance of queer women in fascist Germany.
In his latest book, award-winning historian Samuel Clowes Huneke shows how love, queer resistance, and collective action survived in the harrowing circumstances of Nazi rule. Drawing on a decade of archival research, Huneke takes readers into a hidden world, from the wartime balls that lesbian activists continued to organize to the concentration camps where women accused of loving women were imprisoned. Following a diverse cast of characters, Huneke reveals both the oppression that queer women faced and how they resisted fascism in solidarity with one another. Arguing that this solidarity – which transcended race, class, and gender – offers a compelling alternative to today’s fractured identity politics, I Will Not Abandon You is a vital, new history of queer life under fascism and a call to rethink the foundations of progressive politics today.

Humans of AI
Understanding the People Behind the Machines
Joseph Wilson
Humans of AI pulls back the curtain on the hidden labor, practices, and philosophies that shape artificial intelligence, revealing the deeply human forces behind this seemingly autonomous technology . Through immersive fieldwork and storytelling, anthropologist Joseph Wilson introduces readers to the workers, thinkers, and creators who make AI possible
Not a day goes by without breathless commentary on the increasing power of artificial intelligence (AI). Hype flows from the sages of Silicon Valley. But who is behind the evolution of this innovative technology, and how does it really work? In Humans of AI, anthropologist Joseph Wilson details his efforts to understand the customs and cultures of AI development.
Wilson introduces readers to the hidden world of AI— behind the doors of chip design labs, coding bootcamps, and organizations teaching AI to speak dozens of languages. He meets philosophers envisioning a future without disease or death, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist who warns of AI’s existential risks, and ghost workers whose invisible labor powers the world’s biggest tech platforms. He also speaks with writers, artists, and developers wrestling with the promise and peril of AI to find out what they really think of ChatGPT. Wilson’s empathetic and thoughtful investigation provides readers a close-up view on how AI is actually made.
Humans of AI is indispensable in reminding people that the work of AI is not miraculous or magical, but fundamentally human.

Read an Excerpt from Humans of AI:
We think we know what artificial intelligence is: Data from Star Trek, Skynet from Terminator, Hal from 2001: A Space Odyssey But outside the confines of popular culture, things get murky What about Google’s ability to sift through millions of web pages to present you with relevant information in a few tenths of a second? Or Shazam’s ability to identify a song from just a few seconds of audio? These are remarkable technologies, but generally people don’t classify them as AI It’s only when computers act less like computers and more like humans that we suddenly label them intelligent
This book argues that, even though AI has a reputation for being complicated, it’s not magic . There are people there, just behind the veneer of marketing hype, working hard to make it function . These people have their own beliefs, stories, and rich inner lives . Some have fierce opinions about AI and what it is capable of and some couldn’t care less . Some love their jobs and some hate them . Either way, the living, breathing humans who make AI work are purposefully erased from the narrative to make it seem like AI is working on its own, a move that boosts share prices and sells products . This results in, to use Jeff Bezos’ memorable phrase, “artificial artificial intelligence,” an illusion that fuels the belief that AI works autonomously and is thus capable of much more than it really is It also erases centuries of philosophy, history, and cultural beliefs, making it seem like ChatGPT just appeared one day in a void, discovered in the wild like a new species of insect
If we truly want to understand the phenomenon that is AI, we need to go beyond our computer screens In these pages you’ll meet people who are part of a complex network of labor, money, science, and culture that make up today’s AI scene You will hear from machine learning engineers who work for the largest corporations that have ever existed and from hackers working to build AI models beyond the control of big tech . You will meet linguists puzzling out the structure of language, cognitive scientists who think their AI models have come alive, and hardware engineers working to cram billions of transistors on a silicon chip the size of a soda cracker . Hanging out, working with, and talking to these people allows us to make sense of this new wave of artificial intelligence .
Becoming Ecological
Navigating Language and Meaning for Our Planet’s Future
Derek Gladwin and Kedrick James
Becoming Ecological reveals how transforming our language and everyday conversations can reshape our relationship with the planet, inspiring deeper ecological awareness and meaningful action both in our daily lives and collective future .
Our lives are profoundly connected to the planet’s unfolding ecological crisis, and the language we use— our words, stories, conversations, and beliefs—determines our ability to respond.
Becoming Ecological offers a fresh and empowering perspective on the natural world by insisting that our relationship with language can transform issues of sustainability and environmental catastrophe. The book explores how language, meaning, and communication can help us in the ongoing process of “becoming ecological” in our daily lives, encouraging us to listen, relate, and act with greater awareness. Language and literacy experts, Derek Gladwin and Kedrick James subvert the norms of focusing on data and policy in conversations surrounding climate change, and instead centre communication and dialogue as the catalyst for ecological transformation. A powerful and unprecedented reframing – they argue that language has the profound ability to renew our personal and social awareness and steer the course of our future as a society.
Drawing from various views on relationships, values, and responsibility, as well as topics like AI, food, economics, improvisation, extinction, and even the nature of reality, Becoming Ecological is a hopeful invitation to engage with the world differently. This book inspires readers to consider other perspectives, participate more playfully, and spark lasting ecological change.

Read an Excerpt from Becoming Ecological:
This isn’t only a book about educating, nor is it limited to our influences It’s not even about any one thing, really, but about the many things that intersect with ecological possibilities all mediated through language and meaning Put somewhat poetically: it’s an experiential tour of sensations, perspectives, and adaptations – an exploration of possibilities and matterings, or the ways that our relationships with matter, or the material world, matters .
For many it’s a terrifying thought that all the systems that we take for granted are likely to collapse in our lifetimes, and that it’s not one system at a time, but rather a cascade, because each system relies on other systems . This thinking haunts people of all ages . It’s humbling that with so much capacity for thought and feeling, humans have carelessly brought the planet to a tipping point for all other species . Humans can’t seem to stop ourselves from tipping over . We seem to have lost the capacity to act across time, to live for a planetary future .
Perhaps there are still things we can do collectively to prevent systemic collapse, something which politics, science, and technology can’t solve for us, something rooted in how we do and don’t communicate with, and about, the environment
Just to be clear, we arrive at this point with degrees of cautious optimism We believe that, with several billion people alive on the planet, if every one of us could be more conscious about our connection to the ecologies that surround us, every day, toward sustaining life on this planet, it would very quickly start to add up
And, to point to an aim of this book, if every one of us recognized that we are always becoming ecological (but perhaps don’t fully realize it yet), then our systems of governance and industry would be forced to change apace . As the planet now sits at the crossroads of several possible futures, this is an opportunity to reflect on the power of our language and action in shaping the future of this shared home .
Democracy’s Second Act
Why Politics Needs the Public
Peter MacLeod and Richard Johnson
Democracy’s Second Act explores why frustration and polarization are on the rise—and how reclaiming the power of the public can lead to a more hopeful political future
Democracy isn’t broken—it’s stuck. Around the world, people are growing angry and polarized—not because they’ve stopped caring, but because democracy has stopped evolving. The result isn’t apathy—it is a rising sense of political futility.
In Democracy’s Second Act , Peter MacLeod and Richard Johnson argue that the First Act of democracy—anchored in voting rights and representative government—achieved extraordinary gains. Free elections, near-universal suffrage, and the peaceful transfer of power reshaped societies and expanded human freedom. But these achievements represent the promise of democracy, not its completion.
Their book offers a hopeful, clear-eyed vision for what comes next. Drawing on ground-breaking citizens’ assemblies in Ireland, Canada, and France—as well as democratic innovations from more than a dozen countries—MacLeod and Johnson show how we can build on the legacy of the First Act by creating new institutions that tap into the talents, judgement, and capabilities of ordinary people. They make the case that the public isn’t a risk to be managed, but a powerful resource ready to be harnessed and that the future depends on giving citizens real responsibility, not just a periodic vote.
Smart, story-driven, and deeply grounded in political theory and practice, Democracy’s Second Act is for changemakers ready to move beyond cynicism and rebuild democracy for a new era.

Read an Excerpt from Democracy’s Second Act:
The contrast between our democratic ideals and how things actually work; between how democracies valorize their publics and how they run them down is the backdrop for the recurring themes of this book We believe this contradiction is undermining democracy in profound but unseen ways If we want democracy to survive, then we need to start with a different way of thinking about the public And act on it The achievements of modern democracies should be celebrated but we can’t pretend they are the complete and final expression of our democratic potential They are simply the first act
The challenges that democracies face in the twenty-first century require an honest assessment of the limits of what the first act alone can achieve . And that’s where this book comes in . All across the democratic landscape, past and present, we have found examples of crises in governments and societies that expose a growing gulf between citizens and their elected representatives, between people and the institutions they consent to govern them . Important as elections are, they don’t tap into people’s capabilities or approach anything close to our potential to solve problems . Truly transformative democracy is beyond the reach of the electoral process . More than ever, we need democracy to be about something more . And fortunately, it is—at least, it’s starting to be . Across the demoralized landscape of democratic societies today, we can find examples of innovation, of change, of citizens coming together to learn, to engage, and to make choices together—in ways that suggest that a democratic evolution is underway Democracy’s Second Act is the story of people and publics

Across Canada, public systems are under immense strain . Climate disasters are escalating . Trust in institutions is eroding . Inequities are deepening . Technology is outpacing regulation . Political discourse has veered toward polarization, performance, and populism . And through it all, public servants continue to hold the line while keeping programs moving, balancing expectations, and delivering with integrity in systems that are often indifferent to all .
Public service is not what it used to be . Once viewed as a safe, stable career for generalists, it’s now a high-pressure, complex environment that demands emotional intelligence, political acumen, and strategic agility Today’s public servants must manage constant change, generational shifts, polarized policies, and the realities of hybrid work This isn’t just a job It’s a vocation that demands both head and heart
And still, people stay
They stay because they believe in the mission Because they care about their communities Because it’s a place where their values and skills align .
They stay because they have grit . But grit alone won’t be enough for what comes next…
Northern Grit offers honest stories about what it takes to lead in Canadian public service, told from a woman’s perspective through fictionalized composites grounded in real interviews and lived experience .
These are not polished case studies or inspirational soundbites . They are stories with friction . They honour the paradoxes: public service is principled and political, energizing and depleting, bold and bureaucratic, sometimes all in the same week . It tells you to be brave, but rewards safety It champions equity but rarely protects those who lead that work It prizes innovation but punishes failure It needs truth-tellers but promotes loyalty
These stories ask you to hold those contradictions To learn from them To grow through them
Life Lines
Art, Memory, Relationship
Joshua Hotaka Roth with Richard Lewis Roth
Life Lines is an intimate ethnography showing how elder care can become a creative process, turning advanced old age into an opportunity for parents and adult children to build deeper, more meaningful relationships .
Life Lines is an ethnographic exploration of elder care as a creative and relational process, centred on the author’s journey caring for his aging father. Over several years, these shared moments opened up new understandings of his father’s inner world, revealing the social and personal forces that shaped his life, dreams, and disappointments.
Blending personal narrative with ethnographic insight, Life Lines invites readers to reflect on the profound and often challenging journey of caring for an aging parent. As generations age and more families navigate the realities of advanced old age, this book offers a hopeful vision: caregiving can be more than a duty – it can become an opportunity for parents and adult children to forge deeper, more emotionally enriching relationships.
Through art, conversation, and shared discovery, Life Lines shows how we can move beyond care fatigue and disconnection, transforming the later years of life into a time of renewed connection, understanding, and appreciation.

Two Roses
A Story of Deception and Determination in Nazi Germany
Miriam Libicki and Rose Lipszyc
Edited by Mark Celinscak and Charlotte Schallié
Two Roses recounts the story of Holocaust survivor Rose Lipszyc, who posed as a Polish gentile along with her aunt, while working in a German factory Hiding in plain sight, it details the deep bond between the two women and their fight to survive as the world around them was being ripped apart
Two Roses depicts the heartbreaking story of Holocaust survivor Rose Lipszyc as presented in graphic narrative form. Produced as part of the Survivor-Centred Visual Narratives project, it is a powerful account of sacrifice, survival, and solidarity.
Born in Lublin, Poland in 1929, Rose Lipszyc was only ten years old when Nazi Germany invaded Poland setting off the Second World War. In October 1942, as her family was being deported from their home in Osmolice, Rose managed to escape sure death. While on their way to the train station, Rose’s mother pushed her out of line to help her get away, sacrificing herself for the sake of her daughter. Barely a teenager, Rose fled with the help of strangers and friends by using a false identity. She was then reunited with her aunt in Lublin, and the pair went on to work as forced labourers in a factory in Bremen, Germany by impersonating Polish gentile sisters. Depicting how these two women came together and survived the war under vulnerable aliases, Two Roses portrays the incredible depth of their connection and perseverance even as most of their family and relatives were being killed.
Once liberated, Rose settled in Toronto and in 2021, she was awarded the Order of Canada for her work in Holocaust education. A co-creation between awardwinning graphic novelist Miriam Libicki and survivor Rose Lipszyc, this book disrupts the narratives of victimization that often undermine the stories of Holocaust survivors. Instead of painting victims of human rights abuse as mere case studies, this book illuminates a crucial part of our shared history with radical care, honesty, and creativity.

Stained Glass
A Reflective History of Antisemitism
Flora Cassen
This book changes the conversation on antisemitism through an elegant blend of memoir and history
Stained Glass explores Jewish identity in postHolocaust Europe, confronting memory, belonging, and the persistence of antisemitism across generations and continents
In Stained Glass , Flora Cassen offers a deeply personal and intellectually rich exploration of Jewish life in Europe, from the shadows of the medieval past to the aftermath of the Holocaust and into the present. Blending memoir, family history, and historical analysis, she illuminates how old myths and prejudices about Jews continue to shape Jewish identity today.
Drawing from her upbringing in Antwerp’s Jewish community and her later life in America, Cassen weaves together historical events, family narratives, and contemporary challenges to paint a vivid portrait of Jewish experience in modern Europe. At once intimate and analytical, she reflects on childhood fears of being identified as Jewish, connecting these anxieties to the trauma of historical persecution and the Holocaust.
The book also offers a comparative analysis of Jewish life in Europe and America, highlighting the vibrancy of American Judaism while acknowledging rising concerns about antisemitism in the United States. By juxtaposing these experiences, Stained Glass invites readers to reflect on the future of Jewish communities in a world that is increasingly fractured and uncertain.

Comeback
Can Great Companies Rise Again?
Alfred Marcus
Comeback explores the high-stakes world of corporate turnarounds, analyzing how once-dominant firms, like Intel and Disney, struggled to recover from decline Blending case studies with strategic insights, the book examines the determinants of a company’s rise and fall from greatness
A cardinal rule of business? Success is never permanent. Comeback explores the turbulent journeys of eight iconic firms – Intel, Amazon, Dell, Best Buy, Disney, Pepsi, Monsanto, and Tesla – as they struggled to reclaim their former status in the face of various crises they confronted. This book offers a deep and compelling analysis of the strategic choices, leadership decisions, and market forces that shaped their rise, fall, and recoveries.
Most of these firms were able to stabilize their situations after experiencing crises, but none has fully regained industry-shaping dominance: Amazon remains caught between its low-margin retail core and its high-growth cloud unit, Pepsi has pulled back from the healthier alternatives it started to sell, and Tesla’s global lead in EVs is weakening under assault from rising Chinese competitors. Advancing the invaluable lesson that while downturns of different types in business are extremely common and full resurgence is rare, author Alfred Marcus investigates what held these companies back from restoring their past glory. Drawing on decades of expertise in strategy and business analysis, Marcus presents a compelling framework for understanding corporate renewal.
Comeback explores the paradoxes that underperforming businesses must navigate and reveals the challenges of innovation, competitive pressures, and shifting consumer expectations. The book demonstrates how the companies it describes hedged their bets, adapted to evolving conditions, and wrestled with the uncertainty of transformation. It sheds light on their accomplishments and setbacks, providing key insights into the paths that any company needs to take to make a comeback.
Whether you’re an investor, strategist, or business leader, Comeback provides essential lessons about resilience, transformation, and the difficult path from survival to sustained success.

Automata
The Power of AI Integrated with Advanced Robotics
Ibrahim Gedeon and Kyle B . Murray
Automata explores how AI-driven robotics will soon transform human work, drawing on real trends and emerging tech to reveal what’s coming – and why we must prepare for this shift within the next decade or two
Automata examines how AI and advanced robotics are rapidly surpassing human abilities in fields once thought uniquely ours – from playing chess to discovering new antibiotics to fraud detection. As Automata – AI integrated with advanced robotics – become superior at more tasks, the question is no longer if machines will replace workers, but how we can stay relevant in a world shaped by intelligent automation. This book explores the profound transformation ahead, drawing on realworld trends and technologies already beginning to reshape our lives.
With most of these changes expected within the next decade or two, Automata offers timely use cases and practical strategies to help individuals and organizations navigate this new era. It highlights needed changes in education – such as the importance of learning-to-learn and emotional intelligence – to help society prepare for this new age.
Automata is a vital guide for anyone seeking to thrive – rather than just survive – as human work, society, and daily life are redefined by the rise of machine intelligence.

The Horizon Line
A Story of Migration between Bangladesh, Italy, and London
Francesco Della Puppa, Francesco Matteuzzi, and Francesco Saresin
ethnoGRAPHIC
A rare look at the phenomenon of onward migration, The Horizon Line traces the paths and pressures that shape the lives of these “twice migrants,” bringing their experiences to life through comics
The Horizon Line tells the powerful story of migrants who move not just once, but twice—first from Bangladesh to Italy, and then onward to London.
Through the lens of a fictional ethnographer named Stefano and the expressive medium of comics, this innovative book brings to life the stories of “twice migrants”—individuals and families who choose to uproot themselves again in search of better opportunities, stability, and belonging.
Based on interviews and fieldwork, the book explores the emotional, social, and political dimensions of onward migration, revealing the challenges and hopes that shape these journeys. It shares the lived experiences of these “new Italian citizens,” while offering insight into the shifting landscape of Southern Europe and the global forces that influence migration routes.
As Stefano navigates the complexities of ethnographic research, readers gain a deeper understanding of how migration is studied—and felt. The Horizon Line is a vivid narrative and a valuable contribution to migration studies, giving voice to diasporic communities and shedding light on the realities of mobility in a rapidly changing world.

Plague
A Story of Smallpox in Montreal
Michael Bliss
Foreword by Gerald A . Evans
In this volume, first published in 1991, Michael Bliss, one of Canada’s most respected historians (1941–2017), provides a fascinating and detailed history of the last great smallpox epidemic in Canada
In January 1885, as the people of Montreal celebrated one of the greatest winter carnivals of the century, a deadly epidemic inched its way through the city streets. When the case of a railway porter suffering from smallpox was gravely mishandled, what followed was a “carnival of death” causing the preventable demise of over 3,000 Montrealers.
In Plague, historian Michael Bliss uncovers one of the most remarkable untold stories in Canadian history. Crafted through thorough and comprehensive research, Bliss recounts this tale of carnage and humanity in an engaging and vividly detailed format. Now updated with a foreword by infectious diseases expert Gerald A. Evans, this new edition of Plague puts forth an unflinching portrayal of the city of Montreal featuring quack doctors, French-Canadian strongmen, black-robed priests, crusading journalists, Louis Riel, and more.
Bliss depicts how every single death could have been avoided through vaccination even as the epidemic turned people against each other. The book shows how troops had to be called upon to guard smallpox hospitals against anti-vaccination rioters. In an uncanny mirroring of modern day, the whole city of Montreal was quarantined by the rest of North America as a charnel house of disease and death.
Bliss paints a picture of a Montreal routed by divisions and brought to its knees by an epidemic. By bringing to life the last epidemic of smallpox to devastate a city in the Western world, he writes a stark history of life, living, and the human condition. This book is a thriller, a horror story, and a parable about the infectious diseases that have shocked our times.

The Leisure Ethic
The End of Work and the Return of Virtue
David Edward Tabachnick
UTP Insights
The Leisure Ethic explores an ancient alternative to the work ethic for our technological age, offering a path to ethical living, purpose, and prosperity without work
After a century of warnings, the 500-year reign of the work ethic is over. The work ethic has shaped our character, given purpose to our lives, and driven civilization forward. Now, as technology replaces human labour, we are faced with a profound dilemma; this crisis will leave us in a deep civilizational malaise, profoundly bored, ethically impoverished and without direction.
In The Leisure Ethic, David Edward Tabachnick challenges the moral authority of work ethic and puts forth a long forgotten ancient alternative to work that can help reform and redirect our efforts toward building lives of ethical leisure. Through a historical and philosophical exploration of work, laziness, technological unemployment, and leisure, Tabachnick seeks to free our thinking and action from the shackles of the obsolete work ethic.
Far from a curse, The Leisure Ethic demonstrates that the end of work can be a turning point that frees us from drudgery and opens the door to reimagining human purpose beyond productivity.

Racism at Work
Bobby Siu
A daring exposé of racism in the workplace, this book explores how discrimination is embedded in our corporations and society at large Business expert Bobby Siu explores how best to eradicate it
The everyday experiences of racialized employees are the direct and indirect by-products of systemic racism. Racism at Work analyzes the interplay between prejudice and discrimination and how discriminatory potentials are embedded silently in the entire employment system, ranging from recruitment and applicant selection to performance evaluations, promotions, and terminations.
This book exposes the problems of the status quo by digging deep into existing institutional structures and processes and unearthing how they perpetuate social injustice. Management consultant Bobby Siu insists that legislation, civic administration, human resources policies and procedures, and union and employee responses to racism must be re-directed and re-structured to achieve the complete elimination of racism in employment. This book also recommends concrete political actions, reform in legislation, public policies and education, organizational programs, workplace practices, and enforcement mechanisms to remove system defects and recalibrate them in a new direction. Based on research studies and jurisdictional experiences, the recommendations presented have the power to better the lives of all people in the labour force.
Arguing that workplace racism is a microcosm for the bigotry and hate baked into the fabric of our societies, this book seeks to put an end it to it, in hopes of effecting global political change and social justice.

Wigmore on Carbon Monoxide
Medicolegal and Forensic Aspects of an Ancient, Silent Killer and Other Toxic Gases in Fires, Exhausts, and Explosions
James G . Wigmore
Wigmore on Carbon Monoxide uncovers the fascinating history and ongoing dangers of carbon monoxide, the invisible gas that has silently shaped human lives and legends from ancient times to today .
Wigmore on Carbon Monoxide offers a compelling exploration of the history and medicolegal aspects of carbon monoxide (CO), humanity’s ancient and silent killer. Odourless, non-irritating, and invisible, carbon monoxide has haunted human civilization since the discovery of fire. For centuries, unexplained nighttime deaths were attributed to witchcraft or demons, rather than the insidious effects of poor ventilation and combustion.
Despite advances in technology, CO poisoning remains a persistent threat today, arising from water heaters, gas stoves, charcoal barbecues, Zambonis, camp stoves, tent heaters, diesel generators, and power washers. Wigmore on Carbon Monoxide provides a comprehensive, well-organized, and thought-provoking examination of this deadly gas, tracing its impact on humans from antiquity to the present. Backed by over 600 studies, long-time forensic toxicologist James G. Wigmore presents complex information in an easily understandable manner for professionals such as lawyers, judges, scientists, coroners, unexplained death investigators, police officers, and students.
Through historical accounts, scientific discoveries, and medicolegal cases, this book illuminates the enduring dangers of carbon monoxide and underscores the importance of awareness and prevention in our modern world.

Courtroom Science and Trans Youth
Florence Ashley
This book examines how judges interpret science in cases involving transgender children, revealing how legal decisions often pathologize trans identities and offering a new approach to decision-making that centers the voices and needs of trans youth
Courtroom Science and Trans Youth investigates how Canadian courts engage with science and expert testimony in cases involving parental treatment of transgender youth. The book introduces the current scientific understanding of trans youth and the legal frameworks of custody and child protection in Canada. Through a critical analysis of all significant Canadian court decisions from 2000 to 2021 that address parental treatment of trans children, legal and health ethics expert Florence Ashley uncovers recurring patterns and themes in judicial reasoning.
The analysis reveals that while scientific evidence can sometimes support trans youth’s identities, it often reinforces clinicians’ authority and pathologizes trans experiences, limiting young people’s autonomy. Judges frequently rely on medical expertise that may be biased or outdated, resulting in decisions that both affirm and undermine trans youth. Drawing on these findings, Courtroom Science and Trans Youth advocates for legal reform that centres the rights and voices of trans youth themselves, moving away from requiring them to “prove” their gender and towards recognizing their right to gender self-determination.

Polarization, Eh?
The Causes and Consequences of Affective Polarization in Canada
Eric Merkley
Political divisions are growing around the world, while at same time democracy is in retreat . Polarization, Eh? explores the causes, and troubling consequences, of the increasing affective polarization and partisan hostility visible in Canada .
Polarization, Eh? explores the causes and consequences of the growing affective polarization and inter-partisan hostility in Canada. The cracks within Canadian society are now alarmingly clear, with Conservative party supporters becoming antagonistic towards Liberal and NDP voters and vice versa. This book explores the roots of these divisions while bringing us face-to-face with the consequences of our fragmenting political culture.
An expert on public opinion and party politics, Eric Merkley argues that growing partisan hostility has emerged from a widening ideological divide between Conservatives on the right, and Liberal and NDP supporters on the left, which is a product of the polarization of Canada’s political parties over time. He provides evidence of this multi-step theory using cross-sectional and longitudinal survey data and multilevel modelling, while also ruling out several alternative explanations like online echo chambers and growing social group divides. The book employs survey data and embedded experiments to show how rising partisan hostility has heightened partisan-based motivations when Canadians navigate the social and political world, leading to biased reasoning, partisan discrimination, COVID-19 polarization, and support for anti-democratic behaviour by politicians.
Polarization, Eh? highlights the dire need for institutional and societal reform to turn down the temperature in Canadian politics.

The Canadian Regime
An Introduction to Parliamentary Government in Canada, Eighth Edition
Patrick Malcolmson, Richard Myers, Gerald Baier, Thomas M .J . Bateman, and Dave Snow
This book provides a concise explanation of the fundamental principles and primary institutions of Canada’s political regime
Using a historical-institutional approach, The Canadian Regime introduces students to the idea of the “regime” as a lens through which they can understand how institutions interact with the basic principles of the political order.
The authors explain how the Canadian liberal democratic regime was founded on the fundamental principles of liberty and equality and discuss the ways in which Canada’s institutions have developed and operate in accordance with these principles. They also examine how the regime has failed to be inclusive of Indigenous peoples in significant respects, and how reforms to Canada’s governing institutions challenge historical assumptions concerning parliamentary government and federalism. This vital text has been updated to include the results of the 2025 federal election and offers teaching resources such as an instructor’s manual, a test bank, and lecture slides to support instructors and engage students.
The Canadian Regime continues to provide an accessible introduction to Canadian politics, encouraging students to understand and appreciate the country’s unique governmental structures.

Governing Military Sacrifice
Drones, Privatization, and the Future of War
Bianca Baggiarini
Investigating the breakdown of the historically important connection between citizen-soldiering and military sacrifice wrought by drones and privatization, this book demonstrates how modern conflicts have been rendered “anti-social . ”
Governing Military Sacrifice examines the deterioration of the relationship between citizen-soldiering and military sacrifice. As a key historical archetype, the citizen-soldier has come to represent the highest expression of devotion for the nation in cultural imaginings of war. However, this book asks if bloodshed today even requires this offering of the self. This work explores the social, ethical, and political implications of the desire to enact violence in a post-sacrificial world.
Following the Vietnam War, casualty-aversion and a political intolerance for wartime deaths and injuries turned military sacrifice from a simple assumption to an increasingly contested idea. As a result, military sacrifice became governed. Sociologist and international relations scholar Bianca Baggiarini argues that military privatization and the usage of drones in warfare emerged as related or parallel measures to exercise control over martyrdom. Drawing on Foucauldian discourse analysis and interview data with drone pilots, soldiers, veterans, and defence professionals, the book traces the decay of the sacrificial cults and idioms surrounding the citizen-soldier.

When military sacrifice is no longer an assumed feature of war, it radically transforms the social and political meaning of bodies-in-war. Altering how we understand and witness war, technological transformations create an “anti-social” version of conflict which constrains our ability to critique and prevent its outbreak. Governing Military Sacrifice thus inquires whether the future of war may be found in a return to the past.

Other Diplomacies and Canada
Representations and Relationships beyond the State
Edited by Lana L Wylie, Mary M Young, and Susan J . Henders
This book reveals how Canadian-linked non-state actors – from activists to Indigenous groups – shape global diplomacy, challenging state-centric views and expanding our understanding of international relations .
Other Diplomacies and Canada offers a comprehensive exploration of the diverse diplomatic roles played by Canadian-linked non-state actors. Moving beyond traditional, state-centric views of diplomacy, this book presents rich case studies spanning language activism, climate change, tourism, childhood, migration and diaspora, humanitarian work, international development volunteering, Indigenous diplomacy, and solidarity activism.
By examining these varied forms of “other diplomacies,” the book seeks to expand our understanding of diplomacy as a practice embedded in social relations and spaces far beyond official state channels. Chapters on Indigenous diplomacy, the diplomacies of childhood, and anthropocentric approaches challenge conventional, political, and ethical assumptions in mainstream and critical diplomatic studies. Through detailed analysis, this volume reveals when, how, and why non-state actors connected to Canada engage in diplomatic practices, and explores the power dynamics shaped by class, gender, ethnicity, race, nation, and age within these encounters. It demonstrates that non-state actors are not only diplomatic agents in their own right but can also serve as collaborators or instruments of the state in official diplomacy.
Essential reading for scholars of international relations, Canadian foreign policy, critical diplomatic studies, and transnationalism, this book sheds light on the complex, contested, and often overlooked forms of diplomacy that shape Canada’s global presence today.

Big Worlds
Politics and Elections in the Canadian Provinces and Territories, Second Edition
Edited by Jared J Wesley and J P Lewis
Big Worlds examines Canada’s provincial and territorial politics in the 21st century, detailing each region’s unique political culture, party system, and recent elections
Big Worlds explores the political landscapes of Canada’s provinces and territories. This second edition examines how and why Canadians govern themselves at the subnational level. While the story of national politics often dominates headlines, Big Worlds reminds us that each province and territory contains its own political universe shaped by distinct histories, cultures, and identities.
This book is organized around three key themes in each region: political culture, party system, and recent elections. Readers will discover why some Western Canadians have embraced populist movements, why Quebecers continue to debate the future of their nation within Canada, how democracy in Atlantic Canada has evolved, why Ontario appears to be in the midst of another Progressive Conservative dynasty, and how northern territories are reshaping ideas of self-government. Political scientists Jared J. Wesley and J.P. Lewis have updated the second edition of Big Worlds with the latest data from the Consortium on Electoral Democracy (C-Dem), including responses to COVID-19, the rise of new political movements, and landmark elections. This book also features thematic chapters on regionalism and leadership to highlight the broader patterns that connect (and divide) the country.
An essential look into the distinctive yet uniting factors governing policies, democracy, and people across Canadian landscapes, this book is a vital contribution to our understanding of the country’s politics.

I, Helene Kottannerin
The Lady-in-Waiting Who Stole Hungary’s Crown
Julia Burkhardt and Christina Lutter
Translated by Jonathan R . Lyon
This book provides an English translation and in-depth commentary on Helene Kottannerin’s gripping firsthand account of stealing the Hungarian royal crown in 1440 to secure the throne for the unborn heir .
This remarkable translation portrays Helene Kottannerin’s thrilling and rare autobiographical tale of stealing the Hungarian royal crown in 1440 to protect the throne for the unborn heir of Queen Elizabeth of Luxembourg.
In a time of political uncertainty following King Albert II’s death, the pregnant and widowed queen entrusted her ladyin-waiting, Helene, with the daring mission to retrieve the kingdom’s Holy Crown from the castle of Visegrád. Helene’s successful theft not only altered the course of Hungarian history but also inspired her to compose one of the most extraordinary autobiographical documents of late medieval Central Europe – a rarity for its time, especially from a woman’s perspective. Esteemed historians and translators Julia Burkhardt, Christina Lutter, and Jonathan R. Lyon offer an up-to-date English translation of Helene’s vivid narrative, originally written in Early New High German. Supplemented by the authors’ insightful commentary on the history, culture, and implications surrounding Helene’s actions and writing, this book is a unique historical source accessible to students and general readers alike.
Helene’s enthralling story provides an unparalleled window into the world of fifteenth-century court politics, female agency, and the power of personal testimony. Of related interest: The Trial of Jeanne Catherine: Infanticide in Early Modern Geneva

Sickle and Veil
Communist Gender Policies Towards Muslim Minorities in Eastern Europe
Ivan Simic
This book examines communist gender policies targeting Muslim communities in the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria, and shows how Muslim women and men navigated them through both resistance and compliance .
Communist gender policies were often violent, placing many people, particularly women, in difficult and marginalized positions. Targeted individuals were rarely consulted, yet their clothing and bodily practices were consistently policed and politicized. Across Central Asia, veils, the fez, shalvari, circumcision, and even Muslim names were banned or stigmatized.
Sickle and Veil offers a comprehensive transnational history of communist gender policies by looking at how ideas about gender were crafted, travelled across borders, adapted to fit local needs, and negotiated at both community and personal levels in the Soviet Union, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia. Drawing on extensive archival research across six languages and multiple countries, this book brings connectedness to the fore. By tracing internal developments, turning points, ruptures, and controversies, the book deconstructs established national historiographies. It demonstrates how Soviet policies in Central Asia significantly influenced the ways in which other communist regimes approached Muslim populations in their own contexts.

The Politics of Industrial Closure
Transnational and Comparative Histories
Edited by Steven High and Stefan Berger
Deindustrialization and the Politics of Our Time
The Politics of Industrial Closure considers the how and why of deindustrialization through a transatlantic perspective
The Politics of Industrial Closure explores how the political consequences of neoliberal globalization have led to the decline of industrial regions across Western Europe and North America.
Co-editors and historians Steven High and Stefan Berger, and the team of contributors, depict that deindustrialization and its legacies have long-term impacts by diving into its ongoing manifestations and aftermaths. With collaboratively written chapters exploring Italy, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada, this volume examines the impacts of deindustrialization, demonstrating that it is an uneven geographical, spatial, and temporal process. This study transcends the local and regional investigations that often predominate deindustrialization studies, and the wider transnational and cross-national perspective of this work highlights the ways that geography matters in the deindustrialization process. This collection pursues diverse avenues of investigation into deindustrialization in hopes to understand the deep roots of recent, universal, and political phenomena.
The Politics of Industrial Closure considers deindustrialization as yet another form of dispossession within global capitalism and seeks to break out of a unitary understanding of the problem of deindustrialization.

German and European Studies
Red Missionaries explores the respective media strategies of French and German Socialist parties during the inter-war period (1920-1939), investigating communication strategies in the traditionally conservative regions of Bavaria and Brittany
Red Missionaries explores the communication strategies of French and German Socialist parties during the inter-war period (1920-1939).
With the help of eighteen newspapers – ten Bavarian and eight Breton – alongside a rich variety of both primary and secondary sources, this book examines how the Section française de l’Internationale ouvrière (SFIO) and the Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD) navigated political messaging in two traditionally conservative regions. Focusing on electoral campaigns and May Day-related events between 1919 and 1939, the study challenges the prevailing view of these parties as inflexible and doctrinaire. Instead, it reveals a surprising adaptability and nuance in their approaches, questioning the notion that both parties inevitably became more bureaucratic and conservative during this period.
Through detailed analysis of press coverage and party activities, Red Missionaries uncovers unexpected similarities between the SFIO and SPD, suggesting that their strategies were more aligned than previously assumed. Ultimately, this book not only reconsiders established narratives but also deepens our understanding of socialist politics in inter-war Europe.

A Continent of Colleagues Backroom
Politics and Interwar Democracy
James McSpadden
German and European Studies
A Continent of Colleagues uncovers how interwar European parliamentarians built cross-party and international networks behind the scenes, shaping democracy even as rising extremism pushed political debate into private backrooms
In the wake of the First World War, Central Europe saw the birth of new republics and hope for democratic renewal. This book explores the lives, work, and networks of interwar parliamentarians, focusing on their navigation of political sociability and their evolving roles on the international stage.
Challenging the common narrative of the 1920s and 1930s as an era of insurmountable political division, A Continent of Colleagues delves into the behindthe-scenes world of European politics. Drawing on diaries, letters, calendars, and memoirs from politicians across Germany, Czechoslovakia, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, the United Kingdom, and beyond, historian James McSpadden reconstructs the informal networks and personal relationships that shaped parliamentary life. These cross-party and global connections facilitated legislation, diplomacy, and even personal favours.
This book depicts how moderate voices were sidelined and cooperation declined as political parties radicalized. A Continent of Colleagues demonstrates how this shift contributed to the rise of anti-democratic movements that later plunged the world into war.

(Re)Centring the Weimar Republic tells the story of centrist politicians, thinkers, and cultural figures who strived to build stability and facilitate compromise during the fraught interwar years in Germany .
(Re)Centring the Weimar Republic explores how centrist German politicians and intellectuals sought to foster stability and cooperation during the interwar period.
This book offers a new perspective on the Republic’s efforts to define and hold an ambitious and productive middle ground. Leading scholars and cultural practitioners from the fields of history, German studies, philosophy, literary studies, and music document the progressive activities of the Weimar Republic’s “centre” to answer the question: how can political centrism employ social, cultural, and democratic institutions to resist polarization and extremism? This book’s three sections reveal how key thinkers worked to balance pluralism and national identity, how politicians struggled to hold centrist positions across right-leaning, centrist, and left-leaning parties, and how contemporary culture today interprets those efforts for audiences in the press, the museum, and the concert hall.
(Re)Centring the Weimar Republic offers a historical touchstone for evaluating liberal democracy pushed to its limits and the multipartisan efforts to reinforce its principles.

Ideology of Purity Patterns in Animal Breeding
and Eugenics, 1860–1920
Margaret E . Derry
Ideology of Purity analyses how animal breeding practices compare to eugenic ideology through a study of how the eugenics movement deployed certain theories and themes from the practice of animal breeding
Ideology of Purity challenges the assumption that animal breeding has served as a reliable model for eugenics through a direct comparison of the views of eugenicists with those of animal breeders. Eugenicists have cited animal breeding to justify their conceptions on human heredity and purity, misunderstanding the true meaning behind these principles and practices. Rather than accepting eugenic rhetoric at face value, this book examines how concepts like purity have been understood and applied differently in animal breeding and human eugenics. It explores how government policies have responded to both groups and aligned their demands. Historian Margaret E. Derry shows that the state promoted different forms of “purity” for animals and humans, and that the perceived parallels were more rhetorical than real. Through an analysis of topics such as nature versus nurture and the role of selective breeding, this book uncovers fundamental differences in goals, methods, and assumptions surrounding breeding. By drawing the conclusion that connections between eugenics and animal breeding were largely constructed through suggestive language rather than substantive similarity, Derry offers a new and critical perspective on the historical relationship between science, ideology, and policy.

Active Women Indigenous Women’s
Social and Political Work in Kanata’s West
Sarah Nickel
Active Women examines how, from the 1930s to the 1980s, Indigenous women in Kanata’s West identified everyday challenges and responded with purposeful, multifaceted social and political action – uncovering the deep commitment and care driving their activism
Active Women uncovers the widespread, collaborative, adaptive, and transformative activism of Indigenous women in Kanata’s West from the 1930s to the 1980s. This book emphasizes how everyday acts – caregiving, organizing, legal activism, and advocacy – formed a powerful political movement reshaping Indigenous politics and challenging colonial and patriarchal systems. Historian and Indigenous politics scholar Sarah Nickel traces the emergence and maturation of the Indigenous women’s movement by taking a thematic and embedded case study approach to examine the threads of women’s struggles as they emerged and became enmeshed in local, regional, national, and transnational considerations. Framing Indigenous feminism as a flexible set of practices challenging colonialism, sexism, and gender inequality, the work draws on scholars like Joyce Green and Maile Arvin. The research follows decolonial practices, centring Indigenous women’s voices within colonial archives and promoting empathy in historical research.
By chronicling a vibrant era of Indigenous women’s politicization and organization, this book documents the revolutionary impact they had in their communities and beyond.
Sarah Nickel is an associate professor of history at the University of Alberta and Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in Indigenous Politics and Gender.

Online Learning and the Politics of Access in Public Education
Beyhan Farhadi
This book critically examines and challenges the myth that online education can free us from the constraints of traditional in-person schooling, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic .
Debunking misconceptions about online education and contesting the myth of a one-size-fits-all solution, Online Learning and the Politics of Access in Public Education explores the complex realities of e-learning.
Focusing on the ethical dilemmas of online education in a data-driven, profit-oriented world, the book examines how the notion of choice in K-12 education can commodify public schools, often deepening existing inequalities both locally and globally. Beyhan Farhadi, a former teacher turned professor studying education technology, highlights the complexities of access to online learning and questions whether technology can genuinely address issues of quality and equity in a landscape shaped by corporate influence over students and surveillance and privacy concerns.
Drawing connections between the pandemic’s impact on education and the ongoing marketization of schools across North America, Farhadi illustrates how e-learning can perpetuate the same social and cultural disparities found in traditional classrooms. The book raises vital questions about the role of publicly funded education, the persistence of systemic oppression in schooling, and whether online learning can meaningfully bridge the gaps created by deep rooted inequities. Online Learning and the Politics of Access in Public Education is an essential read for anyone concerned about the future of education and its complex political dynamics.

Rescuing Reason How History Education Can Help Save Democracy
Alan Sears and Carla L Peck
UTP Insights
Rescuing Reason argues that reimagining history education in Canada’s schools is essential for fostering civic reasoning, empathy, and engagement, and offers a practical roadmap to strengthen democracy through citizens who are better equipped to engage with pressing contemporary issues
Rescuing Reason tackles the pressing crisis of civic engagement and public deliberation, drawing on Canadian and international examples, with a particular emphasis on Canada’s democratic landscape. The book argues that K-12 public education has become too narrowly focused on utilitarian aims at the expense of the humanities, especially history. Educators Alan Sears and Carla L. Peck contend that this shift has undermined the cultivation of well-rounded citizens equipped for meaningful participation in civic life.
This book proposes that a renewed emphasis on history education, taught with depth and rigour, can foster civic reason, empathy, and a shared sense of civic truth. Through detailed frameworks and practical approaches, the book outlines how history can be taught to develop students’ abilities in civic reasoning and engagement, ultimately strengthening democracy. Rescuing Reason makes a compelling case for the vital role of history education in nurturing civic competencies. The book offers a clear, actionable plan for educators, policymakers, and the public to reorient education towards preparing students not just for the workforce, but for active, thoughtful citizenship in a complex democratic society.

Sustainability in Early Childhood Education
A Living Inquiry
Margaret MacDonald and Elaine Beltran-Sellitti
Through an artful long-term project with young children and their educators, this book embodies the vision of sustainability as foundational to curriculum composition
Educators Elaine Beltran-Sellitti and Margaret MacDonald follow the story and findings of a nine-month long research project that took place in a living, environmentally friendly, “more than green” building housing two university-run childcare centres. The building of interest was designed with many of Reggio Emilia’s learning principles in mind. Together, the authors asked the questions: What can children and teachers learn from and with this environmentally conscious Reggio-inspired building? And what is the educator’s role in supporting their resultant curiosity and learning? In addition to understanding the special context that was engendered by the living building, the book also addresses the wide-ranging tensions and pressures affecting contemporary teaching practices of curriculum as living inquiry.
This book includes the articulation of a vision for curriculum that is attuned to the elements of sustainability reflected in the architecture of the childcare building, in its furnishings and materials, in the intention to avoid waste, and in the relationships with the forest and garden. Nurtured by varied perspectives including the pedagogy of Reggio Emilia, social constructivism, and new materialism, this book embraces a future for sustainability achieved through the nourishment of meaningful curriculum.

Teamwork and Team Talk
Decision-making across the Boundaries in Health and Social Care
Edited by Srikant Sarangi
Studies in Communication in Organizations and Professions
Bringing together original, empirically grounded studies, Teamwork and Team Talk offers a state-of-the-art perspective on team-based decision-making in complex health and social care settings .
Decision-making in institutional and professional settings has remained an area of curiosity for social science and communication researchers. This first-of-its-kind edited volume demonstrates how team talk and teamwork are paramount to decision-making in workplaces.
In contemporary Western societies, the conditions of decision-making are rapidly changing with the foregrounding of division of professional labour and distributed expertise against the backdrop of a client-centred ideology that legitimizes shared decision-making. Increasingly, in health and social care settings, key decisions concerning clients are arrived at in team meetings, which have consequences both for the decisional processes and outcomes. This book argues that team-based decision-making can be studied optimally at the interactional level within an institutional backdrop. The contributors of Teamwork and Team Talk select particular sites of teamwork and team talk and adopt different analytical frameworks within the qualitative research paradigm to explore specific talk–work configurations. Like an orchestra, the division of interactional labour seems distributed and coordinated along the lines of role-responsibilities.
Bringing together empirically grounded studies focusing on how team talk and teamwork are paramount for problem formulation, generation of options, assessment of solutions and more, the team of global contributors brings to light the tensions, benefits, and complexities inherent to these processes.

Pre-systemic Foundations for Translation Studies
Readings Informing Systemic Functional Linguistics
Edited by Bo Wang, Yuanyi Ma, and Christian M I M Matthiessen
Bringing together a collection of pre-SFL and embryonic SFL publications from 1935 to 1969, this book highlights a range of works that directly contributed to the conceptualization and development of translation studies empowered by SFL .
Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) has been concerned with translation studies since its very inception. Such an interest in translation can be traced back to concepts and theories in the pre-SFL and embryonic SFL stages, such as scale and category theory, Firthian linguistics, and even Malinowski’s empirical field work in the Trobriand Islands. Pre-systemic Foundations for Translation Studies thus uncovers papers that represent the early engagement between linguistics and translation studies even prior to the development of SFL.
As linguists and educators, Bo Wang, Yuanyi Ma, and Christian M.I.M. Matthiessen divide the discussion into four parts, covering studies by key figures in the field. Part I includes works by Bronisław Malinowski and J.R. Firth, who have laid the foundations for Halliday’s SFL. Part II documents Halliday’s publications, focusing on his machine translation project started in the mid-1950s led by Margaret Masterman, demonstrating the significance of rank scale in translation studies and discussing the relevance of translation in the context of language education. Part III collects two chapters by J.C. Catford, who examines the significance of translation equivalence and translation shift and locates translation studies within a general linguistic framework informed by Halliday’s scale and category theory. Finally, Part IV captures Jean Ure and Jeffrey Ellis’s application of scale and category theory, the precursor of SFL, to compare the source text and the target text in translation, locating translation as a domain within comparative descriptive linguistics.
This book explores the thematic chronology and intertextuality embedded in the interplay between translation studies and SFL.

Health-Harming Legal Needs
A Guide for Canadian Primary Health Care Clinicians
Edited by Rami Shoucri and Jennifer Stone
This book empowers primary care professionals to recognize and respond to legal issues that deeply affect their patients’ health – such as housing insecurity, benefits denial, and immigration challenges – through practical, case-based learning .
Health-Harming Legal Needs equips primary health care professionals with the tools to recognize and respond to legal issues that are injurious to health, particularly among low-income patients. Co-developed by medical and legal experts, this book advances health equity through the integration of legal support into clinical care.
Utilizing a practical, case-based approach, it helps clinicians identify when legal issues such as eviction, denial of social benefits, immigration status, family breakdown, discrimination at work, or criminal legal system involvement may be undermining their patients’ health. It also focuses on several patient populations with unique legal needs, including pediatric patients, people living with HIV, Indigenous peoples, and people living with intellectual or developmental disabilities. It demystifies the legal systems that patients interact with and builds clinician confidence in navigating and leveraging community legal support. Central to the book is the introduction of Health and Justice Partnerships, a flexible, collaborative model that brings legal and health professionals together to address the root causes of poor health. By fostering shared understanding and joint dialogue across sectors, the text shows how meaningful legal-health collaboration can enhance patient care, reduce provider burnout, and promote equity and access to justice.
Through real-world examples and actionable guidance, the book underscores that legal support can make a decisive difference in moments that feel hopeless – for both patients and care teams. It ultimately encourages clinicians to see legal advocacy as part of a holistic approach to care and offers a road map for integrating this perspective into their practice.

Theology in Thirty-Six Dialogues (and Sixty Lessons)
A Cultural Translation of Abu Yusr al-Pazdawi’s Kitab Usul al-Din
Dimensions: Islam, Muslims, and Critical Thought
Translated and with an Introduction by
Rumee Ahmed
Rumee Ahmed’s Theology in Thirty-Six Dialogues (and Sixty Lessons) presents the first accessible English translation of a classic Islamic theological text written by Abu Yusr al-Pazdawi, one of the most prominent scholars in Muslim history
Late in the 11th century, renowned Hanafi scholar Abu Yusr alPazdawi wrote a theological treatise that became one of the most celebrated books in Muslim history. This book is the first English translation of that manuscript, Kitab Usul al-Din.
Written in a highly accessible style, Kitab Usul al-Din introduces readers to theology through conversations on some of the most important theological issues in history: Why did God create us? Where do we go when we die? What makes someone a good person? Does God love us? Al-Pazdawi situates central issues in Islamic thought within a series of dialogues and debates, and challenges readers to draw their own conclusions.
Presented here for the first time in English, Theology in Thirty-Six Dialogues (and Sixty Lessons) offers al-Pazdawi’s text as a foundational introduction to Islamic theology for English speakers. Islamic studies professor Rumee Ahmed begins each dialogue with brief contextualizing notes that familiarize readers with the topics under discussion. Staying true to alPazdawi’s call-and-response style, Ahmed’s translation is presented as a series of acts and Socratic dialogues that preserve the performative nature of the original and engage the reader in a dynamic way.
Putting forth a reflective and unprecedented translation, this book invites readers of all backgrounds to engage with the most vital issues in Islamic thought.

Sport and Violence Against Women
Research, Theory, and Policy
Walter S . DeKeseredy, Martin D . Schwartz, and Leah Oldham
A timely and scathing breakdown of violence against women in sport-related contexts, this book pushes for equity and justice in sports for all
Sport and Violence Against Women offers an incisive examination of violence against women in the world of athletics.
Drawing on decades of award-winning sociological research, authors Walter S. DeKeseredy, Martin D. Schwartz, and Leah Oldham provide an accessible yet rigorous analysis that bridges empirical evidence, theoretical frameworks, and policy considerations. The book confronts urgent questions, exploring why elite, amateur, and professional sports often serve as strongholds for rape culture, misogyny, and abuse; the roles of male athletes, coaches, and authority figures in perpetuating physical, sexual, psychological, and economic violence against women and girls; and how a culture of toxic masculinity persists in sports, even as other sectors of society make strides toward greater gender equity.
By exploring the political, economic, and organizational factors that sustain these harmful dynamics, the authors illuminate the broader social forces at play and challenge readers to consider what can be done to address these pressing issues. Impactful and relevant, Sport and Violence Against Women is essential reading for scholars, policymakers, journalists, athletics enthusiasts, and laypeople alike – sparking debate and demanding action in the ongoing fight against violence toward women in sport.

Surveillance and the Dossier
Record Keeping, Vulnerability, and Reputational Politics
Edited by Cristina Plamadeala and Özgün Erdener Topak
A timely, interdisciplinary collection that investigates the role of dossier-based surveillance in society, this book explores how dossiers are used by various regimes as a key bureaucratic technique linked to violence, reputational harm and human rights violations .
Surveillance and the Dossier delves into how dossiers, both paper-based and digital, have been used by governments both historically and in contemporary times to inflict various forms of violence upon the public, including psychological, physical, and reputational.
This volume establishes dossier creation as the foundational practice of all bureaucracies, despite differences in how it has been weaponized as a technique of power by different systems. In nine case studies, ranging from police dossiers in Nazi Germany to China’s Hukou family dossier system, this book examines the evolution of surveillance in societies. Surveillance and society researchers Cristina Plamadeala and Özgün Erdener Topak engage in a diverse yet comprehensive study of this surveillance tool, looking at examples such as dossiers implicating former members of Zimbabwe’s Central Intelligence Organization (CIO), dossiers used in Cold War-era Australia to monitor migrants from the Soviet Union, dossiers of colonial Japan’s Unit 731, deployed in Manchukuo, in Northeast China, and dossiers mobilized for Canada’s World War II conscription program. Deeply relevant and imperative, Surveillance and the Dossier seeks to understand the links between the infliction of state-violence and surveillance.
This book demonstrates that dossiers serve as a valuable platform for understanding the past and present of surveillance societies across governments and countries.

The Craft of Belonging
Material Culture and Social Boundaries in Sápmi
Matthew Magnani and Natalia Magnani
Tracing contemporary material culture back through the archaeological record demonstrates how the meanings of community belonging shift over time
The Craft of Belonging explores the role of craft and its mediation of social boundaries, particularly in communities that are under state pressure. Anthropologists Matthew Magnani and Natalia Magnani blend anthropology and archaeology to explore the role of craft in communitymaking from prehistory to present with the Sámi, the Indigenous peoples of Northern Europe.
Sápmi, the Sámi homeland, has sat at a material crossroads for millennia. Forests, tundras, and extended social networks offered raw materials autochthonous and imported. Wood, antler, cloth, and silver were crafted to cope with Arctic climates and state incursions. Integrating archaeological, ethnographic and Indigenous perspectives to reveal the transformative nature of material culture, The Craft of Belonging shows how long-term perspectives accentuate the shifting meanings and malleability of material social boundaries. Local agencies intersect with changing trade networks, colonialism and climate change, to resonate through the production, uses and signals of Sámi craft (duodji). This book thus contends that ancestral material cultures, far from static cultural domains, are innovative sites of social transformation used to assert rights to land, water, and community belonging.

Ambiguous Inclusion
Migration and Race on the Russia-China Border
Lauren Woodard
Ambiguous Inclusion explores how Russian citizenship policies shape belonging, race, and identity for migrants along the country’s Asian borders .
Ambiguous Inclusion examines how migrants and state officials in Primorskii krai – Russia’s Far Eastern border with China and North Korea – draw on legacies of inclusion as migrants apply for Russian citizenship.
Though many migrants from post-Soviet states obtain expedited citizenship due to shared language and Soviet ties, they often face exclusion in their everyday lives in Russia . Through ethnographic accounts, this book explores how Soviet ideals of internationalism and modern-day nationalism clash in everyday encounters between migrants and bureaucrats. Russia’s citizenship policies frame inclusion around Russian language and multiethnic unity, yet in practice often reinforce hierarchies linked to ethnicity and whiteness, even as race remains officially unacknowledged. Drawing on anthropologist Lauren Woodard’s 17 months of fieldwork, Ambiguous Inclusion reveals how officials reproduce xenophobia, even when they do not intend to, by transforming migrants into ‘compatriots.’
By tracing how inclusion is both granted and withheld, this book shows how inclusion and belonging operate alongside exclusion and discrimination in post-imperial contexts. It challenges conventional views of nation-states and migration, offering insights into the ways in which race, identity, and citizenship are negotiated in contemporary Russia.

Coastal Futures Life Between and at the Edges of the Sea
Edited by Arne Harms and Lukas Ley Anthropological Horizons
Coastal Futures examines the “coastalization” of society from an ethnographic perspective .
Coastal Futures explores the profound transformation of our relationship with the world’s coasts, as nearly 40 percent of humanity now lives within 100 kilometers of the sea.
This book reveals the coast as a diverse, networked landscape shaped by intertidal ecologies, sprawling infrastructures, and everyday practices that reach far beyond the shore. By uncovering the “coastalization” of society, the book highlights the growing significance of shores in understanding contemporary life and environmental change. Drawing on rich ethnographic research, the volume challenges traditional notions of the coast as simply a physical object or maritime boundary.
Coastal Futures argues that a scientific inquiry into the dynamic interplay of society and coastlines is both urgent and essential, encouraging more responsible and imaginative ways of living with and on the coast. Ultimately, the book redeems the coast as a geo-ontological force—one that shapes, enables, and constrains the transformative energies of global assemblages, rather than serving as a passive backdrop to human activity.

Anthropology
Affect as Cultural Critique
Methods for Ethnographic Uncovering
Edited by Daniel White, Emma E . Cook, and Andrea De Antoni
Affect as Cultural Critique offers ethnographic essays on everyday practices of feeling to explore affect-based methods, exercises, and experiments for cultural inquiry beyond anthropology’s Western and theory-heavy analytics .
Affect as Cultural Critique assembles leading anthropologists, affect theorists, and artist-activist scholars to ask, what if the most constructive response to moments of ethnographic puzzlement was not the formulation of an answer but the cultivation of a feeling? What if anthropology as a discipline could leverage affect to differently connect and cultivate collaboration with others?
The essays in Affect as Cultural Critique feature ethnographic accounts of people actively describing, experimenting with, and otherwise exercising affect in ways that challenge the academy’s inherited models for analyzing emotional life. Through an experimental collection of traditional ethnographic essays and artistactivist-generated critiques, this volume explores how everyday modes of feeling function as methods of knowing. Affect as Cultural Critique seeks new trajectories for the discipline through a rediscovery of discovery itself as a guiding professional aim, as methodological inspiration, and as a source of reflexive critique of the discipline’s philosophical and theory-heavy analytics.

Crisis in a Tweet
The Rise of the Social Media Crisis
Duncan Koerber
Crisis in a Tweet shows how a single social media post, like, or share can rapidly escalate into a public calamity, instantly disrupting careers and brands in today’s hyperconnected world
Crisis in a Tweet explores the alarming reality that a single social media post can unleash severe consequences for individuals and organizations alike.
Unlike traditional emergencies caused by natural disasters or product failures, social media upheaval originates in the digital realm but leads to real world consequences – job losses, reputational harm, and public shame – disproportionate to the original act. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of how social media platforms serve not just as communication tools but as environments for the emergence of crises. Drawing on case studies from platforms like X, Facebook, and YouTube, this book outlines a fundamental shift in media ecology, where everyday digital interactions become amplified into firestorms. It investigates key drivers of this trend, including the democratization of crisis creation, the amplified effects of online mobs, and the rise of partisan communities weaponizing outrage.
From the unearthing of old posts to viral hashtag movements fueling global reputational attacks, this book explains how digital crises differ from traditional ones and why society assigns them outsized significance. Rather than advocating for more regulation and prevention, Crisis in a Tweet calls for a cultural shift in how we perceive and respond to online controversies.

The Historical IImaginary Quebec National Cinema in
the Twentyfirst Century
Amy J Ransom
The Historical Imaginary examines Quebec’s French-language feature films through the lens of “national cinema,” focusing on genres that depict images of the past
Building on the notion of ‘Quebec national cinema’ outlined by Bill Marshall, this book analyses Frenchlanguage fiction features that construct images of the past.
Scholar of Quebec cultural studies, Amy J. Ransom, explains how the studied films participate in the nation’s ‘historical imaginary’, revisiting and revisioning the past for present-day audiences and constructing new ‘sites of memory’ for twenty-firstcentury Québécois viewers. Each chapter examines a film genre explicitly engaged in representing the past: the historical film per se, the historical fantasy, the literary adaptation, the biopic and memoir, and the period film. The Historical Imaginary offers analyses of significant films and filmmakers while also providing a broader overview of these genres’ development in Quebec. From examining rigorous historical documents like Le 15 février, 1839 (2001) to quirky fantasies like Je me souviens (2009), and from the heritage films Nouvelle France (2004) and Maria Chapdaleine (2021) to the biopics Louis Cyr, l’homme le plus fort du monde (2013) and La Bolduc (2018), Ransom’s analyses travel across time, space, and genres.
In this insightful cultural investigation, three generations of filmmakers are brought together to highlight their influence upon the construction of a Québécois national identity.

Beyond Building Architecture and Gender in
NineteenthCentury France
Heidi Brevik-Zender University of Toronto Romance Series
Beyond Building examines architecture in nineteenth-century France through the lens of gender, making a case for the adoption of an expansive view of architecture and the inclusion of previously excluded makers and works
Beyond Building offers a groundbreaking exploration of nineteenth-century French architecture through the lens of gender, focusing on the years 1852 to 1902.
Highlighting the creative work of four women and one nonbinary individual, this book reveals that architectural production extended beyond men, even when only men could be officially certified as architects. Drawing on diverse materials, including poetry, photography, archaeological artifacts, literary fiction, theater sets, and journalism, Beyond Building brings to light the contributions of those long excluded from architectural scholarship due to their gender. This book advocates for a more expansive understanding of architecture’s history by including overlooked makers and works. It examines figures such as Jane Dieulafoy, whose gender-fluid life as an archeologist in Iran is captured in colonial-era writings; Marie Krysinska, the only woman in the free-verse poetry movement; photographer Geneviève-Élisabeth Disdéri and the Countess de Castiglione, who linked architecture and early photography; the hidden career of journalist Laure Labrouste; and the American Julia Morgan, the first woman certified as an architect in France.
Through these case studies, Beyond Building demonstrates how considering gender alongside architecture opens new perspectives on artistic innovation, imperialism, and cultural change in nineteenth-century France.

Sea Change
Representations of Transformation in the Mediterranean and Caribbean
Edited by Jessica R . Boll, Marilén Loyola, and Sharon Meilahn Bartlett
By examining cultural texts of a variety of genres, this volume brings to light notable transformations in the Mediterranean and Caribbean regions in the 20 th and 21st centuries
Sea Change investigates cultural texts that reflect the metamorphosis of the Mediterranean and Caribbean regions during the last two centuries. By placing these two seas side by side, this book challenges conventional distinctions between them and highlights their many shared traits and connections.
Modern languages scholars Jessica R. Boll, Marilén Loyola, and Sharon Meilahn Bartlett adopt a decentralized approach that moves beyond the influence of the United States and Europe. Through analyses of visual art, puppet shows, songs, graphic fiction, and television, this volume shifts the focus away from the canonical to foreground accessible and popular forms of expression.
By highlighting these places, perspectives, and productions, Sea Change underscores the reciprocal influence between the mainstream and the marginalized. It strives to dismantle (post)colonial hegemonies and demonstrate that those often relegated to the periphery can be agents – rather than mere subjects – of change.

Breaking Bread
The Filmic Foodscape of Postwar Italy
Niki Kiviat
Culinaria
Breaking Bread examines the uses of food in Italian cinema as depictions of the immense changes that Italy experienced after the Second World War
Italy is celebrated around the world for its cuisine: simple, rustic, and tasteful. Likewise, Italy’s cinema has continuously garnered great acclaim. Yet, the history behind their food – and the ways it has been treated in media – is decidedly more complicated.
In Breaking Bread , the worlds of anthropology, economics, gender studies, history, biochemistry, and cultural and literary studies collide on one plate. Food and film are Niki Kiviat’s guiding pillars as she explores great transformations in Italy’s consumption in the decades following the Second World War – years in which austerity morphed into radical gluttony. Historians argue that Italy’s eating habits changed relatively little in this period, but as these films posit, the transition from hunger to excess – and from starvation to supermarkets – is not only apparent but enormous. Through its analyses of mise en scène, employment of influential stars, and theories and retrospectives by key directors, Breaking Bread reveals both the progression and devolution of Italy’s filmic foodscape from 1954 to 1973.
Following the diegesis of Italy’s transition from hunger to abundance across these decades, as visceral needs morphed into other forms of desire, this book portrays how the anxieties surrounding food began as a light-hearted, comedic nostalgia, but later transitioned into fatalistic panic.
Earning her postgraduate degrees at Columbia University, Niki Kiviat currently serves on the World Language Faculty at Greenwich Country Day School, where she teaches Italian and Spanish.

Echoes of the Past Carinthian
Slovene Memories of the Second World War
Douglas Carlton McKnight
German and European Studies
Echoes of the Past offers a cross-media analysis of how the Carinthian Slovene community in Austria has commemorated the Second World War from the early postwar period into the present .
Echoes of the Past delves into the collective remembrance practices of the Carinthian Slovene community since the end of the Second World War, offering a nuanced analysis of museums, memorials, civic institutions, and literature created by Carinthian Slovene artists and activists.
Douglas Carlton McKnight provides an interdisciplinary investigation of how this ethnic minority remembers and commemorates the war. Challenging prevailing theories that emphasize the transnational flow of Second World War memories, McKnight demonstrates that Carinthian Slovene recollections remain deeply rooted in local geography and community experience. Through this innovative case study, Echoes of the Past not only broadens our understanding of European memory cultures but also highlights the enduring significance of place in shaping collective memory. By foregrounding the local dimensions of remembrance, this book offers a fresh perspective for scholars and readers interested in memory studies, minority studies, postwar European history, and literature. Echoes of the Past ultimately invites us to reconsider how stories of the past are preserved, experienced, and reinterpreted within specific communities, pointing to new directions for future research.
Douglas Carlton McKnight is an independent scholar whose research investigates the relationship between the history and memory of the Second World War.

Theogenius A Renaissance Dialogue on the Good Life
Leon Battista Alberti
Translated by Timothy Kircher
Lorenzo DaPonte Italian Library
This English translation of Leon Battista Alberti’s Renaissance dialogue offers timeless reflections on fortune, adversity, aging, and conversation .
Leon Battista Alberti (1404–1472) was a fifteenthcentury Italian Renaissance polymath, whose creative, humanist energies in art, literature, and science remain influential today. This first English translation of his short but rich dialogue Theogenius introduces readers to one of the greatest minds of the Italian Renaissance.
Written in the Italian vernacular and infused with wit, philosophical depth, and humanist values, this Renaissance dialogue explores a number of questions: how to face adversity and melancholy? How to understand the role of fortune in human life? How to grow old with grace? Ideal for classroom use and accessible to a broad readership, the book includes a detailed introduction on Alberti’s life and intellectual context that highlights his achievements across disciplines.
Distinguished historian Timothy Kircher’s extensive notes identify many of Alberti’s classical sources for the first time, revealing his engagement with ancient texts. Theogenius ’ playful, multi-voiced structure brought to life in Kircher’s unprecedented translation captures the imagination and reflects Alberti’s broader mission: to extend Renaissance humanism beyond elite circles and into wider cultural life.
Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472) was an Italian humanist and polymath.

Galicia as a Literary Idea
Jewish Eastern Europe in the Writings of Joseph Roth and Soma Morgenstern
Kata Gellen
German and European Studies
Galicia as a Literary Idea explores the relationship of Jewish tradition and modernity in literary works by Joseph Roth and Soma Morgenstern, two Germanlanguage writers from the former Habsburg province of Galicia
In the decades following the dissolution of Austria-Hungary, the former province of Galicia inspired the literary imagination of two German-language natives of this region, Joseph Roth and Soma Morgenstern. Galicia as a Literary Idea explores what their engagement with Galicia means for modern Jewish culture, history, and memory.
For Roth and Morgenstern, Galicia encapsulates the rich interplay between contemporary developments – including urbanization, secularization, embourgeoisement, political self-determination, and new technologies – and traditional Jewish life in Eastern European villages and shtetls, characterized by tight-knit families and communities, religious observance and ritual, Yiddish language and culture, and Hasidic belief systems. Despite the tensions between these elements, this book presents them as a complex network rather than a battle between old and new, east and west, or tradition and modernity. German and Jewish studies scholar, Kata Gellen, also traces the shifting attachments of Galician Jews to German, a language that symbolized emancipation, culture, empire, and, ultimately, disillusionment and persecution.
Through original readings of well-known and neglected works by Roth and Morgenstern, Gellen shows how the literary idea of Galicia is shaped by continuous struggle and emergent hope, whether as earthly possibility or redemptive promise. This book thereby uncovers the complex relationship between center and periphery in Jewish modernity and reanimates a dimension of modern Jewish literary history that has been obscured by the dark shadow of the Holocaust.

Curating Socialism
A Handbook of International Art Exhibitions 1947–1989
Edited by Sven Spieker with Polly Savage, Bojana Videkanić, and Christene d’Anca
Curating Socialism is the first handbook of its kind to examine international art exhibitions organized by socialist states across the globe, examining the mechanisms, relationships, and international agreements that enabled their organization, and shedding light on the highly diverse art practices they presented
Curating Socialism takes a rare look into the world of international art exhibitions organized by socialist states between 1947-1989.
The handbook examines the mechanisms, relationships, and international agreements that enabled the organization of officially sponsored and state-organized art exhibitions after the Second World War. Apart from viewing such exhibitions as instances of Cold War diplomacy and propaganda, this book proposes a shift in the way readers view the Cold War, away from an emphasis on separation and opposition to a focus on cultural exchange and international solidarity. Throughout the book, art historians and visual culture experts provide contextual information about the main institutional actors who were responsible for organizing these exhibitions, and the personal as well as institutional or diplomatic channels involved in their hosting and curation. Despite their many differences, the shows explored in this book gesture to the notion of a socialist curatorial aesthetic in the shadow of the Cold War.
Curating Socialism demonstrates how socialist exhibition culture developed, sometimes competing with, and sometimes cooperating with Western art worlds.

Censorship and the Irish Writer
Politics, Polemics, and the International Dialectic
Brad Kent
In recounting the fascinating history of how modern Irish writers politically, socially, and polemically organised against censorship, this book examines the ways in which freedom of expression has been defended, debated, and resisted in Britain and Ireland .
Censorship affected the careers of many Irish writers and transformed the trajectory of modern Irish literature. Although some authors were reluctant to defend themselves and their art, others strenuously fought against the curtailment of freedom of expression by lobbying politicians, writing polemics, and organising themselves into professional bodies and activist groups. Supported by archival research and informed by philosophical concerns, Censorship and the Irish Writer details almost a century of this history from an innovative perspective. Discussing writers such as AE, Lady Gregory, James Joyce, John McGahern, Edna O’Brien, Sean O’Casey, Sean O’Faolain, Bernard Shaw, and W.B. Yeats and writers’ organisations like the Irish Academy of Letters and Irish PEN, Brad Kent offers vital insight into the intersections of politics, art, and resistance.
While this book recounts spectacular controversies, it places such events in a long line of agitations for greater freedom of expression and in the context of personal lives and professional networks that straddled geopolitical borders. In so doing, Kent argues that censorship is a phenomenon that is driven by tensions not only between the competing rights of individuals and the wider community, but between the national and the international, the local and the global. The result is an original and compelling account of Irish literary history.
