Dope Advice

How to Talk to Your Teens about Cannabis

Gail Beck, MD

Dope Advice provides an unbiased review of the information every parent needs to know about the effect of marijuana on their teen’s development and mental health

With marijuana now legal in Canada and many US states, parents are increasingly seeking reliable and accurate information about its effects on their teens and young adults. Written by Gail Beck, MD, a leading child psychiatrist with extensive experience working with adolescents and their families, Dope Advice provides a pragmatic, sciencebased approach to navigating and understanding the complexities of legal marijuana use in the modern world. Grounded in the latest research, this guide helps parents grasp how marijuana affects the adolescent brain differently from the adult brain, highlighting both its psychological and physical impacts. The book draws on current research studies to provide a clear, evidence-based overview of the effects of marijuana, including its connection to existing mental health conditions and the potential for marijuanainduced psychosis. It also presents recent clinical information on key topics such as vaping, edibles, and addiction, empowering parents to engage in informed, constructive conversations with their children about marijuana use.

With extensive experience in child psychiatry, she has made significant contributions to supporting youth, families, and community agencies. A member of the Order of Ontario, she has received the Queen’s Golden and Diamond Jubilee Medals and the King Charles III Coronation Medal in recognition of her distinguished work. A renowned clinician, Dr. Beck is known for her ability to empower parents, helping them recognize their strengths and engage in meaningful conversations with their children.

From the Introduction:

“We need to have an objective dialogue about cannabis, a discussion that makes it possible to speak about the risks and benefits that accompany cannabis consumption . If we could have this discussion, we might be able to enjoy using cannabis — as we enjoy a glass of wine or chocolate cake or any of the other substances and foods we consume that are not really “good” for us, but that can enrich our lives ”

“My Mom rags at me over smoking weed but half the time she’s high herself . She tells me that, for her, cannabis is a ‘medicine’, but for me, it causes schizophrenia . ”

“You will also meet my son in this book He has given permission for me to tell his story . My son’s experience with cannabis and other drugs started when he wanted to manage symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, symptoms he developed because of being confined and sexually assaulted as a young boy . He is still living the aftermath of his experiences as well as his experience with our society’s legal response to drugs and drug use, often referred to as the War on Drugs ”

Mia asks, “Could that be true?”

“The whole thing is just bullshit,” Sam says “Adults dig these opinions out of some article they’ve read online or in some magazine that only ever expresses their point of view . The ones who want to use cannabis find articles that turn it into a miracle drug and the ones against cannabis make it sound like the potion Dr . Jekyll drank . At least my dad’s confused, which is probably accurate for the situation .

The Art of Being a Stranger

A Family Memoir

Karen Bermann

A vividly illustrated family memoir told through the voices of father and daughter, The Art of Being a Stranger explores the enduring impact of displacement and historical memory across generations in the aftermath of the Holocaust .

Karen Bermann grew up in the mad orbit of her father, Fritz, the rebellious child of a Viennese Orthodox Jewish family who fled Europe alone as an adolescent in the late 1930s. An irreverent, comic, rageful man with three names, who spoke three languages, lived on three continents, and always kept his papers in order, Fritz lived a life shaped by survival. In this memoir, told in alternating voices in brief, lyrical episodes, Bermann explores not only the mystery of her father but also the inheritance he passed on: intergenerational trauma, fragile familial bonds, and a fraught sense of belonging.

The Art of Being a Stranger is a darkly funny narrative told in poetry, prose, and mixed-media drawings. While her father taught her how to save herself, Bermann realized early on that what she truly needed was to be saved from him. Set against the backdrop of 1960s and 1970s New York City, The Art of Being a Stranger is a poignant comic-drama that offers an intimate, layered exploration of parents and children in the shadow of history.

Atomic Collective

Radioactive Life in Kazakhstan

Magdalena E Stawkowski

Atomic Collective presents an ethnographic study of a community living on the border of the Soviet-era nuclear test site in Kazakhstan

In the aftermath of the Soviet Union’s collapse, Kazakhstan inherited the remnants of one of the world’s most contaminated landscapes: the Semipalatinsk Test Site, known locally as the Polygon. Resigned to dispossession, residents have chosen to remain on the abandoned nuclear test site, despite the isolation and the radioactive environment, rather than face marginalization or the rigors of a neoliberal world. Atomic Collective examines this nuclear legacy through a decade-long ethnographic examination of the village of Koian, situated on the border of the test site. Facing residual radiation all around them and isolation, Koianers persist, reshaping their pastoral existence among the ruins and scientific debates surrounding genetic damage.

Drawing on first-hand accounts and archival research, this book explores the resilience and everyday survival strategies of a community left behind to fend for itself in the shadow of nuclear testing. It offers a unique perspective on life in a nuclear zone and poses fundamental questions about human resilience and the impact of historical events on a collective identity. Atomic Collective sheds light on a community overlooked in the larger Cold War histories of atomic testing.

Antisemitism

Hermann Bahr

Translated and with an afterword by James

J Conway

Originally published in 1894, Antisemitism features a series of interviews with prominent figures across Europe, revealing attitudes towards anti-Jewish hatred during a pivotal moment in its pre-Nazi development

In March 1893, Austrian writer Hermann Bahr embarked on one of the most ambitious journalistic projects of the nineteenth century: a six-month series of interviews with public figures across Europe. This collection captures a wide range of opinions on antisemitism amid a surge of anti-Jewish sentiment in Germany and France during a time marked by militant nationalism and pseudoscientific “race studies.”

Originally published in 1894 and now available in English, Antisemitism serves as both a vital historical study and a rich literary account of its era. Bahr’s interviewees include German socialist leader August Bebel, France’s first female journalist Séverine, and dramatist Henrik Ibsen. Considering issues like migration, assimilation, and exceptionalism, the respondents present a spectrum of views, from impassioned pluralism to overt bigotry, with some suggesting that ignoring antisemitism might make it disappear. Antisemitism reveals the ideological, political, and social factors that contributed to the Holocaust, while uncovering the enduring mechanisms of hatred and division that continue to target minorities. Featuring extensive notes, an informative afterword, and biographies of the interviewees, this volume explores the rise of modern antisemitism and provides valuable insights into conspiracy theories that persist to this day.

The Beauty of the Metropolis

August Endell

Translated and with an afterword by

James J . Conway

This volume presents an English translation of August Endell’s The Beauty of the Metropolis, an inspiring essay that offers profound insight into the aesthetic richness of Berlin and the transformative power of cities in general

Originally published in 1908, The Beauty of the Metropolis is a homage to urban life, celebrating cities with a particular focus on Berlin. In this lyrical essay, German architect and theorist August Endell invites readers to perceive familiar environments in a new light, advocating for an emotional, unmediated response to the visible world inspired by Lipps’s theory of Einfühlung. He advocates seizing aesthetic ownership of urban surroundings, prefiguring our hypervisual culture. In his rhapsodic observations, Endell captures gaslight mingling with the last rays of sunshine, pedestrians moving in a ballet of unheard rhythms, and mist and rain casting fresh enchantment over familiar streets.

This new translation also features a selection of articles in which Endell introduces readers to aesthetic themes. He describes the greening of a tree with the urgency of true crime and anticipates the Bauhaus movement years before it becomes a reality. Reaching back to the close of the nineteenth century, these texts paradoxically serve as a rousing hymn to the present. With extensive notes and an afterword, this edition of The Beauty of the Metropolis offers a spirited inquiry into belonging and an engagement with culture that rejects unreflective nationalist pathos.

Berlin’s Third Sex

Magnus Hirschfeld

Translated and with an afterword by

James J Conway

Berlin’s Third Sex reveals a vibrant subculture of sexual minorities in early twentieth-century Berlin, documenting same-sex attraction and gender non-conformity as sources of fulfilment and belonging amid oppression

In 1904, Berlin did not exactly look like a haven of tolerance. Sex between consenting males and gender non-conformity were illegal, and other forms of sexual expression faced oppressive societal taboos. But despite fear, secrecy, and blackmail, Germany’s imperial capital nurtured a vibrant and diverse queer subculture.

In Berlin’s Third Sex , German sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld offers a sympathetic glimpse into this queer life, depicting spaces such as gyms, bars, cafés, aristocratic drawing rooms, and tenement apartments that drew the “third sex” — exiles from contemporary gender and sexual norms. Intimate, striking, and surprisingly sentimental, Hirschfeld’s account takes us from drag king cavaliers at all-night lesbian balls to “uranian” men darning socks for their soldier sweethearts, and from cigarsmoking trans men to sex workers in moonlit parks. Hirschfeld reveals vast networks of clandestine connections: coded vernacular, camp aliases inspired by pop culture, encrypted classified ads, and even a pre-Grindr telegraphic service for summoning temporary companions.

Featuring extensive notes, an informative afterword, and an earlier pamphlet on same-sex attraction by Hirschfeld, this volume is of crucial importance for students, scholars, and readers interested in queer history.

The Emma LaRocque Reader

On Being Human

Edited by Elaine Coburn

Foreword by Armand Ruffo

Afterword by Emma LaRocque

This collection brings together the works of Métis scholar Emma LaRocque, offering a half-century of her poetry and prose, and shedding new light on Canada, colonialism, and Indigenous resistance

Emma LaRocque was born in 1949 in Lac La Biche into a Creespeaking Métis family. She grew up in a one-room, kerosene-lit log cabin built by her father. At the age of nine, she fought her parents to attend school, where she encountered English and the colonizer’s harmful stereotypes of Indigenous peoples. Confronting the contradictions of colonialism sparked her journey as a writer and scholar, as she sought to understand the dissonance between her identity and the world around her.

The Emma LaRocque Reader is a comprehensive collection of her most significant writings, poetry and prose, offering an intimate window into the mind of one of Canada’s foremost Indigenous scholars. Through her work, LaRocque provides profound insights into the intersections of colonialism, sexism, and racism in Canada, while also critically celebrating the beauty of her community and culture. In the afterword, she reflects on fifty years of challenging the colonial enterprise. A vital contribution to postcolonial literature, The Emma LaRocque Reader intertwines the personal and the political to explore what it means to be human, offering a powerful testament to Indigenous resistance, resilience, and vision.

Last Impressions

Jane Austen’s Endings

Theresa M Kenney

Last Impressions critically examines the conclusions of Jane Austen’s novels, uncovering intricate patterns and interconnections among the final chapters that provoke and challenge readers’ interpretations of the overarching narratives .

Jane Austen’s conclusions have often perplexed her readers, who at times perceive her novels’ endings as hasty or overly simplistic. However, a closer examination reveals that her final chapters are meticulously crafted, serving as critical touchstones that redefine the entire narrative. Last Impressions offers an in-depth analysis of the literary strategies Austen employs to conclude her novels. This work explores recurring techniques, such as securing parental consent, the absence of dramatized scenes, and the use of rhetorical devices like Socratic irony and metalepsis, uncovering meaningful patterns that highlight Austen’s artistry. By illuminating the intentionality behind the endings of all six of Austen’s major novels, as well as her epistolary novella Lady Susan , this book provides valuable insights into her narrative architecture. In a literary landscape that has frequently dismissed Austen’s conclusions, Last Impressions asserts that her final chapters demand critical engagement, challenging readers to reconsider their interpretations and appreciate her enduring complexity.

Reframed A Self-Reg Revolution,

Revised Edition

Stuart Shanker

Reframed revolutionizes how we think about selfregulation, offering practical tools to help individuals grow and contribute to building a more fair and compassionate society

Stuart Shanker’s Reframed presents a comprehensive exploration of self-regulation, grounded in cutting-edge neuroscience, to help individuals thrive and society flourish. Aimed at parents, educators, and all adults invested in individual well-being, this revised and expanded edition is presented in a readerfriendly format, with engaging vignettes that appeal to a wider audience.

Employing the same proven techniques from his earlier volumes, Calm, Alert, and Learning and Self-Reg, Shanker delves into the science and principles behind the Shanker Self-Reg method, emphasizing that understanding our own brains is the key to understanding one another and rethinking black-andwhite labels such as “bad,” “lazy,” and “stupid.” He argues that everyone has the capacity to self-regulate in ways that foster growth and that life trajectories can shift at any point with the right tools. For Shanker, the foundation of a just and free society begins with how we understand and nurture ourselves as well as our children.

In an era marked by social challenges, Reframed not only illuminates the complexities of the modern world but also inspires hope for a better future. This essential work equips readers with the knowledge and tools to help build a more compassionate society, one mind at a time.

The Notwithstanding Clause in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

Caitlin Salvino

Understanding Canada

This book offers a thorough foundation for understanding Canada’s controversial notwithstanding clause, exploring its history, design, political uses, and the responses it has elicited from the judiciary and academia .

Canada’s notwithstanding clause is a constitutional provision, under section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, that allows provincial, territorial, and federal legislatures to temporarily override certain Charter rights for up to five years.

The Notwithstanding Clause in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms examines the notwithstanding clause at a pivotal moment in Canadian history, highlighting how it is increasingly used by governments to suspend constitutional rights. In response, individuals and advocacy groups have increasingly turned to the courts, challenging its application and seeking judicial intervention to limit its use under the Charter. With the Supreme Court of Canada poised to rule on the notwithstanding clause for the first time since 1988, this issue is set to remain a focal point of legal and political debate.

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the clause’s history, design, political uses, and the judicial and academic responses. It provides the foundational context of section 33, offering readers an in-depth understanding of this uniquely Canadian provision, which has sparked controversy for over four decades.

Caitlin Salvino is a legal researcher who focuses on constitutional, international, and criminal law and has recently completed an MPhil and DPhil in law, focusing on the notwithstanding clause, at the University of Oxford, where she studied as a Rhodes Scholar.

La tarification du carbone au Canada et au-delà des frontières

Alexis Terriault

Understanding Canada

This book explores carbon pricing in Canada, examining the federal approach, the concept of global carbon pricing, and why its global expansion is essential for effectiveness

This book seeks to demystify carbon pricing in Canada while exploring its potential for global expansion. Written in French, La tarification du carbone au Canada et au-delà des frontières (Carbon pricing in Canada and beyond) offers a comprehensive analysis of the literature surrounding various aspects of carbon pricing.

Key topics include the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on global warming, the advantages and disadvantages of carbon pricing as a policy tool for reducing emissions, the history and fundamental principles of Canada’s panCanadian carbon pricing approach, the operation of the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act, and the constitutional challenges it faces. The book also examines the limitations of carbon pricing in effectively reducing global emissions and proposes potential solutions. By emphasizing the need for international coordination, it argues that the global expansion of carbon pricing is essential for achieving significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

Alexis Terriault is a former researcher of carbon pricing as a solution to global greenhouse gas emissions and holds a master of science degree in environment and sustainability from the University of Montreal.

The Canadian People How We Became Who We Are

Barry Lipson

A critical investigation into the roots of Canadian heritage, The Canadian People seeks to unearth the entities, circumstances, and laws that ushered in Canada’s modern multicultural identity

One hundred years after its birth, Canada still resembled an overly protected child swathed in the arms of its British parent. Years after the end of the Second World War, Canada still appeared to the world as a British colony — a Union Jack flag-waving bastion of Protestantism. In the 1930s, Toronto was essentially a “British” city with over 80 percent of its population being of British descent.

Fifty years later, Canada is now seen as one of the most ethnically diverse cosmopolitan nations in the world. Since this seemed unlikely to have happened just by chance, author Barry Lipson sought to identity the causes that created changes in Canada and in its system of social justice. Invariably it was a person, an event, or a court decision that altered the course of Canadian history.

In each of the twenty-two chapters in The Canadian People: How We Became Who We Are, Lipson traces how Canadian courts and legislatures have altered Canadian history. But, not surprisingly, there was always someone or something that moved courts and politicians to act. Many of the causes were unexpected, frightening, and sometimes tragic; but all created an effect that became the legacy that one generation handed to the next.

Barry Lipson retired from a rewarding practice of law in 2020 to embark on the research that the writing of this book entailed. His belief — that Canada distinguished itself from other nations by developing a “national conscience” — is one that Canadians can proudly share as they read his love letter to his country.

The Art of the Corporate Deal, Fourth Edition

Barry Lipson

The fourth edition of The Art of the Corporate Deal expands upon well-established wisdom and is elevated by key updates outlining ongoing changes and progress in the legal field

When The Art of the Corporate Deal was written in 1999, the KPMG head of mergers and acquisitions, who had been given an advanced copy, referred to the book as “a single source reference to corporate and business-related matters that would be a welcome addition to the library of lawyers, accountants, and other professionals engaged in the small and middlecompany sector of corporate mergers and business acquisitions.” Each subsequent edition was updated and expanded and this, the fourth edition, is current as of the date of writing. The introductory chapter, new to this edition, is an in-depth primer on the subject of determining the present market value of capital or debt securities based upon the capitalization of the expected cash flow. Also included in this new edition is an in-depth treatment of the so-called “hybrid sale of shares/acquisition of assets agreement” which bridges the competing interests of the vendor and the purchaser by giving to each the tax benefits that each is seeking.

As a practising lawyer for over sixty years, Barry Lipson has represented companies of varying sizes in corporate, trust, and real estate matters and has acted as the lead lawyer on many of Canada’s major transactions. He is the author of The Art of the Real Estate Deal , The Art of Drafting the Commercial Contract , and the editor of The Controlling Mind — Exercising Legal Control

Bankruptcy and Insolvency Law, Third Edition

Roderick J . Wood

Essentials of Canadian Law

This book provides a comprehensive overview of Canadian bankruptcy and insolvency law, exploring its foundational principles, including commercial restructuring, receivership, and consumer proposals

The scope of insolvency law is vast, impacting nearly every area of private law. Once insolvency proceedings are initiated, rights established in other legal fields can no longer be enforced through ordinary civil processes but must be addressed through specialized insolvency proceedings, often altering the nature of those rights. From the Canadian blood supply system and national airlines to the recovery of victims of mass torts, Bankruptcy and Insolvency Law illustrates how insolvency law influences the fate of individuals, businesses, and entire communities.

The third edition offers an in-depth examination of the full spectrum of Canadian bankruptcy and insolvency systems, exploring their structure, objectives, and guiding principles. This edition provides an analysis of the most recent developments in insolvency law such as the new duty of good faith, reverse vesting orders, litigation funding, and the judicial power to make orders in national receivership proceedings. It also introduces a new chapter on the future of Canadian insolvency law, highlighting the challenges in the current system and the need for reform. Bankruptcy and Insolvency Law demonstrates how insolvency law shapes not only legal outcomes but also the very foundation of our economic and social systems.

Legal Ethics and the Attorney General

A Canadian Analysis

Andrew Flavelle Martin

This book examines the position of the Attorney General in Canada, emphasizing the ethical standards they must uphold as lawyers and the importance of professional accountability in maintaining the rule of law

In Canada, the Attorney General holds a complex and unique role within the federal, provincial, and territorial governments. Despite this key position, there is relatively little knowledge and understanding of the role and professional responsibilities of the Attorney General among the public, the media, policymakers, and politicians — including at least some Attorney Generals themselves. Legal Ethics and the Attorney General adopts a doctrinal approach to examine and explain how legal ethics, and particularly the law of lawyering, applies to the Attorney General.

The book illustrates that, while the role of the Attorney General is unique, the individual occupying this position practises law and should be held to the same standards as any other lawyer. It addresses common misconceptions: that the Attorney General is not truly a lawyer, that actions deemed wrongful for other lawyers may not be considered wrongful for the Attorney General, or that the accountability measures appropriate for lawyers do not apply to the Attorney General.

Ultimately, Legal Ethics and the Attorney General reveals the importance of the accountability of the Attorney General, especially to the provincial and territorial law societies that serve as regulators of the legal profession. This accountability is essential not only for upholding the rule of law but also for enabling these societies to fulfil their statutory mandates to regulate the legal profession in the public interest.

The Climate Crisis

Edited by Jutta Brunnée, Brenda Cossman, Andrew Green, and Benjamin Alarie

This book considers how climate change is reshaping various areas of law, offering cross-disciplinary insights into governance, justice, and policy responses to the urgent legal challenges posed by the climate crisis

Law in a Changing World explores how climate change is reshaping the law, drawing on contributions from legal scholars across diverse fields. The book examines how climate change impacts areas such as governance, justice, housing, and disability law. Rather than focusing on climate law alone, the chapters explore how climate change is challenging foundational legal concepts and demanding adaptations across various sectors.

The authors consider the roles of international, Indigenous, and domestic legal systems in addressing climate-related issues. Topics include climate justice for vulnerable populations, the role of government in crisis management, and the intersection of law with emerging challenges like housing and disability rights. Law in a Changing World provides a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary examination of how legal frameworks can respond to climate-related emergencies and injustices, offering fresh perspectives on the role of law in a warming world. It is an essential read for those interested in the intersection of law, policy, and climate change.

Statecraft

Canadian Prime Ministers and Their Cabinets

Edited by Stephen Azzi and Patrice Dutil

IPAC Series in Public Management and Governance

This collection of innovative essays explores the politics of cabinet government in Canada through the lens of statecraft, revealing how Canadian prime ministers have exercised their leadership since 1867

Statecraft delves into the intricate relationships between Canadian prime ministers and their cabinets since Confederation. Through twenty critical essays, leading scholars systematically analyse the challenges and decisions faced by individual prime ministers from Sir John A. Macdonald to Justin Trudeau. The essays explore essential questions: What influenced cabinet appointments? How and why were ministers shuffled or dismissed? How did the drive for re-election shape the leadership styles employed by prime ministers?

At its core, the book examines statecraft — the art of decisive leadership in the face of shifting social, economic, and cultural realities. Statecraft involves the balancing act of maintaining government cohesion, prioritizing urgent issues, and navigating the relentless pursuit of political survival. Even the most seasoned leaders can master statecraft one day and falter the next.

Drawing on extensive research, Statecraft bridges history and political science, offering fresh perspectives on the strategies, decisions, and leadership techniques that have defined twenty prime ministers. This comprehensive volume sheds light on the evolving art of governance and its enduring challenges.

Rights and Parliamentary Systems in Canada and Beyond

Edited by Emmett Macfarlane

This interdisciplinary collection, this book examines institutional relationships in relation to rights and the actors, laws, and constitutional structures that serve to protect them

Rights and Parliamentary Systems in Canada and Beyond brings together political scientists and legal scholars to explore rights and their limitations, along with the governmental and legislative processes affecting them, within Canada’s parliamentary system. It also examines how these elements shape broader institutional relationships under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and in comparative perspective.

This interdisciplinary volume offers valuable, in-depth analyses of timely issues, cases, and controversies involving rights and institutional dynamics. The book employs an array of methods, including legal analysis, qualitative case studies, content analysis, legal theory, research interviews, and policy analysis.

With a forward-looking perspective, Rights and Parliamentary Systems in Canada and Beyond investigates how rightsbased processes influence specific policies and offers new insights into the framing of rights, including administrative law and Aboriginal treaty rights during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also explores how aspects of parliamentary democracy affect governments, legislators, and the public. The book ultimately reveals how the institutional relationships at stake operate to protect — or fail to protect — rights in relation to government policy objectives.

Local Campaign Behaviour in Canadian Elections

The Contours of Centralization

Jacob Robbins-Kanter

Drawing on interviews, observational research, and primary source documents, this book examines the dynamics of cooperation, conflict, and divergence between local campaigns and central party headquarters in Canadian elections .

Local Campaign Behaviour in Canadian Elections investigates the relationship between the local and national components of Canadian political parties. Jacob Robbins-Kanter emphasizes the significance of local campaigns — often overlooked by scholars, voters, and the media — and examines when and why these campaigns deviate from national directives during federal elections.

Grounded in original data, the book explores the intricate dynamics between local campaigns and central party headquarters during Canadian elections, highlighting their cooperation, clashes, and divergences. It reveals the prevalence of undisciplined local campaign behaviour and the underestimated agency of local actors. The book argues that local campaigns retain meaningful agency to make critical decisions, influence election outcomes, and articulate local interests.

Drawing on nearly 100 interviews, primary source documents, and data collected as an embedded researcher during the 2019 federal election, Robbins-Kanter delves into the practice of undisciplined local campaign behaviour, which often challenges or diverges from central party directives. Local Campaign Behaviour in Canadian Elections presents a nuanced portrayal of local actors, positioning them as neither entirely autonomous nor merely instruments of a central party apparatus.

Targeted Citizenship, Advocacy, and Gun Control in Canada

Noah S . Schwartz

Targeted explores Canadian gun culture and the growing pro-gun movement that represents it

Guns may be as American as apple pie, but what does it mean to own a gun north of the 49th parallel? While policy battles over gun control are often associated with American politics, debates about gun control are raging in Canada, prompting Canadian gun owners to transition from hobbyists to advocates. In Targeted, political scientist Noah S. Schwartz provides an insider’s perspective on gun culture in Canada, unpacking the differences between Canadian and American gun activism. He explores how Canadians interpret the rising pro-gun movement in the country, its self-perception, its goals, and the strategies and funding sources that sustain it.

Arguing that a distinct pro-gun culture is emerging in Canada, Targeted highlights how the demands of the movement are closely linked to significant divisions in Canadian politics, such as the rural-urban divide and western alienation. Rather than viewing gun ownership as an unassailable constitutional right, the book reveals how Canadian gun owners frame their demands as a call for fair treatment from their leaders.

The Candidacy Calculation

Challenges to Running for Elected Office in Canada

Angelia Wagner

The Candidacy Calculation examines potential barriers to running for elected office in Canada at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels .

The Candidacy Calculation examines how perceptions of barriers to candidacy in Canada differ by social, economic, and political backgrounds. Through semi-structured interviews with 101 individuals from diverse social backgrounds, geographical locations, and political ideologies, this book uncovers both new and previously overlooked challenges such as online harassment and social media scandals, while also offering a deeper understanding of traditional barriers like financial constraints, work-life balance, employment issues, partisanship, and family responsibilities. The findings demonstrate that individual considerations regarding candidacy are much more complex than previously thought.

Drawing on an intersectional approach, the book analyses how factors such as gender, race/ethnicity, sexuality, age, and other social attributes intersect to create unique barriers to political careers, thereby presenting a nuanced view of the candidate emergence process in Canada. By rigorously testing the role of political ambition in fostering diversity in political representation, The Candidacy Calculation compares the experiences of women and men, various social groups, and individuals who have become candidates with those who have not. The book aims to assist policymakers and activists in identifying solutions to overcome barriers and enhance opportunities for increasing candidacy among under-represented groups in politics.

The Politics of Higher Education in Minority Nations

Insights from Quebec

Hannah Moscovitz

This book explores the long-standing intersection of higher education policy and nationalism in Quebec, tracing the evolution of this relationship from the 1960s to the present .

The Politics of Higher Education in Minority Nations critically examines the connection between higher education policy and nationalism in Quebec, tracing its trajectory from the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s to 2022. Using the Quiet Revolution as a starting point, the book highlights specific policy arenas and events where nationalism and higher education have intersected over time, illustrating how this policy sphere has come to symbolize Quebec’s distinctiveness and serve as a tool for cultivating its national identity.

The book explores how nationalism continues to shape and influence higher education policy decisions, emphasizing its role as a key factor in the articulation, negotiation, and implementation of these policies. By providing new insights into these connections through the lens of minority nationalism and policy processes below the level of national governments, The Politics of Higher Education in Minority Nations enhances our understanding of minority nations and their unique modes of mobilization in today’s globalized world.

Migrant Work by Another Name

Differential Inclusion and Precarity in Canada’s International Mobility Program

Leah F Vosko

This book examines the emergence and growth of Canada’s International Mobility Program in relation to its longstanding Temporary Foreign Worker Program, revealing how several of its foremost streams foster precarity through differential inclusion

Migrant Work by Another Name explores the complexities of Canada’s evolving international migration and employment policy landscape. It critically examines the shift towards “mobility” programs under the recently inaugurated International Mobility Program (IMP). This shift occurs alongside the contraction of certain streams within Canada’s long-standing Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP). The book investigates the implications of policy changes, influenced at once by public outcry over migrant worker exploitation and persistent demands for labour in the face of qualitative labour shortages in high-income countries like Canada. Grounded in a decolonial feminist political economy approach, Leah F. Vosko employs a mixed methods analysis to contrast the narrative of “mobility” with the persistent realities of precarity among transnational workers.

The book features in-depth case studies of the three largest IMP subprograms — Working Holiday, Post-Graduation, and Spousal Work Permit programs — revealing how these initiatives, despite being touted as promoting mobility, provide for temporary migrant work by another name and perpetuate distinct forms of precarity. This critical perspective challenges the notion of progress in contemporary migration policies, shedding light on the ongoing challenges faced by transnational workers in Canada.

Understanding Law for the Social Sciences

Understanding Law for the Social Sciences

Dennis Baker and Byron Sheldrick

This book equips students with a foundational understanding of Canadian legal doctrines, enhancing their ability to engage with legal subjects through clear explanations of key concepts, principles, and terms

Understanding Law for the Social Sciences provides students with essential tools to study Canadian law from various disciplinary perspectives. It introduces key legal principles and concepts, ensuring that social science students build a strong foundation to engage confidently with legal topics.

The book focuses on legal doctrines, helping students understand how these doctrines are applied by lawyers, judges, and legal scholars. The initial chapters establish the sources of law, legal reasoning, and statutory interpretation. Subsequent chapters introduce substantive areas of law, including constitutional law, criminal law, administrative law, contract law, tort law, property law, labour law, and environmental law. For each of these areas, the text not only outlines core concepts and terminology but also illustrates how legal controversies intersect with public debates, state authority, self-governance, and public policy.

Designed as an introduction to law and legal concepts, Understanding Law for the Social Sciences prepares undergraduate students to engage with legal matters that they might further examine in law school or explore in social science graduate study. While the book is especially beneficial for political science students due to its focus on public policy, its broad scope offers valuable insights for anyone interested in understanding the role of law in society.

Federalism

Performance, Effectiveness, and Legitimacy, Fifth Edition

Edited by Herman Bakvis and Grace Skogstad

The fifth edition of Canadian Federalism provides a reader-friendly and up-to-date account of how Canada’s federal institutions and intergovernmental relations address the challenges facing the federation . Canadian Federalism stands as the leading text on federal institutions and processes, analyzing the performance, effectiveness, and legitimacy of the federation’s core components. The fifth edition features contributions from twenty experts, including six new contributors, who explore the socio-economic foundations, institutions, and intergovernmental relations that shape Canadian federalism.

The book is organized into three parts: it examines Canada as a case of comparative federalism; explores key social, economic, and environmental policy areas; and reimagines the federation by addressing Indigenous multi-level governance and the role of municipalities. By employing a common evaluative framework, this volume ensures consistency and analytical rigour, making it accessible to both students and scholars. The authors provide diverse assessments of Canadian federal institutions, highlighting different models of federalism under the Justin Trudeau government, such as collaborative federalism in certain areas and unilateralism in others.

In a time of political polarization and calls for reform, Canadian Federalism is essential reading for understanding the complexities of Canada’s governance and the urgent need for institutional improvements.

Canadian Human Rights Champions

The Arduous Journey

Peter Andre Globensky and Beverly Anne Sabourin

This book highlights the remarkable stories of Canadian heroes — both celebrated and unsung — whose passion, dedication, and commitment have shaped the nation’s history and secured the human rights all Canadians now depend on .

Canadian Human Rights Champions recounts the inspiring stories of a select group of advocates who have fought to secure civil, social, and political rights for all Canadians. The book profiles thirty-eight remarkable individuals, delving into their motivations, the challenges they overcame, and the opportunities they seized, while underscoring the crucial importance of defending human rights. It reveals how these champions devoted themselves to an often arduous and challenging struggle, making lasting contributions to building a more just and equitable society in Canada.

Adopting a comprehensive approach, the book focuses on a “basket of rights” drawn from the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, highlighting fundamental freedoms such as the right to association, expression, and equality protections against discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, and disability. It also explores the existing and evolving rights of Indigenous peoples in the context of treaties and international agreements, the Canadian Constitution, reconciliation, as well as the crucial emerging right to a clean environment.

In addition to honouring Canadian heroes, the anthology also highlights those who have championed human rights on the international stage. Canadian Human Rights Champions celebrates the next generation of young activists who are leaving their mark in shaping our collective future and providing hope in these challenging times.

The Life of an Enslaved African in the Ottoman Empire and Iran

The Autobiography of Mahboob Qirvanian

Mahboob Quirvanian

Translated, Edited with an Introduction by Behnaz A . Mirzai

New Landscapes in Middle East Studies

This book provides a translation of a compelling autobiography that chronicles the life of Mahboob Qirvanian, from childhood and enslavement in North Africa and the Ottoman Empire to his eventual liberation in Iran

The Life of an Enslaved African in the Ottoman Empire and Iran is a poignant and compelling account of one man’s journey through struggle, resilience, and unimaginable suffering. In the early twentieth century, Mahboob Qirvanian recorded his personal experiences of forced migration and enslavement as he navigated his path from captivity in Africa to full citizenship and a reconstructed identity in Iran. Written in Persian and Arabic, this remarkable autobiography serves as a powerful testament to Mahboob’s endurance, suffering, and ultimate transformation. Through insightful analysis, Behnaz A. Mirzai places Mahboob’s narrative — the only known account by a former African slave in Iran — within the context of the political upheavals of the Constitutional Revolution in Iran and the Tanzimat reforms of the Ottoman Empire. This book not only sheds light on Mahboob’s personal story and the historical injustices of slavery but also engages with broader themes of displacement, identity, and social justice. In doing so, it invites readers to reflect on the enduring legacies of racial inequality and the ongoing struggles for freedom and dignity in the modern world.

Behnaz A. Mirzai is a professor of Middle Eastern history at Brock University and senior guest researcher at Bonn Center for Dependency and Slavery Studies at University of Bonn.

Mahboob Qirvanian, born circa 1894 in Tunisia, was enslaved and trafficked from North Africa to Iran, where he lived for the majority of his life and was emancipated. He is the author of the only known African slave narrative from that country.

Bound by Exclusion and Violence

A History of Belarusian Armed Struggle in the Twentieth Century

Aleksandra Pomiecko

This book traces Belarusian nationalists from the First World War to the Cold War, revealing their covert activities and alliances while positioning Belarus as a key hub of ideological and political conflict that shaped the twentieth century .

Initially perceived as a peripheral region, Belarus has played a crucial role in shaping historical narratives. From the First World War to the Cold War, the activities of Belarusian nationalists were central to the country’s involvement in broader geopolitical struggles. Bound by Exclusion and Violence uses the lives of these nationalists as a lens to explore their motivations and collaborations with various states and intelligence agencies, focusing on political activism, armed resistance, and covert espionage operations.

Drawing from archival research in seven countries that shed light on local, regional, and global dynamics, Aleksandra Pomiecko reveals Belarus’s active role in key ideological, military, and political conflicts. The book offers a fresh perspective on the country’s historical significance and its impact on major global events of the twentieth century. In today’s era of heightened geopolitical awareness, Bound by Exclusion and Violence highlights Belarus’s complex history and its continued relevance in contemporary discussions of political agency and international power dynamics.

The Hour of Revenge

Holocaust Survivors and Their Search for Revenge and Retribution

Katarzyna Person

The Hour of Revenge explores how the pursuit of retribution and physical vengeance shaped the emotional landscape of Holocaust survivors and others in the aftermath of the Second World War .

In the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, the emotional landscape of post-war Europe was profoundly shaped by the intertwined notions of retribution and physical revenge, particularly for Holocaust survivors. While much scholarly attention has focused on extra-legal purges in post-war Europe, the experiences of individual Polish Jews have largely been overlooked.

The Hour of Revenge addresses this critical gap, exploring the particular journey of Polish Jews as they navigated the complexities of their post-conflict realities. Katarzyna Person examines how these individuals not only confronted their traumatic pasts but also actively contributed to the reconstruction of their communities.

Crossing the traditional historiographical divide between “West” and “East,” Person illustrates how Polish Jews moved between these zones before the Iron Curtain descended, how they reconciled memories of the war and their former lives, and how they built emotional communities in the face of loss. The book contributes to a more integrative, multi-ethnic history of post-war Poland and to the global history of societal reconstruction in the wake of conflict. In an era of mass migration, The Hour of Revenge sheds light on connections to pre-war homelands as expressions of integration and exclusion.

Katarzyna Person is a historian of the Holocaust and the Director of the Warsaw Ghetto Museum.

The Kopeck Press

Popular Journalism in Revolutionary Russia, 1908–1918

Felix Cowan

This book explores the rich history of Russia’s penny press, highlighting the dynamic relationship between readers and journalists in shaping a democratic political culture leading up to the 1917 Revolution

The Imperial Russian penny press was a vast network of newspapers sold for a single kopeck per issue. Emerging in cities and towns across the empire between the 1905 Revolution and the onset of the First World War, these sensational tabloids quickly became the Russian Empire’s most popular periodical genre. They appealed to a mass audience of poor and less-literate readers with their low prices and accessible language.

The Kopeck Press presents a comprehensive study of this phenomenon, examining its role both as a media genre and its significance as a vital forum for lower class political culture. Drawing on over seventy kopeck newspapers from thirty locations, Felix Cowan analyses these publications as a dialogic genre, emphasizing the interaction between journalists and readers. The book highlights how sensationalism was strategically used to advance the political goals of progressive journalists, editors, and publishers. As a genre of political media, the kopeck press revealed a moderate reformist current in Russian politics, aimed at democratizing the empire and empowering marginalized groups, significantly contributing to the political and cultural foundations of the Russian Revolution. The Kopeck Press sheds light on the crucial role of popular media in shaping public discourse and mobilizing political change in early twentieth-century Russia.

On the Waves of Destiny

The Selected Writings of Lili Berger

Edited by Frieda Johles Forman, Sam Blatt, Vivian Felsen, and Judy Nisenholt

On the Waves of Destiny is a powerful collection of essays and works of fiction that introduces Englishspeaking readers to Lili Berger, one of the most prolific and insightful Yiddish women writers of the twentieth century .

Lili Berger wrote about the most traumatic and transformative developments of the twentieth century to which she herself was an eyewitness. On the Waves of Destiny presents an anthology that reflects her early life in interwar Poland during the rise of Hitler, her Second World War activities in occupied Paris where she was active in the Communist resistance, and her sojourn in Communist Poland from 1949 to 1968.

The majority of her essays are pen portraits, often based on her own personal recollections, in which she made clear that she considered it her duty to memorialize the tens of thousands of Polish Jewish writers and artists who were murdered during the Holocaust, such as author and painter Bruno Schulz, historian Emanuel Ringelblum, and artist Gela Seksztajn, as well as to preserve their work. Even her short stories are based on actual experiences, not only her own but also those of people around her.

In her stories, her essays, and her allegorical fables, she explored issues such as equality for women, the moral responsibility of a writer, the question of Jewish identity, and the creative process in general. The translations in On the Waves of Destiny ensure that Lili Berger’s legacy will continue to resonate with future generations of readers.

Frieda Johles Forman was an author, translator, pioneer of feminist Jewish studies, who founded the Women’s Educational Resource Centre at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto, and the award-winning editor of Found Treasures: Stories by Yiddish Women Writers.

Stalin’s Great Game War

and Neutrality, 1939–1941

Michael Jabara Carley

Based on extensive archival research, Stalin’s Great Game offers a fresh analysis of Soviet foreign policy and intelligence during the early years of the Second World War .

The period from September 1939 to late 1941 was crucial for Soviet foreign policy and coincided with the early stages of the Second World War, including the Great Patriotic War. In Stalin’s Great Game, Michael Jabara Carley unpacks the complexities of Soviet diplomacy during this time, addressing key issues such as the Soviet-Finnish Winter War, Soviet views on the fall of France and the Battle of Britain, efforts to remain neutral in Europe, Soviet relations with both Britain and Nazi Germany, and the formation of the Grand Alliance against the Axis powers.

Drawing on extensive research from multilingual archives in France, Britain, the United States, and the USSR, Carley offers a comprehensive narrative that explores Soviet intelligence activities, especially of the “Cambridge Five” spy ring and Nazi Germany’s preparations for Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union. This book also re-evaluates historiographical debates on Stalin’s interpretation of Soviet intelligence and Hitler’s intentions towards the USSR. The third volume in Carley’s trilogy on the origins and early conduct of the Second World War, Stalin’s Great Game provides a fresh re-examination of key events and interpretations by both Western and Soviet historians, introducing new ideas and perspectives on this critical period.

Volume III: 1843–1848

Translated by Ingrid I . Epp

by Harvey L . Dyck, Ingrid I . Epp, and John R . Staples

Tsarist and Soviet Mennonite Studies

This book offers a unique, in-depth look at the leadership and reforms of Johann Cornies, revealing the complex relationships between Mennonites, the Russian state, and nineteenthcentury Ukraine

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Russian Empire opened the grasslands of southern Ukraine to agricultural settlement. Transformation on the Southern Ukrainian Steppe documents the Tsarist Mennonite experience through the papers of Johann Cornies (1789–1848), an ambitious and energetic leader of the Mennonite colony of Molochnaia.

The third and final volume of Cornies’s papers, this book examines the later years of his leadership among the Mennonite settlers in southern Ukraine. Covering the period from 1843 to 1848, it reveals Cornies’s efforts to navigate the complex relationships between the Mennonites, the Russian state, and neighbouring communities. Through his correspondence, it offers a unique glimpse into the workings of the colonial state and the tensions between religious tradition and secular ambition within the Mennonite community.

Edited by John Borrows, Dawn Hoogeveen, Max Ritts, and Susan Smitten

This collection celebrates emerging scholars in Indigenous studies, featuring student essays that explore Indigenous justice, ethics, and environmental justice, while highlighting a decade of collaboration with RAVEN, a legal defence organization

Named after the Respecting Aboriginal Values and Environmental Needs (RAVEN) nonprofit organization, The RAVEN Essays is an anthology that celebrates a decade of prize-winning student essays. Since 2012, RAVEN has awarded an annual essay prize to honour students who champion the vital importance of Indigenous rights and self-determination, both in Canada and globally. The essays featured in this collection highlight exceptional student work while reflecting on the evolving relationship between Indigenous politics and academia. From issues like fishing rights and the Trans Mountain Pipeline to challenges of sexism and conservation policy, these essays capture a transformative period in Indigenous struggles, offering insights that resonate far beyond the Canadian settler state.

The anthology also includes contributions from prominent scholars such as Glen Coulthard, Dara Culhane, Michael Fabris, Sarah Hunt, and Heather Dorries.

Indigenous Spiritualities and Religious Freedom

Edited by Jeffery Hewitt, Beverly Jacobs, and Richard Moon

This collection explores Indigenous spiritual practices, their suppression by the Canadian state, and the intersection of Indigenous legal orders with Canadian law .

Indigenous Spiritualities and Religious Freedom investigates the complex relationship between Indigenous legal orders and Canadian law, emphasizing the richness of Indigenous spiritual practices alongside their historical and ongoing suppression by the Canadian state. It critically examines the role and limitations of the Canadian Charter of Right’s section 2(a), which guarantees freedom of religion, in protecting the spiritual lives of Indigenous communities.

The book highlights the holistic nature of Indigenous spiritual beliefs, which view the spiritual as immanent and closely tied to land and specific locations. The authors reveal how, by contrast, the Anglo-American conception of religious freedom often separates spiritual and religious matters from civic and political concerns, and so fails to provide meaningful protection for Indigenous cultural and spiritual practices.

Finally, Indigenous Spiritualities and Religious Freedom reveals the challenges — and perhaps the futility — of seeking significant protection for Indigenous spiritual practices within the existing framework of religious freedom.

Culinary Claims presents a comprehensive history of Indigenous restaurants in Canada, highlighting their significant role in the evolution of Canadian food culture

Culinary Claims explores the intricate dynamics between wild plants and introduced animals, Indigenous foodways, and Canadian regulations. Blending food studies with environmental history. This book examines how cuisines reflect social and political issues related to cultural representation, restaurants, and food sovereignty.

L. Sasha Gora chronicles the rise of Indigenous restaurants and their influence on Canadian food culture, engaging with questions about how shifts in appetite reflect broader shifts in imaginations of local environments and identities. Drawing on a diverse range of sources — from recipes and menus to artworks and television shows — this book discusses both historical and contemporary representations of Indigenous foodways and how they are changing amid the relocalization of food systems.

Culinary Claims tells a new story of settler colonialism and Indigenous resistance, emphasizing the critical role that restaurants play in Canada’s cultural landscape. It investigates how food shapes our understanding of place and the politics that underpin this relationship. Ultimately, this book asks, What insights can historians gain from restaurants — and their legacies — as reflections of Indigenous and settler negotiations over cultural claims to land?

Insight Studies

A Practice-Based Approach to SelfKnowledge and Critical Thinking

Kenneth R . Melchin

Insight Studies draws on Bernard Lonergan’s philosophy to teach critical thinking skills through a practice-based method inspired by how we learn musical instruments

Insight Studies emphasizes the importance of understanding the operations that generate and verify the knowledge we rely on in our daily lives. Grounded in the philosophy of Bernard Lonergan, this book employs a practice-based approach similar to learning a musical instrument, fostering critical thinking skills through engaging learning modules.

The book features modules that include puzzles with detailed instructions to help learners focus on their own cognitive processes and operations of knowing. This approach broadens the scope of critical thinking to encompass the operations of questioning, understanding, verifying, valuing, and cooperating. Each chapter illustrates the relevance of these skills across various fields, including ethics, conflict resolution, psychology, sociology, philosophy, politics, and personal relationships.

Structured as a nine-module course text, Insight Studies can be adapted for in-class, online, or self-directed learning. Designed to be learner friendly, this book equips readers with transformative skills that are applicable to everyday life.

Unthinkable Laughter

(Re)Imagining Anti-Racist Education

Laura Mae Lindo

Unthinkable Laughter explores innovative approaches to anti-racist education by blending political insights, critical analyses of African American “race comics,” and culturally relevant pedagogies for teacher education and beyond

Does anti-racist education need to rely so heavily on feelings of anxiety, anger, or guilt? Can comedy, and more specifically, African American “race comics,” help us rethink our approach to anti-racist education?

At a time when critical race theory is under attack, the need for new approaches to anti-racist education is urgent. Unthinkable Laughter addresses this need, highlighting the power of humour and race comedy as valuable alternative strategies. Drawing on her experiences in politics — as a former member of Provincial Parliament in Ontario, anti-racism critic for the province, and chair of Ontario’s first-ever Black Caucus — Laura Mae Lindo offers a fresh perspective on rethinking antiracism work in educational settings.

The book applies critical race theory and culturally relevant pedagogies to Canadian experiences in education and politics, addressing a significant representational gap that often fosters the misleading belief that racism in education is a problem unique to the United States. By introducing this theoretical framework to Canadian contexts, Lindo offers a more inclusive, global perspective on both critical race theory and culturally relevant pedagogies in education. Ultimately, Unthinkable Laughter calls for a shift in how we approach anti-racist education, urging the exploration of humour and race comedy as powerful and effective alternative strategies.

Edited by Stuart R . Poyntz, Am Johal, and Kari Grain

Bringing together leading scholars, Critical Futures explores how community-engaged research can address social justice, decolonization, and transformation in response to contemporary crises

Critical Futures explores the evolving landscape of communityengaged research (CER) in a time of unprecedented social, political, and environmental crises. This collection brings together leading scholars, community researchers, and activists to examine the intersection of CER with social justice, decolonization, and transformation.

The book explores the reimagining of CER and decolonizing research practices and offers case studies from the field. Through essays and contributions from a diverse group of scholars, this book highlights the need for ethical, equitable collaboration that transcends traditional academic hierarchies. It addresses topics including the role of solidarity in research, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on CER, Indigenous and Two-Spirit community research, and the critical importance of addressing power dynamics in university-community partnerships.

With a focus on justice and the creation of new collective possibilities, Critical Futures provides both theoretical frameworks and practical examples that inspire a rethinking of how community research can contribute to a more just and sustainable future.

Institutional autonomy, private interests, and relevance are central themes in the evolving discourse on the nature and role of higher education. Whether pushing institutions to become more responsive to industry and labour market demands or resisting these very pressures, leaders and policymakers insist that universities must adapt. Experiential Learning and Community explores the changing role of the university, with a particular focus on how the rise of experiential learning (EL) is reshaping teaching and learning.

Through the lens of EL, universities are balancing two core principles: fostering an engaged citizenry and democracy, while also equipping learners with the skills needed for a prosperous economy. As EL rapidly expands in various forms — such as work-integrated learning like co-ops and internships, as well as community-engaged student placements such as service learning — universities are extending their reach far beyond the campus.

The book asks: Should universities fully embrace EL? If so, how can institutions and faculty adapt to this fundamental shift in their core mission? Are community partners now equal collaborators with a voice in pedagogy and curriculum? And perhaps most importantly, are students better served by this emergent EL approach to teaching and learning? Experiential Learning and Community addresses these questions when universities, communities, and learners urgently need answers.

Advancing Critical CALL across Institutions and Borders

Reimagining Possibilities for Languages, Literacies, and Cultures

Edited by Emma R . Britton, Angelika Kraemer, Theresa Austin, Hengyi Liu, and Xinyue Zuo

Advances in CALL Research and Practice

This book explores how interinstitutional partnerships and transnational collaborations can enhance diversity, equity, inclusion, and access in language education worldwide .

This volume reimagines CALL as a vehicle for elevating the DEIA practices of language teachers and their students. It proposes that interinstitutional partnerships (i.e., those that involve knowledge and resource sharing across more than one institution) and transnational collaborations (i.e., those that include stakeholders located across national borders) are crucial for this purpose. It highlights a variety of CALL projects that have been collaboratively developed by stakeholders who are located at different institutions across the world, working with different languages. While the featured projects have varied aims–including curriculum development, virtual exchange, software development, and teacher professional development–collectively they advance our understanding of the ways that CALL and accessibility (DEIA) are purposefully and inextricably linked.

Information Structure in Spoken English

Information Structure in Spoken English A Systemic Functional Linguistics View

Gerard O’Grady

Key Concepts in Systemic Functional Linguistics

This book revises Halliday’s framework on information structure, challenging its foundations and proposing an updated model that reflects language as a complex social semiotic practice .

In a series of publications in the 1960s culminating in the 1967 book Intonation and the Grammar of English and the three articles Notes on Transitivity and Theme, Halliday proposed a system of information structure. Tonic items were presented as New or as if they were not recoverable from the context and cotext.

Halliday’s view has proven to be reliable over the past 50 years but this book aims to revise it. This book argues that Halliday’s system was premised on two views both of which have been questioned over the years. The first is that Halliday’s notion of recoverability was influenced by Shannon and Weaver’s mathematical theory of information predictability where information can be encoded in terms of bits which are transmitted from source A to source B. This is not how SFL theory sees language functioning. Languaging is not simply the transmitting of information but rather a social semiotic practice which interactants deploy to affiliate with others while pursuing their individual needs. Secondly the binary division of information as either New (1 bit) or Given (0 bit) has been questioned in recent years by work which has looked at presuppositions and implications. This book concludes by presenting an updated Hallidayan model which is sensitive to the above issues.

Word Phonology in a Systemic Functional Linguistic Framework

Word Phonology in a Systemic Functional Linguistic Framework Phonological

Studies in English, German, Welsh and Tera (Nigeria)

Paul Tench

Key Concepts in Systemic Functional Linguistics

This book presents an in-depth analysis of Systemic-Functional Linguistics as it applies to word phonology across four diverse languages

This book provides an original, full-scale, exploration in applying the principles and practices of SystemicFunctional Linguistics at the level of word phonology in English, German, Welsh and Tera (Nigeria). The relationship between lexicogrammar and word phonology is demonstrated, and the place of word phonology is set within the full range of a hierarchy of phonological expression. The function of phonology is given a new understanding in its relationship to lexicogrammar, and the notion of system is given extensive illustration in the numerous networks that are proposed. The special characteristic features of Systemic Phonology are compared with with the theory and structures of other approaches to phonology. The choice of the four languages is deliberate: English as the most described language in the world; German as a language in the same linguistic family as English; Welsh as another Indo-European language, but from a different linguistic family; and Tera as a language with absolutely no family connection to the others.

Paul Tench was formerly a senior lecturer in the Centre for Language and Communication Research and is now a research associate at Cardiff University.

THE SPEECH ACTS OF IRISH

UTTERANCE, SITUATION, AND MEANING

The Speech Acts of Irish Utterance, Situation, and Meaning

Brian Nolan

Using a descriptive and analytical approach rooted in speech act theory, this book explores the diverse speech acts of modern Irish

This book provides an account of the speech acts of modern Irish (assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, declarative, and indirect speech acts), and their various significant clausal / sentential constructions. The study is strongly descriptive in the first instance while delivering an analysis of these diverse speech acts of Irish in a way that is intended to strike a balance between depiction, explanation, and technical characterisation. The choice of topics, the characterisation of speech and illocutionary acts, covered in this study is guided primarily by speech act theory. It relates the speech acts of Irish to each other, and looks to define each, in terms of their relationship to the situation of the utterance reflecting real-time language-in-use, with context and common ground, to identify their important properties.

This book is intended for a broad and diverse scholarly audience. Primarily, it is intended to be of value to linguists interested in the pragmatics of Irish. Linguists studying the interaction of syntax, semantics and pragmatics are likely to find many of the descriptions and analyses of the speech act language phenomena interesting and useful.

Empirical Perspectives on the Use of Hungarian Nominal Demonstratives

Empirical Perspectives on the Use of Hungarian Nominal Demonstratives

Enikő Tóth

Pragmatic Interfaces

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of Hungarian nominal demonstratives, blending empirical research from experimental and corpus-based analyses

Deixis and the use of demonstratives are widely studied topics across languages. The fundamental purpose of this book is to provide an account of the semantics and pragmatics of Hungarian nominal demonstratives by examining why a speaker opts for a given demonstrative form in a particular speech situation and by investigating how the meaning of a demonstrative interacts with contextual clues during the process of reference resolution. These questions are addressed from an empirical perspective; the study incorporates the results of experimental work and corpus-based analyses. The present volume emphasizes the need to rely on various types of data sources obtained by the application of diverse methods (including elicitation, corpus-linguistic and experimental methods) to develop a comprehensive account of demonstrative use. The empirical findings reported contribute to our understanding of demonstrative practice as an interactional process between the speaker and the addressee; it is argued that demonstrative reference in Hungarian is a dynamic, highly context-dependent, interactive and addressee-oriented process.

The volume not only expands current approaches to the use of Hungarian nominal demonstratives, it also provides new insights on demonstrative use in a language where this phenomenon has not been explored by empirical tools before. The data collected and the research findings make valuable contributions to the current international debate on the role of factors that govern the choice of demonstratives in different languages.

Translations of Ancient Chinese Poems and Lyrics

Translated by Bo Wang and Yuanyi Ma

Drawing on aspects of the Systemic

Functional Linguistics theory, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of the English translations of ancient Chinese poems .

Linguistic Explorations in Translation Studies provides an English translation of one of the first attempts made by a Chinese scholar to apply Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) to translation studies. The original Chinese edition was published in 2006. This English edition includes a Preface written by the translators and an interview with Guowen Huang. By offering a comprehensive analysis of ancient Chinese poems, this book successfully illustrates how different aspects of the SFL theory can help to illuminate translation as a meaning-making process and points out various choices in meaning in the ancient Chinese poems and their translations. The book is also innovative in its proposal of the six steps in applying SFL to translation, which include (i) observation, (ii) interpretation, (iii) description, (iv) analysis, (v) explanation and (vi) evaluation.

The book will be of interest to researchers and academics who work on SFL, translation studies, language sciences or related areas as well as MA or doctoral students who would like to study SFL.

Theoretical Explorations in Translation Studies Readings Empowered by Systemic Functional Linguistics

Edited by Bo Wang, Yuanyi Ma, and Christian M .I .M . Matthiessen

Emphasizing theoretical and methodological frameworks over empirical evidence, this book explores translation as a process of meaning recreation within cultural contexts .

As a collection of eight contributions drawing on fullfledged SFL to translation studies, the book includes studies that centre on the theoretical and methodological frameworks, with instances of translation between different languages being treated as illustrations of phenomena that arise in translation rather than as empirical evidence forming part of a large-scale study. Arranged chronologically to reflect the development of ideas, the eight chapters are all written by Halliday and Matthiessen and are based on Hallidayan SFL rather than other “variants” of SFL. The chapters can all be characterized as text-based, meaning-oriented, system-oriented and metafunctional. They involve different aspects of language operating in context of culture, serving to explore the notion of translation as recreation of meaning in context.

Embodied Narratives in the Health Humanities and Literary Studies

Edited by Eftihia Mihelakis and Lucille Toth

This book explores how our physical experiences shape our understanding of health, disease, and illness, revealing the profound connection between literature and narrative medicine .

Embodied Narratives in the Health Humanities and Literary Studies bridges the gap between literary studies and health humanities, highlighting the transformative power of storytelling and the significance of the physical act of writing. From embodied narratives to cultural and historical contexts, this collection seeks to reshape our understanding of disease and illness.

Rooted in the belief that writing is a physically demanding process, the contributing authors explore the possibilities and limitations of embodied narratives through somatic experiences, challenging dominant perspectives on health, illness, and medicalization. In doing so, they address critical issues of representation, power dynamics in the medical field, and the relationship between literary form and health-care discourse.

Drawing on the principles of narrative medicine through the lens of literary studies, the book emphasizes the importance of subjectivity, empathy, and introspection. Embodied Narratives in the Health Humanities and Literary Studies amplifies the voices of marginalized communities and sparks critical discussions on social justice, health equity, and patient advocacy.

Moses and Political Philosophy

Ronald Beiner and Harrison Fluss

Moses and Political Philosophy highlights fascinating aspects of the impact that the story of Moses has had throughout the tradition of Western political thought .

Representations of the figure of Moses are both central and pervasive in the history of Western political thought. The story of Moses, as depicted in the Books of Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy in the Hebrew Bible, has generated an immensely powerful set of images that have left a lasting mark on both Western and global culture.

Moses and Political Philosophy explores the enduring tropes drawn from this narrative, which continue to shape political discourse up to the present. The book examines why these interpretations retain such a lasting relevance in contemporary debates and explores how an appreciation of them can enrich our engagement with the centuries-long dialogue that has shaped the tradition of Western political theory. Offering a comprehensive analysis of the Moses story, the book investigates various appropriations of the tale, the characterization of the Mosaic regime, the politically charged implications of Moses’s authority, and the most intriguing puzzles and paradoxes within the narrative. In doing so, Moses and Political Philosophy sheds new light on the profound and lasting influence of the Moses story on the evolution of political thought.

Victimology A Canadian Perspective, Second Edition

Jo-Anne M Wemmers

The second edition of this notable textbook provides a Canadian perspective on the scientific study of crime victims, highlighting their rights and the responsibility to prevent (re)victimization

In 2025, over 2 million Canadians are projected to become victims of violent crime, but most of these incidents will go unreported to the police.

Victimology examines the causes and consequences of victimization for individuals, communities, and society as a whole. Drawing from the latest research, victimologist Jo-Anne M. Wemmers provides a critical yet accessible overview of the field. This new edition incorporates updated legislation and statistics, as well as new frameworks such as intersectionality, traumainformed law, and transformative justice.

With a victim-centred approach in a system where victims often remain overlooked and have limited legal rights, Victimology emphasizes the importance of justice that extends beyond the criminal prosecution of offenders. By addressing the structural factors that contribute to victimization, the book advocates for accessible and adequate services for victims, provided by both societal and governmental bodies.

Each chapter includes discussion and reflection questions to enhance understanding and engagement. As a fundamental resource for victimology courses in criminology, social work, and sociology departments across Canada, Victimology focuses on Canadian law and policy while maintaining a global perspective.

Jo-Anne M. Wemmers is a professor in the School of Criminology at the Université de Montréal.

Seasonal Sociology

Second Edition

Edited by Tonya K Davidson and Ondine Park

This introduction to sociology explores the relationship between natural seasons and social life, offering contemporary insights into how seasonal phenomena shape consumption, leisure, work, celebrations, and more

Life in Canada is shaped by the seasons — marked, celebrated, enjoyed, and sometimes dreaded in ways that respond directly to the changing cycles in nature. Sociological thinking encourages us to question the aspects of everyday life that we may otherwise take for granted.

Seasonal Sociology takes a sociological approach to thinking about the seasons, providing a unique perspective for understanding social life. Each chapter in this collection explores key issues of sociological interest through the passage of time and seasonal change. The authors wield seasonality as a powerful tool that can bridge small-scale interpersonal interactions with large-scale institutional structures.

This collection of contemporary Canadian case studies is wide-ranging and analyses topics such as pumpkin spice lattes, policing in schools, law and colonialism, summer cottages, seasonal affective disorder, Vaisakhi celebrations, and more. The second edition introduces new chapters on Labour Day and organized labour, disability and online dating, maple sugar shacks, seasonal agricultural work, wildfires, and social movements like Pride and Black Lives Matter. Seasonal Sociology ultimately offers fresh, provocative ways of thinking about the nature of our collective lives.

Eating Culture

An Anthropological Guide to Food, Third Edition

Gillian Crowther

Offering practical insights for navigating our relationship with food, Eating Culture provides a comprehensive anthropological perspective on food.

Eating Culture chews on the evolution of human food consumption, from hunter-gathering to ultra-processed foods, to consider the impacts on our work, health, and cultural identity.

The new edition uses the concept of cuisine to trace humanity’s relationship with food, thematically explored through health, sociality, and identity. It evaluates dietary change, decent meals, and food commodification, alongside threats to security and health. Drawing on ethnographic examples, dietary transitions are situated in changing political, economic, and social circumstances, presenting a critical approach necessary to explore our current global food system. Chapters on cooking, recipes, and eating-in and out offer relatable examples, underlining the significance of everyday life and incorporating an ethnographic approach. Practical exercises aligned with each chapter’s themes highlight the relevancy of our own experiences.

Vividly illustrated, Eating Culture explores dishes from various global cuisines, and offers insights into culinary traditions enriching our understanding and appreciation of food as a fundamental aspect of culture in our daily lives. Ultimately, the book presents a critical examination of how deeply food is entwined with our identity.

Gillian Crowther recently retired from Capilano University after teaching anthropology for over twenty-five years.

African & Diasporic Cultural Studies

This collection uncovers the rich, yet overlooked history of Canada’s Black Press, revealing its impact on intellectual activism and social justice movements from the nineteenth century to today

The Black Press brings together original, multidisciplinary research that explores the history and impact of Black newspapers in Canada. This collection of essays introduces readers to the rich archive of Black Canadian journalism, spanning the period from the abolitionist to the modern civil rights era, and reveals the extensive network of African and African-descended activist-journalists.

The book positions Black Canadian journalists, editors, publishers, and readers as influential intellectual activists whose efforts shaped the press to drive socio-cultural change both in Canada and abroad. Through historical analysis and archival research, each essay highlights how Black journalists countered mainstream portrayals of their community, challenging dominant narratives of Blackness in the Canadian imaginary. The essays demonstrate how the Black Press served as a crucial space for reflecting on Black Canadian identity, belonging, social justice, and human rights within the colonial contexts of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Combining historical, archival, and cultural analysis, the book uncovers the profound and often overlooked influence of the Black Press on Canada’s cultural and political landscape.

Photographing Ambiguity

Ted Hiebert

Digital Futures

Photographing Ambiguity investigates the role of the image in the twenty-first century, advocating for photographic practices that foster more ambiguous, creative, and mindful connections to digital culture

Photographing Ambiguity examines photography as a metaphor for technological culture, arguing that a relational exploration of the medium can shed light on the dominant ideological tendencies of our time. The book advocates for photographic practices that emphasize ambiguity, suggesting that this approach fosters more conscientious, ecological, and creative relationships within the technological ecosystem of contemporary life.

Ted Hiebert critiques the notion that images should primarily serve to verify or document the external world. He contends that these quantifiable perspectives, while rooted in historical trends towards technology and data, have become so pervasive that they represent a dominant ideological bias in the twenty-first century. In response to this data-driven consciousness, the book presents a series of exercises designed to cultivate an embodied experience with digital living — not in opposition to the flood of images but within it. Ultimately, Photographing Ambiguity encourages readers to understand photographs not as benchmarks of reality but as ambiguous constructions of our present and future imaginaries.

Ted Hiebert is a professor and chair of the School of Image Arts at Toronto Metropolitan University.

Militarized Masculinity in Spain and Chile Remembering Violence through Film and Literature

Lisa DiGiovanni

Latinoamericana

Revealing how militarized masculinity inextricably intersects with political repression, this book examines the dictatorial regimes of Francisco Franco and Augusto Pinochet to offer arresting examples of the implications of these links

In the context of authoritarian rule, torture has repeatedly emerged as a tool of social control. When we ask why and how through a comparative lens, patterns become visible. The right-wing military regimes of Francisco Franco in Spain and Augusto Pinochet in Chile exemplify how militarized masculinity served to enforce political repression and instill fear.

Militarized Masculinity in Spain and Chile proposes that, until we connect the dots between masculinity, militarism, and violence, we cannot fully comprehend the causes and consequences of dictatorial brutality. Lisa DiGiovanni provides an in-depth examination of how literature and film illuminate these often-overlooked relationships, bridging historical and cultural contexts.

The book presents a comprehensive exploration of militarized masculinity as it pertains to these interconnected regimes, revealing the intersections between gender constructs and state violence. By analyzing representations in various cultural texts, Militarized Masculinity in Spain and Chile sheds light on the enduring mechanisms of power and control that continue to resonate today.

Lisa DiGiovanni is chair of the Department of Modern Languages, professor of Spanish, and interdisciplinary scholar of genocide studies at Keene State College.

Drawing on memory studies and theatrical history, Commemorative Acts analyses a neglected body of plays staged in France after the Great War, between 1918 and 1937, to reveal their profound impact on collective memory and cultural identity .

In the aftermath of the Great War, a remarkable wave of collective commemoration emerged, but the aesthetic diversity of this period has often been overshadowed by a singular focus on the combatant experience, primarily conveyed through fiction and memoir. This selective historical narrative has fostered a homogenized memory of the war, neglecting the rich array of cultural productions that also emerged alongside it. Commemorative Acts challenges these prevailing assumptions about the memory of the Great War and its literary expression in interwar France by spotlighting theatrical works that have largely been forgotten.

The book uncovers how the dominance of firstperson accounts of soldiers’ experiences has subtly, yet powerfully, narrowed our understanding of what the memory of the Great War can encompass. It explores how drama, structurally at odds with the first-person perspective and defined by its simultaneous modes of expression and reception, has been lost to collective memory. By examining the unique capacity of the dramatic form to capture war trauma, Commemorative Acts offers insights that differ from those of other literary genres, highlighting the theatre’s potential to provide a more expansive and nuanced understanding of interwar memorial culture.

Toxitaly Industrial Landscapes and the Environment in

Italian Ecodocumentaries

Paolo Chirumbolo

Toronto Italian Studies

Toxitaly examines the emergence of Italian ecodocumentaries, addressing urgent global issues such as industrial decay, environmental pollution, waste management, and food and water poisoning

The rise of Italian ecodocumentaries represents a significant cultural response to urgent environmental issues, reflecting a growing ecological awareness in contemporary Italian society.

Toxitaly presents a comprehensive scholarly analysis of these films, exploring their portrayal of key regional and national environmental events and concerns.

Paolo Chirumbolo discusses the impact of these documentaries on Italian culture, highlighting how they depict industrial landscapes and articulate the emerging ecological consciousness. The analysis is structured around four main narratives: “Petronarratives,” “Steel Narratives,” “Chemical Narratives,” and “Waste Narratives.” Each ecodocumentary is examined thematically and formally, with Chirumbolo employing Bill Nichols’s theories on the various modes of representation in documentary film to define the relationships between subject matter, filmmaker, and viewer.

In a time of increasing public interest in environmental issues and the growth of grassroots movements, Toxitaly illuminates how ecodocumentaries can shape public discourse and inspire ecological awareness both in Italy and beyond.

AMERICANISM

The Rise of Americanism in Italy, 1888–1919

Luca Cottini

Toronto Italian Studies

The Rise of Americanism in Italy, 1889–1919 explores the political, industrial, and military expansion of the United States at the turn of the twentieth century from the viewpoint of Italian culture

The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries marked a pivotal time for the United States as the nation emerged as a political and industrial powerhouse and fashioned its new value system. Amid waves of emigration and evolving cultural exchanges, Italy’s relationship with America became a complex tapestry of admiration, critique, and adaptation.

This study of Italy’s Americanism explores social debates within Italy regarding emigration, the development of a Columbian narrative, European reactions to the Spanish-American War, the impact of American products on Italian society, and former US president Woodrow Wilson’s military intervention and political propaganda during the First World War. It highlights discussions among Italians about the implications of emigration, contrasting prevailing negative views with a counter-narrative from Italian journalists, scholars, and missionaries who visited the United States. The negotiation of US imports and their incorporation into the Italian national context document the formation of a distinct American subculture and the early phases of the nation’s Americanization.

The Rise of Americanism in Italy provides a unique perspective to assess the early stages of America’s “soft” expansion, as the flow of departing and returning emigrants made Italy a favourable terrain for commercial penetration in Europe, transforming an export ideology into a complex network of transatlantic relations.

Dangerous Creations

The Inventor Novel in Fin-de-Siècle France

Ana Oancea

University of Toronto Romance Series

Dangerous Creations investigates a previously unidentified genre of nineteenth-century French literature — the inventor novel — where science fiction, naturalism, and decadence intersect

Dangerous Creations presents a master narrative of the inventor in fin-de-siècle French literature by analyzing the works of Jules Verne, Albert Robida, Émile Zola, and Villiers de l’Isle-Adam. Their writings challenge the role of science in shaping French national identity and aim to transform contemporary understandings of science and technology.

The book reveals how Verne, Robida, Zola, and de l’IsleAdam reimagine the figure of the inventor, reshaping the literary standards of their time. Universally male in these narratives, the inventor serves as a flawed exemplar of national heroism during the Age of Empire — a period marked by significant external threats and internal strife — while also embodying unrestrained creativity. Ultimately, the inventor novel reflects broader French anxieties surrounding scientific progress, empire, and gender.

Ana Oancea explores the transmedia and transnational legacy of the fin-de-siècle inventor novel through vignettes that highlight similarly themed narratives in contemporary popular culture. These sections engage with films, television series, graphic narratives, and video games that reinterpret key aspects of the inventor narrative, shedding light on its power structures, racial and gender politics, and colonial aspirations.

Noble Sentiments and the Rise of Russian Novels

A European Literary History

Hilde Hoogenboom

This new history of Russian novels integrates Russian and European publication data, women writers, sentimentalism, and noble service culture to show how novelists adapted the European conversation about duty to their quest for a meaningful life

Noble Sentiments and the Rise of Russian Novels rewrites the history of nineteenth-century Russian novels. Hilde Hoogenboom examines how Russians created a new literature against substantial odds: ninety per cent of novels published in Russia through the 1850s were foreign.

Using data from eighteenth- and nineteenth-century catalogues, Hoogenboom visualizes readers’ large appetite for translated sentimental and sentimental realist novels, many by such internationally renowned women as Madame de Genlis, Sophie Cottin, and George Sand. The book reveals that, contrary to stereotypes of emotional excess, sentimentalism was a tenacious, opportunistic chameleon that allowed writers to both challenge and reaffirm the social order. Russian writers used European novels as they sought to understand themselves and the challenges of their position as hereditary service nobles in charge of an empire with fifty million serfs. Together, noblemen and women adapted the fundamental European literary conversation — on a sentimental moral education in duty to the greater good — to their search for a life of purpose. Hoogenboom’s study sheds new light on Karamzin, Zhukovsky, Pushkin, Turgenev, Goncharov, Dostoevsky, and Tolstoy and introduces readers to major authors Evgenia Tur and Nadezhda Khvoshchinskaya. Their debates and rivalry with each other and with European novelists gave birth to an exciting, influential literature.

Translated by Sandro-Angelo de Thomasis

Lorenzo Da Ponte Italian Library

This book presents a comprehensive collection of Piero Gobetti’s writings in English, featuring over thirty articles spanning his entire journalistic career, and a translation of his magnum opus, La Rivoluzione Liberale

As we approach the centenary of the death of Italian journalist, radical liberal, and anti-fascist intellectual Piero Gobetti (1901–26), his insights into liberalism and anti-fascism resonate more than ever, particularly in light of the resurgence of reactionary politics reminiscent of fascism and ongoing debates surrounding (neo-)liberalism.

An Intellectual against Fascism offers anglophone readers a new translation of over thirty articles that span Gobetti’s entire journalistic career, half of which have previously been unavailable in English. The volume is thoughtfully organized to allow readers to trace the progressive development of his ideas. To enhance understanding of Gobetti’s thought, this expertly curated collection includes his writings on literature, theatre, and literary criticism. It also features the complete text of La Rivoluzione Liberale (1924), his magnum opus, which has not been available in its entirety before. An extensive critical apparatus accompanies the collection, including a preface, an introduction, and concise introductions and notes for each article.

Piero Gobetti (1901–1926) was an Italian journalist, intellectual, and anti-fascist.

The Ecology of Italian Science Fiction

Marco Malvestio

Toronto Italian Studies

This book illuminates interactions between Italian environmental history and science fiction, offering fresh insights into how literary imagination has addressed ecological changes in the latter half of the twentieth century .

The Ecology of Italian Science Fiction investigates the representation of ecological issues in Italian science fiction and film from the 1950s to the present. Taking into account a previously understudied corpus, the book reveals how Italian science fiction has consistently been able to conceptualize and dramatize the impact of human activities on the health of planetary ecosystems and addresses the radical environmental changes that have occurred in the country since the Second World War.

Moving from current debates on the environmental humanities and on the cultural status of speculative fiction, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the evolution of the genre in Italy in relationship to the country’s environmental history. The book highlights the ways in which Italian science fiction represents non-human agencies — animal, vegetal, mineral — and how the recent Solarpunk movement imagines new synergies with the environment. Drawing on notable works ranging from Lino Aldani to Gilda Musa, from Francesco Verso to Paolo Zardi, from Nicoletta Vallorani to Laura Pugno, The Ecology of Italian Science Fiction covers topics as diverse as the evolution of petroculture in Italy, environmental justice and migrations, encounters with animal and vegetal alterity, ecofeminist stances, and new dreams of sustainability.

Afrika and Alemania

German-Speaking Women, Africa, and the African Diaspora

Edited by Priscilla Layne, Michelle James, and Lisabeth Hock

German and European Studies

This book examines how German-speaking women of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds represent Africa and Blackness, foregrounding the challenges Black women face in defining and portraying Blackness, African identities, and Africa on their terms .

Afrika and Alemania explores the representation of Blackness in German-speaking literary, autobiographical, and cinematic texts across two centuries. By examining how different groups of women with access to German culture have depicted Africa, Africans, and the African diaspora, the book challenges the assumption that all women will tell the same story. Focusing on Black women, non-Black women of colour, and white women, it investigates how these diverse voices engage with and represent Blackness within a society shaped by racial hierarchies. Part I analyses how Black, German-speaking women actively reshape and redefine Blackness in response to stereotypes upheld by white German society. Part II explores how non-Black women of colour navigate the complexities of othering while sometimes reproducing anti-Black stereotypes, while Part III discusses how white women’s projections of fantasies about Africa often erase Black voices and render them invisible. Offering a nuanced analysis of the intersections of race, gender, ethnicity, and nationality, Afrika and Alemania provides a vital framework for understanding Blackness within contemporary scholarship and its broader social and cultural implications.

Born Again

Romanticism and Fundamentalism

Jeffrey Champlin German and European Studies

Born Again explores the historical roots of fundamentalism using key figures of philosophy, literature, and ethics to challenge blind faith and promote moral and political consciousness .

Born Again examines the deep historical roots of fundamentalism in Protestantism and the imaginative traditions of Romantic literature. It explores how the resurgence of fundamentalist thought within “born again” Christianity seeks to repress the trauma of modernity through the belief that the world must be radically transformed to align with a divine standard. By analysing the logic of this repression, the book reveals an alternative vision: a “revivalist rebirth” that offers a new ethical imperative to creatively shape the world in collaboration with others. Thinkers such as Immanuel Kant, Percy Shelley, and Friedrich Schlegel are central to the analysis, as are the literary works Faust and Frankenstein . Jeffrey Champlin illustrates how a revivalist imagination challenges blind faith, presenting figures of life reawakened to conscious moral and political engagement. Engaging with Arendt’s politics of natality and Derrida’s ethics of survival, Born Again offers pathways to reimagine a world that confronts the profound losses fueling fundamentalist ideologies, making it a timely and thought-provoking exploration for contemporary readers.

Signs of the Material World

Dostoevsky, Science, and the NineteenthCentury Novel

Melissa Frazier

Drawing on Dostoevsky’s relationship with science, Signs of the Material World explores the literary impacts of nineteenth-century materialism

Signs of the Material World traces the literary effects of nineteenth-century materialism that includes the mind and body within a multifaceted “living life.” The book examines a range of scientists, from Auguste Comte and the “vulgar” materialists to Charles Darwin, James Clerk Maxwell, George Henry Lewes, Charles Sanders Peirce, and the Russian Nikolai Strakhov.

The book sets Fyodor Dostoevsky in complex opposition to his fellow writers, Lev Tolstoy and Nikolai Chernyshevsky, while also exploring the formal connections that he shares with contemporaries across Europe and the United States, including Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Friedrich Schiller. Melissa Frazier argues that Dostoevsky’s art serves as his science, both in his reliance on plot and in his recourse to an often-extravagant figurative language.

This combined literary and scientific practice reflects Dostoevsky’s transnational and interdisciplinary reading; it also transforms our own. In George Eliot’s words, Dostoevsky “changes the lights for us.” Once drawn into his orbit, Eliot herself no longer looks quite the same. Finally, Signs of the Material World argues that Eliot and Dostoevsky’s particular strain of nineteenth-century materialism lends itself to an ambivalent political stance, as they both confront the certainties of social utopianism with a deliberate embrace of ambiguity.

Subscribing to Sovietdom

The Lives of the Socialist Literary Journal

Philip TuxburyGleissner

Subscribing to Sovietdom explores the multifaceted history of literary journals in the Soviet Union and other socialist countries, highlighting their role as cultural and literary institutions and visual objects from the revolutionary era to the end of socialism

In the Soviet Union, literary journals were ubiquitous. Citizens read these so-called thick journals on crowded buses and debated the most recent issue with colleagues at work or friends at the kitchen table. Writers competed for spots in the most prestigious periodicals and formed communities around editorial offices that operated in a complex relationship with censorship and Party authorities. Significant resources were allocated to the design and production of these monthlies, with press runs in the hundreds of thousands and even millions at their peak.

Subscribing to Sovietdom offers a comprehensive study of the socialist literary journal as a unique cultural form — from the early revolutionary years to the end of socialism — within the Soviet Union and abroad. Synthesizing visual and literary analysis of the periodicals, archive-based literary history, and computational approaches to the study of bibliographical data, the book reveals the medium in its role as literary institution, visual object of everyday life, and cultural event.

Queer Print Cultures

Resistance, Subversion, and Community

Edited by Vance Byrd and Javier Samper Vendrell

Studies in Book and Print Culture

Queer Print Cultures brings together interdisciplinary scholarship to consider what printed materials can tell us about the history of gendered and sexual embodiment

Queer Print Cultures explores the intersections of queer studies, book history, and visual culture, challenging traditional narratives about printed objects and their cultural significance. This collection of essays examines how printed materials illuminate histories of gendered and sexual embodiment, revealing the complex interactions between texts, their creators, and their readers.

With essays from scholars, librarians, archivists, and activists, the volume amplifies voices often excluded from mainstream discussions, focusing on individuals marginalized by gender, sexuality, race, and class. Contributors investigate how queer communities have utilized various forms of media — from science fiction and romance novels to zines and social media — to articulate queer identities and navigate questions of kinship and citizenship.

In a time when expressions of identity are becoming increasingly diverse, Queer Print Cultures serves as an essential resource on the transformative power of print in shaping queer experiences and resisting societal norms.

Edited by Hyangsoon Yi

James Scarth Gale

Library of Korean Literature

Life of the Buddha presents an English translation of P’alsangnok, a celebrated biography of the Buddha written in the early nineteenth century

Composed in vernacular Korean by Pow˘ol, P’alsangnok, or Record of the Eight Marks, is an influential pre-modern fictional biography of the Buddha that chronicles the life of Śākyamuni through eight transformative stages, from his celestial origins to his final moments.

Life of the Buddha illuminates the rich tapestry of Chos˘on Buddhism as translated by Canadian missionary James Scarth Gale in 1915. With nearly four decades of immersion in Korean culture, Gale’s expertise ensures that this translation retains the essence of the original, while highlighting unique local teachings alongside the broader Buddhist biographical tradition. The book offers a comprehensive introduction to P’alsangnok and compiles an extensive list of Buddha biographies published in European languages from the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries, aiming to evaluate Gale’s impact on the discursive formation of Buddhism in the West.

Edited by Hyangsoon Yi, this groundbreaking volume examines the dynamic interplay between popular Buddhist practice and literature during the Chos˘on era, offering a vital opportunity to explore intercultural and interreligious dialogues and the enduring relevance of Buddhist teachings.

James Scarth Gale (1863–1937) was the first Canadian Presbyterian missionary, educator, and Bible translator in Korea.

Anna Livia Plurilingual Exploring a Joycean Macrotext

Patrick O’Neill

This book explores a Joycean macrotext through a comparative analysis of multiple translations of Anna Livia Plurabelle, revealing its complex ties to the notoriously untranslatable Finnegans Wake .

The complexity of James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake ensures that it cannot be translated; rather, it can only be rewritten. These rewritings vary significantly, and the extent of their differences — both within individual target languages and across multiple languages — invites further exploration.

Anna Livia Plurilingual is a study of a Joycean macrotext that provides a detailed comparative analysis of multiple translations of selected excerpts from Joyce’s iconic Anna Livia Plurabelle (1928), which was later incorporated into Finnegans Wake (1939). Patrick O’Neill examines how these translations function as independent texts rather than mere derivatives of the original, highlighting the creative and interpretative choices made by translators.

While the concept of a literary macrotext could in principle encompass all reader responses, this work specifically focuses on translations, emphasizing comparative readings of the original text alongside its diverse interpretations. O’Neill’s investigation not only illuminates the intricacies of Joyce’s language and the complexities of the resulting macrotext but also offers valuable insights into the broader field of literary translation studies.

A Character Named Cervantes

On Screen, on Stage, and on the Page

Edited by Howard Mancing and Tatevik Gyulamiryan

This book examines Miguel de Cervantes’s appearances in film, literature, theatre, and art, exploring the multifaceted ways he is depicted as both a historical figure and a fictional character

Miguel de Cervantes, writer of Don Quixote, has frequently been portrayed in fictionalized contexts across various mediums. In A Character Named Cervantes, Howard Mancing and Tatevik Gyulamiryan explore how Cervantes’s life is depicted in biographies and fiction and how he, as a (bio)fictional character, contributes to our understanding of reality and fiction, fact and invention, history and imagination, and above all, our perceptions of these concepts.

The book reveals that Cervantes’s life was unlike anyone else’s. Characterized by an array of extraordinary experiences — both triumphant and tumultuous, adventurous and misfortunate, impassioned and disillusioned — his life events mirror the quixotic spirit he famously imbued in his iconic character. Despite the wealth of documented events, a lot about Cervantes remains uncovered, which allows for human imagination, interpretation, and creation to intervene, attempting to provide a more comprehensive biography. The book highlights how Cervantes’s life has inspired multiple interpretations and recreations by historians, biographers, and novelists alike. Ultimately, A Character Named Cervantes examines Cervantes through the dual lenses of fiction and fictionalized history.

The Aesthetic Turn in Cervantes

Susan Byrne Toronto Iberic

This book reveals the central role played by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes in the development of modern-day aesthetics

In the early modern Spanish context, the arts underwent a significant transformation, with Miguel de Cervantes emerging as a pivotal figure in the evolution of philosophical aesthetics. His creative prose dramatized a new artistic philosophy over a century before Alexander Baumgarten coined the term “aesthetics.”

The Aesthetic Turn in Cervantes broadens our understanding of this transformative period. Susan Byrne examines a littleknown legal treatise published in 1600 that defended artists’ rights and served as a rallying cry for writers in Madrid. The book investigates early efforts to define creative writing as “good,” “human,” or “polished” letters, foreshadowing the mid-seventeenth-century French concept of belles lettres. Byrne closely analyses Cervantes’s exploration of key aesthetic themes, including sensory experience, the interplay between sentiment and reason, the role of imagination in art, and the complex nature of truth and beauty. Ultimately, the book illuminates how Cervantes gradually reconceptualized art and its truths as fully human expressions throughout his lifetime, both formally and substantively.

Chaucer’s Problem of Prose

Media, History, and The Canterbury Tales

Stephen M . Yeager

This book examines how Chaucer’s innovative use of prose in The Canterbury Tales reflects the complex political anxieties surrounding writing and media in fourteenth-century England .

In Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales, key structural moments arise when a speaker shifts from rhyming heroic couplets to address the reader in prose, as well as in instances where prose is mentioned but not employed. These interruptions may seem like glosses explaining Chaucer’s intentions, yet they occur during the most contradictory moments of the frame narrative, making his aims particularly elusive.

In Chaucer’s Problem of Prose, Stephen M. Yeager argues that the presence of prose in The Canterbury Tales exposes the complexities of poetic form, manuscript technology, and the media ecology of medieval clerical culture. The book asserts that Chaucer’s work is informed by his awareness of the significant role that Old English plays in early English monastic chronicles and cartularies, representing some of the earliest recorded uses of his chosen literary language.

The book explores the surprising connections between the most striking depictions of racial otherness in The Canterbury Tales, the sections that engage with English monastic historiography, and the moments where Chaucer disrupts the narrative convention that dictates everyone in fourteenth-century England speaks in rhyming iambic pentameter couplets — either by writing in prose or discussing prose itself. Ultimately, Chaucer’s Problem of Prose examines how these moments reveal Chaucer’s anxieties about historical media and the central role of monastic historiography in documenting early English history.

CLINICAL INSIGHTS IN NEONATOLOGY

Editors-in-Chief

Estelle B. Gauda and Eugene Ng

The Journal of Clinical Insights in Neonatology (JCIN) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal from The Toronto Centre for Neonatal Health, published by University of Toronto Press.

Our mission is to provide a collaborative platform for neonatologists, clinicians, and researchers globally to share and explore complex and impactful case studies.

Through this journal, we aim to serve as a resource for assembling and distributing stories to elevate expertise in neonatal care. Our vision is to foster innovation, encourage discovery, and promote the exchange of valuable experiences. The journal will feature a diverse range of content, including case reports, case series, clinical images and graphics that highlight key concepts, as well as "Voice of Experience" pieces, which encompass opinion articles, clinical pearls, and interpretations of new guidelines and statements. JCIN invites submissions on all facets of neonatology, welcoming contributions that advance the field and inspire ongoing dialogue and learning.

PONTE ITALIAN LIBRARY

AVAILABLE FROM UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO PRESS

Over twenty years ago, the Lorenzo Da Ponte Italian Library was created with the vision of making available to English audiences groundbreaking works by Italian authors, throughout the centuries, in the fields of history, literature, jurisprudence, art history, gastronomy, political science, and philosophy. Avoiding well-established and widely translated authors such as Dante, Petrarch, and Machiavelli, the series was intended to provide new and improved translations—many for the first time—of works that greatly impacted Western culture.

“Anyone who seeks to know Italian food avoids Artusi at his or her peril. He is the fountainhead of modern Italian cookery.”

—FRED PLOTKIN

Gastronomica

“Together with its perceptive introduction, this book truly gives us The Stones of Venice complete—both in its romance and its ardent antiquarianism.”

“Gatti’s meticulous translation of the dialogue provides readers with an invaluable set of resources for exploring this extraordinary work.”

—SIMON GILSON University of Oxford

—STEPHEN KITE Cardiff University

“This new translation of Alfieri’s Life is particularly welcome ... and will certainly enhance studies in Italian literature.”

—CHIARA FENOGLIO Università di Torino

“It is a joy to read and reread the remarkable literary oeuvre of the sculptor of David and the painter of the Sistine Chapel!”

—MARJORIE PERLOFF

Author of Infrathin: An Experiment in Micropoetic

“The Lorenzo Da Ponte Italian Library’s twenty-year history is a testament to the power of preserving tradition, connecting cultures, and shaping the future through the written word. As the next twenty years unfold the world’s understanding of philosophical principles and cultural heritage remains indispensable.”

—BERARDO PARADISO

Chairperson of the Board of Agincourt

Linguistics Books from University of Toronto Press

University of Toronto Press has acquired the Equinox Linguistics catalogue! The acquisition includes over twenty journals and several hundred book titles, for the academic, course, and trade markets. In addition to books and articles on language acquisition and professional practice, the newly acquired list takes a systemic functional approach, an increasingly relevant means of understanding language and its social function. The catalogue broadens UTP’s collection and complements its offerings in anthropology, education, literature, and Indigenous studies.

“An enjoyable and accessible tour through a range of linguistic and cultural insights into ordinary conversation, public signs, and artefacts.”

—JOHN SAEED Trinity College Dublin

“This hugely original book remaps the territory for the study of language generally, and systemic functional linguistics in particular, as we enter the midtwenty-first century.”

—JOHN E. JOSEPH

University

of Edinburgh, UK

“This book provides a practical guide of ways to implement a queered classroom, from conception to action to feedback.”

—JOURNAL OF LANGUAGE AND SEXUALITY

“An excellent, very accessible, and extremely easy- and fun-to-read introduction to some of the basic questions (and misconceptions) regarding language, language learning, and linguistics.”

—LINGUIST LIST

“This is an essential read for anyone embarking on an academic course— and for anyone who wants to improve their essay writing, no matter their experience.”

—DR. EMMA L. HENDERSON University of Surrey, UK

This inspirational guide presents educators with insights, teaching stories, and reflective exercises to nurture their own writing practices and those of their students across the curriculum.
