Agent of Change
My Life Fighting Terrorists, Spies, and Institutional Racism
Huda Mukbil shares her experiences as a Black Arab-Canadian Muslim intelligence officer with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. Her dazzling account reveals how racism, misogyny, and Islamophobia undermine not only individuals, but institutions and the national interest – and how addressing this can tackle populism and misinformation.
Basic Income and a Just Society
Policy Choices for Canada’s Social Safety Net
With France St-Hilaire
As governments struggle to adapt half-century-old income and social support programs to new needs and realities, some are calling for the introduction of a basic income guarantee for working-age Canadians. Basic Income and a Just Society provides a comprehensive evaluation of basic income and its application as a primary social policy tool. Drawing on extensive research and analysis produced for the British Columbia Expert Panel on Basic Income, combined with pan-Canadian data and current evidence, leading scholars examine the various claims made for and against a basic income.
Canada
Beyond Grudges, Grievances, and Disunity
Donald J. Savoie asserts that Canada continues to thrive because Canadians and their political leaders have been able to work around shortcomings in the country’s political institutions. These shortcomings have pushed political leaders to find solutions outside institutions to meet Canada s political and economic requirements.
Also available in French:
Le Canada
Au-delà des rancunes, des doléances et de la discorde
Called Upstairs
Moravian Inuit Music in Labrador
Called Upstairs explores the transformation, under centuries of Inuit stewardship, of a music practice introduced by Moravian missionaries in the late 1700s. A story of adaptation and mediation, the book presents a chronicle of Inuit leadership and agency in the face of colonialism.
Ukrainian Ritual on the Prairies
Growing a Ukrainian Canadian Identity
Natalie Kononenko describes the everyday lives of Ukrainian Canadians on the prairies and explores how they have preserved existing Ukrainian traditions and developed a new culture sensitive to the realities of Canadian life. Drawing on ten years of interviews, the book focuses on Ukrainian Canadian ritual practices such as weddings and holidays.
The Transformation of Civil Society
An Oral History of Ukrainian Peasant Culture, 1920s to 1930s
The terror unleashed by Soviet power on the Ukrainian countryside in the early 1930s altered every aspect of village life. Based on extensive interviews with villagers throughout Ukraine, The Transformation of Civil Society provides an oral history of the material and cultural destruction sustained in rural Ukraine throughout the Stalinist era.
Capitalism XXL
Why the Global Economy Became Gigantic and How to Fix It
Capitalism XXL calls for changing the rules of capitalism in order to tame giant corporations and restore the individual to the world economy. Noels proposes an approach that considers human dimensions and describes a sustainable future economy that will not burden subsequent generations with debt, social inequality, and environmental damage.
Enduring Work
Experiences with Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program
Comparing the lived reality of agricultural workers, in-home caregivers, and low- and high-wage workers, and integrating the perspectives of employers both reluctant and reckless, Catherine Connelly unpacks the harms within Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program and offers nuanced strategies to improve it.
Generation Why
How Boomers Can Lead and Learn from Millennials and Gen Z
By Karl Moore
Based on hundreds of interviews conducted with under-thirty-year-olds across the globe, as well as executives’ perspectives on changing dynamics in the workplace, Generation Why provides a thorough study of how the worldview of millennials and generation Z informs their ideas about truth, hierarchy, and leadership.
Neurowaves
Brain, Time, and Consciousness
Neurowaves demonstrates how the brain’s inner time and its dynamics produce the mind and mental features like thoughts and feelings. Northoff proposes that the world is structured by waves of time, and the passing of these waves through our brains – neurowaves – is the basis of our mental experiences of the world.
Psychedelic New York
A History of LSD in the City
A hub for the production, distribution, investigation, and consumption of psychedelics, New York City gave birth to a drug culture that was a fitting reflection of the global metropolis. Psychedelic New York sheds light on decades of psychedelic science, the inception of psychedelic art, drug-infused spirituality, and competing drug subcultures.
Eighteenth-Century Ukraine
New Perspectives on Social, Cultural, and Intellectual History
In 1648, the Cossack revolution of Eastern Europe established a new social and political order that endured until the early nineteenth century. Eighteenth-Century Ukraine provides an innovative reassessment of this crucial period and reflects new developments in the study of eighteenth-century Ukrainian social and cultural history.
Canadian Literary Fare
When literary writers place food in front of their characters, they ask readers to be alert to the meaning and implication of food choices. In Canadian Literary Fare Nathalie Cooke and Shelley Boyd explore food voices in a wide range of Canadian fiction, drama, and poetry.
Once upon a Time in the West
Essays on the Politics of Thought and Imagination
Western civilization is over. So begins Jan Zwicky’s trenchant exploration of the roots of global cultural and ecological collapse. Once Upon a Time in the West documents how a narrow epistemological style has left us blind to critical features of reality, and how the terrifying consequences of that shuttered vision are now unfolding.
The History of the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada
3-Volume Set, 1759-2022
Roman Jarymowycz recounts the story of The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada in three volumes, tracing its history from the roots to present day.
