New Releases: June 2023
Get started on your summer reading with a new book from MQUP! This month, we are pleased to release eight new titles exploring a wide range of topics: from basic income in Canada and federalist thought in Quebec, to European literary modernism.
Check out the complete list of June releases below!
Aesthetic Dilemmas
Encounters with Art in Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s Literary Modernism
Hugo von Hofmannsthal is frequently portrayed as an aloof writer, out of step with modern sensibilities. Aesthetic Dilemmas re-evaluates his place in twentieth-century European Modernism by arguing that his work is not escapist but instead engages the consciousness of readers through dynamic encounters with works of art.
Basic Income and a Just Society
Policy Choices for Canada’s Social Safety Net
Basic Income and a Just Society provides a comprehensive evaluation of basic income and its application as a primary social policy tool. In examining the key arguments advanced by proponents of a basic income, contributors take a hard look at Canada’s social safety net and its strengths and weaknesses, and they propose a different path forward – one that entails a full paradigm shift in social policy and rests on providing the bases of self- and social respect to all Canadians.
Contemporary Federalist Thought in Quebec
Historical Perspectives
Contemporary Federalist Thought in Quebec explores the federalist thought that shaped the constitutional debate in Quebec. Examining historical perspectives from 1950 to the present, the volume draws portraits of the key federalist actors, compares their outlooks, and examines the ties that bind them to Quebec’s sense of nationalism.
Countercurrents
Women’s Movements in Postwar Montreal
Countercurrents rewrites the history of post-war feminism in Montreal by incorporating parallel social movements, such as Red Power, Black Power, and Quebec liberation, into the larger narrative of the women’s movement. Case studies compare and reflect on the histories and political work of various feminist groups in Quebec.
Fictions of Gender
Women, Femininity, and the Zionist Imagination
Fictions of Gender explores how contemporary controversies surrounding Zionism and feminism are prefigured in the legacies of early Zionist women. Studying archival documents and writings from the first eighty years of the Zionist project, Zakai confronts the experiences of Zionist women with the sensibilities of contemporary global feminism.
Gender, Communications, and Reproductive Health in International Development
Amid a rise of challenges to the advancement of women’s rights, reproductive health is at the center of discussions of gender equality. Asking how communications are used to shape policy, Carolina Matos explores feminist and health NGOs from across the world and how they are improving discourse on reproductive health in the public sphere.
Small Stories of War
Children, Youth, and Conflict in Canada and Beyond
Small Stories of War offers important new knowledge about the lived experiences of children in wartime through case studies from Canada, Australia, the former Yugoslavia, Germany, Rwanda, and northern Uganda.
This book received publication support from the Canadian War Museum.
Touching Beauty
The Poetics of Kim Thúy
Touching Beauty is the first collection of critical essays on the work of Vietnamese-born Quebec author Kim Thúy. It examines the themes that have animated a literary career of global relevance and enduring value and encourages a deeper appreciation of her writing. Thúy contributes a previously unpublished poem and an extended interview.
