NONFICTION MonthSeptember BELONGINGTITLE TheSubtitle Enigma of Citizenship TheAUTHOR 2014 CBCNAME Massey Lectures ADRIENNE CLARKSON LeadFrom quoteone of — Canada’s credit most respected public figures comes a thoughtful look at the future of global citizenship. Never has the world experienced greater movement of peoples from one country to another, from one continent to another. These seismic shifts in population have brought about huge challenges for all societies. Do these changes in popula- tion present the possibility of a new model for the structures of society? Does the Canadian model, which emphasizes values, immigration, parliamen- tary democracy, and the rule of law, make a fitting model for countries who still define themselves by religious difference or racial integrity? Can belong- ing encompass difference, dependence, and dislike, while upholding fundamental human rights? These timely and controversial subjects are at the very essence of former Governor General and bestselling author Adrienne Clarkson’s 2014 Massey Lectures, Belonging: The Enigma of Citizen- ship. Clarkson masterfully chronicles the evolution POLITICAL SCIENCE / Civics of citizenship throughout the ages: from the genesis 978-1-77089-837-0 of the idea of citizenship in pre-history, to Aristotle 5 x 8 • 272 pages and the Greeks, to the medieval structures of guilds Trade paperback • $19.95 and class; from the warring factions of the French 978-1-77089-839-4 revolution, to Icelandic law-making tradition, and ePub • $16.95 present-day modern citizenship based on values, consensus, and pluralism.

In 2010, bestselling author Kathleen Winter took a journey across the storied Northwest Passage, among marine scientists, historians, ar- chaeologists, anthropologists, and curious passen- gers. From Greenland to Baffin Island and all along the passage, Winter bears witness to the new math of the North, where polar bears mate with grizzlies, creating a new hybrid species; where the earth is on the cusp of yielding so much buried treasure that five nations stand poised to claim sovereignty of the land; and where the local Inuit population struggles to navigate the tension between taking part in the new global economy and defending their traditional way of life. Throughout the journey she also learns from fellow passengers Aaju Peter and Bernadette Dean, who teach her about Inuit society, past and pres- ent. She bonds with Nathan Rogers, son of the late Canadian icon Stan Rogers, who died in a plane crash when Nathan was nearly four years old. Nathan’s quest is to take the route his father never travelled, except in his beloved song “The North- west Passage,” which he performs both as anthem and lament at sea.

  • Strange Heaven
    189CanLitSummer2006-5 10/4/06 10:24 Page 85 Herb Wyile As For Me and Me Arse Strategic Regionalism and the Home Place in Lynn Coady’s Strange Heaven The narrative of a sensitive soul struggling to survive in a claustrophobic small town is so ubiquitous in Canadian literature as to be practically consonant with it. Think of, for starters, Margaret Laurence’s Manawaka novels, W.O. Mitchell’s Who Has Seen the Wind and (perhaps the pinnacle of the genre) Sinclair Ross’s As For Me and My House. That claustrophobia, furthermore, is often compounded by the dynamics of the dysfunctional family, as in Martha Ostenso’s Wild Geese, Alden Nowlan’s Various Persons Named Kevin O’Brien, and, more recently, Lynn Coady’s Strange Heaven (1998). However, as much as we might be inclined to read such preoccupations as defining the larger national literary culture, those preoccupations (as with so much else in Canada) are shot through with regional differences that complicate the unity that such shared concerns suggest. Coady’s novel, for example, which is about a Cape Breton teenager who returns from a spell in a psychiatric ward to her “cuckoo’s nest” of a family after giving up her baby for adoption, can certainly be seen as a sig- nificant and overlooked comic addition to these Canadian specialties. However, whereas typically the critique of the small town implicitly invites the critical gaze of the outsider, Strange Heaven turns that gaze back on the observer in a fashion that foregrounds the cultural politics between centre and periphery.

Eat at home and buy the books. Jack Rabinovitch1 Founded in 1994 by Jack Rabinovitch, the Giller Prize was established to honour Rabinovitch’s late wife, the journalist Doris Giller, who had died from cancer a year earlier.2 Since its inception, the prize has served to recognize excellence in Canadian English-language fiction, including both novels and short stories. Initially the award was endowed to provide an annual cash prize of $25,000.3 In 2005, the Giller Prize partnered with Scotiabank to create the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Under the new arrangement, the annual purse doubled in size to $50,000, with $40,000 going to the winner and $2,500 going to each of four additional finalists.4 Beginning in 2008, $50,000 was given to the winner and $5,000 * Andrew Irvine holds the position of Professor and Head of Economics, Philosophy and Political Science at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan.

  • Le Traitement Du Passé Dans Trois Romans Québécois Contemporains
    Université de Montréal En marge de l’histoire : le traitement du passé dans trois romans québécois contemporains par Stéphanie Paradis Département des littératures de langue française Faculté des arts et des sciences Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de M. A. en Littératures de langue française Janvier 2018 © Stéphanie Paradis, 2018 Résumé Ce mémoire porte sur le traitement du passé dans trois romans québécois contemporains, La constellation du lynx de Louis Hamelin, Pourquoi Bologne d’Alain Farah et Jonas de mémoire d’Anne Élaine Cliche. Ces trois récits partagent une obsession pour le passé qui pousse les narrateurs à enquêter sur des épisodes problématiques et méconnus que les textes explorent tout en les tenant à distance. Plusieurs procédés formels contribuent à créer cet écart et à maintenir un décalage avec le passé dont l’accès est toujours indirect. L’analyse de la construction de la narration et des narrateurs montre comment ces divers degrés d’éloignement demeurent dynamiques. Les textes installent également une distance dans leurs usages du passé par le recul qu’ils prennent par rapport aux faits établis et aux idées préconçues. Les passés explorés sont interprétés, transformés par la fiction qui en propose une relecture. L’hypothèse de ce mémoire, nourrie par la sociocritique, concerne le rôle de la fiction et sa capacité à éclairer des aspects du passé qui restent inaccessibles à d’autres discours, notamment à l’Histoire qui cherche à éliminer la subjectivité. Mots-clés : passé, histoire, sociocritique, littérature québécoise contemporaine, La constellation du lynx, Pourquoi Bologne, Jonas de mémoire i Abstract This thesis focuses on the representation of the « past tense » in three contemporary Quebec novels, La constellation du lynx by Louis Hamelin, Pourquoi Bologne by Alain Farah and Jonas de mémoire by Anne Élaine Cliche.

  • Canada's Façade of Equality: Austin Clarke's More Mary Ma
    Ma, “Canada’s Façade of Equality” 11 Canada’s Façade of Equality: Austin Clarke’s More Mary Ma Canada is known as a haven for immigrants. Canadian migrants, their children, and their grandchildren live in the diaspora, a physical community who “acknowledge that ‘the old country’ […] always has some claim on their loyalty and emotions” (Cohen qtd. McLeod 237) and carry a fractured sense of identity through “living in one country but looking across time and space to another” (McLeod 237). Canada prides itself as a multicultural nation that champions inclusivity, diversity, and equality. However, it seems Canada’s often glorified multiculturalism is little more than “a media mask, […] a public advertising campaign” (McLeod 262). This façade seems to be promoted by Canadian media, government, and society to perpetuate an illusion of equality while concurrently “ignor[ing] the underlying and continuing inequalities and prejudices that blight the lives of diasporic peoples” (McLeod 262). In the novel More, Austin Clarke incisively exposes the implicit systemic and societal racism festering in Canada, while also exposing the psychological complexities of living in the diaspora. In More, Clarke unmasks Canada’s systemic discrimination which has long allowed Canadian employers to retain power while subjugating vulnerable immigrant workers. Clarke delineates this systemic racism by describing the limited employment opportunities immigrants, especially Black immigrants, have in Canada. In the novel, Bertram is an apprentice mechanic in Barbados. Upon his arrival in Canada, he earnestly pursues a job in his specialized field. However, “after two months of single-minded perusal of the pages that advertised hundreds of jobs, skilled and unskilled, that related to repairing cars” (Clarke 67), Bertram abandons his dream.

  • Oneworld Readers' Guide
    Oneworld Readers’ Guide The Orenda Joseph Boyden 1640s, The New World In the remote winter landscape a brutal massacre and the kidnapping of a young Iroquois girl violently re-ignites a deep rift between two tribes. The girl’s captor, Bird, is one of the Huron Nation’s great warriors and statesmen. Years have passed since the murder of his family, and yet they are never far from his mind. In the girl, Snow Falls, he recognizes the ghost of his lost daughter, but as he fights for her heart and allegiance, small battles erupt into bigger wars as both tribes face a new, more dangerous threat from afar. Travelling with the Huron is Christophe, a charismatic missionary who has found his calling among the tribe and devotes himself to learning and understanding their customs and language. An emissary from distant lands, he brings much more than his faith to this new world, with its natural beauty and riches. As these three souls dance with each other through intricately woven acts of duplicity, their social, political and spiritual worlds collide - and a new nation rises from a world in flux. About the Author Joseph Boyden’s first novel, Three Day Road, was selected for the Today Show Book Club, and it won the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize, the Amazon.ca/Books in Canada First Novel Award, as well as numerous others. His second novel, Through Black Spruce, was awarded the Scotiabank Giller Prize and named the Canadian Booksellers Association Book of the Year; it also earned him the CBA’s Author of the Year Award.
