Sex and the Revitalized City

Gender, Condominium Development, and Urban Citizenship
Leslie Kern
This original study of the gendering processes

occurring in the neoliberal city is a significant
addition to scholarly debate on cities and gender.
Empirically grounded in the intricacies of the condo
market in Toronto, it both adds to, and updates, the
pathbreaking work around gendered critical urban
analysis. An accessible and incisive text that will no
doubt instigate future discussions.
– Loretta Lees, Cities Group, Department of
Geography, King’s College, London
When a recent wave of condominium development

overtook Toronto, women emerged as powerful
consumers, and reports claimed that home ownership
was offering young, single women freedom, financial
independence, and personal security. Sex and the
Revitalized City examines the truth of these claims by
exploring the phenomenon from the perspective of
women condo owners and planners and developers.
This fresh perspective on urban revitalization reveals

Public Space and Social Memory in Vancouver
Adrienne L. Burk
What is the meaning of public monuments? In

seeking answers to this innocuous-seeming question,
Adrienne Burk has produced a fascinating study of
urban space, social memory and community history.
Burk is not an academic who remains in the ivory
tower; the value of her book is that she is down on
the sidewalk: observing, talking, recording, reflecting.
– Daniel Francis, Vancouver historian, author, and
editor of Encyclopedia of British Columbia
In the late 1990s, Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside

became the setting for three monuments – Crab
Park Boulder, Marker of Change, and Standing with
Courage, Strength and Pride. The monuments were
grassroots initiatives that challenged the norms
of civic art by claiming a place in public space for
society’s most vulnerable groups, and each figured in
debates about many kinds of violence. Emphasizing
the resilience and agency of artists, activists, and

Being Again of One Mind

Oneida Women and the Struggle for Decolonization
Lina Sunseri
Sunseri provides a beautifully woven methodological

framework that answers first to Oneida traditions
and then to sociological or feminist ones. This is
an important example for other scholars who wish
to move beyond a critique of western knowledge
methodologies and into action.
– From the Foreword by Patricia A. Monture
Being Again of One Mind combines a critical reading

of feminist literature on nationalism with the
narratives of Oneida women of various generations to
reveal that some indigenous women view nationalism
in the form of decolonization as a way to restore
traditional gender balance and well-being to their
own lives and communities. These insights challenge
mainstream feminist ideas about the masculine bias
of Western theories of nation and about the dangers
of nationalist movements that idealize women’s
so-called traditional role, questioning whether they
apply to indigenous women.

Edited by Cheryl Suzack, Shari M. Huhndorf, Jeanne Perreault, and Jean Barman
Indigenous feminism goes beyond the constructs

of women of colour and postcolonial feminism
to engage in crucial issues of cultural identity,
nationalism, and decolonization that are particular
to indigenous contexts. This collection looks at
developments in indigenous feminist culture,
activism, and politics to explore how indigenous
women are creating a space within feminism for a
theory and practice specific to their interests.

History
Taking Medicine
Women’s Healing Work and Colonial Contact in Southern Alberta,
1880–1930
Kristin Burnett
Hunters, medicine men, and missionaries continue

to dominate images and narratives of the West,
even though historians have recognized women’s
role as colonizer and colonized since the 1980s.
Kristin Burnett helps to correct this imbalance
by presenting colonial medicine as a gendered
phenomenon. Although the imperial eye focused
on medicine men, Aboriginal women in the Treaty
7 region served as healers and caregivers – to
their own people and to settler society – until
the advent of settler-run hospitals and nursing
stations. By revealing Aboriginal and settler
women’s contributions to health care, Taking
Medicine challenges traditional understandings
of colonial medicine in the contact zone.

The Business of Women

Marriage, Family, and Entrepreneurship in British Columbia, 1901–51
Melanie Buddle
Buddle offers a unique and important contribution to

Canadian history ... She seeks not only to incorporate
women into the history of business but also to
reconceptualize business history itself by asking
new questions about gender, business, and the
family. Business history needs to undergo a gender
“revolution.” This book will promote such rethinking
of the field.

Misconceptions: Unmarried Motherhood and

Awfully Devoted Women

Lesbian Lives in Canada, 1900–65
Cameron Duder
Awfully Devoted Women tells the awfully interesting

stories of two groups of Canadian women – upper-
middle-class professionals from the first half of the
twentieth century and lower-middle class women in
the postwar period – who fill in the gaps between
romantic friendship and the working-class bar
culture. By showing us women who kept their desire
and love for women private, yet could locate others
like themselves, Duder helps to transform our
understanding of the closet.
– Leila J. Rupp, professor of feminist studies at the
University of California, Santa Barbara
The lives of many lesbians prior to 1965 remain

cloaked in mystery. Historians have turned the
spotlight on upper-middle-class “romantic friends”
and on working-class butch and femme women,
but the lives of the lower-middle-class majority
remain in the shadows. Awfully Devoted Women

The Canadian War on Queers

National Security as Sexual Regulation
Gary Kinsman and Patrizia Gentile
A landmark book in the study of Canadian state

security apparatuses and an important contribution
to Canadian history and LGBT studies.
– Barry Adam, author of The Rise of a Gay and
Lesbian Movement
From the 1950s to the late 1990s, agents of the

state spied on, interrogated, and harassed gays and
lesbians in Canada, employing social ideologies and
other practices to construct their targets as threats
to society. Based on official security documents
and interviews with gays, lesbians, civil servants,
and high-ranking officials, this path-breaking book
discloses acts of state repression and forms of
resistance that raise questions about just whose
national security was being protected. Passionate and
personalized, this account of how the state used the
ideology of national security to wage war on its own
people offers ways of understanding, and resisting,
contemporary conflicts such as the “war on terror.”

Parity Democracy
Women’s Political Representation in Fifth Republic France
Jocelyne Praud and Sandrine Dauphin
In 1999 and 2000, France adopted laws to ensure

equal access to elected office for women and men.
Parity Democracy explores the evolution and
influence of France’s gender parity reforms, from
their historical roots to their recent extension beyond
the electoral sphere. Praud and Dauphin show
that although these reforms have not dramatically
boosted women’s representation in the National
Assembly, they have set in motion a process of
feminization in the electoral sphere that bodes well
for the future of parity democracy.

Solidarities beyond Borders

Transnationalizing Women’s Movements
Edited by Pascale Dufour, Dominique Masson, and Dominique Caouette
Solidarities beyond Borders will be a key reference

for students and scholars – for the combination of
the feminist international relations literature with
the social movement literature, for the usefulness of
the case studies, and for the discussions about what
constitutes transnationalism.
– Caroline Andrew, co-editor of Electing a Diverse
Canada: The Representation of Immigrants,
Minorities, and Women
Through theoretical discussions and empirical

examples, Solidarities beyond Borders demonstrates
the creativity and dynamism of transnational
feminist and women’s groups around the world.
These timely case studies from North America,
Latin America, and Southeast Asia explore the
benefits and challenges of extending ties beyond
national borders and disciplinary boundaries.

Unions, Equity, and the Path to Renewal

Edited by Janice R. Foley and Patricia L. Baker
The subject that this book takes up is critical, as trade

unions are now moving away from their traditional
support base – white, working class men. With half the
female population over age fifteen working outside the
home, there is a new constituency for unions.
– Judith Haiven, author of “Union Response to Pay
Equity: A Cautionary Tale,” in Equity, Diversity and
Canadian Labour
This book brings together a distinguished group of

union activists and scholars who trace how traditional
union cultures, practices, and structures have eroded
solidarity and activism and created an equity deficit.
Informed by a feminist vision of unions as instruments
of social justice, the contributors argue that equity
within unions is the only way to reposition organized
labour as a central institution in workers’ lives.
