McGill-Queen's University Press Objectively Engaged Journalism
Book SynopsisA timely call for a new ethic of journalism engagement for today''s troubled media sphere, Objectively Engaged Journalism argues that media should be neither neutral nor partisan but engaged in protecting egalitarian democracy. It shows how journalists, professional or citizen, can be both objective in method and dedicated to improving a global public sphere toxic with disinformation, fake news, and extremism.Drawing from history, ethics, and current media issues, Stephen Ward rejects the ideals of neutrality and just the facts objectivity, showing how they are based on invalid dualistic thinking with deep roots in Western culture. He presents a theory of pragmatic objectivity and applies it to journalism. Journalism''s role in interpreting culture, he argues, needs a form of objectivity that embraces human strengths and limitations.Defining responsible journalism as situated, imperfect inquiry, Objectively Engaged Journalism is one of the first systematic Trade Review"Ward has a gift for writing books that are a coherent whole and he does so here to perfection. This book will become a watershed for all subsequent work on media ethics that is explicitly global." Clifford Christians, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

McGill-Queen's University Press Penal Servitude
Book SynopsisPenal Servitude is the first comprehensive study of the convict prison system that housed all those who were sentenced to penal servitude between 1853 and 1948, detailing the administration and evolution of the system, its creation, the building of the prison estate, and the experiences of prisoners and staff within it.Trade Review“There is no other comprehensive study of the convict prison system in England and Wales during this period. Helen Johnston, Barry Godfrey, and David Cox have played a leading role in linking government records with other primary sources to understand a system as a whole, and they put this approach to good use here. Penal Servitude makes a major contribution to the field and is sure to become the standard work on the subject.” Neil Davie, Université Lumière, Lyon, and author of The Penitentiary Ten: The Transformation of the English Prison, 1770–1850"This ambitious work aims to explain the origins, design and evolution of the convict prison system, how it worked and how it was experienced by the incarcerated. In this, it blends institutional and social history." Family & Community History“Penal Servitude is the first book-length treatment of the penal servitude sanction [that] foregrounds convicts’ lives and the creation of ‘whole-life’ histories. Drawing on innovative archival approaches to tell the story from above and below … the authors take pains to lay bare the nature of penal shift and its evolution through the years of the convict system, demonstrating the messiness and contingency inherent in its existence.” Labour / Le Travail

McGill-Queen's University Press To Make a Village Soviet
Book SynopsisEmily Baran explores why a powerful state singled out Jehovah’s Witness farmers for removal from society, arguing that what happened in Bila Tserkva demonstrates both the sheer ambition of state plans for the Sovietization of borderland communities and a minority religious community’s enduring resistance to secular, socialist ideals.Trade Review“In this well-written book, Emily Baran takes her readers to Soviet Ukraine in the first years after World War II, and the small town of Bila Tserkva on the border with Romania. This stimulating book will be a very valuable teaching aid in upper-level courses on the modern state, Soviet history, and contemporary religious history.” Nova Religio“Baran’s portrait of Sovietization in one village presents lessons that can be applied throughout the Soviet Union and enrich our understanding of the life and death of the Soviet experiment. This book also offers a fresh perspective on Ukraine’s Soviet past as questions about the enduring legacies of the USSR have taken on new meaning with Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. War and territorial annexation are no longer a thing of the past in Ukraine—the story of Bila Tserkva offers a timely look at the lived reality of resistance.” The Russian Review“Baran is a brilliant storyteller who manages a cast of historical actors in a way that does not feel overwhelming to the reader. Her ability to connect the “small story” with larger issues of power, human rights, and state-building is a model for students and scholars at any level. This gem of a book is valuable not only for its usefulness in the classroom, its insight into a fascinating case involving a minority faith community in the USSR, and its creative analysis, but also for its impressive contribution to the history of lived experiences in borderland areas.” *Canadian Slavonic Papers *

McGill-Queen's University Press Agent of Change My Life Fighting Terrorists
Book SynopsisHuda 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.Trade Review“A gripping, illuminating account of an accomplished intelligence officer’s battle against systemic discrimination at Canada’s spy service. Mukbil pulls aside the curtain and shows us the many roadblocks faced by racialized professionals. Rich in detail, this is an extraordinary and highly readable book.” Robert Fife, Globe and Mail bureau chief, Ottawa“Mukbil’s captivating memoir shows that love for one’s country must be sutured with the courage to speak the truth: a bravery both required and despised in Canadian national intelligence circles. She deftly navigates the complicated landscape of belonging in Canada and gives a defiant and resilient voice to the psychological toll of systemic racism.” Debra Thompson, author of The Long Road Home"Mukbil is a trailblazer in a secret world often dominated by men. Her powerful story combines an invaluable contribution to counterterrorism in Canada and Britain with a never-before-seen picture of spy agencies. It is utterly absorbing." Richard Kerbaj, author of The Secret History of the Five Eyes“After years of work in one of the country’s most opaque institutions, Mukbil offers the kind of candid prose on race, identity, and inclusion that’s rare to find on Canadian bookshelves. Straightforward and courageous, Agent of Change artfully unravels our deepest misconceptions about belonging in our country – and our world.” Erica Lenti, deputy editor, features, at Chatelaine

McGill-Queen's University Press New Songs for Orpheus
Book SynopsisIn New Songs for Orpheus, John Reibetanz updates Ovid’s poetry. His words showed him to be a person of deep empathy for natural, animal, and human worlds, and Reibetanz posits that Ovid would be eager to take account of all that we have learned about them in the past two thousand years.Trade Review“With these remarkable poems, John Reibetanz brings an ecopoetic sensibility sensibility to Ovid’s Myths of Metamorphosis, celebrating the “true metamorphosis” that occurs everywhere in the natural world, independent of the malign whims of gods and the selfish designs of humans. Working playfully, and playfully working, rich with music and wit, these poems extend our understanding of deep change. As usual with Reibetanz, imaginative reach blends with probing intelligence. Ovid supplies an ancient springboard for a poetic investigation of transformation that – given our circumstances – could not be more timely.” Don Mackay“What delight! John Reibetanz elegantly updates Ovid in poems that reach beyond encounters between gods and mortals to haul the more-than-human world to our attention. Here’s Orpheus listening “[f]or a change … / to the other / musicians” as he sinks into and through grief’s underworld where he “picks up his lyre again / and sings the song of breath … “ From these depths Orpheus sings the world, and the world sings back with specifics of plumage and blossom, feather and stone, flight and appetite — details brilliant and till now hardly noticed. Here are songs that bear witness to the matter we are and its ongoingness: “… everything alive is borne / on a river of matter / changing from one identity / to another …” Fluent, riverine, rife with mortality and mutability, Reibetanz’s poems tumble, shift, flow, ring changes, while time expands and contracts and expands again. If Ovid is the spring from which these songs rise, the Tao is the deeper current they ride.” Maureen Scott Harris“Reibetanz takes moments from Metamorphoses and creates rich natural worlds around them, often linking the power of myth with the power of animals.” Quill & Quire"This brilliant and vibrant collection draws us into the old and makes it new, singing to us to find our empathy with nature before that vibrancy of the earth is lost by our own doing."

McGill-Queen's University Press Eating Like a Mennonite Food and Community
Book SynopsisMarlene Epp demonstrates that the meaning of Mennonite food lies within the multiple identities of the eater. Spanning the globe, from the nineteenth century to present day, Eating Like a Mennonite concludes that Mennonite food identities develop from adoptions, adaptations, and attitudes in diverse times and places.Trade Review“While food studies is an increasingly popular field of research, there remains a continued tendency to neglect domestic food production. Eating Like a Mennonite makes a major contribution by examining these intimate and quotidian acts of nourishment. Moreover, it is a delight to read, and made me hungry for the foods of my childhood.” Janis Thiessen, University of Winnipeg“Written in lively prose, Eating Like a Mennonite provides specific angles of entry into the broader topic of Mennonite self-identity and culture in a global context. Marlene Epp takes care to explore the foodways of Mennonites in such different regions of the world as Eastern Europe, India, China, Paraguay, Pennsylvania and Waterloo, Ontario. With each example, she traces foods prepared and packed for the journey, and how they come to represent comfort amidst discomfort, and familiarity in unfamiliar circumstances.” Nathalie Cooke, McGill University

McGill-Queen's University Press Paths of Pollen
Book SynopsisAs human actions erase habitats and raise the planet’s temperature, plant diversity is dropping and a growing list of pollinators faces decline or even extinction. Paths of Pollen chronicles pollen’s vital mission to spread plant genes, from the prehistoric past to the present, while looking towards an ecologically uncertain future.Trade Review“Stephen Humphrey is a highly accomplished, and engaging storyteller. In the manner of Carl Sagan or Aldo Leopold, he calls attention to little-known or misunderstood topics, and presents these to an often science-hostile public. Paths of Pollen advances the cause of pollinator and plant conservation for their benefits to all humankind and wildlife, now and in the future. I couldn’t put it down.” Stephen Buchmann, author of *What a Bee Knows: Exploring the Thoughts, Memories, and Personalities of Bees *“With Paths of Pollen, Humphrey has extended an accessible invitation to consider these relationships at multiple scales, from the wide view of global environmental activism to the microscopic perspective of a grain of pollen.” *Montreal Review of Books *
