Book SynopsisExplains contemporary defence decisions and Canada's support, or lack thereof, for NATO. This study documents and analyses the convictions of influential Canadians, explains why there were such varied degrees of support for NATO, and shows why leaders either supported or rejected nuclear weapons and the stationing of the Canadian Forces in Europe.Trade Review"From an impressive range of sources, Dr Simpson not only makes the general case for the framework of analysis which she describes but also effectively demonstrates its applicability to an evaluation of the policies of the Diefenbaker Government. The framework for this study is distinct and Simpson's approach sets it apart from other published accounts." Hector Mackenzie, Senior Department Historian, Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade "A good review of the issue and attitudes/beliefs that played a part in the policy-making process on the acquisition of nuclear weapons' capabilities for the Canadian Armed Forces in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Simpson does an effective job in portraying the link between the beliefs of selected policy makers and their position on the issues under debate."

McGill-Queen's University Press The Rediscovered Self
Book SynopsisIn a series of thematically linked essays, Ronald Niezen discusses the ways new rights standards and networks of activist collaboration facilitate indigenous claims about culture, adding coherence to their histories, institutions, and group qualities. Drawing on historical, legal, and ethnographic material on aboriginal communities in northern Canada, Niezen illustrates the ways indigenous peoples worldwide are identifying and acting upon new opportunities to further their rights and identities. He shows how - within the constraints of state and international legal systems, activist lobbying strategies, and public ideas and expectations - indigenous leaders are working to overcome the injuries of imposed change, political exclusion, and loss of identity. Taken together, the essays provide a critical understanding of the ways in which people are seeking cultural justice while rearticulating and, at times, re-dignifying the collective self. The Rediscovered Self shows how, through the prTrade Review"The Rediscovered Self cuts across a number of different perspectives, both those of activists and academics, and Niezen is well positioned to bring these often opposing positions together with a significant degree of empathy for both - a poignant and welcome addition to the literature on Indigenous studies." H. Glen Penny, University of Iowa "Niezen undertakes considerable challenges in presenting oftentimes difficult theoretical positions regarding the way in which peoples and nations constitute their collective selves/identity in light of challenges to those rights of autonomy. The Rediscovered Self is tremendously insightful and extremely well-written." Naomi Adelson, York University
