In considering the connections between literature and lived experience, this book contemplates four key questions at the heart of Indigenous kinship traditions: How do we learn to be human? How do we become good relatives? How do we become good ancestors? How do we learn to live together? Blending personal narrative and broader historical and cultural analysis with close readings of key creative and critical texts, Justice argues that Indigenous writers engage with these questions in part to challenge settler-colonial policies and practices that have targeted Indigenous connections to land, history, family, and self. More importantly, Indigenous writers imaginatively engage the many ways that communities and individuals have sought to nurture these relationships and project them into the future. This provocative volume challenges readers to critically consider and rethink their assumptions about Indigenous literature, history, and politics while never forgetting the emotional connections of our shared humanity and the power of story to effect personal and social change. Written with a generalist reader firmly in mind, but addressing issues of interest to specialists in the field, this book welcomes new audiences to Indigenous literary studies while offering more seasoned readers a renewed appreciation for these transformative literary traditions.

Fall / Winter 2015 1 ANTISEMITISM A History of Antisemitism in Canada Ira Robinson A History of Antisemitism in Canada presents a stateof-the-art account of the phenomenon. It builds on the foundation of numerous previous studies on antisemitism in general and on antisemitism in Canada in particular, and builds on the growing body of scholarship in Canadian Jewish studies. It attempts to understand the ways in which antisemitism has impacted Canada as a whole, and examines most especially its influence on the development of Canada’s Jewish community. No Jews Need Apply Print October 2015 200 pages 6x9 978-1-77112-166-8 paper $38.99 ebook available The book gives readers the tools to understand why antisemitism is such a controversial subject. It acquaints them with the ambiguities inherent in the historical relationship between Jews and Christians and shows these ambiguities in play in the unfolding historical relationship between Jews and Canadians of other religions and ethnicities. It examines present relationships in light of history and, most particularly, considers the influence of antisemitism on the social, religious, and political history of the Canadian Jewish community. This book is the first full-length study of the phenomenon of antisemitism in Canada. Although numerous books and articles are devoted to the subject, this book is the first to present a comprehensive account of antisemitism and its effect on the Jewish community of Canada, making it valuable to students and scholars of Canadian history, Canadian Jewish studies, Canadian ethnic studies, and antisemitism. Ira Robinson is a professor of Judaic studies and Interim Chair, Institute for Canadian Jewish Studies, Concordia University. He received his Ph.D. at Harvard University. He has taught at Concordia since 1979 and was the Chair of its Department of Religion. He is president of the Canadian Society for Jewish Studies and past president of the Association for Canadian Jewish Studies. 2 www.wlupress.wlu.ca HUMAN RIGHTS Human Rights in Canada A History Dominique Clément This book shows how human rights became the primary language for social change in Canada and how a single decade became the locus for that emergence. The author argues that the 1970s was a critical moment in human rights history – one that transformed political culture, social movements, law, and foreign policy. Human Rights in Canada is one of the first sociological studies of human rights in Canada. It explains that human rights are a distinct social practice, and it documents those social conditions that made human rights significant at a particular historical moment. A central theme in this book is that human rights derive from society rather than abstract legal principles. Therefore, we can identify the boundaries and limits of Canada’s rights culture at different moments in our history. Until the 1970s, Canadians framed their grievances with reference to Christianity or British justice rather than human rights. A historicalsociological approach to human rights reveals how rights are historically contingent, and how new rights claims are built upon past claims. This book explores governments’ tendency to suppress rights in periods of perceived emergency; how Canada’s rights culture was shaped by state formation; how social movements have advanced new rights claims; the changing discourse of rights in debates surrounding the constitution; how the international human rights movement shaped domestic politics and foreign policy; and much more. In addition to drawing on secondary literature in law, history, sociology, and political science, this study looked to published government documents, litigation and case law, archival research, newspapers, opinion polls, and materials produced by non-governmental organizations.

Fall / Winter 2015 3 INDIGENOUS STUDIES Learn, Teach, Challenge Approaches to Indigenous Literatures Deanna Reder and Linda M. Morra, editors This is a collection of classic and newly commissioned essays about the study of Indigenous literatures in North America. The contributing scholars include some of the most venerable Indigenous theorists, among them Gerald Vizenor (Anishinaabe), Jeannette Armstrong (Okanagan), Craig Womack (Creek), Kimberley Blaeser (Anishinaabe), Emma LaRocque (Métis), Daniel Heath Justice (Cherokee), Janice Acoose (Saulteaux), and Jo-Ann Episkenew (Métis). Also included are settler scholars foundational to the field, including Helen Hoy, Margery Fee, and Renate Eigenbrod. Among the newer voices are both settler and Indigenous theorists such as Sam McKegney, Keavy Martin, and Niigaanwewidam Sinclair.

Womack The volume is organized into five subject areas: Position, the necessity of considering where you come from and who you are; Imagining Beyond Images and Myths, a history and critique of circulating images of Indigenousness; Debating Indigenous Literary Approaches; Contemporary Concerns, a consideration of relevant issues; and finally Classroom Considerations, pedagogical concerns particular to the field. Each section is introduced by an essay that orients the reader and provides ideological context. While anthologies of literary criticism have focused on specific issues related to this burgeoning field, this volume is the first to offer comprehensive perspectives on the subject. Deanna Reder (Cree-Métis) is an associate professor in the Departments of First Nations Studies and English at Simon Fraser University. She serves as editor for the Indigenous Studies series at WLU Press and was one of the founding members of the Indigenous Literary Studies Association. She teaches and publishes on Indigenous theory, life writing, pop fiction, and gender and sexuality. Linda M. Morra is an associate professor in the Department of English at Bishop’s University. With Deanna Reder, she co-edited Troubling Tricksters: Revisioning Critical Conversations (WLU Press, 2010). 4 www.wlupress.wlu.ca INDIGENOUS STUDIES Arts of Engagement Taking Aesthetic Action In and Beyond Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission Dylan Robinson and Keavy Martin, editors Arts of Engagement focuses on the role that music, film, visual art, and Indigenous cultural practices play in and beyond Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission on Indian Residential Schools. Contributors here examine the impact of aesthetic and sensory experience in residential school history, at TRC national and community events, and in artwork and exhibitions not affiliated with the TRC. Using the framework of “aesthetic action,” the essays expand the frame of aesthetics to include visual, aural, and kinetic sensory experience, and question the ways in which key components of reconciliation such as apology and witnessing have social and political effects for residential school survivors, intergenerational survivors, and settler publics. This volume makes an important contribution to the discourse on reconciliation in Canada by examining how aesthetic and sensory interventions offer alternative forms of political action and healing. These forms of aesthetic action encompass both sensory appeals to empathize and invitations to join together in alliance and new relationships as well as refusals to follow the normative scripts of reconciliation. Such refusals are important in their assertion of new terms for conciliation, terms that resist the imperatives of reconciliation as a form of resolution. Print February 2016 315 pages 24 colour illus.; 2 music items 6x9 Indigenous Studies series 978-1-77112-169-9 paper $39.99 ebook available This collection charts new ground by detailing the aesthetic grammars of reconciliation and conciliation. The authors document the efficacies of the TRC for the various Indigenous and settler publics it has addressed, and consider the future aesthetic actions that must be taken in order to move beyond what many have identified as the TRC’s political limitations. Dylan Robinson is a Stó:lō scholar who holds the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Arts at Queen’s University. His research focuses upon the sensory politics of Indigenous activism and the arts, and questions how Indigenous rights and settler colonialism are embodied and spatialized in public space. His current project documents the history of contemporary Indigenous public art across North America. Keavy Martin is an associate professor in the Department of English and Film Studies at the University of Alberta. Her research interests revolve around Indigenous literatures and literary theory, with a focus on Inuit literature and performance; Indigenous research methodologies; Indigenous languages; Indigenous literary nationalism and literary history; Aboriginal rights, treaties, and land claims; and the concept and practice of reconciliation. Stories in a New Skin: Approaches to Inuit Literature won the 2012 Gabrielle Roy Prize.

The contributors draw on literary theory, visual studies, and cultural history to ask why and how Canadian cartoonists have become so prominent in the international market for comic books based on real-life experiences. The essays explore the highly varied visual styles and auto/ biographical storytelling techniques of Canadian cartoonists both well known (Chester Brown, Seth, and Julie Doucet) and emerging (Sarah Leavitt, Scott Chantler, Ho Che Anderson, and David Alexander Robertson). Canadian Graphic also considers the role of graphic life narratives in reimagining the national past, from Indigenous–settler relations to both world wars to Quebec’s Quiet Revolution. The editors argue that no single stylistic or thematic school of Canadian graphic life narratives exists, even as these works share a concern with the spectacular vulnerability of the self. Contributors use a range of approaches and methodologies to analyze the political, aesthetic, and narrative tensions embedded in these works between self and other, memory and history, individual and collective. An original contribution to the study of auto/biography, alternative comics, and Canadian print culture, Canadian Graphic proposes new ways of reading the intersection of comics and auto/ biography both within and across national boundaries. Candida Rifkind is an associate professor in the Department of English, University of Winnipeg. She published Comrades and Critics: Women, Literature, and the Left in 1930s Canada (2009) and has chapters on graphic life narratives in Material Cultures in Canada (WLU Press, 2015), Canadian Literature and Cultural Memory (2014), and the journals Biography, International Journal of Comic Art, and Canadian Review of American Studies. Linda Warley specializes in Canadian life writing, including texts by First Nations and Métis authors. She has a recent chapter on John Gallant and Seth’s Bannock, Beans and Black Tea in Canadian Literature and Cultural Memory (2014). She is co-editor, with Marlene Kadar, Jeanne Perreault, and Susanna Egan of Tracing the Autobiographical (WLU Press, 2005) and, with Jeanne Perreault and Marlene Kadar, of Photographs, Histories, and Meanings (2009). www.wlupress.wlu.ca AUTO/BIOGRAPHY | MEMOIR Wait Time A Memoir of Cancer Kenneth Sherman When poet and essayist Kenneth Sherman was diagnosed with cancer, he began keeping a notebook of observations that blossomed into this powerful memoir. With incisive and evocative language, Sherman presents a clear-eyed view of what the cancer patient feels and thinks. His narrative voice is personal but not confessional, practical but not cold, thoughtful and searching but not self-pitying or self-absorbed. The author’s wait time for surgery on a malignant tumour was exceptionally long and riddled with bureaucratic bumbling; thus he asks our health-care providers and administrators if our system cannot be made efficient and more humane. While he is honest about what is good and bad in our system, he is not stridently political or given to directing blame. His narrative is interwoven with engaging ruminations on the meaning of illness in society, and is peppered with references to other writers’ thoughts on the subject. A widely published poet, Sherman helps the reader understand the deep connection between disease and creativity – the ways in which we write out of our suffering. Wait Time will be of special interest to anyone facing a serious illness as well as to health-care providers, social workers, and psychologists working in the field. Its thoughtful observations on health, life priorities, time, and mortality will make it of interest to all readers.

Rothbauer, Kjell Ivar Skjerdingstad, Lynne (E.F.) McKechnie, and Knut Oterholm, editors This book is about the experience of reading – what reading feels like, how it makes people feel, how people read and under what conditions, what drives people to read, and, conversely, what halts the individual in the pursuit of the pleasures of reading. The authors consider reading in all of its richness as they explore readers’ relationships with diverse textual and digital forms. This edited volume is divided into three sections: Theory, Practice, and Politics. The first provides insights into ways of seeing, thinking, and conceptualizing the experience of reading. The second features a variety of individual and social practices of reading. The third explores the political and ethical aspects of the reading experience, raising questions about the role that reading plays in democracy and civic participation.

Stewart Hospital ships filled the harbour of Le Havre as the 75th Mississauga Battalion arrived on 13 August 1916. Those soldiers who survived would spend almost three years in a tiny corner of northeastern France and northwestern Belgium (Flanders), where many of their comrades still lie. And they would serve in many of the most horrific battles of that long, bloody conflict – Saint Eloi, the Somme, Arras, Vimy, Hill 70, Lens, Passchendaele, Amiens, Drocourt-Quéant, Canal du Nord, Cambrai, and Valenciennes. This book tells the story of the 75th Battalion (later the Toronto Scottish Regiment) and the five thousand men who formed it – most from Toronto – from all walks of life. They included professionals, university graduates, white- and blue-collar workers, labourers, and the unemployed, some illiterate. They left a comfortable existence in the prosperous, strongly pro-British provincial capital for life in the trenches of France and Flanders. Tommy Church, mayor of Toronto from 1915 to 1921, sought to include his city’s name in the unit’s name because of the many city officials and local residents who served in it. Three years later Church accepted the 75th’s now heavily emblazoned colours for safekeeping at City Hall from Lieutenant-Colonel Colin Harbottle, who returned with his bloodied but successful survivors. The author pulls no punches in recounting their labours, triumphs, and travails.

He writes on influences, literary and local; he writes of rural Ontario, attempting to comprehend a deeply personal family violence; he stitches together lines and tall tales and fables from his life and the stories that float around the ethos of his variety of Ontario wilds. Hall’s isn’t a poetry carved into perfect diamond form, but a poetry whittled from scores of found materials to be pulled apart and rearranged. This volume is not so much a “selected poems” as it is a re-shuffle, a sampler, from the span of Hall’s published work. Guthrie Clothing: The Poetry of Phil Hall, a Selected Collage is a collage-selection by the author of previously published lines, stanzas, and poem-fragments reworked and pared down, patterned together into a new structure. An important new essay-poem by Hall appears at the end. In an encompassing introduction, rob mclennan explores Hall’s four-plus decades of bricolage. Phil Hall won the 2011 Governor General’s Literary Award for Poetry in English and the 2012 Trillium Book Award for his book of essay-poems Killdeer.

Much of the film is dedicated to fictional re-enactments of the killings. The text explores the aesthetic and political consequences springing from this modality of representation while comparing the film to other representative testimonial documentaries of genocides and extermination. This text looks at “Diefenbunkers” – eleven fallout shelters constructed in secret in the late 1950s to protect governments from a nuclear strike. One such site has recently been repurposed as “Canada’s Cold War Museum.” The text questions how the site constructs a “Cold War” for use in Canadian memory; questions the validity of considering the Diefenbunker as a memory site, following Pierre Nora’s seminal concept; and explores the role of fictions in the interactive exhibits.

Their perspectives ranged from cautious Christian feminism to Marxism-Leninism; the issues they addressed included everything from women’s fashion in the 1890s to lesbian sexuality; they worked in mainstream newspapers, public broadcasting, alternative publications, and documentary filmmaking. What unites them is Freeman’s sympathetic and deeply informed attention to how they all, in one way or another, sought to advance women’s interests while struggling to make room for themselves in the Canadian journalistic landscape.” — Gene Allen, Ryerson University “In seven lively biographical essays spanning more than a century, the reader encounters a cast of diverse women whose media work in print, over the airwaves, and on the screen challenged the status quo and advanced women’s issues of the day. These essays are sure to spark lively discussion in the classroom and beyond. No doubt those conversations will centre on questions of women and activism, both past and present, but they might also lead to reflection on what comes next as feminists ponder their media and their message.” — Linda Ambrose, Laurentian University, Sudbury, ON www.wlupress.wlu.ca RECENTLY PUBLISHED | PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED Critical Condition Creating Together Replacing Critical Thinking with Creativity Participatory, Community-Based, and Collaborative Arts Practices and Scholarship across Canada Patrick Finn Diane Conrad and Anita Sinner, editors Print May 2015 146 pages 6x9 978-1-77112-157-6 paper $19.99 ebook available Print March 2015 296 pages 53 colour illus., 14 b/w illus. 6x9 978-1-77112-023-4 paper $38.99 ebook available “[Finn] argues persuasively that critical thinking encourages the use of speech as a tool for dominance, control, and repression.

Critical essays stand alongside poetry as visual and editorial reminders of the cross-pollination required in thinking through both poetry and poetics. Indigenous people have long been represented as roaming “savages” without land title and without literature. Literary Land Claims analyzes works by writers who resist these dominant notions and posits that literary studies needs a new critical narrative, one that engages with the ideas of Indigenous writers and intellectuals.

Editing as Cultural Practice in Canada focuses on the varied and complex roles that editors have played in the production of literary and scholarly texts in Canada. Contributors offer analyses of the cultural and publishing politics of editorial practices that question inherited paradigms of literary and scholarly values, situating editing in the context of the growing number of collaborative projects in which Canadian scholars are engaged.

Davis articulates how Margaret Laurence addresses decolonization and nation building in 1950s Somalia and Ghana and 1960s and 1970s English-Canada. This book is an original interpretation of Laurence’s work, revealing how she displaces the simple notion that Canada is a sum total of different cultures and conceives Canada as a mosaic that is in flux and constituted through continually changing social relations. The essays gathered in Critical Collaborations constitute a call for collaboration and kinship across disciplinary, political, institutional, and community borders. Together, these essays reveal how the critical methodologies brought to bear on literary studies can both challenge and exceed disciplinary structures, presenting new forms of strategic transdisciplinarity that expand the possibilities of Canadian literary studies while emphasizing humility, complicity, and the limits of knowledge.

It focuses on a cluster of feminist publications that began as zines in the 1990s and, by tracking their successes and failures, provides insight into the politics of feminism’s recent past. The central focus of Reclaiming Canadian Bodies is the relationship between visual media, the construction of Canadian national identity, and notions of embodiment. Drawing upon rich empirical research and relevant theory, the contributors ask how particular representations of bodies are constructed and performed within mediated content, emphasizing the ways individuals destabilize national mainstream visual tropes, which in turn have the potential to destabilize nationalist messages.

Living Recovery takes readers through the journey of ELAR (emergence, loss, adaptation, and recovery) of interviewed youth living with mental health problems.

The essays examine a broad range of topics related to the general state of consecrated (or “religious” or “monastic”) life in contemporary Canadian Christian and Buddhist traditions. Almost every university in North America now has a religious studies department that offers courses on Western and Eastern religions as well as religion in general. Harold Coward addresses this and other shifts in this memoir of his forty-fiveyear career in the development of religious studies as a new academic field in Canada, while contemplating the future of religious studies as a truly interdisciplinary enterprise.

It suggests that the Canada–US border relationship has been both highly reflexive and hegemonic over time, and that such realities are embodied in the metaphorical images and texts that describe the Canada– US border over its history.

Alberta’s industries and government are currently at the heart of a global environmental debate, so this collection is valuable to those wishing to understand the natural and commercial forces at play. 24 Print 2014 296 pages 6x9 Environmental Humanities series 978-1-77112-002-9 paper $42.99 ebook available “These essays provide a valuable introduction to studies of the affective and emotional dimensions of those animated, theatrical, and documentary films that focus on nature–human relationships.… It is well worth consideration for classroom use in environmental and film studies programs.” – Bron Taylor www.wlupress.wlu.ca RECENTLY PUBLISHED | PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED Canada the Good Reverse Shots Marcel Martel Wendy Gay Pearson and Susan Knabe, editors A Short History of Vice since 1500 Indigenous Film and Media in an International Context Print 2014 196 pages 22 b/w illus., 2 tables 6x9 978-1-55458-947-0 paper $29.99 ebook available Print 2014 392 pages 16 b/w illus. 6x9 Film and Media Studies series 978-1-55458-335-5 paper $42.99 ebook available “A well-researched and informative discussion of the trajectory of Canadian morality and the significant actors who have sought to define it.... By giving his readers a sense of the long-term trajectory of Canadian moral beliefs and their practical application, Martel allows us to see how the regulatory compromises of today are likely to be just as transitory and provisional as those of the past.” – Literary Review of Canada Surviving Incarceration “From the chapter by Michael Greyeyes ‘He Who Dreams: Reflections on an Indigenous Life in Film’ to the healing humor from Drew Hayden Taylor … to pre-colonial representations in ‘Atanarjuat’ and ‘10 Canoes,’ this volume fascinates, educates, and leaves you wanting more.… Highly recommended for all Tribal Colleges, four-year colleges and universities, and any institution or research center which deals with Indigenous people.” – John D. Berry, Past President, American Indian Library Association Kinds of Winter Inside Canadian Prisons Four Solo Journeys by Dogteam in Canada’s Northwest Territories Rose Ricciardelli Dave Olesen Print 2014 258 pages 6x9 978-1-77112-053-1 paper $34.99 ebook available Print 2014 268 pages 12 b/w illus., 5 maps 6x9 Life Writing series 978-1-77112-131-6 paper $19.99 ebook available “Ricciardelli’s study of Canadian prisoners is one of the best I’ve ever read on the subject of prisons. In the tradition of John Irwin and Donald Clemmer, she provides an excellent update on inmate culture and provides keen insights into the penal environment, which she calls ‘largely homophobic’ and ‘built on power relationships with aggression and violence presented as acceptable platforms to express or enact masculine dominance.’ A must-read.” – Dr. Randall G. Shelden “Kinds of Winter is a chronicle of the beauty, the lore, the why, and the dog sled adventure of travelling across the Barren Lands. It is written by a master of winter travel by dogteam. To anyone who loves the north or who has a curiosity about living in the cold this is a must-read.” – Will Steger, polar explorer and educator Fall / Winter 2015 25 RECENTLY PUBLISHED | PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED The Question of Peace in Modern Political Thought Toivo Koivukoski and David Edward Tabachnick, editors Canada and Africa in the New Millennium The Politics of Consistent Inconsistency David R.

The authors skilfully trace the principal themes, theoretical divergences, and abiding problems in modern notions of peace in relation to justice, rights, and freedom.” – Dr. Douglas Moggach, University of Ottawa and University of Sydney Print January 2015 328 pages 6x9 978-1-77112-060-9 paper $42.99 ebook available Critics have long noted the contradictions that underlie Canada’s involvement with Africa. Focusing on the period following 2000, and by juxtaposing Jean Chrétien’s G8 activism with the Harper government’s retreat from continental engagement, Black illustrates a history of consistent inconsistency in Canada’s relationship with Africa. He underscores how Africa has served as an important marker of Canada’s international role. Unravelling Encounters The Independence of South Sudan Caitlin Janzen, Donna Jeffery, and Kristin Smith, editors Walter C. Soderlund and E. Donald Briggs Ethics, Knowledge, and Resistance under Neoliberalism The Role of Mass Media in the Responsibility to Prevent Print April 2015 300 pages 6x9 978-1-77112-125-5 paper $38.99 ebook available Print 2014 182 pages 3 maps, 2 tables 6x9 Studies in International Governance series 978-1-77112-117-0 paper $38.99 ebook available This multidisciplinary book brings together a series of critical engagements regarding ethical practice from a social justice perspective. Drawing on the work of Sara Ahmed’s Strange Encounters: Embodied Others in Post-Coloniality, it explores how the current neo-liberal, socio-political moment and its relationship to the historical legacies of colonialism, white settlement, and racism shape our practices, pedagogies, and understanding of encounters in diverse settings. 26 Mass media coverage is an important factor in mobilizing the international community into action in crisis and potential crisis situations; however, the impact of media reporting on actual decision-making is unclear. This book examines the way in which the press in Canada and the United States interpreted the potential for violence that accompanied South Sudan’s independence in 2011, and whether or not their governments had a responsibility to prevent. www.wlupress.wlu.ca RECENTLY PUBLISHED | PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED In the Unlikeliest of Places Motherlode How Nachman Libeskind Survived the Nazis, Gulags, and Soviet Communism A Mosaic of Dutch Wartime Experience Carolyne Van Der Meer Annette Libeskind Berkovits.

Based on the recollections of the author’s mother and other Dutch Canadians, as well as letters from and interviews with Canadian soldiers and resistance fighters, Van Der Meer takes these accounts and her first-hand research to craft a compelling view of what we are left with after war’s end.” – Gina Roitman, The Rover Street Angel K.L.

This is where she reaches a zenith of life writing.” – Anne Burke, editor of The Prairie Journal of Canadian Literature, chair of the Feminist Caucus of the League of Canadian Poets Available in English for the first time, Joaquim Amat-Piniella’s portrayal of life in the camps is unmatched in scope and detail. It’s also a compelling study of three powerful ideological movements at work at the time: anarchism, communism, and fascism, all within the desperate and brutal world of the camps. This edition includes a new preface, annotations, and a translators’ note.

Because of budget constraints, among other issues, the university’s administration will be phasing out our operating grant over the next three years. Luckily, thanks to the courageous support of the University Librarian, Gohar Ashoughian, and the backing of the Vice President Academic and Provost, Deb MacLatchy, and Associate Vice President Research (acting), Donna Kotsopoulos, the Press will have a home and a future within the Laurier Library. We have a significant challenge in front of us, but we are deeply committed to meeting it in collaboration with both our campus and external partners. Wilfrid Laurier University Press encourages individuals to order or purchase our books from their local or chosen bookseller. Canada Marsha Wood 12911 Wooded Forest Rd. Middletown, KY 40243 marsha.wood@ingramcontent.com Wilfrid Laurier University Press Partnering with the Library will enhance our mutual abilities to pursue new models of scholarly communication, engage with the challenges of the digital information environment, and support the research enterprise through the publication process. Be assured, however, that we will continue to publish excellent books in our areas of strength. We will be focusing our list to most effectively engage with the needs of the scholarly community and with those of the marketplace, while actively pursuing innovative approaches to publishing and new partnerships. We will be a smaller press, but the development of a cultural and learning commons at the Laurier Library, which includes both the Press and the Robert Langden Art Gallery, opens up exciting possibilities for collaboration.
