The story of artists in Western Canada, and how they changed the face of Canadian art "Listen to the visual voices of artists. They tell us so poignantly who we are, what we must cherish, and what we must address as a society."&nbsp; Patricia Bovey <hr /> Throughout her remarkable career as a gallery director, curator, and author, Patricia Bovey has tirelessly championed the work of Western Canadian artists. Western Voices in Canadian Art brings this lifelong passion to a crescendo, delivering the most ambitious survey of Western Canadian Art to date. Beginning with the earliest European-trained artists in Western Canada, and moving up to present day, Bovey amplifies the depth, scope, and importance of the diverse artists (both settler and Indigenous) whose distinct voices have contributed to the Western Canadian artistic tradition. Bovey then adopts a thematic approach, richly informed by her knowledge and experience, connecting art and artists through time and across provincial boundaries. Insights from Bovey's studio visits and conversations with artists enhance our understandings of the history and trajectory of, and impetus for Canadian artistic creation. Lavishly illustrated with over 250 works reproduced in full colour, Western Voices in Canadian Art is a book that needs to be seen, and its artists and art celebrated.&nbsp;

Right-Wing Authoritarianism

First published in 1981, this still-timely volume surveys the history of social psychological research on right-wing authoritarianism and describes a more fruitful direction for future work. It concludes with a disturbing comment on the pervasiveness of authoritarian behaviour in our society.

While Nelson's journal alone is a valuable eyewitness account that provides insights into religious and mystic aspects of Cree and Northern Ojibwa life it is its combination with the other three parts…

Aboriginal rights are the subject of significant public concern in Canada. In this collection of 18 articles, the contributors focus on Aboriginal rights to the use of resources. They examine the nature and extent of resource use by Aboriginal peoples before contact with Europeans, and the persistence of indigenous economic systems during periods of intense interaction with Europeans. The fur trade changed some of the economic activity of Aboriginal peoples, but other patterns have survived.The effect of Canadian government policy and the legal system on these indigenous economies is a major theme of the book. The St. Catherine's Milling and Lumber case is examined in detail because of its effect on subsequent legal findings on the concept of Aboriginal land title. More recent cases, such as those affecting Native water rights in British Columbia and the Git'ksan-Wet'suet'en claim, are also discussed. The problem of interpreting historical and legal evidence is examined in detail.As Canada's Aboriginal peoples move towards self-determination, the nature of Aboriginal rights has become a subject of major importance to all Canadians. This volume, drawing on the perspectives of history, law, political science, ethnohistory, archaeology and cultural geography, will help us to understand some of the most important issues facing Canadians in the 1990s.

The laws of Mediaeval Iceland provide detailed and fascinating insight into the society that produced the Icelandic sagas. Known collectively as Gragas (Greygoose), this great legal code offers a wealth of information about early European legal systems and the society of the Middles Ages. This first translation of Gragas is in two volumes.

Among the most dynamic Aboriginal peoples in western Canada today are the Ojibwa, who have played an especially vital role in the development of an Aboriginal political voice at both levels of government. Yet, they are relative newcomers to the region, occupying the parkland and prairies only since the end of the 18th century. This work traces the origins of the western Ojibwa, their adaptations to the West, and the ways in which they have coped with the many challenges they faced in the first century of their history in that region, between 1780 and 1870. The western Ojibwa are descendants of Ojibwa who migrated from around the Great Lakes in the late 18th century. This was an era of dramatic change. Between 1780 and 1870, they survived waves of epidemic disease, the rise and decline of the fur trade, the depletion of game, the founding of non-Native settlement, the loss of tribal lands, and the government's assertion of political control over them. As a people who emerged, adapted, and survived in a climate of change, the western Ojibwa demonstrate both the effects of historic forces that acted upon Native peoples, and the spirit, determination, and adaptive strategies that the Native people have used to cope with those forces. This study examines the emergence of the western Ojibwa within this context, seeing both the cultural changes that they chose to make and the continuity within their culture as responses to historical pressures. The Ojibwa of Western Canada differs from earlier works by focussing closely on the details of western Ojibwa history in the crucial century of their emergence. It is based on documents to which pioneering scholars did not have access, including fur traders' and missionaries' journals, letters, and reminiscences. Ethnographic and archaeological data, and the evidence of material culture and photographic and art images, are also examined in this well-researched and clearly written history.
