A Companion to Ezra Pound’s Guide to Kulchur

(Clemson University Press, 2018)
ART 281

Published in 1938, Guide to Kulchur encapsulates Ezra Pound’s chief concerns: his cultural, historiographic, philosophical and epistemological theories; his aesthetics and poetics; and his economic and political thought. In its fifty-eight chapters and postscript, it constitutes an interdisciplinary and transhistorical cultural anthropology that exemplifies his slogan for the renovation of ancient wisdom for current use: “Make It New.” Though wildly encyclopedic, allusive and recursive, Guide to Kulchur is inescapable in any serious study of Pound.

A Companion to Ezra Pound’s Guide to Kulchur addresses the formidable interpretive challenges Pound’s most far-reaching prose tract presents to the reader. Providing page-by-page glosses on key terms and passages, the Companion also situates Pound’s allusions and references in relation to other texts in his vast body of work, especially The Cantos. Striking a balance between rigorous scholarly standards and readerly accessibility, the book is designed to meet the needs of the specialist while keeping the critical apparatus unobtrusive so as also to appeal to students and the general public. A long-needed resource, A Companion to Ezra Pound’s Guide to Kulchur makes a lasting contribution to the study of one of the most influential and controversial literary figures of the twentieth century.

The Portuguese in Canada
Diasporic Challenges and Adjustment (2nd edn)

(University of Toronto Press, 2008)
ART 214

Even though the Portuguese are relatively new to Canada, they have made major contributions to the cultural mosaic of the country. Containing many new essays, this second edition of The Portuguese in Canada updates the work that filled a gap in the scholarly literature of multiculturalism in Canada.

The contributors come from a variety of disciplines – anthropology, geography, history, literature, linguistics, sociology, and urban planning – and are from Portugal, Canada and the United States. Essays examine the history of the Portuguese diaspora, the Portuguese presence in Newfoundland and its fisheries, language and identity, urban experiences (especially in Montreal and Toronto), and history and literature. This second edition of The Portuguese in Canada conveys the multi-faceted contributions the Portuguese have made to Canada and considers possible future growth and development of Portuguese-Canadian culture and heritage.

Remaking the City Street Grid
A Model for Urban and Suburban Development

(McFarland, 2015)
ART 214

What makes for a desirable and sustainable quality of life? Given the 20th century’s private auto dominance, and its associated ills (air & noise pollution, injuries & death, suburban sprawl & freeways), a fresh look at how we live and move is warranted. This book contributes a new system of neighbourhood design that learns from history and draws lessons from communities that have been able to sustain a high quality of life while maintaining vibrant societies, thriving economies and clean environments.  Starting at the human scale, it proposes a fusion of grids – green spaces, walking/biking networks, living/shopping grids, all inter-connected by traffic-calmed neighbourhood streets, and perimeter high-capacity transit/vehicle parkways fitting for modern culture.  It seamlessly integrates while addressing such issues as walkability, mobility, health, safety, security, cost and greenhouse gas emissions. Case studies of national and international neighbourhoods and districts based on this new SMARTer Growth neighbourhood design demonstrates its application in real-world situations.

Niagara Motel

(Rowohlt Taschenbuch, 2017)
ART 214

Set in 1992, Ashley Little’s follow-up to her award-winning novel Anatomy of a Girl Gang introduces readers to unforgettable eleven-year-old Tucker Malone–the only child of a narcoleptic touring stripper–who believes his father is Sam Malone from Cheers. He and his mother move from motel to motel until, one night in Niagara Falls, his mother is hit by a car after falling asleep in the street.

Tucker is sent to live in a youth group home where he meets Meredith, a pregnant sixteen-year-old street prostitute. They bond over Slurpees and a shared love for literature and he convinces her to “borrow” a car to go to Boston to find his father.

Their cross-country search becomes an epic depiction of mid-90s America as Tucker comes face to face with some of the most notorious criminals of the time: The Oklahoma Bomber; Lorena Bobbitt; the boys responsible for the Columbine High School massacre; O.J. Simpson; and Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka.

Told in spare, straightforward prose, Niagara Motel is a biting chronicle during the rise of mass media in the decade that defined the MTV Generation, and the bittersweet story of a young boy forced to learn brutal lessons on his way to becoming a man.

Violence Against Indigenous Women
Literature, Activism, Resistance

(Wilfrid Laurier University Press, 2017)
ARTS 214

Violence against Indigenous women in Canada is an ongoing crisis, with roots deep in the nation’s colonial history. Despite numerous policies and programs developed to address the issue, Indigenous women continue to be targeted for violence at disproportionate rates. What insights can literature contribute where dominant anti-violence initiatives have failed? Centring the voices of contemporary Indigenous women writers, this book argues for the important role that literature and storytelling can play in response to gendered colonial violence. 

Indigenous communities have been organizing against violence since newcomers first arrived, but the cases of missing and murdered women have only recently garnered broad public attention. Violence Against Indigenous Women joins the conversation by analyzing the socially interventionist work of Indigenous women poets, playwrights, filmmakers, and fiction-writers. Organized as a series of case studies that pair literary interventions with recent sites of activism and policy-critique, the book puts literature in dialogue with anti-violence debate to illuminate new pathways toward action. 

With the advent of provincial and national inquiries into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, a larger public conversation is now underway. Indigenous women’s literature is a critical site of knowledge-making and critique. Violence Against Indigenous Women provides a foundation for reading this literature in the context of Indigenous feminist scholarship and activism and the ongoing intellectual history of Indigenous women’s resistance.

The Rebirth of Bodh Gaya
Buddhism and the Making of a World Heritage Site

(The University of Washington Press, 2017)
ART 214

This multilayered historical ethnography of Bodh Gaya — the place of Buddha’s enlightenment in the north Indian state of Bihar — explores the spatial politics surrounding the transformation of the Mahabodhi Temple Complex into a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2002. The rapid change from a small town based on an agricultural economy to an international destination that attracts hundreds of thousands of Buddhist pilgrims and visitors each year has given rise to a series of conflicts that foreground the politics of space and meaning among Bodh Gaya’s diverse constituencies.

David Geary examines the modern revival of Buddhism in India, the colonial and postcolonial dynamics surrounding archaeological heritage and sacred space, and the role of tourism and urban development in India.

A Brief History of the Short Life of the Island Cache

(University of Alberta Press, 2004)
ART 214

The confluence of the Fraser and Nechako Rivers is a complicated place. Located just before the rivers meet is a place called the Island Cache, where a community of settlers took up residence in the 1920s. The area was initially an island separated by a flood channel. The Cache was a very different place than the city (Prince George) on its border, but in 1970, it was incorporated, and a period of escalating political turmoil began. Integration was swift and decisive, and accomplished through by-laws, condemnation orders, and bulldozers; the event triggering it was a flood. Pushed to the margins of society, the people of the Cache survived as best they could. They created a vibrant community, but because it was very different than that of those with power, ‘progress’ meant the end of the Cache.
