The Laughing People

A Tribute to My Innu Friends

By: Serge Bouchard

The Laughing People, translated from the award-winning Le peuple rieur, conveys the richness and resilience of the Innu while reminding us of the forces – old and new – that threaten their community. This memoir and tribute tells the tale of the very long journey of a very small nation, recounting both its joie de vivre and its crosses borne. Readers follow Serge Bouchard, a young anthropologist in the 1970s, as he arrives in Ekuanitshit (Mingan, Quebec) and comes to know its residents. His observations and questions document a community weathering yet another season of change – skidoos replace dogsleds and forests are bulldozed for prefabricated housing – while nonetheless defying external pressures to assimilate or disappear altogether. Returning to these texts fifty years later, Bouchard moves beyond platitudes of strength and dives into wide-scale injustices to present the sacrifices and beauty of the Innu people on individual terms. Whether recounting the impact of the residential school system on Georges Mestokosho, the wave of Innu activism inspired by An Antane Kapesh, or the uncelebrated work of women like Nishapet Enim, The Laughing People presents an opportunity for readers to be part of the preservation and proliferation of these important stories.

Le Québec: Genèse et mutations du territoire; Synthèse de géographie hitorique

A Historical Geography

By: Serge Courville

In this richly documented work, Serge Courville tells the geographical history of Quebec from the appearance of the first humans through to the present day. This detailed and erudite book maps major stages of Quebec’s development, providing a geographical record of the many social relationships that over time created a sense of place. Landscape, Courville shows, is the keeper of memory, the record of successive changes, and a witness to the genesis of the new. Places that were once agricultural, then left to waste and ruin, are today revivified by tourism. Areas that now house office buildings were long ago open playgrounds where children ruled. Drawing on vast research, Courville shows how, in spite of the turbulence Quebec often endures – or perhaps because of it – the land itself may be seen as an important participant in the history of its peoples. Quebec: A Historical Geography was originally published by Les Presses de l’Université Laval as Le Québec: Genèses et mutations du territoire.

Quebec and Its Historians

Quebec and Its Historians

The Twentieth Century

By: Serge Gagnon

Priest-ridden and church dominated OCo that is what most Canadians thought about Quebec social and intellectual life until recently. For a century, historical scholarship did not escape clerical influence, nor that nationalism which emanated from a people conscious that their nation had been defeated and colonized by the British. Bring on the Jesuits and their devotion to the Church, French civilization, and the conversion of the Amerindians That era has now passed, as Universit(r) du Qu(r)bec historian Serge Gagnon reveals in this searching study of Quebec historiography during the past quarter century. In the persons of Louise Dech-ne and Fernand Ouellet, Quebec has produced two of the most innovative and imaginative practitioners of the new social history. Not only are the questions asked of the past much more intriguing, but these two historians have assiduously mined new primary sources in order to provide fresh approaches that clarify our understanding of QuebecOCOs evolution. Gagnon is best at providing a penetrating evaluation and critique of the work of these two major historians. His book is a series of particular studies rather than a comprehensive synthesis. The author is relatively unconvincing in his attempt to draw associations between the OC Quiet RevolutionOCO of the 1960s and the historical craft. His chapter on changing views of the Canadian sixteenth century fails to pull together the earlier historians that he discusses with more recent ones. Sometimes he falls into the common vice of the historiographer by lapsing into bibliography. GagnonOCOs fine analyses of the work of Dech-ne and Ouellet make this a valuable study for anyone interested in the interpretation of history. What the book so clearly shows is that what each generation considers as history is deeply rooted within intellectual traditions and contemporary concerns. The translation is commendable, but does anyone know what OC economismOCO is?

Veterans with a Vision

Canada’s War Blinded in Peace and War

By: Serge Marc Durflinger

History has told us something about our war dead but very little about our war wounded. Veterans with a Vision provides a vibrant, poignant, and very human history of Canada’s war-blinded veterans, whose courage and the organization they created reshaped the way Canadians and successive governments perceived war disability and, in particular, blindness. Serge Durflinger illuminates the lives of the war blinded by detailing the veterans' process of civil re-establishment, physical and psychological rehabilitation, and social and personal coping. He describes how, in 1922, a group of veterans formed the Sir Arthur Pearson Association of War Blinded (SAPA), closely linked to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB). This organization effectively advocated for government pension entitlements, job retraining, and other social programs that allowed veterans to regain a strong measure of independence. Veterans with a Vision captures the spirit of perseverance that permeated the veterans’ community and highlights the impacts made by the war blinded as advocates for all Canadian veterans and all blind citizens.

French Surgery of the Eighteenth Century

The Royal Academy of Surgery (1731-1793)

By: Serge J. Dos

It is during the eighteenth century that the faltering march of surgery from empiric craft to scientific discipline began. French surgeons were prominent leaders of this evolution, and those practicing in Paris turned the capital into a surgical mecca attracting surgical students and mature professionals from all over Europe and even from America. They also created the Royal Academy of Surgery, soon the lodestar of the surgical world. During its sixty-two years’ existence, the academy published five tomes of memoirs, which became the surgical vade mecum for most of Europe.

Toward a New Poetics

Contemporary Writing in France

By: Serge Gavronsky

A quiet revolution is taking place in avant-garde French poetry and prose. In this collection of twelve interviews with some of France's most important poets and writers, Serge Gavronsky introduces American readers to these exciting new developments. As Gavronsky explains, a neolyricism is now replacing the formalism of the 1960s, '70s, and '80s. In his substantial introduction, Gavronsky notes how the ideological definition of writing (écriture) has given way to more open forms of writing. Human experiences of the most ordinary kinds are finding a place in the text. These interviews offer a view of the poets' and writers' creative processes and range over such topics as current literary theory, the impact of American poetry in France, and the place of feminism in contemporary French writing. Each interview is accompanied by samples of the writer's work in French and in Gavronsky's English translations. Toward a New Poetics provides a highly informative cultural and critical perspective on contemporary writing in France, introducing us to works which are now transforming the idea of literature itself.

Fighting from Home

The Second World War in Verdun, Quebec

By: Serge Durflinger

In Verdun, English and French speakers lived side by side. Through their home-front activities as much as through enlistment, they proved themselves partners in the prosecution of Canada's war. Shared experiences and class similarities shaped responses based first and foremost in a sense of local identity. Fighting from Home paints a comprehensive, at times intimate, portrait of Verdun and Verdunites at war. Durflinger offers an innovative interpretive approach to wartime Canadian and Quebec social and cultural dynamics in this history of the Canadian home front during the Second World War.

Drugs and Crime

A Complex Relationship. Third revised and expanded edition

By: Serge Brochu,Natacha Brunelle,Chantal Plourde

Discussing illegal drugs without taking into account its criminal context is a difficult proposition. Certain questions come back repeatedly: Does doing drugs really lead to delinquency? Do some drugs have criminal properties? Why would a drug addict turn to crime? What are the best methods of intervention in dealing with individuals who have serious drug habits? The third edition of Drogue et criminalité : Une relation complexe (Les Presses de l’Université de Montréal), translated here for the first time in English, presents an overview of the complex relationship between drugs and crime, avoids cursory affirmations to the effect that psychoactive substance use necessarily leads to crime. It also sheds light on the political and legislative contexts tied to drugs and offers an exceptional synthesis of the research literature of the past 20 years. The authors also discuss the increased attention to illegal drug users and people with addictions, and describe the different supports that are available to them. This book is published in English. - Concevoir la question des drogues illicites en dehors de leur contexte criminel est difficile. Certaines questions reviennent immanquablement : prendre de la drogue pousse-t-il vraiment à la délinquance ? Existe-t-il des drogues aux propriétés criminogènes ? Pourquoi un toxicomane se tourne-t-il vers la criminalité ? Quelles sont les meilleures façons d’intervenir auprès des personnes qui ont de graves problèmes de consommation ? Cette troisième édition présente la relation complexe entre drogue et criminalité, évitant les énoncés sommaires qui voudraient que l’usage de substances psychoactives mène nécessairement au crime. Elle met ainsi en lumière les contextes politiques et légaux liés aux drogues et fait une synthèse exceptionnelle des résultats de la recherche des vingt dernières années. Les auteurs rendent compte de l’importance accrue qu’on accorde désormais aux usagers de drogues illicites ainsi qu’aux personnes dépendantes et ils décrivent les différentes formes d’aide qui leur sont proposées. Ce livre est publié en anglais.

Trial Designs and Outcomes in Dementia Therapeutic Research

By: Kenneth Rockwood,Serge Gauthier

Given the increased attention of clinicians, researchers, and the pharmaceutical industry to the management and treatment of dementia not only in the elderly but also in increasingly younger populations, the demands for effective evidence-based pharmaceutical control of dementia and quantitative assessment of outcomes have increased. From the first steps in the early 1960s to the controversial landmark paper of Summers and colleagues to the most recent trials, it is clear both that much progress has been made and that much remains to be done. This book is written to take stock of what is now usefully known and to speculate on directions for the future.
