Reconstructing Ontario Iroquoian Village Organization — Ontario Iroquois Tradition Longhouses
The first study presents a model of Ontario Iroquoian village organization, based on fourteen Late Iroquoian (ca. A.D. 1450-1650) village plans, historic documents and comparative data on contemporary communities. It is argued that socio-political factors (village demography, socio-economics and government) were the major determinants of Iroquoian village arrangement. In light of the socio-political model suggested in part one of this book, the second study interprets changes in longhouse village planning, throughout the Ontario Iroquois sequence (A.D. 700 – 1650), as responses to evolutionary trends in Iroquoian warfare patterns and political organization.

L’humour des Poilus canadiens-français de la Grande Guerre
Sur les 35 000 Canadiens français engagés dans la Première Guerre mondiale, très peu ont raconté leur expérience. Bernard Andrès s’est penché sur les rares témoignages de combattants venus du Québec pour défendre la France. Un sens étonnant de l’humour et de la dérision permet de survivre aux horreurs de la guerre. Ils se moquent des bombes et d’une hiérarchie militaire parfois méprisante à leur égard. Satires, parodies, humour noir et caricatures circulent dans les tranchées où se terre la mort. Bernard Andrès se fait l’écho, pour la première fois, de cette guerre vue d’en bas, sourire en coin.

Hurricane Katrina
The efforts undertaken by civilian and military organizations in response to Hurricane Katrina were historically unprecedented, but a number of changes would enhance future Army and National Guard disaster-response efforts, including preparing governors to call up Guard units for out-of-state emergencies and the creation of regional standing homeland security task forces.
Museums and Their Communities
Using case studies drawn from all areas of museum studies, Museums and their Communities explores the museums as a site of representation, identity and memory, and considers how it can influence its community. Focusing on the museum as an institution, and its social and cultural setting, Sheila Watson examines how museums use their roles as informers and educators to empower, or to ignore, communities. Looking at the current debates about the role of the museum, she considers contested values in museum functions and examines provision, power, ownership, responsibility, and institutional issues. This book is of great relevance for all disciplines as it explores and questions the role of the museum in modern society.
