Faking Death
In Faking Death Penny Cousineau-Levine examines the work of over 120 Canadian photographers, revealing important aspects of Canadian identity and imagination. Contrasting Canadian photography with American and European traditions, she shows that Canadian photographers are often preoccupied with a place that is elsewhere, a doubling and duality that also occurs in Canadian literature, film and political life. Subverting the documentary tradition and other stylistic idioms for their own distinctive ends, Canadian photographers exhibit an ambivalent preoccupation with death and dying, bondage, and entrapment. Cousineau-Levine argues that this is characteristically a faked death that expresses a collective Canadian wish for a symbolic passage to national maturity. The book includes 16 colour reproductions and 150 duotones by artists such as Raymonde April, Jeff Wall, Lynne Cohen, Charles Gagnon, Evergon, Michel Lambeth, Thaddeus Holownia, Geoffrey James, Genevi ve Cadieux, Shelley Niro, Diana Thorneycroft, Jin-me Yoon, Ian Wallace, and Ken Lum. This work provides a visual introduction to one of Canada's most vibrant and internationally recognized artistic media.

Baton Rouge Cemeteries
For many immigrants to Baton Rouge, being buried in the highlands of their European homes was a dream. Recognizing that this desire was unlikely to come to fruition, they christened the bluff above the Mississippi River south of the town as "Highland" and established Highland Cemetery in 1819. The military fort had a burial ground; churches established cemeteries; owners, family members, and slaves were buried on the plantations; towns offered municipal cemeteries and paupers' plots; and families distant from towns created family cemeteries. Magnolia Cemetery was established for white citizens in 1852. Sweet Olive and the Lutheran Cemeteries were for free people of color and slaves. St. Jose...

Dictionary of French Family Names in North America
This dictionary contains data not only on the origins of French surnames in Québec and Acadia, a great many of which eventually spread to many parts of North America, but also on those which arrived in the United States directly from various French-speaking European and Caribbean countries. In addition to providing the etymology of the original surnames, it also lists the multifarious variants that have developed over the last four centuries. A unique feature of this work in comparison to other onomastics dictionaries is the inclusion of genealogical information on most of the Francophone migrants to this continent, something which has been rendered possible not only by the excellent record-keeping in French Canada since the very beginnings of the colony, but also through the explosion of such data on the internet in the last couple of decades. In sum, this dictionary serves the dual purpose of providing information on the meanings of French family names on the North American continent, as well as on the migrants who brought them there.
Violences et victimation
La question de la violence et de son traitement est une préoccupation sociale de plus en plus grande, qui suscite des débats passionnés. À cette question, la psychologie est tenue de répondre. De la violence en effet, on parle de plus en plus, ce qui n'empêche semble-t-il nullement le surgissement de ses diverses manifestations : guerre, tortures, terrorisme, violences de la rue, violences sexuelles, conjugales, physiques et/ou psychiques, violences de la société, violences symboliques, violences dans les entreprises, harcèlement, licenciements de masse, prédominance de la réussite économique sur l'harmonie des relations humaines, etc. Ces violences sont agies ou subies, elles so...
