The Secret
The sleeping tiger, as one reader has called him, has awakened again. In The Secret, René Fumoleau, prist, poet, missionary, photographer, keen observer of life, looses another collection of his poems and refections on unsuspecting readers. The French missionary, sent to the Dene of the Northwest Territories in the early 1950s, brings his unique blend of wit, irony insight and wisdom to bear on the human condition in this new book.
Here I Sit
For RenC) Fumoleau, on place is immune to the Spirit's presence. This collection of peoms and stories (including six recent poems) makes that clear. Priest, poet, photographer, and resident with the Dene people, Fumoleau presents a trove of accessible wisdom. The reader is invited into a journey of self-discovery and relationship with a beautiful people who have taught Fumoleau at least as much as he has taught them. In the beauty of creation, in the pangs of conscience, in the pain and joy of human life, Fumoleau shows how one grows into the freedom of truly being oneself. With irony and wit, the poet points to the power of Life over Death as the mysterious basis of experience itself. Neither pious nor sentimental, "Here I Sit will speak to those both inside and outside the church. Priests, the homeless, bureaucrats, bingo players--"all encounter the humour, compassion, and discerning eye of Rene Fumoleau.

Drum Songs
Abel stresses the adaptability of the Dene and their ability to make rational and satisfying choices when faced with a variety of external pressures. By reconstructing important moments in Dene history, she demonstrates how they have been able to maintain a sense of cultural distinctiveness in the face of overwhelming economic, political, and cultural pressures from European newcomers. Her interpretation questions the standard perception that aboriginal peoples in Canada have been passive victims in the colonization process.
Prophets, Pastors and Public Choices
The Mackenzie Valley natural gas pipeline debate included many actors. This is the first in-depth study in comparative religious ethics to examine the debate with a particular focus on the role of the Canadian churches. In 1974 twenty-seven of the world’s largest oil and natural gas companies applied for permission to build a pipeline through the Mackenzie Valley to transport Alaskan and northern Canadian gas to large southern markets. Many northern native peoples opposed the proposal and called for a moratorium on major northern development projects until native land claims had been settled. The mainline Canadian Christian churches supported the call for a moratorium and, through the inte...

Staples and Beyond
This collection brings together Watkins' most important scholarly articles. In Staples and Beyond Watkins addresses the "staple thesis" of Canadian economic and political development and, in particular, the effort to extend Harold Innis' work by giving more explicit consideration to class relations and the role of the state. He considers the historical nature of Canada's economic dependency in relation to tariff barriers, foreign investment, the multi-national corporation, and wide-ranging free trade and investment agreements. He also examines the evolution of economics and political economy as academic disciplines and reflects on the relationship between intellectual scholarship and political activism.
