Uninformed and reactionary responses in the years following the
events of 9/11 and the ongoing 'War on Terror' have greatly
affected ideas of citizenship and national belonging. In
Securitized Citizens, Baljit Nagra, develops a new critical
analysis of the ideas dominant groups and institutions try to
impose on young Canadian Muslims and how in turn they contest and
reconceptualize these ideas. Nagra conducted fifty in-depth
interviews with young Muslim adults in Vancouver and Toronto and
her analysis reveals how this group experienced national belonging
and exclusion in light of the Muslim 'other', how they reconsidered
their cultural and religious identity, and what their experiences
tell us about contemporary Canadian citizenship. The rich and
lively interviews in Securitized Citizens successfully capture the
experiences and feelings of well-educated, second-generation, and
young Canadian Muslims. Nagra acutely explores how racial
discourses in a post-9/11 world have affected questions of race
relations, religious identity, nationalism, white privilege, and
multiculturalism.

Female Doctors in Canada is an accessible collection of articles by
experienced physicians and researchers exploring how systems,
practices, and individuals must change as medicine becomes an
increasingly female-dominated profession. As the ratio of
practicing physicians shifts from predominately male to
predominately female, issues such as work hours, caregiving, and
doctor-patient relationships will all be affected. Canada's medical
education is based on a system that has always been designed by and
for men; this is also true of our healthcare systems, influencing
how women practice, what type of medicine they choose to practice,
and how they wish to balance their personal lives with their work.
With the intent to open a larger conversation, Female Doctors in
Canada reconsiders medical education, health systems, and
expectations, in light of the changing face of medicine.
Highlighting the particular experience of women working in the
medical profession, the editors trace the history of female
practitioners, while also providing a perspective on the
contemporary struggles women face as they navigate a system that
was tailored to the male experience, and is yet to be modified.
