Canadian Born (1895) is a collection of poems by E. Pauline
Johnson. Revered as one the foremost indigenous Canadian poets of
her time, Johnson was a prolific writer whose works explored her
Mohawk heritage while shedding light on the racism and persecution
faced by indigenous peoples across North America. Canadian Born
captures Johnson's range as a poet in tune with the Romantic
tradition without erasing her dualistic sense of identity as a
woman of Mohawk and English heritage. Introducing her collection
with a brief inscription, the poet lays out the political purpose
of her work addressed to all "Canadian born" individuals, "whether
he be [her] paleface compatriot who has given to [her] his right
hand of good fellowship," or "that dear Red brother of whatsoever
tribe or Province." No matter the identity of her reader, Johnson
hopes to show them that "White Race and Red are one if they are but
Canadian born." Whether or not she succeeds in her mission is up to
the reader to decide, and yet the beauty and power of her poetry
cannot be denied. Personal and political, patriotic and critical of
colonial misdeeds, Johnson captures as much as she can of the
Canadian experience, paying equal regard to a mariner longing to
return to "the sea, the hungry sea" and an Indian corn husker with
"Age in her fingers, hunger in her face, / Her shoulders stooped
with weight of work and years." With a beautifully designed cover
and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of E. Pauline
Johnson's Canadian Born is a classic of Canadian literature
reimagined for modern readers.

Critique in a Neoliberal Age brings a critique of ideology to main
debates within economic sociology, populism studies, the neoliberal
university, therapy culture, contemporary intimacies and feminism.
Over the last decades, neoliberalism has worked to lift social
protections and political regulations from the market and to
identify modernity with capitalism itself. It has also engaged in
an ideological project to screen alternative measurements of
progress. Liberal and social democracy have been effectively
disabled as grounds for weighing the costs of neoliberal
predations. This volume examines the strategies through which
neoliberalism has reconstituted and de-politicized liberal precepts
such as universal justice, private right and a social democratic
project responsive to needs. As such it will appeal to scholars and
students of sociology and social and critical theory, political and
social philosophy, politics, cultural studies and feminist thought.
Feminism is currently at an impasse. Both the liberation feminism
of the 1970's and the more recent feminism of difference are
increasingly faced with the limitations of their own perspectives.
While feminists today generally acknowledge the need to recognise
diversity, they lack a coherent framework through which this need
can be articulated. In "
The White Wampum (1895) is the debut poetry collection of E.
Pauline Johnson. Originally published in London, The White Wampum
launched her career as one of Canada's most distinguished artists.
Revered as one the foremost indigenous poets of her time, Johnson
was a prolific writer whose works explored her Mohawk heritage
while shedding light on the racism and persecution faced by
indigenous peoples across North America. The White Wampum captures
Johnson's range as a poet in tune with the Romantic tradition
without erasing her dualistic sense of identity as a woman of
Mohawk and English heritage. Choosing to emphasize the former,
Johnson, who also went by Tekahionwake, her great-grandfather's
name, adopts the persona of a Mohawk wife devoted to her husband, a
powerful warrior: "I am Ojistoh, I am she, the wife / Of him whose
name breathes bravery and life / And courage to the tribe that
calls him chief. / I am Ojistoh, his white star, and he / Is land,
and lake, and sky-and soul to me." When members of the rival Huron
tribe capture Ojistoh, their plan for retribution fails to account
for her own strength and willpower. Outnumbered and unarmed, she
remains certain she will return to her husband alive. In "The
Camper," Johnson invokes the beauty and simplicity of life on the
plains, erasing for a moment all distinction between man and god,
heaven and earth: "Night neath the northern skies, lone, black, and
grim: / Nought but the starlight lies twixt heaven, and him. / Of
man no need has he, of God, no prayer; / He and his Deity are
brothers there." With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of E. Pauline
Johnson's The White Wampum is a classic of Canadian literature
reimagined for modern readers.
Flint and Feather (1913) is a collection of the complete poems of
E. Pauline Johnson. Revered as one the foremost Canadian poets of
her time, Johnson was a prolific writer whose works explored her
Mohawk heritage while shedding light on the racism and persecution
faced by indigenous peoples across North America. "The lyrical
verse herein is as a 'Skyward floating feather, / Sailing on summer
air.' And yet that feather may be the eagle plume that crests the
head of a warrior chief; so both flint and feather bear the
hall-mark of my Mohawk blood." So states Johnson in the foreword to
her complete poems, Flint and Feather, a collection that captures
not only her range as a poet in tune with the Romantic tradition,
but her dualistic sense of identity as a woman of Mohawk and
English heritage. Choosing to emphasize the former, Johnson, who
also went by Tekahionwake, her great-grandfather's name, adopts the
persona of an Indian wife who, watching her love depart, wonders
what he will "suffer from the white man's hand." In fear, in anger,
in desperation, she proclaims "By right, by birth we Indians own
these lands, / Though starved, crushed, plundered, lies our nation
low..." In the face of defeat, she offers a poetry in tune with the
"ghost upon the shore," the voices one hears "when the Northern
candles light the Northern sky." Johnson's voice is thus both one
of resistance and mourning, her song one of a land of plains and
rivers, of fields that await the harvest despite the "prying pilot
crow" whose "thieving raids" descend "[a]t husking time." With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of E. Pauline Johnson's Flint and Feather is a classic
of Canadian literature reimagined for modern readers.
Originally published in 1984, this study deals with a number of
influential figures in the European tradition of Marxist theories
of aesthetics, ranging from Lukacs to Benjamin, through the
Frankfurt School, to Brecht and the Althusserians. Pauline Johnson
shows that, despite the great diversity in these theories about
art, they all formulate a common problem, and she argues that an
adequate response to this problem must be based on account of the
practical foundations within the recipient's own experience for a
changed consciousness.

If we are to believe what many sociologists are telling us, the
public sphere is in a near terminal state. Our ability to build
solidarities with strangers and to agree on the general
significance of needs and problems seems to be collapsing. These
cultural potentials appear endangered by a newly aggressive attempt
to universalize and extend the norms of the market. For four
decades Habermas has been trying to bring the claims of a modern
public sphere before us. His vast oeuvre has investigated its
historical, sociological and theoretical preconditions, has
explored its relevance and meaning as well as diagnosing its
on-going crises. In the contemporary climate, a systematic look at
Habermas lifelong project of rescuing the modern public sphere
seems an urgent task.
This study reconstructs major developments in Habermas thinking
about the public sphere, and is a contribution to the current
vigorous debate over its plight. It marshals the significance of
Habermas lifetime of work on this topic to illuminate what is at
stake in a contemporary interest in rescuing an embattled modern
public sphere.
Habermas project of rescuing the neglected potentials of
Enlightenment legacies has been deeply controversial. For many, it
is too lacking in radical commitments to warrant its claim to a
contemporary place within a critical theory tradition. Against this
developing consensus, Pauline Johnson describes Habermas project as
one that is still informed by utopian energies, even though his own
construction of emancipatory hopes itself proves to be too narrow
and one-sided.
If we are to believe what many sociologists are telling us, the
public sphere is in a near terminal state. Our ability to build
solidarities with strangers and to agree on the general
significance of needs and problems seems to be collapsing. These
cultural potentials appear endangered by a newly aggressive attempt
to universalize and extend the norms of the market. For the past
four decades the social theorist Jurgen Habermas has explored the
relevance and meaning of the public sphere, as well as diagnosing
its on-going crises. In the contemporary climate, a systematic look
at Habermas' lifelong project of rescuing the modern public sphere
seems an urgent task. This study reconstructs major developments in
Habermas' thinking about the public sphere. Throughout his work
Habermas has maintained that the complex ambiguity of the cultural
achievements and potentials of the Enlightenment have not been
properly understood. While his first major work tried to retrieve
this complexity by excavating the neglected public-democratic core
of Enlightenment liberalism, his later writings look to processes
within modernization that confer value on a human capacity to
interact communicatively. In recent times, Habermas has suggested
that the modern public sphere is still central to the way in which
liberal democratic societies reflect upon their normative
foundations, and that we can learn from the traumatic histories and
partial successes of the democratic nation states what needs to be
done to build democracy with a post-national, cosmopolitan reach.
