Renewing "That Which Was Almost Lost or Forgotten"
The pressure on traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) to solve socio-economic issues globally begs the question: What is the state of TEK today, given the economic, social, and cultural ruptures it has endured during the past 200 years? The author traces how historical collaborative work between ethnographic pairings of “insiders” and “outsiders” created partnerships between some prominent anthropologists and local Indigenous research collaborat…

Daughter of Earth
Although Judith Merril is well known as an important editor and anthologist during the formative period of North American sf from the 1940s through the 1970s, her fiction has been largely overlooked by sf scholars. Even feminist work tends to proceed from the assumption that women did not become an important force in sf until the 1970s, and so excludes Merril’s writing from consideration as feminist sf. This article reconsiders the importance of …
For the Extended Family and the Universe
This article, in exploring why so few SF writers produce compelling or innovative autobiographies, examines Judith Merril's controversial memoir, Better to Have Loved, written in collaboration with her granddaughter, Emily Pohl-Weary. The memoir authorship and form have no equal in SF circles. Merril (1923-1997) was a central, socially radical powerhouse in the extraordinary "man's world" of modern science fiction, tracing her career through New …

Life Lived ‘like a map with all the rivers and hills showing’
This essay examines an autobiographical vignette by Canadian painter-writer Emily Carr (1871–1945) through the lens of Frye’s idea of the ‘explorer-painter’. Through wide-ranging research, the article touches on historical concepts of the Canadian West Coast, the role of the visual and of transportation structures in travellers’ experiences of landscape, the tension between the natural and industrial technological realms (particularly in regard t…
Rugged Domesticity
In the four science fiction novels explored here, the post-atomic frontier is represented as a modern version of American civilization’s ongoing cyclical encounter with savagery, as identified by Rickard Slotkin. Although normalcy assumed critical importance as a means by which postwar American culture could regenerate from its encounter with savagery after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the idealization of normalcy conflicted with other …
Fish versus Power
Fish versus Power is an environmental history of the Fraser River (British Columbia) and the attempts to dam it for power and to defend it for salmon. Amid contemporary debates over large dam development an declines in fisheries, this book offers a case study of a river basin where development decisions did not ultimately dam the river, but rather conserved its salmon. Although the case is local, its implications are global as Evenden explores th…
Home truths
This paper develops a political reading of women writers’/writer-editors’ involvement in the American atomic age, Cold War-era fields of science fiction and popular science writing. Judith Merril (1928-97) in her post-war science-fiction writing and Rachel Carson (1907-64) in her international best-selling anti-pesticide polemic, Silent Spring (1962), capitalized on popular, mass-market literary genres as vehicles for social criticism in what Jes…

My Past Is Now
Dynamic Traditions
The new approaches to the history of production technology view technological change as a dynamic social and cultural process, one in which class, gender, and race intersect. Recently, these ideas found their way into a temporary exhibit, Cannery Days: A Chapter in the Lives of the Heiltsuk, at the Museum of Anthropology, University of British Columbia. The curator of this exhibit, Pamela Windsor (now Pamela Brown), is a Heiltsuk woman from the I…

Tangled Webs of History
When British Columbia entered Confederation in 1871, First Nations people (referred to then and in Newell's book as Indians) constituted a majority, yet were not consulted in negotiating terms of union. Nowhere in process of confederation were institutions, governments and economies of First Nations given serious consideration as founding principles of new Dominion. The Fathers of Confederation thought that, with implementation of a paternalistic…

Awarded the Canadian Historical Association's British Columbia and Yukon Certificate of Merit Award for 'Professor Newell's courageous critique of a history of mismanagement and misunderstanding in one of the region's key sectors should provide pause for thought to anyone with an interest in the workings of the modern state.'

The Rationality of Mechanization in the Pacific Salmon-Canning Industry before the Second World War
An industry may fail to adopt or to extend new technology for many reasons other than lack of entrepreneurial vision. In the following article, Professor Newell considers the halting and incomplete diffusion of mechanization and continuous-process technology in the salmon-canning industry of the Pacific Northwest. She shows that the fragile and cyclical character of the natural resource, the labor system employed, and the remote and isolated loca…

The Development of the Pacific Salmon-Canning Industry
Doyle (1874-1961) was founder and first general manager of a major consolidation of packing companies, British Columbia Packers Association (established in 1902), which became British Columbia Packers Ltd., one of the few pioneer fish-packing companies that remains viable today. He was recognised by friends and enemies alike as the unofficial industry historian not only for British Columbia but also for Alaska and the Pacific US coastal states. D…
The Social Organization of Early Industrial Capitalism
Technological innovation and persistence in the Ontario oilfields
Latest technologies may not always be applicable to local situations. Pumping methods on the low‐yield Ontario oilfields are described to illustrate the persistence of a relatively primitive technology where there was no clear economic advantage in increasing the rate of flow. The same techniques are shown to have been in use in Europe in the seventeenth century, if not before
The Workers' World at Hagley
All in a Day's Work
The major scientific discoveries and key inventions of the Industrial Revolution occurred primarily in advanced economies where incentives were the greatest. Canada was a marginal supplier of natural resources and therefore depended on more advanced economies for technological innovations, skilled labor, capital, and markets.' This reliance on imported technology inevitably involved Canadians in experimentation, modification, and improvement to s…
