An Empire of Regions

"This smart, knowing book examines the evolution of early America in terms of region. I know of no better way to come to terms with the development of the British colonies." - Alan Gallay, The Ohio State University

Interrogating the New Economy

"This collection challenges outdated notions of a universal worker, offering a glimpse of work organization, management, and worker militancy. It will be of value to academics and activists alike." - Pam Sugiman, Ryerson University

Against the Grain

"An exciting, fresh, and timely look at the experiences of mothers and fathers who challenge dominant cultural expectations in their efforts to care for their children. Ranson's analysis offers a new way of thinking about parenting." - Glenda Wall, Wilfrid Laurier University

Latin American Politics

"Close has raised the bar for introductory textbooks in the field of Latin American politics, articulating a lucid representation of the changing nature of politics and power in Latin America." - Andrés Pérez-Baltodano, University of Western Ontario
