Naomi K Lewis Why couldn't I occupy the world as those model-looking women did, with their flowing hair, pulling their tiny bright suitcases as if to say, I just arrived from elsewhere, and I already belong here, and this sidewalk belongs to me? When her marriage suddenly ends, and a diary documenting her beloved grandfather's escape from Nazi-occupied Netherlands in the summer of 1942 is discovered, Naomi K. Lewis decides to retrace his journey to learn about her family history. Despite suffering from extreme disorientation and a lifetime of anxiety, she travels alone for the first time. Moving from Amsterdam to Lyon--relying on the marvels of GPS--she discovers family secrets and her own narrative as a second-generation Jewish Canadian. With vulnerability, humour, and wisdom, Lewis's memoir asks tough questions about her identity as a secular Jew, the accuracy of family stories, and the impact of the Holocaust on subsequent generations. How do immigrants weave their sense of identity into their chosen countries? Must we be able to locate ourselves within family and cultural geography to belong? 280 pages May 2019 PB 9781772124484 ÂŁ20.99 University of Alberta Press Subject: Anthologies (Non-Poetry) Gazelle Book Services Ltd /+44(0) 1524 528500 / sales@gazellebookservices.co.uk / www.gazellebookservices.co.uk

Rita Shelton Deverell When it became clear that Donald Trump would become the new US president on election night in 2016, the website for Citizenship and Immigration Canada crashed. It was overwhelmed by Americans afraid that the United States would once again enter a period of intolerance and military aggression. In this book Rita Deverell shows that from the Revolutionary War to the Underground Railroad through to McCarthyism and Vietnam, Americans have fled to Canada in times of crisis. Many still flee. All have sought better lives, while helping to shape Canada into the country it is today. 208 pages May 2019 HB 9780889776258 ÂŁ16.99 University of Regina Press Subject: Biography: General Gazelle Book Services Ltd /+44(0) 1524 528500 / sales@gazellebookservices.co.uk / www.gazellebookservices.co.uk

Michael Stock Most people regard lice with disgust, but we are fascinated by fleas, even considering them to be "cute" -- they are the panda bears of the flying zoo. An enthusiastic zoological tribute to birds and the parasites that live in and on them is revealed in Michael Stock's exposé, ”The Flying Zoo”. From the Crozet Archipelago and the Galapagos Islands to our backyards, parasites -- fleas, lice, ticks, flukes -- live in both sinister and symbiotic interdependency with host birds. Written with a scientist's exuberance of the beauty of pattern in nature, a co-evolutionary dance unfolds among an astounding cast of creatures living in a complex and paradoxical co-habitation. It is the contemporary follow-up to the classic “Fleas, Flukes & Cuckoos”. Students of biology, their instructors, and birders alike will want this volume on their shelves, as will natural history readers looking for a new tale of tails. 296 pages May 2019 PB 9781772123746 £23.99 University of Alberta Press Subject: Birds (Ornithology) Gazelle Book Services Ltd /+44(0) 1524 528500 / sales@gazellebookservices.co.uk / www.gazellebookservices.co.uk

William H H Johnson, Wayde Compton William H H Johnson's The Life of Wm. H.H. Johnson, from 1839 to 1900, and the New Race (1904) is the only classical slave narrative in the black North American tradition published by a British Columbian. In his memoir, Johnson writes an account of his mother's flight from Kentucky to Indiana while pregnant with him. During his youth, his family were "station masters" of the Underground Railroad in various towns in Indiana, helping blacks escape to freedom in Canada. Although Indiana was ostensibly a free state, the law allowed bounty hunters to recapture those who had freed themselves. Johnson's family ultimately fled to Ontario. Johnson migrated west to British Columbia, where he worked as a varnish maker in the Vancouver neighbourhood of Mount Pleasant. There he wrote his life story. Johnson also wrote a tract called The Horrors of Slavery. Both works are included in this volume. Wayde Compton's afterword puts Johnson's life and writing in historical context, comparing his life to the lives of other enslaved people who escaped to BC, whose stories were told by others. 250 pages May 2019 PB 9781771124140 ÂŁ15.99 Wilfrid Laurier University Press Subject: Black & Asian Studies Gazelle Book Services Ltd /+44(0) 1524 528500 / sales@gazellebookservices.co.uk / www.gazellebookservices.co.uk

Edited by Dawn Paley, Simon Granovsky-Larsen Official stories from media centres in New York and Mexico City say that most violence in Latin America is a product of the drug trade. This book exposes how that narrative serves corporate and state interests and de-politicises situations that have more to do with coal, oil, or rare wood extraction than with cocaine. Global capital and violence reinforce conditions that fortify the current economic order, and whether it be the military, police, or death squads that pull the trigger, economic expansion benefits from the violent elimination of the opposition, who are most often dispossessed Indigenous people. 288 pages May 2019 PB 9780889776104 ÂŁ26.99 / HB 9780889776289 ÂŁ68.99 University of Regina Press Subject: Development Studies Gazelle Book Services Ltd /+44(0) 1524 528500 / sales@gazellebookservices.co.uk / www.gazellebookservices.co.uk

Enrique Mallen This book explores the interaction between collectors, dealers and exhibitions in Pablo Picasso’s entire career. The former two often played a determining role in which artworks were included in expositions as well as their availability and value in the art market. The term collector/dealer must often be used in combination since the distinction between both is often unclear; Heinz Berggruen, for instance, identified himself primarily as a collector, although he also sold quite a few Picassos through his Paris gallery. On the whole, however, dealers bought more often than collectors; and they bought works by artists they were already involved with. While some dealers were above all professional gallery owners; most were mainly collectors who sporadically sold items from their collection. Picasso’s first known dealer was Père Manyach, whom he met as he travelled to Paris in 1900 when he was only 19 years old. As his representative, Manyach went about setting up exhibitions of his works at galleries in the French capital, such as Bethe Weill’s and Ambroise Vollard’s. Picasso’s first major exhibition took place in 1901 at Vollards. Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler and Léonce Rosenberg came in after Vollard lost interest during the Cubist period, as they had a manifest preference for the new style. Like Vollard, later dealers often preferred the more conventional Neoclassical phase in Picasso. This was the case with Léonce’s brother, Paul Rosenberg. The book is organised chronologically and discusses the interaction between Picasso’s collectors, dealers and exhibitions as they take place. Once collectors acquired an artwork, their willingness to lend them to exhibitions or their necessity to submit them to auction had a direct impact on Picasso’s prominence in the art world. 256 pages May 2019 PB 9781845199869 £27.50 Sussex Academic Press Subject: Art & Design Styles

Rachel Zolf This book introduces readers to the work of one of Canada's most exciting and challenging poets. Through selections from across Rachel Zolf's poetic oeuvre, this book foregrounds the philosophical, ethical, and political questions that inform Zolf's poetry. Selections range from early poems in which Zolf explores transhistorical trauma and queer subjectivity to more recent writings that examine militarism, settler colonialism, and other forms of state-sanctioned violence. Zolf's poetry enacts what she calls a "social poesis"; she is attuned to questions of ethical responsibility and the role, and limitations, of poetry as a tool for ethical thinking, political engagement, accountability, and bearing witness. Heather Milne's introduction examines Zolf's compositional strategies, tracing the evolution of Zolf's writing from an autobiographical poetics, in which Zolf as subject/speaker is locatable, toward a poetics that moves beyond the self to address political and ethical relations among subjects of geopolitics and settler colonialism. In her afterword, Zolf also traces the trajectory of her poetry, focusing on her most recent work in which poems are composed almost entirely from archival sources, enacting a kind of collective assemblage of enunciation. 88 pages May 2019 PB 9781771124119 ÂŁ14.99 Wilfrid Laurier University Press Subject: Poetry Gazelle Book Services Ltd /+44(0) 1524 528500 / sales@gazellebookservices.co.uk / www.gazellebookservices.co.uk

Michael Harlow Bound together by myth and music, Michael Harlow’s “The Moon in a Bowl of Water” is a stunning new collection from a poet in complete control of his craft. Harlow is the maestro of the prose poem. Here he presents a collection of small human journeys, with a strong emphasis on narrative. The work is consciously rooted in Greek mythology and in the idea of storytelling as a continuous river, flowing from the ancients to the present, telling one story on the surface, but carrying in its depths the glints of ancient archetypes, symbols and myths. Each poem is studded with associations that hark back millennia. Harlow delights in the airiness of the imagination and the magic of transformation, especially through the power of language. Words become ‘thought-birds’ that can be caged, coaxed to sing, or allowed to fly, and the poems’ sonic after-effects echo and re-echo in the reader’s mind and ear. 80 pages May 2019 PB 9781988531540 £15.00 Otago University Press Subject: Poetry by Individual Poets Gazelle Book Services Ltd /+44(0) 1524 528500 / sales@gazellebookservices.co.uk / www.gazellebookservices.co.uk
