The article discusses the book "Modernization and the Canadian State," edited by Daniel Glenday, Hubert Guindon, and Allan Turowetz. The book puts together a useful collection of articles for courses such as Canadian social issues, Canadian society, economic sociology, ethnic-minority relations and introduction to sociology. The papers are grouped into five sections namely "The Impact of the Multinational Corporation," "Regionalism and Community," "Canadians and Québécois," "Ethnicity and Marginality," and "Modernization and the Urban Poor." Guindon's article argues that Trudavian federal policy has been wrongheaded in its attempt to solve the French-Canadian "problem" by expanding francophone opportunities outside Quebec. Several of the commissioned articles justify the price of admission for any interested scholar not on the complimentary copy list. According to Guindon "The federal state has followed a language policy that can only be described as a political Irritation for English Canada which is entirely irrelevant to a modernizing Quebec."

"The Everyday World as Problematic," is a collection of essays which documents the unsentimental journey of a major Canadian social theorist toward a more profoundly feminist sociology. Dorothy E. Smith wrote these six essays over the last decade and a half, and though prefaced by new introductions, the earlier papers are included so that readers can follow Smith's progress. A sociologist at the outset, Smith is still a sociologist at the end, though hardly a conventional one. As the book unfolds, she is increasingly critical of the discursive moral order that is mainstream sociology. Yet like Sandra Harding on science, Smith holds fast to the view that sociological inquiry, in the form of what we might call a "successor" sociology, can yet empower rather than impoverish the lives of the women it studies. This is the first reason that "The Everyday World" is essential reading for sociologists, feminists and non-feminists alike. In the book's six chapters Smith explores philosophically and practically the possibility of a sociology freed of its patriarchal anchorage. Her goal is the development of an alternative feminist sociology, that is, a specialized knowledge of the social world which is rooted in the form of life of its women subjects.

THE PUBLICATION OF DOCTOR KINNARI I. Bhatt's first book, Concessionaires, Financiers and Communities: Implementing Indigenous Peoples' Rights to Land in Transnational Development Projects ("Concessionaires"), comes at a time of uncertainty for the field of Aboriginal law in Canada and across the globe. To contextualize the key themes found throughout Concessionaires, and to provide a basis upon which my critiques shall be built, it is important to briefly detail recent developments in Aboriginal law in Canada.

The article reviews the books "The Canadian Yearbook of International Law/Annuaire Canadien de droit international, XXX (1992)," edited by C. B. Bourne, and "The Canadian Yearbook of International Law/Annuaire Canadien de droit international, XXXI (1993)," edited by Donald M. McRae.

These different processes led to significant variations in labor policy regimes and labor movements, resulting in "the class idea" being built not only into the Canadian labor movement but also into Canadian political and policy institutions. He therefore poses three questions: Why did the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) and its successor the New Democratic Party (NDP) emerge as a labor party as opposed to US labor's commitment to the Democratic Party? To put it simply, "the Canadian labor regime legitimized class issues and facilitated addressing them", but "the US labor regime delegitimized class issues and prevented [attempts at] addressing them" (255).
