The Palgrave Handbook of Gender, Sexuality, and Canadian Politics “Tremblay and Everitt’s collection offers an innovative take on Canadian politics. By employing gender, sexual orientation and intersectional lenses, the volume unsettles conventional understandings of a stable federal state in the Westminster parliamentary mould. Finally, here’s the handbook that critical students and teachers have long awaited.” —Sylvia Bashevkin, Professor of Political Science, University of Toronto, Canada, and editor of Doing Politics Differently? Women Premiers in Canada’s Provinces and Territories “This handbook is a tremendous resource for students, faculty, elected representatives, policy-makers and activists. Including the main input and output components of Canadian politics, it is comprehensive and timely. This work includes chapters by many of the Canadian academy’s leading lights on the multiple ways and sites of intersection among identity, structures and agency in Canada. Its comprehensiveness is indicated by its attention to the roles of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, and language in confronting political institutions. Importantly, it examines both domestic and foreign policy.” —Melissa Haussman, Professor of Political Science, Carleton University, Canada “This important handbook sheds new and powerful light on the fact that the Canadian political system has been, and continues to be, dominated by heterosexual and cisgender men. It eloquently illustrates how the Feminist Revolution of the 1970s is far from over. This handbook will quickly become an essential reference in Canadian politics. Gender issues are analysed from all angles by confirmed experts in their field. There is no more comprehensive set of studies than the one put together by Manon Tremblay and Joanna Everitt.” —François Rocher, Professor of Political Studies, University of Ottawa, Canada “In my 2015 CPSA presidential address I asserted that, while decades of gendered research expanded knowledge in the field, little transformation occurred in how conventional political science thinks. This handbook shows that transformation has begun in studies of Canadian politics. Within the field’s conventional framework for texts, the handbook’s 26 chapters employ a gendered and intersectional approach to show how to research, theorize and teach politics in various ways relevant to Canada’s increasingly diverse population. Using broadened concepts of ‘gender’ and ‘politics,’ the authors expand the field’s subject matter by exploring diverse communities’ struggles. This starts to turn a previously static field into one that is much more dynamic – a dynamism that will change the study of Canadian politics in the 21st century more than anything else. A ‘must read’ contribution!” —Jill Vickers, Distinguished Professor of Politics Science and Emeritus Professor, Carleton University, Canada
