Book Review

The Culture of Hunting in Canada. Edited by Jean L. Manore and Dale G. Miner. (Vancouver: UBC Press, 2006. x + 276 pp. Illustrations, charts, tables, notes, index. $32.95, paper.)

In The Culture of Hunting in Canada, editors Jean L. Manore and Dale G. Miner argue that hunting is "a fundamental aspect of our heritage and posterity" deserving of much more attention by the scholarly community, particularly those working in the social sciences and humanities (p. 6). This volume does not treat hunting only from an historical perspective, but includes pieces discussing contemporary policy issues and political conflicts. While about half of the seventeen essays the editors have compiled are written by academics, the rest come from consultants, biologists, activists, and hunters. Organized into three sections, they address the themes of "Hunting and Identity," "Hunting and Conservation History," and "Hunting and Contemporary Challenges," and deal with topics ranging from the "discourse of 'liveness'" that animated American conservationist William Hornaday's writing and practice of taxidermy (Mark Simpson) to the current debate over Canada's long gun registry (Simon Wallace and Dale Miner).
