Editors Susan Binnie, Eric Tucker and Barry
Wright are planning the fifth volume of the Canadian State Trials series and
invite expressions of interest and proposals for chapter contributions. Volume
5 will examine Canadian political trials, national security measures and
related legal developments and proceedings for the period c.1939 to the 1980s
or early 1990s. We seek scholarly studies that balance historical and legal
analyses. Context for these studies may include a comparative perspective that
refers to other jurisdictions. Collaborative work is welcome.
We anticipate that the volume will include
chapters on the following topics or on related matters: the administration of
the Canadian War Measures Act and military justice in the second World War;
developments during the Cold War including the Gouzenko Affair, the Official
Secrets Act and the Emergency Powers Act 1951; organized labour and the resort
to political policing and criminal proceedings; indigenous assertions of rights
and resistance to continuing Canadian state impingement; national unity and
Felquiste trials (Front de Libération du Québec) 1962-72; and the aftermath of
the October Crisis 1970, and the McDonald Royal Commission.
The editors welcome expressions of interest
from academics including doctoral students. Please contact one of the editors
directly at sbinnie@gmail.com or barry.wright@carleton.ca or e.tucker@yorku.ca
to obtain a full version of the Call for Expressions of Interest and/or Chapter
Proposals. The shape of the volume will be settled immediately after the deadline
