Joy Kogawa's novel, Obasan, deals with a very painful
chapter in Canadian-Japanese history. But more than
that, it reveals very much about Japanese tradition
and culture through the eyes of one woman. Kogawa's
portrayal of a people's plight through this novel
demonstrates her understanding of this historical
reality. Her narrative is profound and enables the
reader to not only experience the Japanese Canadian's
reality during the Second World War, but to also see
how tradition lives on throughout the ages. 3.5 pgs.

A Critical Book Review of The Culture of Civil War
in Kyoto.
The following is a critical review of Berry's (1994)
work on culture during the Kyoto Civil War. This review
will begin with a general summary and overview of
the history and problems identified with Berry, and
in turn, proceed to examining her central thesis that
can be said in brief. Berry argues that the essentially
'feudal' culture was caught within a period of social,
economic, and political growth. The conflict or clash
between the progress which was happening around and
within Kyoto, over and against a patriarchal and feudal
system, effectively prevented a more 'rational' or
'less chaotic' adaptation to the changes, and second,
this culture prevented (Shogun) any other alternative
means for resolving the conflicts in question. Thus,
the focus in the above sense will be directed at understanding
those elements within culture that can be said to
be the cause of inertia. Finally, this paper will
close with a critical discussion of the 'form' and
'scholarly precision' of Berry's work, and it will
be argued that this is a highly readable and comprehensive
work. 5 pgs. 0 f/c. 1b.

How Castiglione's Humanism Influences His Ideas.
This paper is a book report of Baldesar Castiglione's
book, The Book of the Courtier. Castiglione's humanism
profoundly influences his idea, especially about what
constitutes the perfect courtier. Indeed, it is clear
that Castiglione perceives the importance of man turning
toward himself for his own decisions, and of increasing
his questioning of authority in all aspects of life.
Castaglione clearly struggles with the question of
whether or not society should have a certain goal
toward which aspiring people should direct their efforts.
In life, Castiglione reveals, there must be a certain
emphasis on measuring our accomplishments with those
of other people. This is important in order for humans
to be able to excel in life, and for them not to remain
puppets of some religious institution. 6.5 pgs. 3

Book Review of Canadian Families: Diversity, Conflict
and Change.
The authors examine the many themes and conflicts
that surround the discussion of the family today.
They reveal how the definition of "family"
that the social elites construct is very different
from what reality actually is. They show how economic
realities, violence within the home, and discrimination
on all levels, affect families in all walks of life.
The authors do an excellent job in demonstrating how
the division between men's and women's tasks have
significantly changed since capitalism has become
embedded within the society. 8.5 pgs. 10 f/c. 7b.

Book Review: Michael Grant's Cleopatra.
Michael Grant's Cleopatra is an interesting read both
in terms of subject matter and style. Cleopatra was
a powerful woman who, while reigning in Alexandria,
Egypt, had affairs with Julius Caesar and Marc Antony.
Traditional history has tended to superficially dismiss
her as a powerful seductress. While Grant's book is
written in an academic style, it helps debunk the
common misperception regarding Cleopatra and demonstrates
that she was a skilled administrator who attempted
to salvage Egypt from Roman domination. 4.5 pgs. 0

Book Review: Defining Visions.
Mary Ann Watson appears to argue that television has
not only been a reflection of reality, but that it
has also socially constructed it. Indeed, we see a
history of television since 1945 and we examine how
television has had a profound effect on American culture.
The book explores the link between television and
American Culture. 5 pgs. 8 f/c. 1b.
