Reviews
“This is a timely textbook for health programs that have introduced introductory undergraduate Indigenous health courses or are considering doing so. It is both strong analytically in terms of situating Indigenous health in the context of colonization and the racism that Indigenous peoples experience, but it also provides a refreshing “first person” perspective with Indigenous voices articulating these experiences from a life history perspective. This book is written in a very accessible manner and will be useful for students with limited background in Indigenous history and culture, and it should also appeal to Indigenous students who should find it a culturally safe resource. It will also be useful in health professional training where programs provide for more substantive exposure to Indigenous health issues.”
—Dr. John O’Neil, Professor of Global and Indigenous Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, Simon Fraser University
“This book will be very useful for students in many disciplines who are actively searching for decolonizing knowledge. Not only are colonial histories and impacts clearly illustrated, but the stories throughout the book authentically represent the ongoing strengths and challenges experienced in Indigenous communities. It is an important collection of voices that elevate Indigenous experience and perspectives.”
—Leanne Kelly, Assistant Teaching Professor, School of Nursing, University of Victoria

The Merchant of Venice
A Broadview Anthology of British Literature Edition
Written by: William Shakespeare
Edited by: Julie Sutherland
Publisher: Broadview Press
Publication Date: January 8, 2015
ISBN: 9781554812127 / 1554812127
Format: Paperback, 170 pages
Description (from the publisher’s website)
The Merchant of Venice is best known for its complex and ambiguous portrait of the Jewish moneylender Shylock—and of European anti-Semitism. Fascinating in its engagement with prejudice, the play is also a comedy of cross-dressing and disguise, and a dramatic exploration of justice, mercy, and vengeance.
This volume contains the full text of the play with explanatory footnotes and marginal glosses for contemporary readers. An extensive introduction and well-rounded selection of background materials not only illuminate anti-Semitism in early modern England but also provide context for other facets of the play, including its comic plot of love and marriage, its examination of commerce and international trade, and its themes of revenge and the law.
Reviews
“… extremely useful. The introductory materials are lucidly written and very thorough. Most impressive, I thought, was the range of background primary sources the editor provides…. The volume strikes me as suitable for courses not only in Shakespeare and early English drama but also those that look at the history of antisemitism and of Jewish-Christian relations in Europe…. The next time I teach Merchant I am definitely going to assign it!”
— Lisa Lampert-Weissig, University of California, San Diego
“Students and their teachers will welcome this excellent new edition of The Merchant of Venice. Julie Sutherland’s introduction to the play sets up the major issues of and conflicts surrounding Shakespeare’s representation of his Jewish character, Shylock. The volume’s carefully chosen and excerpted supporting materials supply lively perspectives on the historical, social, religious, and theatrical contexts of Shakespeare’s enigmatic and always fascinating play.”
— Judith Page, University of Florida
“With a sensitive scholarly introduction, well-chosen illustrations, and extensive annotations, this edition of The Merchant of Venice is accessible enough for secondary school students and challenging enough for undergraduate and even graduate students. The contextual materials on topics from ‘The Shakespearean Theater’ to ‘Jews and Christians’ to ‘Women, Family and Obedience,’ to name but a few, make this edition a superlative resource for teaching and researching one of Shakespeare’s most significant and controversial plays.”
— Bernadette Andrea, University of Texas at San Antonio
“…a classroom-ready Broadview edition … presented along with a rich collection of source and contextualizing materials …”
