97. Some peripheries are close to us, in city centres or within our families. Hence there is an aspect of universal openness in love that is existential rather than geographical. It has to do with our daily efforts to expand our circle of friends, to reach those who, even though they are close to me, I do not naturally consider a part of my circle of interests. Every brother or sister in need, when abandoned or ignored by the society in which I live, becomes an existential foreigner, even though born in the same country. They may be citizens with full rights, yet they are treated like foreigners in their own country. Racism is a virus that quickly mutates and, instead of disappearing, goes into hiding, and lurks in waiting.

202. Lack of dialogue means that in these individual sectors people are concerned not for the common good, but for the benefits of power or, at best, for ways to impose their own ideas. Round tables thus become mere negotiating sessions, in which individuals attempt to seize every possible advantage, rather than cooperating in the pursuit of the common good. The heroes of the future will be those who can break with this unhealthy mindset and determine respectfully to promote truthfulness, aside from personal interest. God willing, such heroes are quietly emerging, even now, in the midst of our society.


Book Reviews 5n Dictionary of Canadian Biography, volume xiv: 1911-1920. Edited by RAMSAY cooK and JEAN HAMELIN. Toronto: University ofToronto Press 1998. Pp. xxii, 1247. $100.00 The DCB has a new cover, but don't be alarmed - it's the same DCB we have been accustomed to since 1966. The same breadth of scholarly research, the same rigorous editing, the same impeccable publication, and the same story, in English and French: a tribute, therefore, to the country, its historians, and all those Canadians whose lives fill these pages. In this volume, the original editorial decision to group biographies by death date strikes most forcefully. Here are Canada's war dead, moving accounts of bright young 'lads' and adventuresome 'sisters,' all of whom should have shown up in later volumes of the DCB. Like a tolling bell the editorial marker recurs: 'd. unmarried, 1917, near [town], France.' Officers are here, soldiers too (the DCB is careful to include Native Canadians and a Japanese and a Black Canadian), and even one of the men executed for desertion; their tales are the stuff of movies. (An editorial slip has William James Withrow's son dying just before him, both at the front, in 1917; a calculation from the family details would have the son only nine years old). Like the men standing in for Canada's 59,544 war dead, two of the six nurses are also war fatalities, their deaths (illness and drowning) typical of the thirty-seven others among the 2000 CAMC overseas nurses. The DCB omits to list the nurses among the officers, yet they were lieutenants. But there's more to this volume than war. The entries link Canada's Victorian era with the bright promise of the twentieth century belonging to Canada. Many characters combined traditional ties to Britain with modem ambition for their country and themselves. One example is Robert Bell, whose extensive papers in the National Archives make his entry the tip ofthe iceberg. Born in Canada, Bell acquired a wife in Scotland, and her connections there advanced his scientific career (geological exploration in the eastern Arctic). Bell was also a medical doctor, but his work and his ambition were in exploratory science and the federal civil service, twin structures of the twentieth century. Bell's family facilitated both the modem career and the tie to Britain. Wife and daughters travelled regularly to Britain while he went north. The daughters even attended school in Germany for two years, acquiring not just a scholarly polish that Papa thought much superior to schooling in Ottawa but also many friendships, an outcome of which was an honorary doctorate for father in 1902. Robert paid the acknowledged 512 The Canadian Historical Review debt with another trip to England for daughter Margaret. None of this family contribution to Bell's career is mentioned; there is only the bald editorial statement: 'm. 1873 Agnes Smith, and they had a son and three daughters.' This quibble is merely to suggest to readers that there's always more to the stories and to hint to DCB editors that family in biography may warrant more than a line. More public and familiar than the soldiers or the scientists is Wilfrid Laurier, with an eighteen-page entry. Author Real Belanger makes Laurier more human (often tired, sick, depressed), more political (organization, strategy, policy, even personal whim - that second transcontinental railway), more charming (men and women found him irresistible). He also makes him more responsible for the early end (1896 and 1905) to the Confederation dream of a bilingual and bicultural Canada. Others, however, were spinning different dreams of Canada, and this volume is full of them too. Peanut salesman Francesco Glionna reveals urban immigration and social mobility: family, music, and politics give rise to Toronto's Italian community. The social reformers are also here, Jane Musgrave helping only the worthy, while Florence Hussey demanded equality for women. Even the alphabet favours the modernity of this volume: a Native Canadian opens the book and a Scot closes it. There's a character for everyone's taste here, as the DCB continues to exploit the rich deep mine of Canadian history via biography . The book, the... 2ff7e9595c
