Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The life, work and activism of Rocky Jones are central to African-Canadian history and the civil rights movement in Canada. Canadians lost a great soul, with the recent death of Rocky Jones, but his autobiography co-written by James Walker, a close friend of Rocky Jones and one of our foremost writers about Black history in Canada is a wonderful gift to the entire country. Revolutionary will soon be required reading for any person who seeks to understand the civil rights movement in Canada. Lawrence HillA must read, a manual for all freedom fighters, and a testament to Rocky Jones' and Black power and resilience.- Afua CooperAny telling of human rights and social equity in Canada would be incomplete without reference to "revolutionary" Rocky Jones' truth-telling about his life captured in this compelling exemplary autobiography. This insightful account is not only about life as an African Nova Scotian, but also about the community, law, politics.- Carl JamesBorn and raised in Truro, Nova Scotia, Burnley "Rocky" Jones is one of Canada's most important figures of social justice. Often referred to as Canada's Stokely Carmichael, Jones was tirelessly dedicated to student movements, peace activism, Black Power, anti-racism, women's liberation and human rights reform. He was a leader in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, brought the Black Panthers to Canada, taught at Dalhousie and founded his own law firm.This autobiography tells the story of Jones's inimitable life and his accomplishments.But it also does more. It illuminates the Black experience in Nova Scotia, it explains the evolving nature of race relations and human rights in recent Canadian history, and it reveals the origins of the "remedial" approach to racial equality that is now practised by activists and governments.Finally, the story of Rocky Jones is a reminder that human rights are not a gift, but a prize that must be fought for.

ISBN 10: 0889202893; ISBN 13: 9780889202894. Walker, James W. St. G. Race, Rights and the Law in the Supreme Court of Canada: Historical Case Studies. The Osgoode Society, Toronto, ON, Canada, 1997. Cloth hardcover, fine, as new, in a fine dust jacket. Internally clean. $10. * Four cases in which the legal issue was "race" - that of a Chinese restaurant owner who was fined for employing a white woman; a black man who was refused service in a bar; a Jew who wanted to buy a cottage but was prevented by the property owners' association; and a Trinidadian of East Indian descent who was acceptable to the Canadian army but was rejected for immigration on grounds of "race" - drawn from the period between 1914 and 1955, are intimately examined to explore the role of the Supreme Court of Canada and the law in the racialization of Canadian society. With painstaking research into contemporary attitudes and practices, Walker demonstrates that Supreme Court Justices were expressing the prevailing "common sense" about "race" in their legal decisions. He shows that injustice on the grounds of "race" has been chronic in Canadian history, and that the law itself was once instrumental in creating these circumstances. The book concludes with a controversial discussion of current directions in Canadian law and their potential impact on Canada's future as a multicultural society.…
