Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Many Canadians know that Viola Desmond is the first Black, non-royal woman to be featured on Canadian currency. But fewer know the details of Viola Desmond's life and legacy. In 1946, Desmond was arrested for refusing to give up her seat in a whites-only section of a movie theatre in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. Her singular act of courage was a catalyst in the struggle for racial equality that eventually ended segregation in Nova Scotia.Authors Graham Reynolds and Wanda Robson (Viola's sister) look beyond the theatre incident and provide new insights into her life. They detail not only her act of courage in resisting the practice of racial segregation in Canada, but also her extraordinary achievement as a pioneer African Canadian businesswoman. In spite of the widespread racial barriers that existed in Canada during most of the twentieth century, Viola Desmond became the pre-eminent Black beauty culturist in Canada, establishing the first Black beauty studio in Halifax and the Desmond School of Beauty Culture. She also created her own line of beauty products.Accessible, concise and timely, this book tells the incredible, important story of Viola Desmond, considered by many to be Canada's Rosa Parks.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Encampments occupied by unhoused and precariously sheltered people have proliferated in recent years in cities and towns across Canada. While right-to-housing legislation and other rights protections exist on paper, their minimal legal force has left municipalities mostly free to use policing and bylaw enforcement to remove encampments from public spaces. The result is unnoticed but devastating violence against highly vulnerable people who have no choice but to survive in public spaces. Anti-encampment bylaws raise the question of what legal and moral rights unhoused people have to live in public space. The Bylaw State shows that bylaws are powerful municipal instruments. Far from being innocuous laws enforced by municipal workers, bylaws have quietly emerged over the last two decades as the method of governing homelessness in Canada. Case studies in Prince George and Vancouver demonstrate the extraordinary expansion of municipal bylaws and the place of courts in defending the legal rights of homeless people to take up public space. Legal scholar Alexandra Flynn and sociologist Joe Hermer explain how municipalities create an exclusionary ideal of public space through evictions and banishment, and they make a powerful case for a more inclusive approach that protects people not just spaces. Cities weaponize bylaws to manage, regulate, and police the mobility and conditions of unhoused people living in encampments amid a massive housing crisis.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. With universities tightening their grip on dissent, speech, and creativity, the opportunities for marginalized students to access radical curriculum and mentorship are shrinking. A Feel for Thinking is a salve in these bleak conditions: a study guide for readers who want ground themselves in radical ideas. In conversational style, Sharon Luk offers an orientation to long-standing ideas rooted in social justice traditions, helping readers who want to ground themselves in radical ideas. Drawing on the conceptual work of major thinkers like Cedric Robinson on racial capitalism, Robyn Maynard and Ruth Wilson Gilmore on abolition, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson on Indigenous traditions of world-making, and Robin D.G. Kelley, Fred Moten, and Stefano Harney on solidarity, Luk suffuses A Feel for Thinking with personal stories of her own wayfinding through these complex ideas. Refuting the cynical expression, "those who can't do, teach," Luk proves that, on the contrary, those who teach, do. Luk demonstrates her skill in critical pedagogy, encouraging and supporting readers to cultivate their intellectual practice to anchor themselves in their uniqueness and specificities in struggle with others. A pocket book on big ideas in social justice for those seeking refuge in learning. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

This is the tale of a young cougar, Ajig, who makes this sacrifice and pays dearly. A curious and adventurous cougar, Ajig decides to build a new home in a strange forest. When he finds that all of the animals in the forest are afraid of him, Ajig agrees to stop behaving like a cougar so that he can make friends.
