ByEverything I Couldn't Tell You
Par Jeff D'Hondt. 2024
Revived from a coma after a traumatic event, Megan’s injuries leave her capable of great violence, forcing her desperate physician…
Cassandra to recruit Alison, an Indigenous clinician, as her consultant. Alison uses an innovative form of technologically enhanced expressive arts therapy to augment the rehabilitative effects of speaking Lenape, their shared (and almost extinct) language. However, this reminder of cultural expression and identity triggers Megan, putting herself into a life-threatening situation. With Megan’s safety in jeopardy, Alison must internalize a life-changing lesson to save her: pain is often unjust, but it also reminds us that we’re alive.Everything I Couldn’t Tell You is a potent reminder of the healing and rehabilitative power within Indigenous languages.Black Clergy in the Church of England: Towards a Sense of Belonging

This book explores the experiences of ordinands and Black clergy of the Church of England (CofE). An increasing number of…
Black ordinands (trainees) from African and Caribbean heritages are choosing a ministerial pathway in the Anglican Communion, which has necessitated insights which recognise what they have to bring from their place of origin. Accounts of some of their relationships in the Church of England have been documented and reports on the issues and challenges of institutionalised racism. Anecdotal reference also suggests that the CofE has become a White institution which has not supported its Black clergy in their ministry. The purpose of this book is to present the lived experience of Black clergy in the Church of England, while highlighting some of the challenges they face and to offer solutions to make the church anti-racist.Droits et voix - Rights and Voices: La criminologie à l'Université d'Ottawa - Criminology at the University of Ottawa (Alternative Perspectives in Criminology)

du département de ses origines à nos jours en mettant l’accent sur les débats théoriques qui ont influencé son approche critique et autoréflexive de la criminologie. Les articles qui le composent s’inscrivent dans cet ordre d’idée en mettant en question la perspective traditionnelle de la criminologie sur divers sujets, notamment les études policières, la santé mentale, la violence politique, le suicide et la prévention du crime. Droits et voix souligne le rôle primordial que joue l’Université d’Ottawa dans la redéfinition de la criminologie et la promotion du militantisme, de la justice sociale et de la compassion. -- This volume commemorates the 40th anniversary of the University of Ottawa’s Department of Criminology, founded in 1968. It relates the history of the department from its origins to today, focusing on the theoretical debates that have influenced its critical and self reflexive approach to criminology. The contributions to this volume continue in that vein by questioning the traditional perspective of criminology on a variety of topics including police studies, mental health, political violence, suicide, and crime prevention. Rights and Voices reveals the significant role that the University of Ottawa has played in redefining criminology to advocate activism, social justice, and compassion.The Forgotten Peace: Mediation at Niagara Falls (Governance Series)
Par Michael Small. 2009
In the early hours of April 22, 1914, American President Woodrow Wilson sent Marines to seize the port of Veracruz…
in an attempt to alter the course of the Mexican Revolution. As a result, the United States seemed on the brink of war with Mexico. An international uproar ensued. The governments of Argentina, Brazil, and Chile offered to mediate a peaceful resolution to the crisis. Surprisingly, both the United States and Mexico accepted their offer and all parties agreed to meet at an international peace conference in Niagara Falls, Ontario. For Canadians, the conference provided an unexpected spectacle on their doorstep, combining high diplomacy and low intrigue around the gardens and cataracts of Canada's most famous natural attraction. For the diplomats involved, it proved to be an ephemeral high point in the nascent pan-American movement. After it ended, the conference dropped out of historical memory. This is the first full account of the Niagara Falls Peace Conference to be published in North America since 1914. The author carefully reconstructs what happened at Niagara Falls, examining its historical significance for Canada's relationship with the Americas. From this almost forgotten event he draws important lessons on the conduct of international mediation and the perils of middle-power diplomacy.Tours et détours: Le mythe de Babel dans la littérature contemporaine
Par Catherine Khordoc. 2012
Tours et détours examine l’inscription du mythe de Babel dans la littérature contemporaine de langue française. Le mythe s’avère une…
source d’inspiration pour les auteurs examinés qui évoquent justement des phénomènes sociaux actuels, tels que le multiculturalisme, l’immigration, l’exil, la pluralité des langues, la traduction et l’identité. Les ouvrages étudiés, tous écrits en français mais issus de différents contextes linguistiques et culturels, mettent en lumière de nouvelles interprétations du mythe de Babel. Pendant longtemps le mythe de Babel et la pluralité linguistique et culturelle qui s’ensuivent ont été considérés une malédiction pour l’humanité, mais les romans à l’étude remettent en question cette vision négative. Sans exalter les bienfaits de la multiplicité, ils considèrent comment la pluralité linguistique et culturelle enrichit et façonne la production littéraire ainsi que le monde contemporain. Les auteurs et œuvres étudiés sont • Monique Bosco, Babel-Opéra • Hédi Bouraoui, Ainsi parle la tour CN • Francine Noël, Babel, prise deux ou Nous avons tous découvert l’Amérique • Ernest Pépin, Tambour-Babel • Jorge Semprun, L’AlgarabieDouble-Voicing the Canadian Short Story (Canadian Literature Collection)
Par Laurie Kruk. 2016
Double-Voicing the Canadian Short Story is the first comparative study of eight internationally and nationally acclaimed writers of short fiction:…
Sandra Birdsell, Timothy Findley, Jack Hodgins, Thomas King, Alistair MacLeod, Olive Senior, Carol Shields and Guy Vanderhaeghe. With the 2013 Nobel Prize for Literature going to Alice Munro, the “master of the contemporary short story,” this art form is receiving the recognition that has been its due and—as this book demonstrates—Canadian writers have long excelled in it. From theme to choice of narrative perspective, from emphasis on irony, satire and parody to uncovering the multiple layers that make up contemporary Canadian English, the short story provides a powerful vehicle for a distinctively Canadian “double-voicing”. The stories discussed here are compelling reflections on our most intimate roles and relationships and Kruk offers a thoughtful juxtaposition of themes of gender, mothers and sons, family storytelling, otherness in Canada and the politics of identity to name but a few. As a multi-author study, Double-Voicing the Canadian Short Story is broad in scope and its readings are valuable to Canadian literature as a whole, making the book of interest to students of Canadian literature or the short story, and to readers of both.Les écritures noires du Canada: L'Atlantique noir et la présence du passé (Études canadiennes)
Par Winfried Siemerling. 2021
The Black Atlantic Reconsidered is the first comprehensive work to explore Black Canadian literature from its beginnings to the present…
in the broader context of the Black Atlantic world. Winfried Siemerling traces the evolution of black Canadian witnessing and writing from slave testimony in New France and the 1783 "Book of Negroes" through the work of contemporary black Canadian writers including Austin Clarke, George Elliott Clarke, Dionne Brand, Wayde Compton, and Esi Edugyan.Arguing that Black writing in Canada is deeply imbricated in a historic transnational network, Winfried Siemerling explores the powerful presence of Black Canadian history, slavery, the Underground Railroad, and the Black diaspora in the work of contemporary Black Canadian writers.Individual chapters examine the literature that has emerged from Quebec, Nova Scotia, the Prairies, and British Columbia, with attention to writing in both English and French.Les littératures franco-canadiennes à l’épreuve du temps (Archives des lettres canadiennes)

franco-canadiens, restent fascinées par les sémantiques de l’espace. Elles en oublient leur longue histoire et renoncent, par là, aux riches taxonomies liées au passé collectif et à la mémoire, tant elles s’entêtent à coïncider avec les territoires imaginés, géographiques et identitaires, où elles s’inscrivent. » Lucie Hotte et François Paré ont réuni des études qui témoignent du dynamisme de l’activité littéraire franco-canadienne marquée par l’histoire, mais aussi représentative de l’image que chacune des collectivités se fait d’elle-même et de son avenir. Les œuvres analysées illustrent la recherche esthétique d’une grande originalité, menée par les écrivains franco-canadiens dans des conditions souvent difficiles sur le plan des institutions littéraires et des moyens de publication ou de diffusion. Cet ouvrage réunit les textes de Marie Carrière, Jeanette den Toonder, Grégoire Holtz, Lucie Hotte, Kathleen Kellett, Louise Ladouceur, Jean Morency, François Paré, Pamela V. Sing, Jimmy Thibeault et Emmanuelle Tremblay. En somme, une multiplicité de regards et une synthèse unique sur la francophonie canadienne durant plus de quatre siècles d’écriture. Une coédition avec le Centre de recherche en civilisation canadienne-française.
