Title: Horses in the Sand: A Memoir

Author: Lorrie Potvin

Narrator: Cheri Maracle

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:06:30

Language: English

Release date: 03-30-23

Publisher: ECW Press

Genres: Biography & Memoir, History & Culture, General, Women

Summary:

A sequel to First Gear: A Motorcycle Memoir, Horses in the Sand is a collection of stories that document a queer Métis womans journey from her sparse beginnings as a child to becoming a tradeswoman, teacher, and artist. With courage, humour, and frank honesty, the stories describe what it was like to grow up as a girl who was starkly different from 'normal' and how 'coming out' became a lifelong process of self-acceptance and changing identities. Potvins tales also speak to the difficulties in participating in and maintaining healthy adult relationships when childhood foundations are rooted in violence and trauma, culminating with a triumphant account of fulfilling a long-time dream of buying land and building a home with her own hands. Ultimately, this memoir is a celebration of making art, telling stories, and of finding her birth father, a family of half siblings, and an Indigenous community whose presence she had always felt, but to which she never knew she belonged.

Title: Gentrification Is Inevitable and Other Lies

Author: Leslie Kern

Narrator: Parmida Vand

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:34:21

Language: English

Release date: 03-30-23

Publisher: ECW Press

Genres: Non-Fiction, Politics, Social Science, Public Policy

Summary:

From the author of the best-selling Feminist City, this urbanites guide to gentrification knocks down the myths and exposes the forces behind the most urgent housing crisis of our time.

Gentrification is no longer a phenomenon to be debated by geographers or downplayed by urban plannersits an experience lived and felt by working-class people everywhere. Leslie Kern travels to Toronto, Vancouver, New York, London, and Paris to look beyond the familiar and false stories we tell ourselves about class, money, and taste. What she brings back is an accessible, radical guide on the often-invisible forces that shape urban neighbourhoods: settler-colonialism, racism, sexism, ageism, ableism, and more.

Gentrification is not inevitable if city lovers work together to turn the tide. Kern examines resistance strategies from around the world and calls for everyday actions that empower everyone, from displaced peoples to long-time settlers. We can mobilize, demand reparations, and rewrite the story from the ground up.

Language: English

Release date: 03-30-23

Publisher: ECW Press

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction, General

Summary:

Shortlisted for the Atwood Gibson Writers Trust Fiction Prize

Homage to Jean Genets antihero and a brilliant reimagining of the ancient form of tragedy, Querelle of Roberval, winner of the Marquis de Sade Prize, is a wildly imaginative story of justice, passion, and murderous revenge.

As a millworkers strike in the northern lumber town of Roberval drags on, tensions start to escalate between the workersbut when a lockout renews their solidarity, they rally around the mysterious and magnetic influence of Querelle, a dashing newcomer from Montreal. Strapping and unabashed, likeable but callow, by day he walks the picket lines and at night moves like a mythic Adonis through the ranks of young men who flock to his apartment for sex. As the dispute hardens and both sides refuse to yield, sand stalls the gears of the economic machine and the tinderbox of class struggle and entitlement ignites in a firestorm of passions carnal and violent. Trenchant social drama, a tribute to Jean Genets antihero, and a brilliant reimagining of the ancient form of tragedy, Querelle of Roberval, winner of Frances Marquis de Sade Prize, is a wildly imaginative story of justice, passion, and murderous revenge.

Title: Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams

Author: Jennifer Lamont Leo

Narrator: Jennifer Lamont Leo

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:56:16

Language: English

Release date: 03-29-23

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: Historical Romance, Clean & Wholesome

Summary:

Hollywood, 1933. Selling perfume in a department store is far from the life Helen Corrigan envisioned when she headed for Hollywood with stars in her eyes. Beneath the glittering exterior, things in Tinseltown are seldom what they seem, and Helen fights to maintain her moral scruples amid trials and temptations. However, she's not about to give up on her dream of acting in wholesome movies. All she needs is a break. But what if the only 'break' involves her heart?

Screenwriter Rusty Noble has one goal in mind: to make moving pictures that uplift and inspire their audiences. But his thankless job at Cooperman Studios keeps him toiling away on B-grade movies. Worse, box-office sensation Cynthia Starling--beloved by audiences and detested by those who have to work with her--won't let Rusty out of her talons. The idea of breaking away and starting fresh with his own studio seems a sketchy pipe dream at best, a career-ending fiasco at worst.

This story of hope, heartbreak, and healing along the Boulevard of Broken Dreams will linger with readers long after they close the book.

Title: Subversive Action: Extralegal Practices for Social Justice

Author: Deena Mandell, Nilan Yu

Narrator: Braden Wright, Victoria Carr

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:09:18

Language: English

Release date: 03-28-23

Publisher: Wilfrid Laurier University Press

Genres: Non-Fiction, Social Science

Summary:

Subversive Action presents cases that explore the use of extralegal action undertaken in pursuit of human rights and social justice, and locate that action with reference to the boundaries of social work. Definitions of social work often include goals of social change, social justice, empowerment, and the liberation of people, but social work texts make little mention of extralegal actions. Mainstream conceptions of social work usually consider it to fall within the framework of particular legal and societal contexts. As such, it is presented with boundaries for legitimate action even as it espouses principles that may require it to challenge these boundaries. How does one do social work in legal and societal contexts that challenge these principles with institutional and state-mandated exclusion and discrimination? Should social workers simply act within the bounds of the law in line with their professional sanction and mandate? Do their actions qualify as social work if they are beyond the limits of the law? The essays in this volume, by authors from around the world, raise these questions by providing a basis for reflection about the claims we make in social work embodied in discourses on social justice and human rights.
