Summary:

Allie, Mary, Valencia, and Sheila were pretty occupied with their lives. They were working, partying, and moving on, drama-free. Everything seemed to be going linear. At least that's what they thought. And for a while, it was even true.

One night, Sheila has a very vivid dream about Allie. Not knowing who to talk to, she ends up telling Valencia, just for the sake of feeling lighter. But things took a different turn. Because little did she know, bad dreams sometimes come to reality.

From then on, everything good about their lives collapsed. From losing a husband to uncovering family secrets, everything circling in these ladies' lives seems to have a story of complex emotions and magic-a story falling into place one by one. But this is just the beginning.

Will these ladies, once again, be defeated at the hands of fate? Or maybe this time, it's war.

Title: Boat

Author: Lisa Robertson

Narrator: Lisa Robertson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 03:22:37

Language: English

Release date: 09-30-22

Publisher: ECW Press

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Poetry

Summary:

From the author of The Baudelaire Fractal, a poetry classic, with new work

In 2004, boldly original poet Lisa Robertson published a chapbook, Rousseaus Boat, poems culled from years of notebooks that are, nevertheless, by no means autobiographical. In 2010, she expanded the work into a full-length book, Rs Boat. During the pandemic, she was drawn back into decades of journals to shape Boat. These poems bring fresh vehemence to Robertsons ongoing examination of the changing shape of feminism, the male-dominated philosophical tradition, the daily forms of discourse, and the possibilities of language itself.

Title: Blocking Public Participation: The Use of Strategic Litigation to Silence Political Expression

Author: Byron Sheldrick

Narrator: Miles Meili

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:55:37

Language: English

Release date: 09-28-22

Publisher: Wilfrid Laurier University Press

Genres: Non-Fiction, Politics, Law, Political Advocacy

Summary:

Strategic litigation against public participation (SLAPP) involves lawsuits brought by individuals, corporations, groups, or politicians to curtail political activism and expression. An increasingly large part of the political landscape in Canada, they are often launched against those protesting, boycotting, or participating in some form of political activism.

A common feature of SLAPPs is that their intention is rarely to win the case or secure a remedy; rather, the suit is brought to create a chill on political expression. Blocking Public Participation examines the different types of litigation and causes of action that frequently form the basis of SLAPPs, and how these lawsuits transform political disputes into legal cases, thereby blocking political engagement. The resource imbalance between plaintiffs and defendants allows plaintiffs to tie up defendants in complex and costly legal processes. The book also examines the dangers SLAPPs pose to political expression and to the quality and integrity of our democratic political institutions. Finally, the book examines the need to regulate SLAPPs in Canada and assesses various regulatory proposals.

In Canada, considerable attention has been paid to the legalization of politics and the impact on the Charter in diverting political activism into the judicial arena. SLAPPs, however, are an under-studied element of this process, and in their obstruction of political engagement through recourse to the courts they have profound implications for democratic practice.

Title: History of Antisemitism in Canada

Author: Ira Robinson

Narrator: Dan Rosen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:31:27

Language: English

Release date: 09-27-22

Publisher: Wilfrid Laurier University Press

Genres: History, Americas

Summary:

This state-of-the-art account gives readers the tools to understand why antisemitism is such a controversial subject. It acquaints readers with the ambiguities inherent in the historical relationship between Jews and Christians and shows these ambiguities in play in the unfolding relationship between Jews and Canadians of other religions and ethnicities. It examines present relationships in light of history and considers particularly the influence of antisemitism on the social, religious, and political history of the Canadian Jewish community.

A History of Antisemitism in Canada builds on the foundation of numerous studies on antisemitism in general and on antisemitism in Canada in particular, as well as on the growing body of scholarship in Canadian Jewish studies. It attempts to understand the impact of antisemitism on Canada as a whole and is the first comprehensive account of antisemitism and its effect on the Jewish community of Canada. The book will be valuable to students and scholars not only of Canadian Jewish studies and Canadian ethnic studies but of Canadian history.

Summary:

Motherlode: A Mosaic of Dutch Wartime Experience is Carolyne Van Der Meers creative reinterpretation through short stories, poems, and essays of the experiences of her mother and other individuals who either spent their childhoods in Nazi-occupied Holland or were deeply affected by wartime in Holland. The book documents the authors personal journey as she uncovers her mothers past through their correspondence and discussion and through research in the Netherlands. Motherlode also considers motherdaughter relationships and the effect of wartime on motherhood.

Motherlode is not about recording precise historical data; rather, it attempts to recover and interpret the complex emotions of the individuals growing up in wartime. The book is based on interviews with the authors mother and other Dutch Canadians, interviews with and letters from Canadian Jewish war veterans, and information provided by individuals with direct or indirect experience of the Dutch Resistance. The creative pieces explore onderduik (going into/being in hiding), life in an occupied country, the work of the Dutch Resistance, liberation, collective and individual cultural memory, and the way in which wartime childhoods shaped adulthood for these individuals.
