Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avez-vous déjà entendu parler du Bataillon Noir? Il n’est jamais trop tard pour découvrir l’existence du 2e Bataillon de construction, aussi appelé le Bataillon Noir. Durant la Première Guerre mondiale, comme tant de jeunes gens courageux, de nombreux hommes Noirs ont voulu s’enrôler, mais pour la plupart, ils ont été rejetés. C’est pourquoi le Bataillon Noir a été formé. C’était une unité de travail qui abattait des arbres et produisait du bois d’oeuvre. Ces hommes étaient tout de même des soldats et c’est avec fierté qu’ils ont servi le Canada. Il nous appartient de nous remémorer leur contribution, au même titre que celle d’autres soldats, à l’occasion de la journée du Souvenir et tout au long de l’année. Ce poème en vers libres sur les soldats canadiens Noirs aborde des sujets comme le racisme et la discrimination dans un format accessible aux jeunes lecteurs. Le glossaire et les questions de réflexion aident les pédagogues, les parents et les tuteurs à ouvrir le dialogue avec les enfants sur les enjeux soulevés dans Nous honorons le Bataillon Noir.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Intimate Guyana Journey is a spellbinding tale of love and legacy with characters as rich and diverse as the landscape. Set in the lush and wild coast of Guyana, An Intimate Guyana Journey is a coming-of-age story about a boy uncovering his roots and discovering his destiny, and an old woman’s quest to make peace with her family. When Vernon’s mother falls gravely ill, he stays with the owner of the plantation where his father works, an old woman named Madeline. While he is with her and as the story progresses, Madeline slowly uncovers her family’s history—an intricate, intimate tale of love and loss—and the truth about her connection to Vernon’s mother. Spanning four generations, roughly a hundred years, from 1873–1972, the story presses upon love’s infinite and healing nature and the power of compassion and understanding.
Book Synopsis Father Rick Roamin' Catholic by : Rick Prashaw
Download or read book Father Rick Roamin' Catholic written by Rick Prashaw and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2022-02-04 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a boy, he played a priest saying Mass. Fast forward to the ’70s—long hair and rock-n-roll—a time for enjoying a new freedom as a budding young journalist at the Vancouver Sun. But after a random, chance trip to Seattle to visit family at a rectory, his life changed in an instant. Because when God calls, you answer. Father Rick thrived in the Second Vatican Council Reformation. He helped build communities and opened minds and hearts through his humour, passion, and understanding. Eleven years passed, and Father Rick began to feel the familiar pull of change. Love finds a way. He could no longer deny his new calling—husband to Suzanne and Dad to an irascible Adam who would lead him to forever love. Father Rick, Roamin’ Catholic is an eye-opening memoir shining a light on faith, religion, and the little-known life of priests. There is joy and mischief in the stories Rick tells a niece in Toronto as they munch Easter eggs on Good Friday during the Covid pandemic. He writes about a Church’s declining attendance and troubling issues, right beside miracles, good works, and good people. “My faith was now more Roamin’ than Roman Catholic, a God bigger than any catechism taught me. Be who we are. Love who we love. A believer, still standing."

Download or read book Toke Street written by David Clutchey and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2022-02-25 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the mid-1940's. A time of war, a time of Peace. In a gold mining town in Northern Ontario, a group of semi delinquents struggled with both. Yet in their own hilarious way, they found a method of coping with lofty expectations, a dysfunctional school system, and unrequited loves. Their exploits blurred the lines of the law, sometimes above, sometimes below, and sometimes in between. The motley group of adolescents led by Mucker DelGuidice, Soupbone Southam, Ole Hansen, and Dink Knowles cluttered the front of Ross' Groceries and Everything Else store on Toke Street where they hatched the plots that changed lives, including their own. Their domain included Gillies Lake whose ownership they claimed by virtue of squatter's rights. Here their canoes plied the waters in summer and their skates sliced the frozen ice in winter. The new Hollinger houses on Cherry Street, and Patricia Boulevard, and the homes on Toke Street and Lakeshore Road were their shelters. Nothing could break their bonds or come between them except, Jeannie. Only the sharpest of men, a Toke street resident-lawyer kept them out of jail. Their travels led them to a legendary lady, whose own life was marred with tragedy. She was Princess Maggie Leclair, a Chippewa who lived on Kamiscotia mountain. A soothsayer. Little did they know that for many, a warm night in September would be their last night on the shores of Gillies Lake.

Book Synopsis Arab Women in Algeria by : Hubertine Auclert
Download or read book Arab Women in Algeria written by Hubertine Auclert and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents the first English edition of Hubertine Auclert's Arab Women in Algeria which offers a unique picture of Algerian society in late 19th century. Hubertine Auclert (1848-1914) was one of the foremost militants for women's political rights in France from the mid-1870s. She lived in Algeria from 1888 to 1892, where she investigated the customs and traditions that defined the condition of women. She witnessed both the exploitation of women and that of the colonized people; in doing so, she drew a picture of colonial Algerian society. While women were mistreated by men (sale of prepubescent girls into marriage, forced marriage, repudiation permitted only to men, polygamy), Arab men were mistreated by the colonial administration and excluded from the government of Algeria. She denounced the contradictions and hypocrisy of French justice, which often enforced, for their own interest, the "anomalies" of Muslim law in contradiction with French law. The last chapter of the book comprises of several striking anecdotes that illustrate the author's theoretical views. Jacqueline Grenez Brovender is a freelance translator and a former lecturer in French at Tufts University. Denise Brahimi-Chapuis taught in French and Algerian universities about the relationship between France and the Maghreb and its effect on women.
Book Synopsis Yesterday's Self by : Andreea Deciu Ritivoi
Download or read book Yesterday's Self written by Andreea Deciu Ritivoi and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2002 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Yesterday's Self, Andreea Ritivoi explores the philosophical and historical dimensions of nostalgia in the lives of immigrants, forging a connection between current trends in the philosophy of identity and intercultural studies. The book considers such questions as, Does attachment to one's native culture preclude or merely influence adaptation into a new culture? Do we fashion our identity in interdependence with others, or do we shape it in a non-contingent frame? Is it possible to assimilate in an unfamiliar world without risking self-alienation? Ritivoi's response: nostalgia is both the poison and the cure in such situations.

Book Synopsis Modernity and Nostalgia by : Romy Golan
Download or read book Modernity and Nostalgia written by Romy Golan and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Golan argues that reactionary issues such as anti-urbanism, the return to the soil, regionalism, corporatism, xenophobia, and doubts about the new technology became central to cultural and art-historical discourse. Focusing on the overlap of avant-garde and middle-of-the-road production, she investigates the import of these issues not only in, painting, sculpture, and architecture (concentrating on the work of Leger, Picasso, Le Corbusier, Ozenfant, Derain, the Surrealists, and the so-called naifs), but also in the decorative arts, in the spectacle of world and colonial fairs, and in literature. Throughout she finds evidence that artists turned from the aesthetics of the machine age toward a more organic, naturalistic art. This leads her to ask whether the famous and momentous shift of the avant-garde from Paris to New York in 1939 did not, in fact, begin two decades earlier, in 1918.
