Il y a d'abord une violence aveugle et indicible. Les disparus, les torturés, les fusillés, les exilés, les prisonniers politiques de la dictature militaire en Argentine, entre 1976 et 1983. Puis une femme écrivaine, professeure et psychanalyste tente de trouver les mots du témoin, de l'otage, de la captive, de les sortir de la chair traumatisée de sa mémoire : Susana Romano Sued publie en 2007 Procedimiento Memoria de La Perla y La Ribera. Et Guylaine Massoutre a pris le risque de la lire, de l'entendre, d'écrire à partir des mots et du cri de l'autre.

Reginald-better known as 'Dutch'-Thompson is a multi-faceted storyteller with unforgettable voices-those of Roy from Murray Harbour North, Adelaide from Bunbury, Gus from Chepstow, and countless others-to tell the stories of the Bygone days in Prince Edward Island [sometimes NS, too].

In Burning the Books, Richard Ovenden describes the deliberate destruction of knowledge held in libraries and archives from ancient Alexandria to contemporary Sarajevo, from smashed Assyrian tablets in Iraq to the destroyed immigration documents of the UK Windrush generation.

He also looks at attempts to prevent and mitigate attacks on knowledge, exploring the efforts of librarians and archivists to preserve information, often risking their own lives in the process.

Through a combination of historical and contemporary analysis this book shows how settler colonialism, as a mode of racial capitalism, has made and remade Winnipeg and the Canadian Prairie West over the past one hundred and fifty years. It traces the emergence of a 'dominant bloc', or alliance, in Winnipeg that has imagined and installed successive regional development visions to guarantee its own wealth and power.

The epic history of consumption, and the goods that have transformed our lives over the past 600 years What we consume has become the defining feature of our lives: our economies live or die by spending, we are treated more as consumers than workers, and even public services are presented to us as products in a supermarket. In this monumental study, acclaimed historian Frank Trentmann unfolds the extraordinary history that has shaped our material world, from late Ming China, Renaissance Italy and the British Empire to the present.

"Every thinking American must read" (The Washington Book Review) this startling and "insightful" (The New York Times) look at how concentrated financial power and consumerism has transformed American politics, and business.
