Abandonnées dès leur naissance, les jumelles Grenier sont restées à la crèche plus de deux ans sans que personne les adopte... jusqu'à ce qu'un couple décide de les accueillir. L'histoire aurait pu se terminer là et avoir une fin heureuse, mais ce fut loin d'être le cas... Dans cette maison, les fillettes ont été martyrisées, physiquement et sexuellement, et confinées dans le noir le plus complet, dans de minuscules couchettes. Durant des années, elles ont vécu dans un climat de terreur perpétuel.

In 2015, the New Democratic Party won an unprecedented victory in Alberta. Unseating the Progressive Conservatives -- who had won every provincial election since 1971 -- they formed an NDP government for the first time in the history of the province. "Orange Chinook" is the first scholarly analysis of this election. It examines the legacy of the Progressive Conservative dynasty, the PC and NDP campaigns, polling, and online politics, providing context and setting the stage for the unprecedented NDP victory.

Environmental Activism on the Ground draws upon a wide range of interdisciplinary scholarship to examine small scale, local environmental activism, paying particular attention to Indigenous experiences. It illuminates the questions that are central to the ongoing evolution of the environmental movement while reappraising the history and character of late twentieth and early twenty-first environmentalism in Canada, the United States, and beyond. This collection considers the different ways in which Indigenous and non-Indigenous activists have worked to achieve significant change.

At a time when the Métis are becoming increasingly visible in Canadian politics, this unique book offers a practical guide for understanding who they are and the challenges they face on the path to self-government. It shows how the Métis are giving life to Louis Riel's vision of a self-governing Métis Nation through the ongoing application of principles of governance that emerged during the fur trade.

Si l'on en croit l'historien Denis Vaugeois, les gens inventent des histoires depuis soixante ans à propos du gouvernement de Maurice Duplessis. Dans le domaine de la politique, l'image généralement acceptée du Québec d'avant la Révolution tranquille est celle d'une société écrasée par une Église catholique omniprésente, avec la complicité d'un gouvernement de l'Union nationale corrompu.

More than fifty years after most Canadian women received the right to vote, very few women were elected as members of Parliament and none came from Quebec. Canada's 1972 federal election marked a refreshing transition. Twice as many female candidates ran for office than in the previous election, and, of the five women elected to the House of Commons that year, three Liberal Party candidates - Monique Bégin, Albanie Morin, and Jeanne Sauvé - shared the honour of being the first Quebec women MPs.

In the wake of Europe's so-called refugee crisis in 2015 and 2016, even traditionally open countries such as Sweden and Germany adopted hostile policies on refugees, closing borders and linking refugees with terrorism and threats to national security. Once deemed taboo, uncharitable conduct towards those in need has become increasingly acceptable, and even desirable, throughout the Western world. From Righteousness to Far Right follows nineteen months of ethnographic fieldwork with a grassroots NGO in a small Swedish village, where over one hundred refugees were housed.

La démocratie représentative canadienne se heurte à de grandes difficultés. Au sommet de leur liste figure l'incapacité croissante du gouvernement national à remplir ses rôles les plus essentiels, soit planifier des actions collectives qui ont un écho dans toutes les régions, en plus de mettre ces mesures en application.

In 2011, political protests sprang up across the world. In the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, the United States unlikely people sparked or led massive protest campaigns from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street. These protests were made up of educated and precariously employed young people who challenged the legitimacy of their political leaders, exposed a failure of representation, and expressed their dissatisfaction with their place in the aftermath of financial and economic crisis.
