David AUSTIN

In the 1960s, for at least a brief moment, Montreal became what seemed an unlikely centre of Black Power and the Caribbean left. In October 1968 the Congress of Black Writers at McGill University brought together well-known Black thinkers and activists from Canada, the United States, Africa, and the Caribbean–people like C.L.R. James, Stokely Carmichael, Miriam Makeba, Rocky Jones, and Walter Rodney. Within months of the Congress, a Black-led protest at Sir George Williams University (now Concordia) exploded on the front pages of newspapers across the country–raising state security fears about Montreal as the new hotbed of international Black radical politics.

Fear of a Black Nation won the 2014 Casa de las Americas Prize in Caribbean Literature in English or Creole and was a silver medalist in the 2014 Independent Publisher Book Awards - Best Regional Non-Fiction (Canada-East).

Stephen D’ARCY

“What we must see,” Martin Luther King once insisted, “is that a riot is the language of the unheard.” In this new era of global protest and popular revolt, Languages of the Unheard draws on King’s insight to address a timely and controversial topic : the ethics and politics of militant resistance.
Using vivid examples from the history of militancy—including armed actions by Weatherman and the Red Brigades, the LA Riots, the Zapatista uprising, the Mohawk land defence at Kanesatake, the Black Blocs at summit protests, the occupations of Tahrir Square and Zuccotti Park, the Indigenous occupation of Alcatraz, the Quebec Student Strike, and many more—this book will be of interest to democratic theorists and moral philosophers, and practically useful for protest militants attempting to grapple with the moral ambiguities and political dilemmas unique to their distinctive position.
Stephen D’Arcy is an associate professor of philosophy at Huron University College, Western University. A long-time social activist and protest organizer, he teaches and writes about democratic theory and practical ethics.

Karen MESSING

In 1978, when workers at a nearby phosphate refinery learned that the ore they processed was contaminated with radioactive dust, Karen Messing, then a new professor of molecular genetics, was called in to help. Unsure of what to do with her discovery that exposure to the radiation was harming the workers and their families, Messing contacted senior colleagues but they wouldn’t help. Neither the refinery company nor the scientific community was interested in the scary results of her chromosome studies.
Over the next decades Messing encountered many more cases of workers around the world—factory workers, cleaners, checkout clerks, bank tellers, food servers, nurses, teachers—suffering and in pain without any help from the very scientists and occupational health experts whose work was supposed to make their lives easier. Arguing that rules for scientific practice can make it hard to see what really makes workers sick, in Pain and Prejudice Messing tells the story of how she went from looking at test tubes to listening to workers.
Karen Messing is an award-winning (including a Governor General of Canada award and YWCA (Montreal) Women of Distinction) and internationally recognized expert on occupational health. She is the author of more than 130 peer-reviewed scientific articles and the book One-eyed Science : Occupational Health and Working Women. She is also the editor of Integrating Gender in Ergonomic Analysis, which has been translated into six languages.

Professeur Aboubacry MOUSSA LAM

La connaissance est le personnage central de ce roman en pulaar dont la portée équivaut à une œuvre de recherche classique.
Le noir a pendant longtemps fait l’objet d’un regard peu valorisant. Ce sort va pousser Ganndal (la connaissance) a démêler l’écheveau. Il va faire découvrir au noir qu’il est à l’origine des premières conquêtes : État, écriture, religion… Alors, les échafaudages, laborieusement construits contre lui autour des questions telles que celle de la place de la femme et celle de l’enfant, les droits de l’individu au regard de ceux du groupe, tombent.
Ce roman est un raccourci extraordinaire qui permet d’accéder à certains aspects de l’histoire de l’humanité pour tout lecteur capable de lire la langue pulaar dans le texte. Ce roman est retenu pour être traduit en français et dans d’autres langues africaines.

Son auteur, le Professeur Aboubacry MOUSSA LAM, est professeur titulaire à l’Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar. Cet égyptologue qui a été l’assistant de feu Cheikh Anta DIOP en est à son troisième ouvrage édité aux Éditions Papyrus Afrique.

Ruth WALTON

An educational resource to help children explore the issue of fair trade by allowing them to see through the eyes of the children of banana farmers in the Windward Islands. The author spent time with the farmers’ families and she uses the real-life narratives of two young children going about their daily activities to show how bananas grow, problems such as hurricanes which can affect the crop, how they are picked and transported and how they end up in our stores.

The main story is illustrated with colorful collages made from painted textures and photographs from the Islands. Interspersed in the story are boxes with maps, facts and photos giving more detail on the places and methods and challenges. Its ends with banana recipes and ’bigger picture’ descriptions, maps and photos of where bananas come from and examples of social premium funded projects.

With plenty of points for discussion Juliana’s Bananas will give girls and boys an insight into the lives of children like them in the Caribbean and how fair trade premiums help communities all over the world build better living conditions.

Ruth WALTON is skilled in many areas of book design, including illustration, layout and typography. She produces educational books using a combination of letterpress, illustration, collage and photography. She illustrated the « Let’s Find Out series » for Franklin WATTS.

Richard SWIFT

An investigation of the alternatives to capitalism, including socialism, anarchism and deep ecology.

Financial collapse and crisis ; disgust at bankers’ greed ; the devastating effects of yawning inequality : all these and more have led to widespread dissatisfaction and disenchantment with capitalism. people are crying out for an alternative but are continually told that one does not exist.

Richard SWIFT proves this to be wrong with style and assurance. With capitalism vulnerable and out-of-step in the wake of financial crises this book investigates the alternatives that are on offer - including socialism, social democracy, anarchism, ecology and degrowth.

Combining the practical with the visionary, he shows that finding alternatives to capitalism is no longer an academic issue for the left – it is an urgent planetary necessity.

Richard SWIFT is a former editor of New Internationalist magazine and author of the « No-Nonsense Guide to Democracy ». In 2011 he won the Daniel Singer Millenium Prize for an original essay which helps further socialist ideas.

Peter HUDSON

The author has been visiting the same village in Mauritania on the remote edge of the Sahara for over twenty years. This is the story of his most recent journey there – an intense and engaging day-by-day account through which global change and inequality are made human.

The Sahel – the ‘shore’ of the Sahara – is where cultures, customs and climates meet, merge and clash. Through the numerous characters we meet and from the obviously deep and sympathetic nature of the relationship the author has with the local people, with whom he now runs agricultural projects, we learn of the realities of life in one of the harshest, most marginalised and but also quietly inspiring corners of the world.

Searingly honest and refreshing, this is a superbly written piece of travel writing about a little-known part of the world. The author gets under the surface and gives a sensitive account of what life is like. He understands not just the culture and complex social dealings but also how economics and geo-political forces that can profoundly affect the lives of individuals in a remote community.

Illustrated with maps and line drawings « Under An African Sky » is a unique journey – for the armchair traveller and those interested in development, climate change and global politics and economics.

Peter HUDSON runs an international development charity based in Mauritania in West Africa. He has travelled widely in the region and has written several books including « Leaf in the Wind », « Travels in Mauritania » and « Two Rivers ».

Kenza SEFRIOUI

« Une étude pionnière consacrée à une revue maghrébine » [Salim Jay] qui questionne une période essentielle de l’histoire du Maroc.

Créée à Rabat en mars 1966 par un petit groupe de jeunes poètes d’expression française, Souffles a été, tout au long de ses sept années d’existence, une tribune singulière dans le paysage de la presse marocaine, en évoluant du laboratoire d’écriture, où les lecteurs découvrirent notamment Tahar Ben Jelloun ou Mohammed Khaïr- Eddine, à l’engagement culturel et politique.
Avec son projet de restructuration de la culture nationale, elle a porté un véritable mouvement littéraire et intellectuel, avant de devenir la tribune du mouvement marxiste-léniniste. Disparue en 1972, après l’arrestation d’Abdellatif Laâbi et d’Abraham Serfati, son histoire, retracée au travers des textes et des témoignages de ses contributeurs, montre que sa vision moderniste et progressiste invitait à des questionnements toujours d’actualité.

4è de couverture (extrait)
… cette revue, qui aurait pu vivre la vie tranquille d’un cénacle de poètes et d’artistes… a réussi, elle, en une série d’avancées de la conscience, à opérer deux ruptures essentielles : l’une dans le champ culturel et esthétique, l’autre dans le champ politique… »
Abdellatif Laâbi (Extrait de la préface)

Essai

Textes recueillis à Marrakech et traduits par Doctoresse LÉGEY

« J’ai recueilli tous ces contes à Marrakech. Plus heureuse que nombre de folkloristes qui ont dû s’adresser à des intermédiaires, j’ai fait ma récolte directement dans les principaux harems de Marrakech, sur la place de Jâma ‘el-Fna ‘, auprès des conteurs publics ou dans mon cabinet, où venaient s’asseoir et causer Si El-Hasan ou Lalla ‘Abbouch.
Je transcrivais ces contes en français, au fur et à mesure qu’ils m’étaient
contés et, ensuite, pour être bien sûre de n’avoir fait aucune erreur d’interprétation, oublié aucune expression particulière, je les redisais à mon tour en arabe à mes conteurs. Je puis donc affirmer que la version que je donne est aussi près que possible du conte entendu. »
D. LÉGEY (extrait de la 4^e de couverture)

M^me LÉGEY, médecin au Maroc à partir de 1910 et pendant plus de 25 ans, y a soigné des milliers de personnes et contribué à installer des dispensaires et maternités dans plusieurs villes du pays.

Karen LAZAR

“Home is as old as one’s skin but as elusive as an object seen through the wrong end of a telescope.” It is this sense of a view, skewed, intangible, which echoes throughout Karen Lazar’s Hemispheres. Waking in hospital after a post-operative stroke, she finds one side of her body paralysed and her world knocked out of kilter. Spatial, perceptual and subjective changes force her to view her new life in facets. The fragmented view is made apparent by means of a triptych of clusters which charts Karen’s experience from Metamorphosis, through Rehabilitation and Adaptation. Quietly reflective, deeply lyrical, Hemispheres is concerned with returning separated parts into a whole and coming home to the self.

Praise from Isabel Hofmeyr, Professor of African Literature, Wits University :
“ ‘A stroke on one hemisphere of the brain crosses over to manifest … on the opposite side of the body’.

What does it mean to find oneself suddenly living at this lethal crossing ? This exquisite book illuminates how to live with and beyond loss. A superb filigree of acute and finely-crafted pieces, Hemispheres narrates the journey of re-composing life, joy and love from the ‘foreign citadel’ of a body made alien through stroke.

Wry, ironic, comic, joyous, desolate, celebratory, surreal, this mosaic of feeling reconfigures love from loss ; each subtle fragment a tessera against time.

As the pieces delve deep into the self, they reach beyond it. The rehabilitation hospital reeks of personal loss even as it becomes a microcosm of contemporary South Africa. Broken bodies deformed by carnage and violence accumulate in the ward. The medical hierarchy enacts deep-seated forms of South African authoritarianism, the losses of the past inflicted and self-inflicted in petty and cruel ways.

The book becomes a quiet odyssey of affirming life in the face of death. The pieces themselves, weightless and profound, light and dark, half and whole, mirror the contradictions of wrenching life from loss.”

Praise from Joanne Fedler :
“A collection of rare/nuanced and tender insights. Lazar takes us into the gyre of re-orientation post-stroke, sharing what is lost and what is claimed when what you’ve always been and known, changes. A book that pulses with quiet courage and celebrates it in others.”

Karen LAZAR is an English educator at the Wits School of Education. Her MA and Phd, both from Wits, are in South African gender studies. This is Karen’s first volume of (first person) creative nonfiction. Karen had a stroke in 2001, from which she has partially recovered. She lives in Johannesburg.

Jennifer THORPE (author and editor) - the contributors include : Jen THORPE, Karabo KGOLENG (well known radio and media personality), Sarah BRITTEN, and Dorothy BLACK, as well as many other women.

Do you remember your first time ?
As women, we all have a story within us about a sexual experience that was unforgettable. Perhaps it was incredible, earth shattering, life-changing, and wonderful. Perhaps it wasn’t romantic or pleasurable, but awkward, painful or forced upon us. Many of us have kept our experiences secret because, by exposing our stories, we expose ourselves and our feelings around sex.

In My First Time, Southern African women have shared their stories about their significant first time experiences of sex and sexuality. This is a collection of honest, powerful, and brave accounts. Some joyful, others funny and some heartbreaking, but all of them important for women, and hopefully men, to read.

This is the perfect book for you to read to reflect on your own first times. This is the perfect book to share with your mother, siblings, and friends.

Jennifer THORPE is a feminist writer. She’s passionate about sharing women’s stories and women’s writing. She is the creator and curator of stories for the My First Time project and the editor of FeministsSA.com. Jennifer has an MA in Politics from Rhodes University and is studying towards an MA in Creative Writing at UCT. She lives in Cape Town with her boyfriend Mike and her two cats.

Yewande OMOTOSO

Praise for Bom Boy from Nuruddin Farah, author of Links, Knots & Crossbones :
"This is a novel bursting with elegance, written by a young author
brimming with genuine promise. Yewande Omotoso is a stylist with a
literary vision."

Praise for Bom Boy from Joanne Hichens, author of Divine Justice :
’Bom Boy surprises and delights, sings at turns, as it straddles the past and the present, bringing into focus cultural beliefs while examining the intimacies and complexities of bonds of family and friendship. What strikes me most is the originality. This fine debut, firmly rooted in contemporary consciousness, is story-telling of note which whets the appetite for more.’

Leke is a troubled young man living in the suburbs of Cape Town. He develops strange habits of stalking people, stealing small objects and going from doctor to doctor in search of companionship rather than cure. Through a series of letters written to him by his Nigerian father whom he has never met, Leke learns about a family curse ; a curse which his father had unsuccessfully tried to remove. Bom Boy is a well-crafted and complex narrative written with a sensitive understanding of both the smallness and magnitude of a single life.

Yewande OMOTOSO was born in Barbados and grew up in Nigeria with her Nigerian father, West Indian mother and two older brothers. She and her family moved to South Africa in 1992 and have lived there ever since. She is an architect ; space and buildings being a passion of hers second only to words and literature. She currently lives in Cape Town working as a designer, freelance writer and novelist.

Kofi é um menino africano que, certo dia, encontra-se frente a frente com um menino europeu... e ambos têm que lidar com idéias preconcebidas presentes na sociedade em que vivem. O livro traz, adicionalmente, informações sobre Gana, o país onde se passa a história. Excelente ponto de abertura para estudos sobre a África, esse país tem alguns aspectos de particular importância, como o fato de ter sido a porta de entrada dos europeus no continente no século XV e o de ter sido marcado pela atuação de seus líderes no movimento pela independência dos países africanos no século XX.

O livro celebra ainda o encontro entre o escritor e compositor brasileiro e Hélène Moreau, artista francesa que pela primeira vez ilustra um livro no Brasil.

Ilustrador : Rafael FONSECA

O Brasil carrega a marca de ter sido a última nação do mundo a abolir a escravidão. Entre a segunda metade do século XVI e o ano de 1850, data da abolição definitiva do tráfico negreiro, o número de cativos africanos importados é avaliado em cerca de 3,6 milhões de homens. Nosso país transforma-se em um território negro e mestiço.
Entendido como peça, como coisa, o escravo perde sua origem e sua personalidade para se transformar em um ser sem personalidade : um sujeito sem corpo, antepassados, nome ou bens próprios. Era atrás deles que os grandes negociantes atravessavam o oceano rumo à Costa da Mina, Congo ou Moçambique. Os panos da Índia comprados na Ásia não vestiam apenas as cortesãs européias : eram muito apreciados na África. A prata da América espanhola e o ouro mineiro serviam para comprar estes panos, que posteriormente eram trocados por cativos no continente africano.

Em Na rota dos Tubarões, Joel Rufino nos convida para uma aventura através da história e a conhecer um pouco dos caminhos e das origens do tráfico negreiro. Durante essa jornada, descobrimos detalhes dessas viagens, dos grandes navios e das fortunas envolvidas nessa cruel atividade que perdurou até a metade do século XIX.

Depoimentos ao CPDOC

Este livro é resultado de uma pesquisa desenvolvida entre 2003 e 2007 no Centro de Pesquisa e Documentação de História Contemporânea do Brasil (CPDOC) da Fundação Getulio Vargas, com o objetivo de formar um banco de entrevistas com lideranças do movimento negro no Brasil a partir das décadas de 1970 e 1980 em todas as regiões do país. Histórias como a da criação do Grupo Palmares, no Rio Grande do Sul, em 1971, a da fundação do primeiro bloco afro na Bahia, o Ilê Aiyê, em 1974, assim como a da formação do Centro de Estudos e Defesa do Negro do Pará, em 1980, por exemplo, estão, pela primeira vez, lado a lado com histórias de organizações criadas no Rio de Janeiro e em São Paulo. Não se trata das primeiras organizações de movimento negro da história do país, como mostram as inúmeras notas e a cronologia que completa o livro, mas daquelas que surgiram em pleno regime militar e se proliferaram a partir do lento processo de Abertura política, e numa conjuntura internacional na qual ganhavam força as lutas pela libertação das colônias portuguesas na África e as repercussões dos movimentos pelos direitos civis nos EUA.

Além da trajetória do movimento e das experiências de algumas de suas principais lideranças, o livro discute temas com grande visibilidade atual, como a implementação de políticas de ação afirmativa, incluindo as cotas nas universidades, o reconhecimento da propriedade de terras de “quilombos” e a participação de militantes em diferentes instâncias do poder público.
