  • The Anarchist and the Devil Do Cabaret PDF Download
    The Anarchist And The Devil Do Cabaret PDF Author: Norman Nawrocki Pages: 196 pages ISBN: 9781551642048 Chronicles an anarcho-rock'n'roll cabaret band touring the hard way--in a crowded van. When the internationally acclaimed rock'n'roll cabaret band Rhythm Activism toured Europe in order to promote their newest CD, it was through a Europe in transition that they traveled--a Europe marked by political and racial tension. Being equally at home in hard core clubs, poetry festivals, soup kitchens, the netherworld of squats, or urine drenched dives and youthfully, defiant haunts where cultural resistance rules, they drew immediate followers. The Anarchist and The Devil Do Cabaret is an amazing portrayal of that tour, told with a sense of humor, a down-to-earth perception, and in the tradition of Jack Kerouac's On the Road or Henry Rollins' Get In the Van. Inspired by encounters with Europe's new multi-racial underclass-- the working poor, street people, immigrants, refugees, marginalized youth, the aged--this book is not merely an insider's look into the state of rock'n'roll, it is, as well, a commentary on the state of Europe in the late 20th century. In a wonderful reversal of tradition, every so often Nawrocki slips from his chronicles of life on the road into short fiction pieces. These stories, real and exaggerated, are filled with a cast of friends, lovers, and fellow travelers--panhandlers and anarchists, the unemployed and underemployed dreaming of better times, neo-Nazis and skinheads trapped in hateful lives, prostitutes risking everything, gypsy ghetto boys fighting racism, and even the sometimes riotous band members themselves.

  • Déplacés / Mal Placés : Le « Making-Of » D'un Album D'activiste
    Déplacés / Mal placés : le « making-of » d’un album d’activiste Par Norman Nawrocki, traduit de l’anglais par Maya Nazaruk La motivation C’étaient les photos d’actualités en ligne. Des bateaux surchargés, faisant naufrage. Des bras tendus frénétiquement hors de l’eau bouillonnante. Des cadavres de nourrissons rejetés sur le rivage. Le niveau de cette noire mer Méditerranée qui monte toujours plus haut à cause de toutes les larmes des disparus. Tous ces réfugiés désespérés, sans vie maintenant parmi les poissons incrédules : « C’est ainsi qu’ils traitent leurs semblables ? » Pour ceux et celles qui habitent loin des zones ciblées par la guerre, la famine, le combat et l’inhumanité, ces non-Blancs, non-Européens, non-Nord-Américains sont accessoires et oubliables. Ils représentent les non comptabilisés, les refusés et les abandonnés, sans traces, noms ou rêves mesurables. Aux yeux des détenteurs du pouvoir mondial, leurs destins sont sans importance. En regardant cette tragédie terrible se dérouler jour après jour, comment pouvais-je, moi, un activiste montréalais et un artiste anarchiste, garder le silence? Je me suis senti interpellé à y répondre, pour mieux comprendre les enjeux et pour aider à arrêter les crimes. En cours de route, je me suis rendu compte que les cris que j’ai entendus de ceux et celles d’outre-mer forcés à abandonner leurs maisons se répercutaient aussi à travers l’Amérique du Nord et ailleurs – cris d’autres personnes expulsées pour des raisons différentes. Des déplacements violents se produisaient dans ma propre ville, dans des quartiers généralement pauvres de Montréal ayant déjà appartenu aux classes ouvrières : Verdun, St-Henri, Hochelaga, Parc Ex.
