Noble Illusions Young Canada Goes to War Stephen Dale

One hundred years ago saw the declaration of a war that would forever change our understanding of war. With a staggering loss of life, World War One was, by all accounts, a brutal and devastating tragedy. And yet, on the eve of the hundredth anniversary, countries around the world are preparing to commemorate the Great War not with regret but with nationalist pride. Conservative forces, already well into a program to elevate the place of the military in society, are embracing the opportunity to replace today’s apparent cynicism with an unquestioning patriotism similar to that which existed a century ago. Politicians on both sides of the Atlantic are imploring their citizens — especially their youth — to revive the sense of duty embodied in the generation that served in the trenches. pb 9781552666494 / $18.95 But is the ennobling nature of patriotism the real lesson that people today should 112pp extract from that now-vanished generation’s experience? Through a dialogue with Rights: World /September a pop-culture artifact from a lost world — a boys’ annual called Young Canada — Noble Illusions examines the use of propaganda to glorify racist colonial wars Contents and, in the wake of those, the Great War. A juxtaposition of earnest instruction The Past as a Part of the Present • A World of Duty, Discovery and Death • In the on the cultivation of everyday virtues and brutal tales of war masquerading as Thick of Things • Looking Forward moral lessons on valour and righteousness, Young Canada helped to persuade a generation of young Canadians to head eagerly to the trenches of World War One. Concerned that the rise of militarism is leading today’s youth in a similar direction, Stephen Dale offers this examination as an inoculation against the blind patriotism politicians are working so hard to instill.

About Canada: Poverty Jim Silver

For a country as wealthy as Canada, poverty is utterly unnecessary. InAbout Canada: Poverty, Jim Silver illustrates that poverty is about more than a shortage of money: it is complex and multifaceted and can profoundly damage the human spirit. At the centre of this analysis are Canada’s neoliberal economic policies, which have created conditions that make a growing number of people vulnerable to low income, vanishing public services and poor physical health. Silver also highlights the ways in which poverty is intimately connected to colonialism and racial and gender discrimination, and finds that the political and economic policies enacted by the Canadian government mainly serve a powerful minority, while producing a range of negative outcomes for the rest of us, especially the poor. Silver points out that the costs of poverty — relating to health care, crime, education and unemployment — are higher than the costs of solving poverty, pb 9781552666814 / ebook 9781552666999 / $17.95 164pp and he lays out an achievable strategy for its dramatic reduction in Canada.
