Eat at home and buy the books. Jack Rabinovitch1 Founded in 1994 by Jack Rabinovitch, the Giller Prize was established to honour Rabinovitch’s late wife, the journalist Doris Giller, who had died from cancer a year earlier.2 Since its inception, the prize has served to recognize excellence in Canadian English-language fiction, including both novels and short stories. Initially the award was endowed to provide an annual cash prize of $25,000.3 In 2005, the Giller Prize partnered with Scotiabank to create the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Under the new arrangement, the annual purse doubled in size to $50,000, with $40,000 going to the winner and $2,500 going to each of four additional finalists.4 Beginning in 2008, $50,000 was given to the winner and $5,000 * Andrew Irvine holds the position of Professor and Head of Economics, Philosophy and Political Science at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan.

    The Massey Murder: A Maid, Her Master, and the Trial That Shocked a Country Charlotte Gray Discussion Questions 1. Why did Carrie Davies return to her employer’s home after visiting her sister and brother-in- law? 2. Who was the victim in this story? 3. Was it the correct verdict - why do you think the jury came to the conclusion it did - was jus- tice done? 4. What role did newspapers play? Would the story be told differently today? 5. Why was evidence about Carrie’s virginity important? 6. What do you think about the idea of a separate court for female offenders, or of the defence of “unwritten law”? 7. What impression do you have of Crown prosecutor Edward Du Ver- net and defence lawyer Hartley Dewart? 8. What difference did it make that Canada was at war? 9. How did the women’s suffrage movement affect the case? 10. What difference did the jury’s decision make in the long-term?

    Book Club in a Bag Descriptions – January 2018 Full descriptions follow with separate Fiction and Non-Fiction sections. Audio (TB), MP3 CD (MP3), eBook or eAudio (via 3M Cloud and Net Library) and Large Print (LP) versions available as indicated. Some eBooks or eAudio may have an “on order” status. Fiction 419 by Will Ferguson (e-Book) A car tumbles through darkness down a snowy ravine. A woman without a name walks out of a dust storm in sub-Saharan Africa. And in the seething heat of Lagos City, a criminal cartel scours the Internet, looking for victims. Lives intersect. Worlds collide. And it all begins with a single email: "Dear Sir, I am the daughter of a Nigerian diplomat, and I need your help…" When Laura Curtis, a lonely editor in a cold northern city, discovers that her father has died because of one such swindle, she sets out to track down—and corner—her father’s killer. It is a dangerous game she’s playing, however, and the stakes are higher than she can ever imagine. Woven into Laura’s journey is a mysterious woman from the African Sahel with scars etched into her skin and a young man who finds himself caught up in a web of violence and deceit. And running through it, a dying father’s final words: "You, I love." Above All Things by Tanis Rideout (LP, e-Book) The Paris Wife meets Into Thin Air in this breathtaking debut novel of obsession and divided loyalties, which brilliantly weaves together the harrowing story of George Mallory's ill-fated 1924 attempt to be the first man to conquer Mount Everest, with that of a single day in the life of his wife as she waits at home in England for news of his return.

  • Seeing with Two Eyes: Colonial Policy, the Huron Tract Treaty and Changes in the Land in Lambton County, 1780-1867 Karen Jean T
    SEEING WITH TWO EYES: COLONIAL POLICY, THE HURON TRACT TREATY AND CHANGES IN THE LAND IN LAMBTON COUNTY, 1780-1867 KAREN JEAN TRAVERS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, CANADA JUNE 2015 © KAREN TRAVERS, 2015 ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the histories of Walpole Island (Bkejwanong), Sarnia (Aamjiwnaang), and Kettle and Stoney Point (Wiiwkwedong and Aazhoodena) between 1790 and 1867 in what became Lambton County, Ontario. Anishinabe peoples faced tremendous challenges during this crucial period in their histories stemming from the loss of the Ohio Valley, non-native settlement, and intense pressure to surrender the land and settle permanently on reserves. With few exceptions, literature on the subject of Upper Canadian history and Indian policy largely accepts the decline of Anishinabe communities as an inevitable consequence of demilitarization after the War of 1812. The fact that Anishinabe peoples continue to live in these same communities as they have for hundreds of years, complicates such analyses. Through the lens of ‘two-eyed seeing’ I interrogate this contradiction and explore the many ways that the Anishinabeg sought to combine Indigenous knowledge and worldviews with the tools to survive in Eurocanadian economies between 1790 and 1867. While this story is not one of swift decline, I argue that Indigenous leaders sought a future for themselves that differed fundamentally from the one that unfolded in the years before Confederation. This study uses petitions, Indian Affairs and municipal documents to explore the confluence of local processes that undermined Anishinabe attempts to co-exist with Eurocanadians.

The short stories, excerpts from novels and memoirs, and several personal essays, were written at points in these women’s lives when they were looking out to and at the world around them. They were facing a traditional world confronting moder- nity: family life during a tumultuous period when parental authority was chal- lenged by political and social movements; sexual awakening during a profound revolutionary period in Europe; longings for independence, education, and cre- ative, artistic expression; the conflicted entry of Yiddish-speaking women into the modern world, beyond the restrictions of traditional Jewish life; the Holocaust and “These are vibrant women, and its aftermath, and adjustment after immigration. their writings should not be read To date, the major anthologies of Yiddish prose in translation have con- only as something from the past, centrated on popular male writers and excluded not only fiction by women but something important to our but their memoirs and other prose writing as well.
