que d'autres, autant que lui, ont éprouvées. Cet itinéraire intellectuel et spirituel, tel qu'il nous est ici confessé, éclaire la crise générale d'une Église confrontée à la modernité. 1991.Jean-Paul II
Par Bernard Lecomte. 2003
Recoupant un grand nombre d'informations, Bernard Lecomte présente le cheminement de Karol Wotjyla à travers le siècle. Jeune homme épris…
de théâtre et de philosophie, deux domaines dans lesquels il aurait pu faire carrière, le futur pape est un homme déterminé qui, dans la Pologne de la guerre et de l'après-guerre, s'est opposé à la fois au nazisme et au communisme. Lecomte retrace également avec beaucoup de précisions et de détails les luttes à la fois théologiques et politiques entre le jeune archevêque de Cracovie et sa hiérarchie jusqu'à l'élection, qui fut à l'époque une surprise et presque un scandale, à Rome, le 16 octobre 1978. Cette biographie, très complète et accessible, est aussi un document sur le XXe siècle. 2003.Je ne pense plus voyager: la mort de Charles de Foucauld
Par François Sureau. 2016
Prenant comme point de départ des éléments nouveaux découverts sur Madani, complice de l'assassinat de Charles de Foucauld (1858-1916), et…
sur un certain commandant Florimond, qui l'interrogea trente ans après les faits, François Sureau tente de relire l'itinéraire de Charles de Foucauld à la lumière du dénuement extrême dans lequel il a choisi de finir ses jours au milieu du désert. Tout entier abandonné à Dieu, n'ayant converti personne, lâché par l'institution religieuse à la fin de sa vie - c'est la radicalité de Foucauld qui intéresse François Sureau. Radicalité de cet homme qui a grandi dans une famille où dépression et foüe de ses parents marquèrent profondément son enfance. Radicalité de sa vie de noceur et d'officier, qui s'oppose à l'extrême pauvreté de ses derniers jours. Radicalité de ce religieux qui s'intéresse aux tribus d'Afrique du Nord, en recueille les poèmes et la langue, quand les colons ne les considèrent que comme des ennemis. Radicalité encore de celui qui voyagea en Afrique du Nord dans un déguisement de rabbin. Radicalité enfin de sa lecture des évangiles, dont il retient la figure de Jésus, parfait anonyme à Nazareth, qui travaille de ses mains et ne prêche pas encore. 2016.La planète des saints
Par François Reynaert. 2007
Following the river: traces of Red River women
Par Lorri Neilsen Glenn. 2017
Glenn first discovered her great-grandmother's tragic death in a passing comment from an aunt. Startled, she began to search out…
the history of her family, to understand the life of this woman she knew nothing about. Along the way Glenn works to unravel the issues of racism, sexism and colonial nation building that haunt us still. In elegant prose and poetry she has created a story of pieces, bringing to life what she could find in newspaper reports and museums. Through these fragments and portraits she gives the reader a glimpse of the lives lived by her ancestors and by women like them. 'Following the River' is a lyric reflection on women that have been erased from our history and what that means for today. 2017.In this together: fifteen stories of truth & reconciliation

Par John Reilly. 2010
Judge John Reilly's jurisdiction included a First Nations community plagued by suicide, addiction, poverty, violence and corruption. Early in his…

In an unprecedented move, Judge Reilly ordered an investigation into the tragic and corrupt conditions on the reserve.

Par Pamela D Palmater. 2011

Par Adele Perry. 2016
An historical account of the development of Winnipeg's municipal water supply as an example of the history of settler colonialism.…
Tells of the construction of the Winnipeg/Shoal Lake Aqueduct, completed in 1919.

It incorporates archival images that document the expensive and ambitious construction process and addresses these issues within the larger context of colonialism in Canada. 2016.Jesus
