Par Pierre-Yves McSween. 2016
En as-tu besoin? En as-tu vraiment besoin? Dans cet ouvrage capital où le chroniqueur affaires et économie de Paul Arcand…
passe dans son tordeur une quarantaine de sujets avec perspicacité et humour, cette question toute simple invite à revoir toutes les décisions qui ont un effet direct sur notre compte de banque. Au Québec, l'analphabétisme financier et la consommation à outrance influent négativement sur l'existence de chacun. Pour aider à voir les choses d'un oeil neuf, En as-tu vraiment besoin? place un miroir réaliste devant nos choix de vie et leurs conséquences. L'auteur y remet en question notre façon de dépenser et insiste sur la nécessité de se construire une marge de manoeuvre financière. Cette lecture ne laissera personne indifférent. Pierre-Yves McSween parle d'argent sans filtre et sans tabou, comme on ne l'a jamais fait auparavant dans un livre sur le sujet. Il propose de brillants mécanismes d'autodéfense contre la société de consommation et la naïveté financière. Avec deux grands objectifs en tête: définir le comportement d'un citoyen responsable financièrement; puis, donner au lecteur, enfin, un peu plus de cette liberté dont il a vraiment, tellement, carrément besoin. 2016.Le peuple rieur: hommage à mes amis innus (Collection Mémoire des Amériques)

la fois le chemin de sa joie et son chemin de croix. Présente aux premières lignes du journal de voyage de Champlain, aujourd'hui aussi familière que mystérieuse, la nation innue vit et survit depuis au moins deux mille ans dans cette partie de l'Amérique du Nord qu'elle a nommée dans sa langue Nitassinan : notre terre. Au fil des chapitres, vous allez accompagner le jeune anthropologue que j'étais au début des années 1970, arrivé à Ekuanitshit (Mingan). Vous le devinez, ces petites histoires sont prétextes à en raconter de plus grandes. Celles d'un peuple résilient, une société traditionnelle de chasseurs nomades qui s'est maintenue pendant des siècles, une société dont les fondements ont été ébranlés et brisés entre 1850 et 1950, alors que le gouvernement orchestrait la sédentarisation des adultes et l'éducation forcée des enfants. Ce récit commence dans la nuit des temps et se poursuit à travers les siècles, jusqu'aux luttes politiques et culturelles d'aujourd'hui. 2017.One dead Indian: the premier, the police, and the Ipperwash crisis

le résultat de la réflexion personnelle et critique que Thomas King a menée depuis un demi-siècle sur ce que cela signifie d'être Indien aujourd'hui en Amérique du Nord. Dans ce franc-parler qui ne peut appartenir qu'à un Indien, King démonte avec beaucoup d'esprit les idées reçues touchant les peuples autochtones. Ce livre n'est pas tant une condamnation du comportement des un ou des autres qu'une analyse suprêmement intelligente des liens complexes qu'entretiennent les Blancs et les Indiens. 2014.

Par Charlie Angus. 2015
Exposes a system of apartheid in Canada that led to the largest youth-driven human rights movement in the country's history.…
The movement was inspired by Shannen Koostachin, a young Cree woman George Stroumboulopoulos named as one of "five teenage girls in history who kicked ass." All Shannen wanted was a decent education. She found an ally in Charlie Angus, who had no idea she was going to change his life and inspire others to change the country. Based on extensive documentation assembled from Freedom of Information requests, Angus establishes a dark, unbroken line that extends from the policies of John A. Macdonald to the government of today. He provides chilling insight into how Canada - through breaches of treaties, broken promises, and callous neglect - deliberately denied First Nations children their basic human rights. 2015.Cairns, through the study of the historical record, discusses the desired relation of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples to each other…
in Canada.
