Download or read book Ten Thousand Roses written by Judy Rebick and published by Penguin Canada. This book was released on 2005-02-22 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten Thousand Roses is a rich tapestry of stories told by over a hundred feminists from across Canada who organized, discussed, protested and struggled for change. Legalized abortion, resistance to male violence, pay equity and employment equity, legal equality through the Charter, pornography, anti-racism, action against poverty, rights for Aboriginal women and child care: these are the issues that rallied Canadian women to activism from the 1960s through the 1990s, the second wave of feminism. Judy Rebick, feminist activist, weaves together an insightful and stirring oral history full of four decades of struggle, defeat and triumph. The book also offers honest and insightful discussions of the differences that simultaneously divided and strengthened the women's movement in its efforts to remake a male-dominated culture. These stories define the Canadian women's movement as one of the most successful on the planet and open a treasure chest of knowledge for anyone wanting to make a better world.

Download or read book Power to the Poor written by Gordon K. Mantler and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2013-02-25 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Poor People's Campaign of 1968 has long been overshadowed by the assassination of its architect, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and the political turmoil of that year. In a major reinterpretation of civil rights and Chicano movement history, Gordon K. Mantler demonstrates how King's unfinished crusade became the era's most high-profile attempt at multiracial collaboration and sheds light on the interdependent relationship between racial identity and political coalition among African Americans and Mexican Americans. Mantler argues that while the fight against poverty held great potential for black-brown cooperation, such efforts also exposed the complex dynamics between the nation's two largest minority groups. Drawing on oral histories, archives, periodicals, and FBI surveillance files, Mantler paints a rich portrait of the campaign and the larger antipoverty work from which it emerged, including the labor activism of Cesar Chavez, opposition of Black and Chicano Power to state violence in Chicago and Denver, and advocacy for Mexican American land-grant rights in New Mexico. Ultimately, Mantler challenges readers to rethink the multiracial history of the long civil rights movement and the difficulty of sustaining political coalitions.

Download or read book The Bedroom and the State written by Angus McLaren and published by Oxford University Press Canada. This book was released on 1997 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decline of the birth rate is arguably the most important social change to develop in Canada in this century. But even those actively involved in contemporary struggles over abortion and reproductive technologies are largely ignorant of the historical context of the debate. The Bedroom and the State is the first comprehensive and balanced account of how Canadian men and women have sought to limit births and how public figures have attempted to turn such private concerns to political purposes. Hailed when it first appeared as a landmark history of Canadian fertility control, this second edition offers an updated conclusion and a new final chapter dealing with developments and events from 1969 to the present.
