Book excerpt: A Canadian bestseller and winner of the 2016 Canadian Historical Association Aboriginal History Book Prize, Unsettling Canada is a landmark text built on a unique collaboration between two First Nations leaders. Arthur Manuel (1951–2017) was one of the most forceful advocates for Indigenous title and rights in Canada; Grand Chief Ron Derrickson, one of the most successful Indigenous businessmen in the country. Together, they bring a fresh perspective and bold new ideas to Canada’s most glaring piece of unfinished business: the place of Indigenous peoples within the country’s political and economic space. This vital second edition features a foreword by award-winning activist Naomi Klein and an all-new chapter co-authored by Law professor Nicole Schabus and Manuel’s daughter, Kanahus, honouring the multi-generational legacy of the Manuel family’s work.
Download or read book The Reconciliation Manifesto written by Arthur Manuel and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 2017-10-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, leading Indigenous rights activist Arthur Manuel offers a radical challenge to Canada and Canadians. He questions virtually everything non-Indigenous Canadians believe about their relationship with Indigenous peoples. The Reconciliation Manifesto documents how governments are attempting to reconcile with Indigenous peoples without touching the basic colonial structures that dominate and distort the relationship. Manuel reviews the current state of land claims, tackles the persistence of racism among non-Indigenous people and institutions, decries the role of government-funded organizations like the Assembly of First Nations, and highlights the federal government's disregard for the substance of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples while claiming to implement it. Together, these circumstances amount to a false reconciliation between Indigenous people and Canada. Manuel sets out the steps that are needed to place this relationship on a healthy and honourable setting. As he explains, recovering the land and rebuilding the economy are key. Completed just months before Manuel's death in January 2017, this book offers an illuminating vision of what is needed for true reconciliation. Expressed with quiet but firm resolve, humour, and piercing intellect, The Reconciliation Manifesto is for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people who are willing to look at the real problems and find real solutions.

Download or read book Wake Up Happy written by Michael Strahan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Strahan spent his childhood on a military base in Europe, where community meant everything, and life, though idyllic, was different. For one, when people referenced football they meant soccer. So when Michael's father suggested he work toward a college scholarship by playing football in Texas, where tens of thousands of people show up for a weekend game, the odds were long. Yet he did, indeed, land a scholarship and from there a draft into the NFL where he scaled the league's heights, broke records, and helped his team win the Super Bowl, as a result of which he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. How? By developing "Strahan's Rules" -- a mix of mental discipline, positive thinking, and a sense of play. He also used the Rules to forge a successful post pro-ball career as cohost with Kelly Ripa on Live! -- a position for which he was considered the longshot -- and much more. In Wake Up Happy, Michael shares personal stories about how he gets and stays motivated and how readers can do the same in their quest to attain their life goals.
Download or read book It s Wake Up Time written by Angela Skelley and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bristol in the 60s and 70s was a different world. There were no phones, certainly no mobiles, and television was something you watched at a well-off neighbour’s. This is the world that Angela Skelley remembers growing up in and recounts in her nostalgia-steeped memoir It’s Wake-Up Time. Following Angela’s childhood until she emigrated to Canada, in present-tense, clearly laid out chapters of her life, the memoir will appeal both to readers who remember the post-war years and those who enjoy seeing a fragment of history from someone else’s eyes. Life could be hard, Angela and her three other siblings squashed in a tiny prefab which froze on the inside every winter. But she recalls that, in many ways, childhood for her still shares similarities with now: music, (front row seats at the Colston Hall to see the Beatles, for less than a pound), dancing (more bopping than rave, but still...), weekly visits to the cinema (lovely long sessions on a Saturday morning), boys (the good, the bad and the ugly), and family (to inspire, love, get frustrated with, lean on and push away from, take for granted and, eventually, to miss). From the first forays of the grown-up world of paid work to leaving for a new home, Angela shares her experiences in an honest, chatty account that will alternatively have you glued to the page or chuckling with delight.

Savvie Bolton has applauded herself on accepting and then ignoring any downfalls of married life. After all, she waited years to reach this milestone. Nothing will be allowed to mar it, especially not a past she has worked so hard to bury. But life has other ideas. An accident sends her husband, Adam, into a coma and plunges Savvie into a world of fear she doesn’t know how she’ll survive. When an innocent comment from a new neighbor opens the door she’s tried so hard to keep shut, her heart spirals out of control. With a past that won’t stay in the past, a future that’s scarier every day her husband doesn’t wake up, and a heart that seems determined to betray her, Savvie must navigate a journey whose ending she couldn’t possibly have anticipated.
