Incorrigible [videorecording] : a film about Velma Demerson / by Lee, Karin,1960-film director.; McIntyre Media,film distributor.;
Gemini award winning filmmaker Karin Lee tells the heartbreaking and poignant story of Velma Demerson who was arrested under the Ontario Female Refuges Act (1897-1964) and incarcerated for falling in love with a Chinese man in 1938 at the age of 18 in Toronto, Canada. Pregnant and without legal counsel, Velma was sentenced to one year in prison where she was tortured by the prison's eugenicist doctor who attempted to abort her child. 60 years later Velma attempted to sue the Ontario provincial government for wrongful incarceration. She and paralegal activist Harry Kopyto worked to solve the puzzle of how to sue the government for a case which was past the limitation period. Velma was finally vindicated and won her case in 2003 at the age of 83. This is the story of an ordinary young woman who did nothing wrong, except to fall in love with a man of a different race. It is a story of how institutional racism ruined the lives of two young people in love and destroyed the possibility of their having a happy and healthy family. Most important, it is the inspirational story of a woman who fought back for decades to get justice and won. Velma never stopped trying to get justice for all the women arrested under the Female Refuges Act, and actively lobbied the government, until her death in 2019, to apologize to all women who were wrongly incarcerated. The message in this film to these women and their families is that "they did nothing wrong and it's not their fault."E.DVD.

The American roommate experiment : a novel / by Armas, Elena,author.;
"From the author of the Goodreads Choice Award winner The Spanish Love Deception, the eagerly anticipated follow-up featuring Rosie Graham and Lucas Martín, who are forced to share a New York apartment. Rosie Graham has a problem. A few, actually. She just quit her well paid job to focus on her secret career as a romance writer. She hasn't told her family and now has terrible writer's block. Then, the ceiling of her New York apartment literally crumbles on her. Luckily she has her best friend Lina's spare key while she's out of town. But Rosie doesn't know that Lina has already lent her apartment to her cousin Lucas, who Rosie has been stalking--for lack of a better word--on Instagram for the last few months. Lucas seems intent on coming to her rescue like a Spanish knight in shining armor. Only this one strolls around the place in a towel, has a distracting grin, and an irresistible accent. Oh, and he cooks. Lucas offers to let Rosie stay with him, at least until she can find some affordable temporary housing. And then he proposes an outrageous experiment to bring back her literary muse and meet her deadline: He'll take her on a series of experimental dates meant to jump-start her romantic inspiration. Rosie has nothing to lose. Her silly, online crush is totally under control--but Lucas's time in New York has an expiration date, and six weeks may not be enough, for either her or her deadline"--

The new internationals : a novel / by Wright Faladé, David,1964-author.;
"A stunning novel of post-war Paris that interweaves a coming-of-age story, a cross-cultural romance, and a portrait of the international youth at a definitive moment in contemporary history. Paris, 1947. The city, recovering from the Nazi occupation, suffers from an economy in shambles and an unraveled social fabric. Alongside the wary and war-weary population, American GIs and young people from France's colonies also pack the city. Cecile Rosenbaum, from a bourgeois Jewish family that has lost everything, meets Minette Traoré, a feisty, French-born girl of Senegalese descent, on the bus to a Communist Youth Conference. There, she also meets Sebastien Danxomè, an aspiring architecture student from West Africa, and romance blooms. Back in Paris, as these young internationals haunt the cafés and jazz clubs of the Latin Quarter, Cecile and Sebastien find their budding love muddied by confused loyalties and unyielding cultural traditions. When Mack Gray, a charming African American GI, sets his sights on Cecile, her complicated relationship with Sebastien, as well as her fierce dedication to her newfound political ideologies, are pushed to the brink. Nuanced, powerful, and sharply realized, The New Internationals chronicles the postwar awakening and the young women and men who rose up-and came together-in the beginnings of a vibrant political moment, trying to imagine a better world"--
