October 7th : searching for the humanitarian middle / by Lederman, Marsha(Western arts correspondent),author.;
"In this emotional missive from the diaspora, Globe and Mail columnist Marsha Lederman writes from the humanitarian middle of the Israel-Palestine conflict. The best-selling and award-winning author and journalist reflects, with deep empathy, on the horrific October 7th attacks on Israeli citizens, rising anti-Semitism, and the brutal violence against civilians in Gaza. As one of the leading Canadian voices on Jewish identity, Lederman's impassioned work in the Globe has been a lifeline for readers since October 7th, 2023. This book captures the pain of so many: Marsha's prose has a way of cutting through the noise and capturing the humanity behind the headlines. She makes room for the reader to be conflicted, grieving, angry and unsure, and is with them through that process as she, like all of us, grapples with a new reality. As someone who is firmly against Netanyahu, believes in a two-state solution, and is a daughter of Holocaust survivors terrified by the rise in anti-semitism, Marsha's writing has captured the full complexity of the experience of reconciling an abhorrence of the violence against Israelis and Palestinians with the trauma and fear of rising prejudice around the world. This collection is a crucial archive capturing, in real time, a period of deep division with care, empathy, and grief."--

Halfbreed / by Campbell, Maria,author.;
"A new, fully restored edition of the essential Canadian classic. An unflinchingly honest memoir of her experience as a Métis woman in Canada, Maria Campbell's Halfbreed depicts the realities that she endured and, above all, overcame. Maria was born in Northern Saskatchewan, her father the grandson of a Scottish businessman and Métis woman--a niece of Gabriel Dumont whose family fought alongside Riel and Dumont in the 1885 Rebellion; her mother the daughter of a Cree woman and French-American man. This extraordinary account, originally published in 1973, bravely explores the poverty, oppression, alcoholism, addiction, and tragedy Maria endured throughout her childhood and into her early adult life, underscored by living in the margins of a country pervaded by hatred, discrimination, and mistrust. Laced with spare moments of love and joy, this is a memoir of family ties and finding an identity in a heritage that is neither wholly Indigenous or Anglo; of strength and resilience; of indominatable spirit. This edition of Halfbreed includes a new introduction written by Indigenous (Métis) scholar Dr. Kim Anderson detailing the extraordinary work that Maria has been doing since its original publication 46 years ago, and an afterword by the author looking at what has changed, and also what has not, for Indigenous people in Canada today. Restored are the recently discovered missing pages from the original text of this groundbreaking and significant work."--
