Fernwood Publishing’s Fall 2026 season balances critique with optimism. It features discussions of neoliberalism, caste, and ongoing colonialism; it equally describes the joy of being in relation with family, friendship, and communities who fight hard for a better world. This fight, as we have seen on our screens and as the books in this season document, happens alongside each other and for the humanity of every being. It’s existential, it’s absurd, and we see it at all scales when we read these books: in art, satire, classrooms, methodologies, frontline service work, and on-the-ground grassroots organizing.
We won’t lie: Fernwood workers and the writers, freelancers, designers, printers, booksellers we work with have all been affected, directly or indirectly, by the horrors imperialism continues to inflict. Like so many have observed, it is hard to keep going as if our capacities for this work are not dwindled daily by increasing surveillance, austerity, and ensuing violence and illness. It’s rough out there, and as dismal as it seems we are heartened by finding continuity in these related struggles. Maybe the robots are new, but the fascists are not. Our connections are not. They help us show up.
Fernwood works on unceded Indigenous lands; specifically, we create from Kjipuktuk in Mi’kma’ki, colonially known as Halifax, Nova Scotia, the territory of the Mi’kmaq, as well as in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene Peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation, which in 1871 became Treaty 1 territory.
As settlers working in publishing, we have a responsibility to understand and challenge the Canadian state’s history of racist and colonial writing and publishing practices, including the erasure of Indigenous knowledges, the ongoing systemic undermining of oral history and knowledge, and land theft. We dedicate ourselves to respectful collaboration with Indigenous communities in producing critical books.

Novel
by Sara Cooper
“A stunning portrait of contemporary life that hits the sweet spot between comedy and tragedy.”
—Deborah
Brevoort, author of The Women of Lockerbie and other plays
A pregnant elder millennial whose livestreamed quest for momfluencer fame spirals into depravity. An incisive satire of consumerism, performative femininity, and social media.
Breigh is a hot elder millennial who is obsessed with the brands she is ambassading for. Her policy is YES, and her livestreams are viral. But she’s pregnant now, and her body’s changing. It’s not that she’s hungry. She’s definitely not depressed. She just sometimes eats boxes of makeup before passing out.
Daddy’s bought a brand new home for Breigh and Baby, complete with a Greenguard Gold–certified, twice-imported velvet infant chaise — but is he cheating on her with a hotter, younger coworker? Breigh has to get Baby out before it ruins her. She has to create more and better content than the other momfluencers. She has to unbox something new. She has to unbox … Baby! Baby approves of her seven-step marketing plan. Welcome to #LiveBirth.
Breigh’s increasingly unhinged life reflects her generation’s anxieties around psychological manipulation through social media platforms. Multi-awardwinning author Sara Cooper presents a wild debut novel in this biting satire of consumerism, performative femininity, and social media.
Sara Cooper is a debut novelist and an award-winning playwright-lyricist. Her awards include the Richard Rodgers Award (American Academy of Arts and Letters), Jonathan Larson Grant (American Theatre Wing), and Lucille and Jack Yellin Award (ASCAP), as well as grants from Purchase College, Barrington Stage, and New York State Council on the Arts.

The Politics of Lonely Why Is Friendship So Hard?
by Lee Arden
Friendship is hard because everything is hard. This book examines social structures to demonstrate how people mend an unravelling social fabric.
Why is it hard to make and keep friends as an adult? Even if you finally find time to see each other, can you connect more deeply than just catching up over coffee? How many do you count as ride-or-die pals who’ll always show up with effervescent banter and deep conversation — your “chosen family?”
Widespread loneliness reflects a world of crappy jobs and unaffordable housing that makes it almost impossible to have close, interwoven friendships. A dwindling social safety net takes a toll on us and on our relationships. Particularly for queer people, friendships can be crucial relations of equality, constancy, and care. Still, we disappoint each other and fall into irreparable conflict.
A less lonely world is possible. Through interviews, research, and personal narrative, this book shows how people build tight connections despite living in the austere conditions of colonial capitalism — boldly weaving a new social fabric as this one unravels.
Lee Arden is the author of many zines, including PALS: The Radical Possibilities of Friendship and Surprisingly OK: What Healing Trauma Feels Like, and the founder of the small press and zine distributor Sheer Spite Press. Lee is white, trans, an anarchist, a Quaker, and a deeply imperfect friend, but they try.

by Sharon Luk
Political Education
A pocket book on big ideas in social justice for those seeking refuge in learning.
With universities tightening their grip on dissent, speech, and creativity, the opportunities for marginalized students to access radical curriculum and mentorship are shrinking. A Feel for Thinking is a salve in these bleak conditions: a study guide for readers who want ground themselves in radical ideas. In conversational style, Sharon Luk offers an orientation to long-standing ideas rooted in social justice traditions, helping readers unpack dense concepts across different kinds of struggles.
Drawing on the conceptual work of major thinkers like Cedric Robinson on racial capitalism, Robyn Maynard and Ruth Wilson Gilmore on abolition, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson on Indigenous traditions of world-making, and Robin D.G. Kelley, Fred Moten, and Stefano Harney on solidarity, Luk suffuses A Feel for Thinking with personal stories of her own wayfinding through these complex ideas. Refuting the cynical expression, “those who can’t do, teach,” Luk proves that, on the contrary, those who teach, do. Luk demonstrates her skill in critical pedagogy, encouraging and supporting readers to cultivate their intellectual practice to anchor themselves in their uniqueness and specificities in struggle with others.
Sharon Luk is associate professor and Tier II Canada Research Chair in Geographies of Racialization in the Department of Geography, Simon Fraser University, and author of The Life of Paper: Letters and a Poetics of Living Beyond Captivity.

Revolution on the Move
An Oral History of Latin American Feminisms and the Making of Toronto
by R. Magaly San Martin
An oral history of grassroots activism that reclaims Latinas’ political contribution to Toronto, highlighting feminist agency, anti-oppression struggles, and social justice activism.
This book gathers the unforgettable voices of Latin American feminist activists who joined together to confront entrenched power and along the way transformed Canada’s biggest city. Based on decades of grassroots feminist activism and engaged scholarship, R. Magaly San Martin offers a sweeping and deeply affecting account of the pivotal role racialized immigrant feminists have played in Toronto’s legendary social justice struggles.
San Martin’s oral history upends dominant historiographies, revealing Latin American feminists’ role in shaping Toronto’s unique political and social milieu. Through a tapestry of voices, Revolution on the Move reveals how anti-oppression work evolved within the Latin American community. Neither linear nor devoid of contradictions, this dialogue across generations contributes to a unique and evolving Latina feminist subjectivity. Everyone interested in social justice, feminist politics, and Toronto’s singular political culture will find in the company of these extraordinary characters the courage and inspiration to transform our own time.
R. Magaly San Martin PhD, teaches social work, gerontology, and social and community development at Sheridan College. She is a Toronto-based community worker, educator, and activist engaged in feminist, anti-racist, and solidarity movements.

Genocide in Canada A Critical Approach
by Andrew Woolford
This book exposes deeply flawed genocide denialism surrounding residential schools, examining how Canada sought to resolve the “Indian problem” through genocide.
“Is it genocide?” Too often the answer to this question requires killing fields, death camps, gas chambers, and massacres. Genocide in Canada directs us instead to the relationships through which groups of people persist as a people. Andrew Woolford’s critical approach pinpoints the many forms of violence that can and are used to destroy peoples.
Woolford explores settler colonial genocide in Canada, overcoming the limitations of the traditional genocide concept and its legal formulation and demonstrating that settler colonialism threatens the existence of Indigenous Peoples. Framed as a sociology of collective life, this book focuses on assimilative education such as occurred through residential schools. The residential school system was implemented by the settler state to deal with the “Indian problem,” intending to destroy Indigenous Peoples’ culture and relationships with family and territory, to eliminate them as peoples. Woolford traces the genocide debate in Canada, illuminating the blind spots and assumptions that disguise settler colonial patterns of group destruction. He exposes the deeply flawed genocide denialist claims about residential schools as many cling to a redemptive story of Indigenous-settler relations that absolves Canada of anything more than a “dark chapter” or “mistakes.”
Andrew Woolford is professor of sociology and criminology at the University of Manitoba and former president of the International Association of Genocide Scholars. He is author of This Benevolent Experiment: Indigenous Boarding Schools, Genocide and Redress in the United States and Canada and co-editor of Colonial Genocide in Indigenous North America.

Heart Work and Hard Choices Service Providers’
Emotional-Ethical Dilemmas
in Working with Criminalized Women
by Katharine Dunbar
A hopeful and critical study of how community-based service providers navigate emotional, ethical, and structural challenges in their work supporting criminalized women.
Heart Work, Hard Choices brilliantly tackles urgent debates around the interlocking crises of criminalization, social inequality, and care by drawing on the collective knowledge and experience of community service workers. Through vivid storytelling and grounded research, Katharine Dunbar draws on her experience in community service and formidable talents as a public sociologist to reveal how providers manage compassion, frustration, burnout, and hope in order to build and sustain relationships and remain effective in their roles. In taking an innovative sociology-of-emotions approach, Dunbar connects individual feelings to broader themes of neoliberal policy that shift responsibility for harm from the state onto marginalized women and the organizations that serve them. In centring emotions, the book exposes hidden forms of control and care, as well as the emotional and ethical dilemmas that arise when community organizations are asked to enact both support and surveillance. Heart Work is a hopeful and critical look at what genuine support for community service provision should look like. This is essential reading for anyone seeking a practical and radical way forward for a sector in turmoil.

by Carl E. James
Ethnicity and Culture
“Carl James, a teacher, philosopher, and skilled communicator, causes readers to self-examine their own understanding of who they are in terms of racial identity within their own sphere of existence.”
—Thom Ryan, Nipissing University, North Bay, Ontario
Fifth edition of a multi-perspective analysis of the meaning of ethnic diversity in Canada.
Seeing Ourselves examines the meanings of ethnicity, race, and culture, exploring how these concepts are understood by individuals and embedded within Canadian society. Offering a distinctly Canadian perspective on debates that resonate globally, the book interrogates the realities behind Canada’s self-definition as a multicultural society.
Now in its fifth edition, Seeing Ourselves has been updated to address major social and political developments since its first publication in 1989, including the rapid growth of immigration, particularly from Asia; the increasing prominence of reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples; the Black Lives Matter movement; Quebec’s secularism legislation; the Trump-era backlash in the United States and its reverberations in Canada; and the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, the book retains the core explanatory frameworks, theoretical discussions, and student essay excerpts that have long distinguished it as a foundational text in the study of race and ethnicity in Canada.
Carl E. James holds the Jean Augustine Chair in Education, Community & Diaspora at York University, where he teaches in the faculties of Education and Sociology. With an interdisciplinary lens, he explores how race intersects with other identity markers to shape individuals’ educational, occupational, and health experiences and life trajectories.

Twenty-two contributors share their experiences of unsettling colonialism through engaging in circle work, an Indigenous method of de-colonizing education.
This transformative collection features Indigenous and settler peoples who engaged in years of circle work to unpack how colonialism affects their lives and professional practices. Circle work is an Indigenous methodology of building knowledge and challenging unexamined colonial assumptions. It reveals that de-colonizing isn’t linear; it is an embodied process that unfolds on multiple levels. The practices described in this book centre Indigegogy — a relational, land-based, spirit-centred approach to learning that invites vulnerability, reflexivity, and truth telling. While each person engages from their cultural context and position in society, every contributor shares how pivotal, “holy shit” moments during the experience of circle work have reshaped their ways of being.
Guided by circle work, digital storying, and land-based teachings, this is an intimate encounter with Indigenous knowledge and lived accounts of people who chose to wake up, to feel, and to act differently in the world.

Racism, Trauma and Resistance in Post-Secondary Education
by Sheila Cote-Meek
foreword by Jacqueline Ottmann
“Dr. Sheila Cote-Meek makes Indigenous academics and students feel seen in a post-TRC era where they face institutional performativity and threats to Indigeneity.”
—Jesse Staats, Six Nations (Mohawk), PhD candidate, University of Toronto
“I teach Indigenous student perspectives in higher education at the graduate level and have assigned her book since 2019. I highly recommend her work.”
—Stephanie J. Waterman, Onondaga, Turtle Clan, professor, OISE
“A call for ethical spaces, a more just educational experience, and pathways to genuinely step into the work of decolonizing learning environments.”
—Carolyn Roberts, speaker, author, and lecturer at UBC Teacher Education
This powerful analysis of reconciliation in higher education exposes the limits of progress and calls institutions toward accountable and transformative change.
In the wake of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, Sheila Cote-Meek draws on the voices of Indigenous students and professors to examine how post-secondary institutions have responded to demands for reconciliation, Indigenization, and systemic change. Important institutional shifts include curricular and pedagogical changes, increased Indigenous faculty and staff and Indigenous spaces on campuses, expanded student supports, and heightened awareness of Indigenous histories and contemporary realities. At the same time, Indigenous students and professors continue to navigate racism, tokenism, and the burden of representation. Grounded in lived experience and rigorous scholarship, Colonized Classrooms offers a powerful analysis of the tensions and possibilities facing post-secondary education today. Cote-Meek challenges institutions to move beyond symbolic gestures and toward genuine, accountable, and transformative change.

Reimagining Assessment in Social Work
Critical Approaches to Power, Culture, and Practice
edited by Peter W. Choate, Christina Tortorelli & Jennifer Hedges; foreword by Terri Pelton
“At a time when our systems and institutions urgently need courage, compassion, and accountability, this volume stands as an important contribution to more humane and healing child welfare practices grounded in strong, wholistic assessment.”
—Marlyn Bennett, University of Calgary
“Groundbreaking and deeply reflective, this book serves as an essential guide for moving toward a practice rooted in social justice and genuine human connection.”
—Don Fuchs, Faculty of Social Work, University of Manitoba
Social work assessment is political. How we understand its power is at the heart of ethical social work practice.
Done well, assessment advances the social worker's understanding of clients’ contexts and creates pathways for supporting their lives. Done poorly, colonialism and power take over the story, sustaining marginalization, disempowerment, and damaging outcomes. This book considers the many ways assessment carries power, from the way information is reported, collected, and acted upon through to the clients’ interactions with adjacent systems and institutions. Authors tackle the troubled history of racist and Eurocentric assessment and engage critically with issues of colonialism, assumptions about the meaning of family, anti-Black racism, disability and neurodivergence, migration and citizenship, restorative justice and aging out of care.

Truly Tribal Contemporary Indigenous Tattooing
edited by Dion Kaszas
“Situating tattooing as part of ongoing efforts to reclaim traditional knowledge in the ongoing wake of colonialism, these inspiring stories significantly contribute to our understanding of how contemporary Indigeneity is being expressed.”
— Dr. Sharon Fortney, Klahoose First Nation, Sr. Curator of Indigenous Collections, Engagement, and Repatriation (Museum of Vancouver)
Eighteen Indigenous ancestral skin markers from Nations and cultures around the world discuss their reclamation of traditional tattooing practices.
After generations of colonial suppression, Indigenous tattooing practices have experienced a resurgence led by artists and informed by community stories, protocols, and Elders. In Truly Tribal, eighteen Indigenous ancestral skin markers from Nations and cultures around the world come together to discuss their reclamation of tattoos as tangible reminders of their communities’ enduring rights, relationships, and responsibilities.
Alongside over 250 stunning photos of their work, practitioners within this anthology discuss restoring a tradition that has survived colonial erasure, including the revival of ancestral tattoo designs, symbols, and motifs; the re-envisioning of meaning and protocols; and the refashioning of ancestral application methods, such as the use of bone tools and pigments alongside contemporary tools and inks. Their expert academic analysis and heartfelt storytelling respond with authenticity to a global awakening of cultural mark-making practices, offering teachings that can be shared while acknowledging that some ancestral inheritances are not for public consumption. This beautiful anthology embodies the phrase, “about us, from us, for us.”

Revolutionary Science The Struggle for Agroecology in the Americas
by Bruce H. Jennings
In the 1940s, a US-backed campaign spread industrial agriculture across the Americas, dismantling traditional farming systems that had sustained campesino communities for generations. The result was ecological damage, cultural loss, and deepened inequality.
Amid this devastation, a group of Latin American scientists chose another path. Working alongside farmers, Indigenous communities, and social movements, they helped shape a new vision — agroecology: a science grounded in ecology, cultural respect, and political commitment to those most marginalized.
Revolutionary Science tells their story and asks a vital question: Can agroecology thrive as both a science and a movement strong enough to advance livelihoods for millions of campesinos and many others across the Americas?

Bruce H. Jennings is a political scientist and former senior environmental advisor with the California Legislature, whose current work explores the intersection of science, politics, and agroecology in the Americas.
the "Critical Development Studies" series encompasses a broad array of issues ranging from the sustainability of the environment, the political economy and sociology of social inequality, alternative models of local and community-based development, the land and resource-grabbing dynamics of extractive capital, the subnational and global dynamics of political and economic power, and the forces of social change and resistance, as well as the contours of contemporary struggles against the destructive operations and ravages of capitalism and imperialism in the twenty-first century.
“Diagnoses and intervenes in the state of institutional life in the university, while also insisting on letters that teach us about labour, care, and collectivity. It is incisive and nourishing. Read it.”
—Gulzar R. Charania, associate professor, Feminist and Gender Studies, University of Ottawa
“A love letter to its readers — a reminder that amid the many instances of institutional cruelty that we might have witnessed and lived through, other worlds remain possible.”
—ethel tungohan, author of Care Activism
The Letters asks what do letters related to equity, diversity, and inclusion do for the university as an institution and for those who are supposed to benefit from EDI initiatives? What do these letters tell us about institutionalized relationships, control, and creative resistance? Intimate and moving, this erudite collaboration traces power as it weaves through institutional correspondence. In grappling with official claims of inclusion, the authors examine how EDI-related letters are used by the university to claim a mythical identity — of being equitable, inclusive, diverse, and decolonizing. The Letters amplifies structurally marginalized voices to diagnose why and how EDI adversely impacts certain people and poignantly identifies creative ways to intervene against the neoliberal university.

Not Your Cash Cow, Not Your Scapegoat Student Migration and Canadian Universities
by The Racialization of Asian International Students Collective
“Rigorous and clearly written. A major contribution to empirical and primary research on migrant students’ experiences.”
—Jamie Liew, author of Ghost Citizens and Dandelion
“An important read for every faculty member and administrator, it has the potential to change the study of international students in Canada.”
—Dale McCartney, English editor of Comparative and International Education
International students have long been seen as cash cows by Canadian universities, a revenue stream of high tuition fees for the same education received by lower-paying domestic students. While in the past their inclusion has been lauded as “recruiting global talent,” recently these students have been blamed for social issues from housing shortages to spreading disease — reductive framings that instrumentalize student migrants for political purposes. Meanwhile, student migrants are often surprised to face isolation, poverty and racism, and disappointed by lacklustre university services meant to help them navigate life in Canada. Collectively written by postsecondary educators, researchers and students, this book features evidence-based, critical, and antiracist recommendations toward holistically supporting student migrants from Asia to Canada.

The Bylaw State Encampment Evictions and the Struggle for Public Space
by Alexandra Flynn & Joe Hermer; foreword by Terry Teegee
“The injustice of the unhoused requires attention to the alchemy of the bylaw.”
—Nicholas Blomley, associate professor, Department of Geography, Simon Fraser University
“The Bylaw State describes in legal detail the magical thinking municipal councils engage in as they pass bylaws to address the social problems of homelessness.”
JOHN SEWELL, former mayor, City of Toronto
The Bylaw State shows that bylaws are powerful municipal instruments. Far from being innocuous laws enforced by municipal workers, bylaws have quietly emerged over the last two decades as the method of governing homelessness in Canada. Case studies in Prince George and Vancouver demonstrate the extraordinary expansion of municipal bylaws and the place of courts in defending the legal rights of homeless people to take up public space. Legal scholar Alexandra Flynn and sociologist Joe Hermer explain how municipalities create an exclusionary ideal of public space through evictions and banishment, and they make a powerful case for a more inclusive approach that protects people not just spaces.

Thin Blue Rage
The Police Countermovement
by
Andrew Crosby & Jeffrey Monaghan
“An important, well-researched, and powerfully articulated text. In a time of rising fascism, we need this book!”
—Robyn Maynard, author of Policing Black Lives
“A compelling analysis of Canadian policing as a reactionary countermovement. Thin Blue Rage encourages us to think more deeply about police complicity in ongoing injustices and the challenges involved in overcoming them.”
—Elizabeth Comack, Distinguished Professor Emerita, University of Manitoba
Policing agencies in Canada continue to face criticism over their use of violence in response to encampments of unhoused people, protests against police brutality, and sites of environmental activism and Indigenous land defence. With meticulous historical, theoretical, and empirical detail, this book recasts police as a social movement-in-power rather than a neutral public institution. It explores key debates in policing literature alongside contemporary examples of policing’s ideological dimensions, including communications practices, membership structures, and political campaigning. Linking police identity with far-right perceptions of victimhood and alienation, Thin Blue Rage analyzes police’s defensive anger towards a public they see as not supporting how they function.

The Long Sixties
Stories from the New Left
edited by Jim Harding
The sixties were not just “sex, drugs, and rock and roll.” Social movements aimed at overcoming patriarchy, colonialism, and corporate capitalism were equally part of the sixties revolution. These movements are still very much alive. In The Long Sixties, seven veteran political activists from the sixties, all still engaged in campaigns and organizations across Canada, tell their stories of transformational activism. What could veteran activists from the sixties teach about activism? In addition to telling their stories — how they got involved, why they stay involved, how they persevered into their twilight years — they also critically reflect on their victories and defeats, their personal and political challenges, what they learned, and how their perspectives deepened and changed along the way.
This book provides hope, chronicling the significant gains — in advancing peace, international human rights, Indigenous rights, women’s and 2SLGBTQ+ rights, workers’ rights, and environmental protection. Weathered voices open an intergenerational conversation about social solidarity and transformation to address the grave crises we face globally and nationally, including climate catastrophe, escalating warfare, extreme wealth inequality, ethno-nationalism, and a heightened continental threat to Canada’s sovereignty.

Social Perspectives on Death and Dying, 4th Edition
by Jeanette A. Auger & Kerstin Roger
“This book offers a much needed applied and accessible approach to a sensitive and socially important topic. I highly support the book!”
—Linda Caissie, Gerontology Department, St. Thomas University
“Essential reading for Canadian students interested in working in the mental health or medical fields, and anyone who wishes to learn about the topics of death and dying.”
—Stephen Claxton-Oldfield, Psychology Department, Mount Allison University
How do we understand death, and what does it mean for the way we live? What can confronting death teach us about life, meaning, and our shared humanity? The perspectives we hold about death and dying are not fixed — they are socially shaped by history, culture, and personal experience. This 4th edition of Social Perspectives on Death and Dying invites readers to confront these questions directly and brings together the latest research, regulations, and debates on issues such as cremation, suicide, medical assistance in dying (MAID), Indigenous perspectives, and the role of media in shaping our understanding of death. More than an academic text, this book is a guide for reflection. It challenges readers to face their own thoughts, fears, and feelings about mortality, while examining how Canadian society navigates both traditional practices and emerging choices.

The Socialist Register 2026 Late-Stage Capitalism? Accumulation in the Ruins
edited by Greg Albo & Stephen Maher
The current matrix of capital accumulation is shifting — but what comes next? New terms abound: plutocratic plunder, political capitalism, techno-feudalism, techno-futurism. Some envision a new “habitation economy” where non-standardized services replace commodity production. Others warn of an unstable interregnum, with authoritarian states fusing with far-right movements. The common image is of a capitalist class barricaded in securitized enclaves, shielded from climate chaos and the anger of dislocated, hyperstressed workers.
This volume untangles these competing themes, identifying key trends, contradictions, and conflicts at the heart of “late-stage capitalism.” What does Donald Trump’s return to the presidency signal about this new phase? How are these shifts reshaping state power, institutional practices, and global markets? Amid trade wars and geopolitical rivalries, how is the US empire being reinforced — or resisted? Most importantly, where is the left finding new political spaces amidst the economic ruins?

The Transformative Power of Adult Education
by Jim Silver
“This is essential reading for advocates calling for the integration of adult basic education into community development and anti-poverty and reconciliation initiatives.”
—Shauna Butterwick, professor of Adult Learning, University of British Columbia
“A compelling examination of adult basic education in Manitoba, underscoring its essential role in advancing equity, reconciliation, and community well-being.”
Adult basic education transforms lives of pain and despair into lives of hope and pride. For people who are broken, defeated, and down on themselves, finishing a high school education can get them off social assistance and into work that pays a living wage. The benefits far outweigh the costs of adult basic education. It strengthens families and improves the lives of the children of adult learners, particularly those who are poor and marginalized, in ways that go beyond economics to the very core of human dignity. Despite these impressive and important benefits, adult basic education is largely unknown and seriously underfunded. It could and should be a central part of a radical re-imagining of education, in which adult basic education is on par with K-12 and post-secondary education.

No More Fridays A Novel
by Lesley Choyce
“Choyce has a feeling for the young and dispossessed, for the terrible angst of adolescence and the rituals of rebellion.”
—The Globe and Mail
“Go with these teens into dark tunnels and trek through the woods to their secret cabin. Consider imaginative, philosophical possibilities. Hang onto hope through a full force hurricane of tension. These characters and ideas will stay with you long after you’ve read the book.”
— Sylvia Gunnery, author of Road Signs That Say West
During Elliott’s last year of high school, his mother dies of ALS, a neurodegenerative disease that progressively robs motor skills. Now his whole family is adrift and floundering. Elliott’s only friend, the uber-intellectual and socially maladaptive Riley, tries to help but needs to set boundaries so she can deal with her own family stuff. Then, some technically impossible but inescapably real events start to change everything. Strange things happen in your darkest moments. No More Fridays is about a young person’s struggle to cope with alienation and grief through philosophy, science, nature, and relationship. It reminds readers: a mind open enough can accept that the death of a loved one is never the end of the story.

Policing Black Lives, Revised and Expanded Edition
State Violence in Canada from Slavery to the Present
by Robyn Maynard
“Robyn Maynard’s meticulously researched analysis of state violence challenges prevailing narratives of Canadian multiculturalism and inclusion.”
—Angela Y. Davis, author of Abolition Democracy “Impassioned, capactious, and insistently grounded in the legacies of Black activism, this book is an essential read for our time.”
—David Chariandy, author of Brother
The bestselling first edition of Policing Black Lives became a mainstay of bookshelves and classrooms across North America and Europe as the first comprehensive account of the state-sanctioned surveillance, criminalization, and punishment of Black lives in Canada. This revised and expanded edition updates the original text in the wake of global Black uprisings in 2020 and offers new insights on how to build liveable futures without policing. New chapters document how half a century of police reforms have undermined Black freedom struggles while expanding policing and offer a compelling vision for building new forms of safety.

I'll Get Right On It Poems on Working Life in the Climate Crisis
edited by The Land and Labour Poetry Collective foreword by Anjali Appadurai
“The voices of those whose jobs each day rebuild the world as it changes are well worth a listen.”
—Tom Wayman, author of If You’re Not Free at Work, Where Are You Free
“This book advances climate justice with voices not typically brought to the table. The urgency articulated in these itinerant voices is impossible to unhear, and, I hope, impossible to ignore.”
—Madhur Anand, Governor General’s Literary Award-winning writer and director of the Global Ecological Change and Sustainability Laboratory, University of Guelph
I’ll Get Right On It is a poetry anthology about making a living and carrying on despite smoky air, fires, climate grief, species loss, and increased precarity. Contributors include Indigenous, migrant, racialized, low-income, queer, disabled, and unpaid labourers who do all kinds of work, including climate-related work, extractive work, migrant work, gig work, care and service work, and traditional work. This anthology builds on the rich traditions of working-class literature, work poetry, and social poetics. These poems are both a way to pay attention to the politics of everyday life and a workshop for building solidarity. They surface the commonplace, powerful feelings of cynicism, helplessness, empathy, responsibility, resilience, and hope that are needed in the struggle for a liveable future.

The Gates
of the Sea Migration and Rescue at the Edges of Europe
by Luna Vives
“A truly remarkable book. With expertise, experience, and skill, Luna Vives weaves together her impressive findings and offers a serious advance in state-of-the-art research.”
—Maurice Stierl, Osnabrück University
“This book will flourish in the world. Vives’ writing style bridges deep research and theoretical underpinnings with real world examples.”
—Petra Molnar, associate director, Refugee Law Lab, York University, and author of The Walls Have Eyes
The Gates of the Sea examines the paradoxes of maritime search and rescue at Europe’s frontier. Focusing on Spain, Vives explores how governments have redefined maritime rescue systems towards border control. Caught between their duty to protect life at sea and state efforts to transform them into border enforcers, rescuers have pushed back, primarily through their anarcho-syndicalist union. Committed to border abolition, the rescuers’ struggle positions them within a global movement of resistance to the politics of organized abandonment along Europe’s external borders. Vives’ deeply researched and accessible book grapples with both state methods of control and containment and, crucially, ways in which solidarity activism can thrive in unexpected places.
