| Title: Atacama |
| Sub-title: A Novel |
| By (author): Carmen Rodríguez |
| ISBN10-13: 1773634771 : 9781773634777 |
| Firmly rooted in historical events, Atacama tells the story of Manuel Garay, the son of a communist miner/union leader and an anarchist organizer of working-class women, and Lucía Céspedes, the daughter of a fascist army officer and a socialite. A fateful turn of events leads to twelve-year-old Lucía befriending twelve-year-old Manuel, inextricably connecting them to a common denominator: Lucía s adoring father and the perpetrator of the heinous crimes that have caused both children immeasurable suffering. Manuel and Lucía forge a friendship that grows as they come of age and realize that their lives are not only linked by Ernesto Céspedes actions, but also by a deep understanding of the other s emotional predicaments, their commitment to social justice and their belief in the power of writing and art. Set in the first half of the twentieth century, but resonating loudly with today s changing times, beautifully crafted Atacama covers themes related to class, gender, trauma, survival and the role of art in society. |

| Title: Big Island, Small |
| By (author): Maureen St. Clair |
| ISBN10-13: 1773630032 : 9781773630038 |
| Sola is confused the first time she sees Judith, a fair skinned woman with dreadlocks dancing to reggae music. Meeting her gaze, Judith thinks Sola is judging her for appropriating Black culture. A few days later, up against an interlocking fence, Judith kisses Sola. Onlookers hurl stones and racial and gay slurs. Thus begins the complicated friendship between Judith and Sola who live in between the land they were born, the Caribbean, and the land where they presently live, North America. Winner of the 2016 Beacon Award for Social Justice Literature and the 2015 Atlantic Writer s Competition, Big Island, Small is a story of intimacy and friendship between two Caribbean/Canadian women with similar, yet vastly different, backgrounds who must dismantle their assumptions and biases around race, class, gender and sexuality in order to make amends with violent pasts, release shame, find joy and reconnect with themselves and each other. |

| Title: Born Sacred |
| Sub-title: Poems for Palestine |
| By (author): Smokii Sumac Foreword by: Zaynab Mohammed |
| ISBN10-13: 1773637258 : 9781773637259 |
| In October 2023, upon witnessing the escalation of Palestinian genocide, Ktunaxa poet Smokii Sumac began writing poems reflecting on the stories of Palestinians in Gaza who were risking their lives to share news of the genocide of Palestinian culture, literature, and life. These 100 poems offer a witnessing of the escalation of colonial violence, both current and historical, across oceans, lands, cultures, and people, and the reckoning one has in the face of a genocide. Vulnerable, eloquent, compassionate, and enduring, Born Sacred is an in-time reflection honouring the shared histories of Indigenous Peoples of North America and of the people in Palestine. Sumac offers this collection as a small piece of life dedicated to Palestinians and resounds the collective call for solidarity in our shared liberation. |

| Title: Burnley Rocky Jones Revolutionary |
| Sub-title: An Autobiography by Burnley “Rocky” Jones |
| By (author): James St.G. Walker, Burnley Rocky Jones Afterword by: George Elliott Clarke |
| ISBN10-13: 1552668282 : 9781552668283 |
| The life, work and activism of Rocky Jones are central to African-Canadian history and the civil rights movement in Canada. Canadians lost a great soul, with the recent death of Rocky Jones, but his autobiography co-written by James Walker, a close friend of Rocky Jones and one of our foremost writers about Black history in Canada is a wonderful gift to the entire country. Revolutionary will soon be required reading for any person who seeks to understand the civil rights movement in Canada. Lawrence Hill A must read, a manual for all freedom fighters, and a testament to Rocky Jones and Black power and resilience. Afua Cooper Any telling of human rights and social equity in Canada would be incomplete without reference to revolutionary Rocky Jones truth-telling about his life captured in this compelling exemplary autobiography. This insightful account is not only about life as an African Nova Scotian, but also about the community, law, politics. Carl James Born and raised in Truro, Nova Scotia, Burnley Rocky Jones is one of Canada s most important figures of social justice. Often referred to as Canada s Stokely Carmichael, Jones was tirelessly dedicated to student movements, peace activism, Black Power, anti-racism, women s liberation and human rights reform. He was a leader in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, brought the Black Panthers to Canada, taught at Dalhousie and founded his own law firm. This autobiography tells the story of Jones s inimitable life and his accomplishments. But it also does more. It illuminates the Black experience in Nova Scotia, it explains the evolving nature of race relations and human rights in recent Canadian history, and it reveals the origins of the remedial approach to racial equality that is now practised by activists and governments. Finally, the story of Rocky Jones is a reminder that human rights are not a gift, but a prize that must be fought for. |
