SUMMARY:Book Launch for Rooted in Deception by Laura Churchill Duke
DESCRIPTION:Join Laura Churchill Duke on Sunday\, November 20 at 2pm as she celebrates the launch of her second novel\, Rooted in Deception.  \nFollowing the award-winning novel\, Two Crows Sorrow\, Rooted in Deception is another true-crime story in rural Nova Scotia.  \nA con man is on the move in the early 1900s\, spinning stories\, turning heads\, and lifting whatever is not nailed down. He spins tale after tale into a web that entangles credulous Nova Scotians–until he takes one step too far. Secret identities\, deception\, and greed escalate to murder.  \nThis event\, held in the upper performance centre of CentreStage Theatre in Kentville\, will feature readings by the author and special guests\, musical performances by Sharon Churchill Roe and Christianne Rushton\, and refreshments.  \nRooted in Deception is published by Moose House Publications and is available in local bookstores across the Valley and online through Amazon and Indigo\, both in print and e-reader format. Books will be available for purchase and signing during the event.  \nThe launch of Rooted in Deception is free and open to everyone. It will be held on Sunday\, Nov. 20 from 2pm to 4pm in the upper performance Centre of CentreStage Theatre in Kentville.  \nIt is a live performance\, therefore not a drop-in event.  \nFor more information contact info@laurachurchillduke.ca or visit laurachurchillduke.ca.  \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/417325720601255/

SUMMARY:SOLIDARITY BEYOND BARS by Jordan House and Asaf Rashid: Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Fernwood Publishing and TYPE Books (Junction) welcome you to the launch of SOLIDARITY BEYOND BARS by Jordan House and Asaf Rashid. \nThis venue is wheelchair accessible. This event is free and open to the public. \nType Books – The Junction \n2887 Dundas St WToronto\, ON M6P 1Y9 \nABOUT THE BOOK \nhttps://fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/solidarity-beyond-bars \nPrisons don’t work\, but prisoners do. Prisons are often critiqued as unjust\, but we hear little about the daily labour of incarcerated workers — what they do\, how they do it\, who they do it for and under which conditions. Unions protect workers fighting for better pay and against discrimination and occupational health and safety concerns\, but prisoners are denied this protection despite being the lowest paid workers with the least choice in what they do — the most vulnerable among the working class. Starting from the perspective that work during imprisonment is not “rehabilitative\,” this book examines the reasons why people should care about prison labour and how prisoners have struggled to organize for labour power in the past. Unionizing incarcerated workers is critical for both the labour movement and struggles for prison justice\, this book argues\, to negotiate changes to working conditions as well as the power dynamics within prisons themselves. \nABOUT THE AUTHORS \nJordan House is an assistant professor in the Department of Labour Studies at Brock University. His research focuses on prison labour and prisoner-worker organizing\, new forms of worker organization and labour movement renewal. His work has appeared in several publications\, including Labour / Le Travail\, Labor Studies Journal\, Rankandfile.ca\, Canadian Dimension and Jacobin. He previously worked as a labour organizer and union researcher and is a long-time prison justice activist. \nAsaf Rashid went from being an aspiring scholar in environmental studies to a community agitator and campaigns coordinator of the Nova Scotia Public Interest Research Group. He is a lawyer\, based in k’jipuktuk/Halifax and a board member of the Halifax Workers Action Centre\, a member of the Canadian Prison Lawyers Association and supporter of the East Coast Prison Justice Society. Rashid has also been a union organizer and labour rights activist\, among other social justice activities. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nJessica Evans is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the Toronto Metropolitan University and a community advocate with the Toronto Prisoners’ Rights Project. Her research uses critical political economy and critical criminology to explore the relationship between capitalism and the carceral state in Canada. She is particularly interested in the role of the carceral system in shaping ideas of citizenship\, rights\, and deservingness in response to changes in modes of capitalist accumulation. Her recent work can be found in The Canadian Journal of Disability Studies\, Citizenship Studies\, Punishment & Society\, and Historical Materialism. \nShane Martínez is a Toronto-based lawyer who practices criminal defence and human rights law. He is also an adjunct professor of Prison Law\, Policy & Reform at York University’s Osgoode Hall Law School. His primary focus is on test cases that challenge established norms within the prison system\, particularly in relation to issues of inmate labour\, family separation\, and anti-Black racism. \nIn 1983\, at the age of 27\, John Chaif was sentenced to life in prison with 25 years until parole eligibility. In 1988 he escaped from Collins Bay Institution in Kingston\, Ontario. He was later rearrested in the United States and spent six years in the federal prison system there before being transferred back to Canada. John has spent a great deal of time inside advocating against systemic abuses\, including abuses relating to prison labour. His advocacy has at times attracted the attention and opposition of prison authorities. Earlier this year he won a Federal Court challenge he brought after being denied day parole (Chaif v. Canada (Attorney General)\, 2022 FC 182). John was subsequently released from prison on day parole this past May at the age of 67. He now continues his activism on the outside\, as a vocal proponent for the human rights of prisoners. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/5532187926846781/

SUMMARY:SOLIDARITY BEYOND BARS by Jordan House and Asaf Rashid: Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Fernwood Publishing and TYPE Books (Junction) welcome you to the launch of SOLIDARITY BEYOND BARS by Jordan House and Asaf Rashid. \nThis venue is wheelchair accessible. This event is free and open to the public. \nType Books – The Junction \n2887 Dundas St WToronto\, ON M6P 1Y9 \nABOUT THE BOOK \nhttps://fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/solidarity-beyond-bars \nPrisons don’t work\, but prisoners do. Prisons are often critiqued as unjust\, but we hear little about the daily labour of incarcerated workers — what they do\, how they do it\, who they do it for and under which conditions. Unions protect workers fighting for better pay and against discrimination and occupational health and safety concerns\, but prisoners are denied this protection despite being the lowest paid workers with the least choice in what they do — the most vulnerable among the working class. Starting from the perspective that work during imprisonment is not “rehabilitative\,” this book examines the reasons why people should care about prison labour and how prisoners have struggled to organize for labour power in the past. Unionizing incarcerated workers is critical for both the labour movement and struggles for prison justice\, this book argues\, to negotiate changes to working conditions as well as the power dynamics within prisons themselves. \nABOUT THE AUTHORS \nJordan House is an assistant professor in the Department of Labour Studies at Brock University. His research focuses on prison labour and prisoner-worker organizing\, new forms of worker organization and labour movement renewal. His work has appeared in several publications\, including Labour / Le Travail\, Labor Studies Journal\, Rankandfile.ca\, Canadian Dimension and Jacobin. He previously worked as a labour organizer and union researcher and is a long-time prison justice activist. \nAsaf Rashid went from being an aspiring scholar in environmental studies to a community agitator and campaigns coordinator of the Nova Scotia Public Interest Research Group. He is a lawyer\, based in k’jipuktuk/Halifax and a board member of the Halifax Workers Action Centre\, a member of the Canadian Prison Lawyers Association and supporter of the East Coast Prison Justice Society. Rashid has also been a union organizer and labour rights activist\, among other social justice activities. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nJessica Evans is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the Toronto Metropolitan University and a community advocate with the Toronto Prisoners’ Rights Project. Her research uses critical political economy and critical criminology to explore the relationship between capitalism and the carceral state in Canada. She is particularly interested in the role of the carceral system in shaping ideas of citizenship\, rights\, and deservingness in response to changes in modes of capitalist accumulation. Her recent work can be found in The Canadian Journal of Disability Studies\, Citizenship Studies\, Punishment & Society\, and Historical Materialism. \nShane Martínez is a Toronto-based lawyer who practices criminal defence and human rights law. He is also an adjunct professor of Prison Law\, Policy & Reform at York University’s Osgoode Hall Law School. His primary focus is on test cases that challenge established norms within the prison system\, particularly in relation to issues of inmate labour\, family separation\, and anti-Black racism. \nIn 1983\, at the age of 27\, John Chaif was sentenced to life in prison with 25 years until parole eligibility. In 1988 he escaped from Collins Bay Institution in Kingston\, Ontario. He was later rearrested in the United States and spent six years in the federal prison system there before being transferred back to Canada. John has spent a great deal of time inside advocating against systemic abuses\, including abuses relating to prison labour. His advocacy has at times attracted the attention and opposition of prison authorities. Earlier this year he won a Federal Court challenge he brought after being denied day parole (Chaif v. Canada (Attorney General)\, 2022 FC 182). John was subsequently released from prison on day parole this past May at the age of 67. He now continues his activism on the outside\, as a vocal proponent for the human rights of prisoners. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/5532187926846781/
