de sa mémoire tragique et de sa culture de la séparation. Qui met l'emphase sur les adaptations et actualisations d'une société plutôt que sur ses détournements et empêchements. Qui voit les oscillations québécoises non pas à l'origine d'une succession d'inhibitions nationales, mais comme un mode d'évolution par lequel une collectivité n'a cessé de passer à l'avenir. On lira cet ouvrage comme une tentative de cadrer le parcours historique du Québec en dehors des mythistoires et du schéma narratif qui accueillent et charpentent habituellement son déroulement. On le considérera aussi comme un essai visant à poser les bases d'une nouvelle référence historiale, si ce n'est mémorielle, pour les Québécois d'aujourd'hui, vecteurs de leur revitalisation identitaire en cours

Shortlisted for The Brass Knuckles Award for Best Nonfiction Crime Book “You have taken our civil rights—we want our human…

rights.” On April 14, 1971, a handful of prisoners attacked the guards at Kingston Penitentiary and seized control, making headlines around the world. For four intense days, the prisoners held the guards hostage while their leaders negotiated with a citizens’ committee of journalists and lawyers, drawing attention to the dehumanizing realities of their incarceration, including overcrowding, harsh punishment and extreme isolation. But when another group of convicts turned their pent-up rage towards some of the weakest prisoners, tensions inside the old stone walls erupted, with tragic consequences. As heavily armed soldiers prepared to regain control of the prison through a full military assault, the inmates were finally forced to surrender. Murder on the Inside tells the harrowing story of a prison in crisis against the backdrop of a pivotal moment in the history of human rights. Occurring just months before the uprising at Attica Prison, the Kingston riot has remained largely undocumented, and few have known the details—yet the tense drama chronicled here is more relevant today than ever. A gripping account of the standoff and the efforts for justice and reform it inspired, Murder on the Inside is essential reading for our times. Includes 24 pages of photographs.
