By Brigitte Racine. 2008
"Pour vivre en harmonie avec son enfant, il est primordial d'établir avec lui un solide lien d'attachement et de confiance.…
Lorsque l'enfant se sent aimé, valorisé et sécurisé, lorsqu'il constate qu'on croit en lui et qu'on partage des moments de plaisir avec lui, il a envie de collaborer et de vivre une relation où chacun est attentif aux besoins de l'autre. Il ne faut pas chercher plus loin, c'est aussi simple que ça, c'est un jeu d'enfant. Tel est l'essentiel de cet ouvrage sur la discipline, que parents et éducateurs ont tout intérêt à lire. De façon plus précise, l'auteur définit ce qu'il faut entendre par une discipline incitative. Faisant appel à des moyens concrets et efficaces, elle met en garde les parents contre les effets négatifs des punitons et des récompenses. Elle souligne, par contre, les bienfaits de l'action de réparation qui fait appel à ce que l'enfant a de meilleur en lui et qui favorise par le fait même l'harmonie familiale". -- 4e de couv.Le défi de la discipline familiale (Collection Famille.)

outside the borders of the United States. The movement’s message found fertile ground in Canada, where Black activists speak of generations of injustice and continue the work of the Black liberators who have come before them.

It describes the latest developments in Canadian Black activism, organizing efforts through the use of social media, Black-Indigenous alliances, and more."Until We Are Free busts myths of Canadian politeness and niceness, myths that prevent Canadians from properly fulfilling its dream of multiculturalism and from challenging systemic racism, including the everyday assaults on black and brown bodies.

By Rinaldo Walcott, Idil Abdillahi. 2019
What does it mean in the era of Black Lives Matter to continue to ignore and deny the violence that…
is the foundation of the Canadian nation state? BlackLife discloses the ongoing destruction of Black people as enacted not simply by state structures, but beneath them in the foundational modernist ideology that underlies thinking around migration and movement, as Black erasure and death are unveiled as horrifically acceptable throughout western culture. With exactitude and celerity, Idil Abdillahi and Rinaldo Walcott pull from local history, literature, theory, music, and public policy around everything from arts funding, to crime and mental health--presenting a convincing call to challenge pervasive thought on dominant culture's conception of Black personhood. They argue that artists, theorists, activists, and scholars offer us the opportunity to rethink and expose flawed thought, providing us new avenues into potential new lives and a more livable reality of BlackLife.No More Nice Girls: Gender, Power, and Why It’s Time to Stop Playing by the Rules
By Lauren McKeon. 2020
A groundbreaking, insightful book about women and power from award-winning journalist Lauren McKeon, which shows how women are disrupting the…
standard (very male) vision of power, ditching convention, and building a more equitable world for everyone.In the age of girl bosses, Beyoncé, and Black Widow, we like to tell our little girls they can be anything they want when they grow up, except they’ll have to work twice as hard, be told to “play nice,” and face countless double standards that curb their personal, political, and economic power. Women today remain a surprisingly, depressingly long way from gender and racial equality. It’s worth asking: Why do we keep playing a game we were never meant to win?Award-winning journalist and author of F-Bomb: Dispatches from the War on Feminism, Lauren McKeon examines the many ways in which our institutions are designed to keep women and other marginalized genders at a disadvantage. In doing so, she reveals why we need more than parity, visible diversity, and lone female CEOs to change this power game. She talks to people doing power differently in a variety of sectors and uncovers new models of power. And as the toxic, divisive, and hyper-masculine style of leadership gains ground, she underscores why it’s time to stop playing by the rules of a rigged game.
