l'amateurisme revendiqué des Pistols. Tout ce qui fut feu, foudre et larmes, tout ce qui botta jadis le cul au vieux monde. Toute cette flamme, ce sang versé, ces chansons qui parlent aux anges et ces guitares noyées dans la fange. Le premier volume d'une anthologie qui revient sur le sujet sous la plume d'auteurs révélés par Rock & Folk ou Les Inrocks. Des Beatles à Iggy, de Dylan à Neil Young, des Stones à Lou Reed. Ces deux livres forment une sorte de best of. Enluminures. Images d'Epinal. Petit précis de décomposition. Et ça se lit comme un roman, puisque c'est du roman : de la Vie qui essaye d'être un peu plus grande que la Vie. Parce que le rock, au fond, c'est cela. Quelques descriptions de nature sexuelle, de violence, et quelques passages où le langage est grossier. 2007.La Venise de Vivaldi: musique et fêtes baroques
By Patrick Barbier. 2002
La République de Venise vit au XVIIIe siècle ses dernières heures de gloire. Jamais on ne s'est autant diverti, jamais…
la fête et la musique n'ont occupé une telle place dans la vie quotidienne. Le carnaval (qui dure entre cinq et six mois), les fêtes officielles, le jeu, mais aussi les concerts, les cérémonies religieuses et l'opéra provoquent l'admiration et l'envie des visiteurs étrangers. Vivaldi, dont le nom est inséparable de Venise, écrit ses concertos pour les jeunes filles des Hospices et se comporte au théâtre en homme d'affaires, aussi doué que rusé. Du carnaval aux réceptions dans les ambassades, de la basilique Saint-Marc aux grands théâtres d'opéra, des barcarolles sur les canaux à la musique des cloîtres, Patrick Barbier, à partir de mémoires et correspondances du temps, mais aussi grâce à de savoureuses anecdotes, ressuscite la vie musicale de cette ville incomparable.Le jazz (Que sais-je? ; #2392)

Following the river: traces of Red River women
By Lorri Neilsen Glenn. 2017
Glenn first discovered her great-grandmother's tragic death in a passing comment from an aunt. Startled, she began to search out…
the history of her family, to understand the life of this woman she knew nothing about. Along the way Glenn works to unravel the issues of racism, sexism and colonial nation building that haunt us still. In elegant prose and poetry she has created a story of pieces, bringing to life what she could find in newspaper reports and museums. Through these fragments and portraits she gives the reader a glimpse of the lives lived by her ancestors and by women like them. 'Following the River' is a lyric reflection on women that have been erased from our history and what that means for today. 2017.In this together: fifteen stories of truth & reconciliation
By Danielle Metcalfe-Chenail. 2016
This collection of essays from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous contributors from across Canada welcomes readers into a timely, healing conversation.…
They come from journalists, writers, academics, visual artists, filmmakers, city planners, and lawyers, all of whom share their personal light-bulb moments regarding when and how they grappled with the harsh reality of colonization in Canada, and its harmful legacy. Without flinching, they look deeply and honestly at their own experiences and assumptions about race and racial divides in Canada in hopes that the rest of the country will do the same. 2016.Bad medicine: a judge's struggle for justice in a First Nations community
By John Reilly. 2010
Judge John Reilly's jurisdiction included a First Nations community plagued by suicide, addiction, poverty, violence and corruption. Early in his…
career, he steadily handed out prison sentences with little regard for long-term consequences and even less knowledge as to why crime was so rampant on the reserve in the first place. In an unprecedented move, Judge Reilly ordered an investigation into the tragic and corrupt conditions on the reserve. Then some labelled him a racist; others thought he should be removed from his post. But many on the Stoney Reserve hailed him a hero as he attempted to uncover the dark challenges and difficult history many First Nations communities face. 2010.Beyond blood: rethinking indigenous identity
By Pamela D Palmater. 2011
Palmater argues that the Indian Act's registration provisions will lead to the extinguishment of First Nations as legal and constitutional…
entities, as the current status criteria contain descent-based rules that are particularly discriminatory against women and their descendants. Beginning with an historic overview of legislative enactments defining Indian status and their impact on First Nations, the author examines contemporary court rulings dealing with Aboriginal rights and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in relation to Indigenous identity, and band membership codes. She offers suggestions for a better way of determining Indigenous identity and citizenship. 2011.When residential schools opened in the 1830's, First Nations envisioned their children learning in nurturing environments, staffed with their own…
teachers, ministers and interpreters. Instead, students were taught by outsiders, regularly forced to renounce their cultures and languages, and some were subjected to abuse that left emotional scars for generations. Fourteen Aboriginal women who attended these schools reflect on their experiences, describing how they overcame tremendous obstacles to become strong and independent members of Aboriginal cultures. 2004.An historical account of the development of Winnipeg's municipal water supply as an example of the history of settler colonialism.…
Tells of the construction of the Winnipeg/Shoal Lake Aqueduct, completed in 1919. It examines the cultural, social, political, and legal mechanisms that allowed the rapidly growing city of Winnipeg to obtain its water supply by dispossessing the Anishinaabe people of Shoal Lake 40 First Nation of their land, and ultimately depriving them of the very same commodity--clean drinking water--that the city secured for itself. It incorporates archival images that document the expensive and ambitious construction process and addresses these issues within the larger context of colonialism in Canada. 2016.Keetsahnak/Our missing and murdered Indigenous sisters

of violence and how it diminishes life for all. Together, they create a model for anti-violence work from an Indigenous perspective. They acknowledge the destruction wrought by colonial violence, and also look at controversial topics such as lateral violence, challenges in working with “tradition,” and problematic notions involved in “helping.” Through stories of resilience, resistance, and activism, the editors give voice to powerful personal testimony and allow for the creation of knowledge. 2018.Jazz anecdotes

For over 50,000 years, the Great Hunt has shaped human existence, creating a vital spiritual reality where people, animals, and…
the land share intimate bonds. This book takes the reader deep into one of the last refuges of hunting society: Canada's far north. The author travelled five years with First Nations Elders in remote communities across the Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut, experiencing the raw power of their ancient traditions. His vivid narrative combines accounts of daily life, unpublished archival records, current scientific research, First Nations myths, and personal observation to illuminate the northern wilderness, its people, and their complex relationships. 2016.From oral to written: a celebration of Indigenous literature in Canada, 1980-2010
By Tomson Highway. 2017
If as recently as forty years ago there was no recognizable body of work by Canadian writers, as recently as…
thirty years ago there was no Native literature in this country. Perhaps a few books had made a dent on the national consciousness, but now, Native people have a literature that paints them in colours that are psychologically complex and sophisticated, that validates their existence, that gives them dignity, that tells them that they and their culture, their ideas, their languages, are important if not downright essential to the long-term survival of the planet. A study of Native literature published in Canada between 1980 and 2010, a catalogue of amazing books that sparked the embers of a dormant voice. 2017.An intimate wilderness: Arctic voices in a land of vast horizons
By Norman Hallendy. 2016
Arctic researcher, author, and photographer Norman Hallendy’s journey to the far north began in 1958, when many Inuit, who traditionally…
lived on the land, were moving to permanent settlements created by the Canadian government. In this unique memoir, Hallendy writes of his adventures, experiences with strange Arctic phenomena, encounters with wildlife, and deep friendships with Inuit elders. Very few have worked so closely with the Inuit to document their traditions, and in this book, Hallendy preserves their voices and paints an incomparable portrait of a vibrant culture in a remote landscape. 2016.Embers: one Ojibway's meditations
By Richard Wagamese. 2016
Wagamese finds lessons in both the mundane and sublime as he muses on the universe, drawing inspiration from working in…
the bush, sawing and cutting and stacking wood for winter, as well as the smudge ceremony to bring him closer to the Creator. He explores the various manifestations of grief, joy, recovery, beauty, gratitude, physicality and spirituality--concepts many find hard to express. But for Wagamese, spirituality is multifaceted. Within these pages, readers will find hard-won and concrete wisdom on how to feel the joy in the everyday things. Wagamese does not seek to be a teacher or guru, but these observations made along his own journey to become, as he says, "a spiritual bad-ass," make inspiring reading. Bestseller.

By Chelsea Vowel. 2016
Vowel initiates myriad conversations about the relationship between Indigenous peoples and Canada. An advocate for Indigenous worldviews, the author discusses…
the fundamental issues--the terminology of relationships; culture and identity; myth-busting; state violence; and land, learning, law and treaties--along with wider social beliefs about these issues. She answers the questions that many people have on these topics to spark further conversations at home, in the classroom, and in the larger community. Bestseller. 2016.
