rose de papier à la boutonnière. Tout le monde veut te souffler sa petite idée, tu as l'écoute un rien complaisante, tu traînes du papier à musique, au cas où; on fait ce qu'on peut avec ce qu'on a, et tout ce qu'on a c'est le bruit, c'est bien ça? Parle dans la tempête, voir. Une toune dans la tête, si tu la chantes, va-t-elle s'en aller? L'air est plus clair en hiver, alors les sons voyagent mieux, non? Il y aura des questions, tu prendras le métro, faut quand même vivre aussi, tu penses à un sous-marin, le son se diffuse autrement dans l'eau - un jour tu te feras pousser des ailes, tu planeras sur les ondes grises, les ondes bleues.

An exposure of historical and contemporary practices of state-sanctioned violence against Black lives in Canada. Dispels many prevailing myths that…
cast Canada as a land of benevolence and racial equality, and uncovers long-standing state practices that have restricted Black freedom. Creates a framework that makes legible how anti-Blackness has influenced the construction of Canada's carceral landscape, including the development and application of numerous criminal law enforcement and border regulation practices. Traces the historical and contemporary mobilization of anti-Blackness spanning from slavery, 19th and 20th century segregation practices, and the application of early drug and prostitution laws through to the modern era. Maynard makes visible the ongoing legacy of a demonized and devalued Blackness that is manifest today as racial profiling by police, immigration agents and social services, the over-representation of Black communities in jails and prisons, anti-Black immigration detention and deportation practices, the over-representation of Black youth in state care, the school-to-prison pipeline and gross economic inequality.
