landmark decade in the struggle for women's rights, public discourse about birth control and family planning was transformed. At the same time, a transnational conversation about the "population bomb" that threatened global famine caused by overpopulation embraced birth control technologies for a different set of reasons, revisiting controversial ideas about eugenics, heredity, and degeneration. In Challenging Choices Erika Dyck and Maureen Lux argue that reproductive politics in 1970s Canada were shaped by competing ideologies on global population control, poverty, personal autonomy, race, and gender. For some Canadians the 1970s did not bring about an era of reproductive liberty but instead reinforced traditional power dynamics and paternalistic structures of authority. Dyck and Lux present case studies of four groups of Canadians who were routinely excluded from progressive, reformist discourse: Indigenous women and their communities, those with intellectual and physical disabilities, teenage girls, and men. In different ways, each faced new levels of government regulation, scrutiny, or state intervention as they negotiated their reproductive health, rights, and responsibilities in the so-called era of sexual liberation. While acknowledging the reproductive rights gains that were made in the 1970s, the authors argue that the legal changes affected Canadians differently depending on age, social position, gender, health status, and cultural background. Illustrating the many ways to plan a modern family, these case studies reveal how the relative merits of life and choice were pitted against each other to create a new moral landscape for evaluating classic questions about population control.From Double Eagle To Red Flag

of the leaders of the counterrevolutionary White movement afterward.

By Rosa E King. 2020
Here is a set of memoirs by an English lady, who went to the resort city of Cuernavaca in Morelos…
in 1905. After the death of her husband...by 1910 she had purchased a tourist hotel and catered to the Mexican leaders of the day who frequently resorted to the beautiful southern city.Soon there came on the horrors of the revolution which Mrs. King clearly shows to have been a clash between the fundamental rights of man and intolerable exploitation by a class themselves most attractive as friends and acquaintances. The leader of the south, Zapata, is frankly ranked only after Hidalgo and Juarez in the social emancipation of Mexico. His personal foibles are not mentioned but the significance of his movement is constantly emphasized...There is no effort to portray the causes behind the political moves of the day. In fact, all politics are so carefully avoided that even the famous last trip of Madero to Cuernavaca is left with a queerly inadequate explanation. The high point of the narrative is the two chapters devoted to the siege of the southern city and the three covering its evacuation and the tragic journey of the people to Toluca. This account is stark and so unreal as to leave the reader almost skeptical were it not for a force and detail and a local description that bear the stamp of fact. Throughout, the author's theme is: "The Zapatistas were not an army; they were a people in arms". Though the immediate results were ruin, death, and destruction, the writer firmly believes the revolution justified and that "strong nations the world over have been built on the ruins of a just revolt".Now, thirty years later, the author, broken in health and with property gone, has retired to live in her beloved Cuernavaca, sincerely loving the humble and the great of her adopted country.In short: A book of memoirs by a competent observer; and withal one that is intensely interesting both to layman and scholar.-W. H. CALLCOTTCanada and the Ukrainian Crisis
By Bohdan S. Kordan, Mitchell C.G. Dowie. 2020
Since 1991, Canada has provided Ukraine with ongoing political and economic assistance. Never was this policy pursued with more urgency…
than in 2014, when Russian aggression prompted the Canadian government to elevate its support for Ukraine to a foreign policy priority. Although the move is often described as a radical departure, Bohdan Kordan and Mitchell Dowie contend that it was consistent with Canada's security interests and political and historical identity. In this calculation the worldview of Prime Minister Stephen Harper also figured prominently. Canada and the Ukrainian Crisis offers a timely explanation of the dynamic interaction between key factors - at the international, national, and individual levels - that shaped the Canadian government's response and imbued it with an unusual degree of urgency. Explaining the nature of the crisis and why it elicited such a forceful reaction from the Harper government, Kordan and Dowie assert that Canada's decision to side openly with Ukraine is best understood as a course correction, rather than a completely new foreign policy direction. They argue that this action reaffirmed Canada's historical commitment to a liberal rules-based order that has been an emblem of its foreign policy since the Second World War, treating the Ukrainian crisis as part of a wider struggle to defend liberal principles and values. Resolving lingering questions about the most serious geopolitical event since the end of the Cold War, Canada and the Ukrainian Crisis demonstrates that the policy changes triggered by the crisis represent a return to deep-rooted concerns about international order.Continúa el viaje espiritual y físico iniciado en mi libro anterior El día fue hecho para caminar por el Camino de Santiago…

By Alexandra Lucas Coelho. 2010
O olhar de Alexandra Lucas Coelho sobre um país de contrastes. Finalista do Prémio Portugal Telecom de Literatura Uma viagem,…
em 2010, da Cidade do México à fronteira mortal de Ciudad Juárez, das montanhas de Chiapas às selvas do Yucatán, em que o poderoso mundo indígena das Américas se cruza com a convulsão do presente. Alexandra Lucas Coelho encontra migrantes clandestinos e crentes na Virgem, sobreviventes dos cartéis e zapatistas, rappers feministas e travestis, operárias e botânicos, arqueólogos e mágicos. Uma travessia transformadora por um país tão arcaico quanto futuro, que entra na pele e comove desde o primeiro dia. Os elogios da crítica: «A escrita é rápida, muito nítida, às vezes lírica, sempre de uma extraordinária atenção aos detalhes e capaz de maravilhosos achados verbais. (#) Se tivesse que resumir numa frase aexperiência de ler Viva México, diria que esta é uma prosa que não descreve, ilumina. E assim a viagem de quem narra torna-se, quase sem darmos por isso, a viagem de quem lê. Sorte a nossa.»José Mário Silva, Expresso «À semelhança do que já acontecia em Caderno Afegão, também neste livro há uma dimensão poética que o eleva acima de um comum livro de viagens, isto é grande "literatura de viagens". (#) Este livro é uma delícia, que sem dúvida poderá ombrear com os clássicos do género. Se a inveja for mesmo um pecado, Viva México pode tornar-nos pecadores, porque invejamos a coragem necessária para esta viagem fora dos normais circuitos (mesmo para os mais afoitos), o despojamento para atravessar lugares da selva mexicana onde os habitantes do Velho Mundo pouco se aventuram.»José Riço Direitinho, Público «Quem tem da reportagem a ideia ingénua de aceder à cor local, ao ambiente e a meia dúzia de histórias, ora comoventes, ora chocantes, bem pode preparar o cérebro para a convulsão destes textos. O que aqui lemos não é o México dos postais, ainda que por aqui andem a Virgem de Guadalupe, as caveiras açucaradas e os sombreros. E também não é a hecatombe mostrada com cores sanguinárias, naquele tom fabricado para nos deixar chocados com a miséria alheia durante uns minutos, antes de passarmos às notícias da bola. O que aqui lemos é o resultado do encontro, dos muitos encontros que a repórter procura e regista. São as pessoas a matéria destes textos, as pessoas e a sua bagagem, que pode incluir sombreros turísticos e assassinatos impunes. (#) Não é propriamente o lado humano, no sentido mais lamechas que o termo pode ter, mas antes a certeza do confronto em cada história partilhada: confronto diário entre o que se espera e o que se alcança, confronto dialéctico entre o passado de um país e a sua construção presente. E isso faz pensar e olhar o mundo de um modo que nenhuma reportagem-choque alcança.»Sara Figueiredo Costa, Time OutThe Pleasures and Treasures of Britain

This official account of the crisis in the Persian Gulf traces the Canadian Forces commitment to the Gulf region in…
response to Iraqi aggression in 1990-1991. Written by two officers who served in the Persian Gulf during the period of hostilities in 1991, this official account is the fruit of four years of detailed research. Based upon their personal experiences, numerous interviews, and unrestricted access to official papers, they have produced a candid account of value for both the military professional and the interested civilian. In January 1991, the Chief of Defence Staff authorized the Director of History to post Major Jean Morin as field historian to the staff of the Commander, Canadian Forces Middle East (Commodore Ken Summers). It was the first time since the Korean War that a historical officer had been posted to the staff of a Canadian commander overseas.Remembering the Don: A Rare Record of Earlier Times Within the Don River Valley
