Y a-t-il quelque chose de commun entre la mort de Joyce Echaquan en 2020 et celle de Marie-Joseph Angélique en…
1734? La militante de longue date Alexandra Pierre en aurait long à dire sur le sujet. Dans ce livre, elle s'entretient avec neuf femmes autochtones, noires et racisées afin de connaître leurs traditions de résistance et faire apparaître le fil qui les unit les unes aux autres. Des échanges avec ces femmes engagées, elle en tire un matériau inédit, ancré dans les luttes passées et futures, et détaché des grandes trames du féminisme blanc et du militantisme de gauche. Habilement orchestré, alternant de l'intime au politique, cet essai personnel nous fait découvrir la perspective décoloniale d'une penseuse insoumiseSmile So Big

It’s a magic mirror — shiny, beaded and beautiful — passed on from her mom, and from her djo djo before her.Challa’s mom tells her that when anyone looks into the mirror, they will see their true self. There’s just one rule: Everyone has to say what they see in the reflection.At first the mirror seems to work for everyone but her. Challa keeps looking and looking. The more beauty she sees in herself, the happier she feels, and the longer she looks into the mirror, the more beauty she sees, until finally Challa sees so much beauty, she can't contain her smile!This special story, from award-winning activist Sunshine Quem Tenasco and artist Chief Lady Bird, introduces readers to concepts of self-acceptance, self-empowerment, and recognition of the unique beauty that comes from within.Available copies:
