Sinopsis

Heathen Slaves and Christian Rulers is a compelling anthology examining the grim realities of gender and power dynamics across cultures and continents. Through a mix of historical analysis, personal narratives, and impassioned discourses, the collection traverses a range of literary styles to present a comprehensive view of the intricate ties between colonialism, religion, and the subjugation of women. The anthology highlights not only the oppression faced by women in the grip of these powerful forces but also their resilience and the subtle acts of rebellion that served as precursors to wider feminist movements. This ensemble of works appeals to readers interested in global histories, feminist discourse, and the human condition. Compiled by Elizabeth Wheeler Andrew and Katharine C. Bushnell, trailblazing figures in the early Christian feminist movement, the anthology draws from their extensive experience and activism. The diverse voices curated in this work reflect a spectrum of narratives that interrogate religious and cultural orthodoxies, challenging predominant narratives from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As pioneers who keenly sought intersectional understandings of oppression, Andrew and Bushnell position the anthology firmly within progressive social reform and the burgeoning debate on women's rights. Readers are invited to explore Heathen Slaves and Christian Rulers as a profound resource that offers a myriad of perspectives on the intersection of sex, power, and faith. This anthology not only educates but provokes critical thinking and reflection on historical and contemporary gender issues. Ideal for students and scholars alike, it encourages dialogue and offers insights into the socio-political landscapes that continue to influence gender relations today. Authored by voices steeped in both historical context and activist urgency, it becomes an indispensable tool in understanding the complexities of cultural and religious domination.

Where were you when the wildfires raged?
In 2023, while flames rushed across Canada and produced the orange haze of an apocalyptic future, twenty-one authors picked up their pens and began to write. Red Eyes and Tired Lungs: An Anthology of Wildfire showcases a collection of thirty-five pieces from Canadian writers that were inspired by, or in response to, wildfire.
Evacuation orders have been issued, and now the flame stalks across the forest. A sweet, lovable dog deals with an evacuation and the after-affects of severe smoke inhalation. What do you grab when you have only minutes to leave? Would you drive into the flames to help a friend save others? Flames shaped like women are luring people to their death, and a podcaster interviews someone who is apparently immune. Does the earth feel like an angry boyfriend about to break up with you? A dryad tries to locate the source of a wildfire and finds a misplaced creature. Can you find the good in a summer drowned in smoke? Will you miss the sounds of disappearing species? What would you do for a delicious can of sugar juice? A little boy listens to what the flames speak. A wildfire firefighter finds herself stalked by flames in two worlds. If you had to decide what could be saved, what would you choose? All these stories, poems, and more explore the many facets of wildfire.

Two Hearts One Beat

Marcus Gunnarsen, Martinus...

“For twelve years, others have tried to tell our story. Others have tried to put into words how two ten-year-old twins came to be called the biggest pop phenomenon in the Nordics. Now it’s our turn.” 
Sold-out concerts, prestigious awards and screaming fans were everyday life for Marcus and Martinus for many years, but just as they were about to embark on their first world tour, everything they had built came crashing down. As the Covid-19 pandemic spread, the twin brothers found themselves isolated in their hometown, forced to face their first major crisis. While the situation gave them a rare opportunity to live a normal life, one question gnawed at them: Would their audience welcome them back — this time as adult artists? 
For the first time, Marcus and Martinus share the darker side of growing up in the spotlight, the crash that threatened to destroy everything they had worked for, and the challenges of finding their own voices after always being seen as one half of a duo. 
Marcus & Martinus burst onto the international music scene in 2012 and have since continued to captivate audiences with their charismatic performances. With millions of followers worldwide and over a billion streams, the Norwegian duo has sold out arenas across Scandinavia.

Canada Under Siege - How PEI...

Garry Clement, Michel Juneau...

In a chilling tale of soft power, corruption, and covert influence, Canada Under Siege pulls back the curtain on how the Chinese Communist Party quietly turned Prince Edward Island into a strategic forward operating base—right under the noses of Islanders and Ottawa alike.

Drawing from a nearly two-year investigation by veteran intelligence officer and Chief of Asia Pacific (CSIS) Michel Juneau-Katsuya, former RCMP financial crime chief Garry Clement, and publisher Dean Baxendale, this groundbreaking exposé follows the money, the land grabs, the political manipulation, and the elites, captured or compromised.
This is not fiction. With whistleblower testimony, court documents, and explosive first-hand accounts stretching from Charlottetown to Taiwan, this book connects the dots between organized crime, espionage, elite capture, and Beijing’s United Front Work Department.

What emerges is a damning picture of how one of the world’s most authoritarian regimes used immigration loopholes, Buddhist temples, and Anne of Green Gables to anchor its influence in Canada’s Prince Edward Island, the birthplace of Canadian Confederation. With China’s increased belligerence towards taking Taiwan by force, the authors show readers how the infiltration of Buddhist groups is playing a key role in the soft power dynamic in Taiwan and around the world, particularly as it relates to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Tibetan Buddhism.

Canada Under Siege is more than an exposé, it’s a warning. The threat is no longer at the gates. It’s already here. The time to act is now.
