  Canada's Indian Act - Policy...

  A time capsule from the early 1990s, this book is one-half academic analysis and one-half practical experience. It offers a learning reference for students of indigenous relations, as well as politics and administration, and serves a unique insight into a policy area that has again in recent years assumed center-stage in Canada. 
  This publication takes two earlier works from 1992 and 1993 respectively: an academic thesis on what was at the time called Indian policy and Canada's Indian Act, and a major research study for the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. Both have been reworked into this new book. 
  Chapter 1: Perspectives from Academia is a reproduction of a Master’s thesis in 1992. When originally prepared, this study represented one of few such studies in Canada that considered the politics and administration issues of Aboriginal governance in Canada. 
  Chapter II: Perspectives from Practice is a reproduction of a final report produced collaboratively with the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. This report explained how the Indian Act both protected, yet stymied, anyone with entrepreneurial drive if that person, or groups of people, were located on-reserve. 
  Both parts of this book were prepared during a brief “moment” 30 years ago when indigenous issues became a national priority. The controversies around the Meech Lake Accord, the military-Mohawk confrontation at Oka, and the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples highlighted the desperation all too characteristic of Canada’s indigenous reality. Then, as today, Canada’s Indian Act and its legacy, lie at the heart of it all – a reality that indigenous and non-indigenous Canadians alike struggle to reconcile.

  The Ultimate Goal - A Former...

  In The Ultimate Goal, Vikram Sood, former chief of India's external intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), explains 'the narrative' and how a country's ability to construct, sustain and control narratives, at home and abroad, enhances its strength and position. Intelligence agencies invariably play a critical role in this, an often-indispensable tool of statecraft. 
  A 'narrative' may not necessarily be based on truth, but it does need to be plausible, have a meaning and create a desired perception. During most of the twentieth century, intelligence agencies helped shape narratives favourable to their countries' agendas through literature, history, drama, art, music and cinema. Today, social media has become crucial to manipulating, countering or disrupting narratives, with its ability to spread fake news and disinformation, and provoke reactions.

  Fire in the Streets - How You...

  "What can we do amidst all the controversies over race and gender in society today? Do we have anything constructive to offer the world? As Jesus's followers, we do, and this book shows the way. A dangerous and revolutionary philosophy is responsible for the street fires in America. It fuels the actions of Black Lives Matter and Antifa. It invades curricula in public schools and in our military. It is in our churches. You have heard the phrase “white privilege,” the need for “safe spaces” on campuses, and perhaps the tongue-twister “intersectionality.” Behind all of these is an ideology called critical theory, which is a form of cultural Marxism that divides society into the oppressed and the oppressors. It claims that America is “systemically racist” and founded on slavery. It believes that the voices of minorities should trump the perspective of dominant culture. Unfortunately, this flawed perspective is overtaking our culture and infiltrating many of our churches. In this book, we consider the importance of critical theory, explain its origins, question its aims, and subject it to a logical critique. Listeners will -Gain a better understanding of critical theory; -See how it is permeating many aspects of society; -Discover how it opposes a Christian worldview; -Learn how to counter it constructively. A biblical alternative to matters of justice and politics is available, one that is right and true, one based on the ideals of the American founding. Find it in these pages."

  Written by the winner of the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize 
   
  Female prisoners of conscience and activists speak out against torture in Iranian prisons 
   
  With a foreword by Shirin Ebadi, Nobel Peace Prize winner 
   
  Extended solitary confinement has been condemned as a severe violation of human rights. Yet it is still widely used in Iranian prisons. In White Torture, thirteen women, including Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, share their experiences of imprisonment: harassment and beatings by guards, total blindfolding and denial of medical treatment. Angry interrogators threaten their families and lie about their whereabouts. One prisoner is even told she is dead. 
   
  None of the women have committed crimes – they are prisoners of conscience or held hostage as bargaining chips. Through psychological torture, the Iranian state hopes to remake their souls. These interviews, carried out while each woman was in prison or facing charges, are astounding documents of resistance and integrity. White Torture unveils the rot at the heart of the Iranian legal system and calls on us to act for change.
