Peddling Snakeoil for the Modern Age

By William Holt

as a Loan Stars Smarchvember 2019 Adult top pick

This is a really great book that really opens your eyes to the use of hokey-pokey snakeoil based teething pain treatments that aren't Tylenol or Motrin based. Or then something else entirely that has nothing to do

Series: Symbols of Canada Paperback Michael Dawson 9781771133715 $37.95 SOCIAL SCIENCE Oct 23, 2018

From Timbits to totem poles, Canada is boiled down to its syrupy core in symbolic forms that are reproduced not only on t-shirts, television ads, and tattoos but in classrooms, museums, and courtrooms too. They can be found in every home and in every public space. They come in many forms, from objects—like the red-uniformed Mountie, the maple leaf, and the beaver—to concepts—like free healthcare, peacekeeping, and saying “eh?”. But where did these symbols come from, what do they mean, and how have their meanings changed over time? Symbols of... + Read More

Series: Marvellous Grounds Queer of Colour Formations in Toronto Paperback Jin Haritaworn 9781771133647 $29.95 SOCIAL SCIENCE Oct 18, 2018

Toronto has long been a place that people of colour move to in order to join queer of colour communities. Yet the city’s rich history of activism by queer and trans Black, Indigenous, and racialized people (QTBIPOC) remains largely unwritten and unarchived. While QTBIPOC have a long and visible presence in the city, they always appear as newcomers in queer urban maps and archives in which white queers appear as the only historical subjects imaginable. The first collection of its kind to feature the art, activism, and writings of QTBIPOC in T... + Read More

Series: Party of Conscience The CCF, the NDP, and Social Democracy in Canada Paperback Roberta Lexier 9781771133920 $27.95 POLITICAL SCIENCE Sep 24, 2018

Surveying the field of political history in Canada, one might assume that the politics of the nation have been shaped solely by the Liberal and Conservative parties. Relatively little attention has been paid to the contributions of the CCF and NDP in Canadian politics. This collection remedies this imbalance with a critical examination of the place of social democracy in Canadian history and politics. Bringing together the work of politicians, think tank members, party activists, union members, scholars, students, and social movement actors ... + Read More

Series: A Chance to Fight Hitler A Canadian Volunteer in the Spanish Civil War Paperback David Goutor 9781771133951 $26.95 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY Oct 09, 2018

In late 1936, as Franco’s armies stormed toward Madrid, Stalin famously termed the defence of Spain “the common cause of all advanced and progressive mankind.” As a German emigrant to Winnipeg, Hans Ibing recognized the importance of the Spanish Civil War to the struggle against worldwide fascism in a way that most people in Canada did not—joining the International Brigades in their fight to defend the Spanish Republic was his “chance to fight Hitler.” Drawing on interviews, Ibing’s personal papers, and archival material, David Goutor recoun... + Read More

Series: Moving Against the System The 1968 Congress of Black Writers and the Making of Global Consciousness Paperback David Austin 9781771133890 $29.95 SOCIAL SCIENCE Sep 07, 2018

In 1968, as protests shook France and war raged in Vietnam, the giants of Black radical politics descended on Montreal to discuss the unique challenges and struggles facing their brothers and sisters. For the first time since 1968, David Austin brings alive the speeches and debates of the most important international gathering of Black radicals of the era. Against a backdrop of widespread racism in the West, and colonialism and imperialism in the “Third World,” this group of activists, writers, and political figures gathered to discuss the h... + Read More

Series: Dread Poetry and Freedom Linton Kwesi Johnson and the Unfinished Revolution Paperback David Austin 9781771134019 $29.95 LITERARY CRITICISM Oct 25, 2018

Since the 1970s, poet Linton Kwesi Johnson has been putting pen to paper to refute W.H. Auden’s claim that “poetry makes nothing happen.” For Johnson, only the second living poet to have been published in the Penguin Modern Classics series, writing has always been “a political act” and poetry “a cultural weapon.” In Dread Poetry and Freedom David Austin explores the themes of poetry, political consciousness, and social transformation through the prism of Johnson’s work. Drawing from the Bible, reggae and Rastafari, and surrealism, socialism,... + Read More

Series: Witches, Witch-Hunting, and Women Paperback Silvia Federici 9781771133746 $16.00 SOCIAL SCIENCE Sep 14, 2018

We are witnessing a new surge of interpersonal and institutional violence against women, including new witch hunts, which have occurred alongside an expansion of capitalist social relations. In this new work Federici revisits some of the main themes of Caliban and the Witch, examining the root causes of these developments and outlining the consequences for the women affected and their communities. No less than the witch hunts in sixteenth-and seventeenth-century Europe and the “New World,” this new war on women is a structural element of the n... + Read More

Series: Re-enchanting the World Feminism and the Politics of the Commons Paperback Silvia Federici 9781771133777 $21.95 SOCIAL SCIENCE Dec 19, 2018

Drawing on rich historical research, Silvia Federici maps the connections between the previous forms of enclosure that occurred with the birth of capitalism and the destruction of the commons and the “new enclosures” at the heart of the present phase of global capitalist accumulation. Considering the commons from a feminist perspective, this collection centers on women and reproductive work as crucial to both our economic survival and the construction of a world free from the hierarchies and divisions capital has planted in the body of the wor... + Read More

Series: Shout Your Abortion Paperback Amelia Bonow 9781771133838 $26.95 SOCIAL SCIENCE Nov 13, 2018

Following the U.S. Congress’s attempts to defund Planned Parenthood, the hashtag #ShoutYourAbortion became a viral conduit for abortion storytelling, receiving extensive media coverage and positioning real human experiences at the center of America’s abortion debate for the very first time. This online momentum quickly launched a grassroots storytelling movement, inspiring countless individuals to share their stories in art, media, and community events and to create spaces for others to do the same. Shout Your Abortion is a collection of pho... + Read More

Series: Art after Money, Money after Art Creative Strategies against Financialization Paperback Max Haiven 9781771133982 $29.95 ART Sep 12, 2018

We imagine that art and money are old enemies, but this myth actually reproduces a violent system of global capitalism and prevents us from imagining and building alternatives. From the chaos unleashed by the ‘imaginary’ money in financial markets to the new forms of exploitation enabled by the ‘creative economy’ to the way art has become the plaything of the world’s plutocrats, our era of financialization demands that we question our romantic assumptions about art and money. By exploring the way contemporary artists engage with cash, debt, ... + Read More

Series: Soccer vs. the State Tackling Football and Radical Politics, Second Edition 2nd edition Paperback Gabriel Kuhn 9781771133807 $22.00 SPORTS & RECREATION Jan 09, 2019

Soccer has turned into a multi-billion-dollar industry. Professionalism and commercialization dominate its global image. Yet the game retains a rebellious side, maybe more so than any other sport co-opted by money makers and corrupt politicians. From its roots in working-class England to political protests by players and fans, and a current radical soccer underground, the notion of football as the “people’s game” has been kept alive by numerous individuals, teams, and communities. This book not only traces this history, but also reflects on ... + Read More
