Critique de livre: Petit pays de Gaël Faye

2019-03-14

Petit pays met en scène le Burundi, cet état Africain dans la région des Grands Lacs, souvent à l'ombre du Rwanda et de son histoire tumultueuse. Il est indéniable que ce roman parle de la guerre; début 1990 dans cette région du monde, à la veille d'une guerre civile, on ne peut faire autrement. Petit pays est beaucoup plus que ça: c'est un récit d'enfance qui raconte la ville de Bujumbura aux yeux de Gabriel, 10 ans. C'est un roman d'une lumière et d'une légèreté bouleversante.

Education is a right | Roxanne Dubois

From the archives: In 2012, students across the country organized a National Day of Action on February 1. In the lead-up to the day, I wrote a series of posts prompting students to get active in the fight for Education as a right for themselves and the generations of students coming after them. I am re-publishing these posts in the wake of Doug Ford's attack on students' unions in Ontario, the only organized and well-resourced force that has historically resisted tuition fee increases and funding cuts to post-secondary education.

Du Québec au Brésil, en passant par la France: une épopée féminine | Roxanne Dubois

Roxanne Dubois

2019-02-21

'Le tout dernier roman d'Éric Dupont, La route du lilas, publié l'automne dernier, a la qualité d'être prometteur. Deux femmes, une Québécoise et une Brésilienne, se rencontrent à Paris juste avant les évènements de mai 1968. Elles se lient d'amour, découvrent ensemble la ville, la littérature, et certaines douleurs de la vie. Ce roman épique, qui tangue de la France au Brésil, et de Nashville à la Gaspésie, est un hommage aux personnages féminins grandioses, ainsi qu'à la fleur peu commune qu'est le lilas.'

Incertitude environnementale et arrogance humaine | Roxanne Dubois

Roxanne Dubois

2019-02-21

'Alors que les intempéries ragent et que les catastrophes climatiques empirent, les humains s'entêtent avec leur arrogance tenace. Ils rient devant une nature déchaînée et imprévisible. Ils se baignent dans des eaux infestées de requins luminescents. En quête de sensations fortes, ils défient les règles et entrent dans une fosse aux lions. Ils se prélassent dans un spa-nature en pleine pluie torrentielle. Voilà le monde de Faunes.'

The Occupation of the American Mind | Narrated by Roger Waters

2019-02-12

'Despite receiving an overwhelmingly positive response from those who have actually seen it, The Occupation of the American Mind has been repeatedly attacked and misrepresented by right-wing pressure groups and outright ignored by virtually all mainstream media outlets and North American film festivals. To bypass this campaign of misrepresentation and suppression, we've decided to make the film available for FREE online so that people can make up their own minds about its analysis of U.S. media coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Please watch and share widely!'
