In 2011, the lives of 48 Edmontonians came to a sudden, violent end, leading to the city of Edmonton gaining the dubious moniker of the year: “Murder Capital of Canada.” It wasn’t the first time the city of champions had snagged the title nobody wants to claim.  In Deadmonton, former Edmonton Sun reporter Pamela Roth takes a look at some of Edmonton’s most notorious murders, both solved and unsolved. Told first-hand by the victims’ families, these stories serve as a disturbing reminder of the horror that humans are capable of inflicting upon each other, and highlight the immense sadness and pain left in the wake of these crimes. But Deadmonton also gives a glimpse into the lives of detectives working tirelessly to bring closure to the families and justice to the victims’ names.

A user-friendly guide that teaches core Nakoda vocabulary and how to use it in conversationPractising Nakoda contains basic Nakoda vocabulary, organized into 30 themes (such as animals, clothing, directions, and time) and divided into sections meant to enhance daily and ceremonial communication (including dances, ceremonies, and ceremonial clothing). The guide provides words for every theme from which the reader can forge a general view of word formation patterns. In a thematic dictionary, words are not organized alphabetically but are grouped according to the root element or their meaning. Since Nakoda is a polysynthetic language where words are often built up with many elements that attach to the root, this is a necessary format that enhances the learner’s “morphological awareness.” The guide will help learners identify the root of each word, along with the “morphemes,” critical to the successful learning of the Nakoda language, and the comprehension of complex vocabulary.

In all these poems I’m partly somewhere else.With you, without you,walking toward you or away,but you are there, your small face watching from the shadow of a doorwayor a set of stairs, from behind a curtain or a table.Sometimes I see you at the piano.You stop playing, turn to me,and in that pause, tell me something necessary.   Poet Karen Enns takes the reader on a lyrical journey, wrapped in the vicissitudes of seasons and weather—while observing human and other-than-human lives. Enns invites us to peer and is concerned always with the locations and dislocations perspective implies and creates.

Named the fourth most important "Book of the Year" by the National Post in 2015 and voted "One Book/One Province" in Saskatchewan for 2017, The Education of Augie Merasty launched on the front page of The Globe and Mail to become a national bestseller and an instant classic. A courageous and intimate memoir, The Education of Augie Merasty is the story of a child who faced the dark heart of humanity, let loose by the cruel policies of a bigoted nation.  A retired fisherman and trapper who sometimes lived rough on the streets, Augie Merasty was one of an estimated 150,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Metis children who were taken from their families and sent to government-funded, church-run schools, where they were subjected to a policy of aggressive assimilation.  As Augie recounts, these schools did more than attempt to mould children in the ways of white society. They were taught to be ashamed of their heritage and, as he experienced, often suffered physical and sexual abuse.  But even as he looks back on this painful part of his childhood, Merasty's sense of humour and warm voice shine through. 

An unprecedented look inside a 150 year-long legal battle for independence, land, and justice In 1874, Chief Chacachas entered a sacred covenant with the Government of Canada by signing Treaty 4 at Fort Qu'Appelle, securing reserve lands for his people at the Crooked Lakes in Southeast Saskatchewan. Only seven years later, the Department of Indian Affairs forcibly displaced Chacachas members onto a joint reserve, amalgamating them into the Ochapowace Band and erasing their identity as an independent band. The Lost Reserve chronicles the Chacachas Treaty Nation's unwavering decades-long struggle to reclaim their stolen lands. From early efforts to seek redress in the 1930s, to organizing in the 1970s, to a more-than-twenty-year-long court case culminating in a 2020 judgment affirming the continued existence of the Chacachas Treaty Nation, the book reveals the emotional and financial toll of seeking justice in a system designed to stall reconciliation. While the 2020 court ruling restored their legal identity, the battle isn't over-the Chacachas remain in an administrative limbo without reserve lands. Drawing from archival records, legal documents, oral histories from Chacachas Elders, and personal testimonies, the book also includes rare commentary from the judge who presided over the case, revealing the inner workings of the kind of legal battle that is often fought in silence for fear of retribution. Written in partnership between the Chacachas Treaty Nation and an expert historian, and featuring a foreword from Chief Charlie Bear, The Lost Reserve is both a history and a reclamation-a Nation telling their own story of resilience and resistance. It is a story all too familiar for Indigenous communities everywhere, for whom the legacy of settler colonialism is far from over.

Holes command attention. They make us giggle, squirm, and wonder. But what do they really mean to us and why are they so often surrounded by surprising discourses of power and control? For millennia, the figure of the hole stood as the cornerstone for idioms and expressions that denote emptiness, lack, absences, and voids. Approaching a hole makes one wary of imbalance or depravation. A hole demands to be filled. This Book Is Full of Holes challenges these hollow associations, offering instead a range of unexpected (and provocative) religious, sociosexual, philosophical, and scientific discourses. Through an analysis of a wide range of literary and cultural objects, yasser elhariry brings disparate discursive spheres into conversation. He nimbly juxtaposes the holey relationships between ancient Hebrew riddles and Hollywood space movies, '90s grunge and Black astrophysics, Swiss cheese and philosophy, sacred ritual and postcolonial feminism. Satirical, dead serious, and deeply personal, elhariry's treatise on this seemingly dead-end object-holes-illuminates the paradox that they nonetheless maintain a persistent hold on the imagination. His stylish analysis reveals their overlooked racialized, gendered, homophobic, and corporeal histories. Holes have been weaponized. This Book Is Full of Holes disarms.
