Je vous salue--
Pour donner la parole à ceux qui ne l'ont pas et parler à la place de ceux qui ne le peuvent pas, écrit l'anthropologue Rose Dufour dans la dédicace de cet ouvrage dans lequel 20 femmes qui en sont venues à se prostituer, 64 clients (une première dans les Amériques) et 2 proxénètes témoignent, au terme d'une extraordinaire action-recherche ? presque une saga ? sur la prostitution féminine, qui a duré près de 4 ans. Trois questions composent la base de l'ouvrage, trois parties comme les trois acteurs principaux du système prostitutionnel?: Comment des filles en viennent-elles à se prostituer?? Pourquoi des hommes sont-ils clients de prostituées?? Comment d'autres deviennent-ils proxénètes?? Tel est le sujet de ce livre, dense, profondément humain, dans lequel des femmes retracent sans contrainte leur cheminement dans une sorte d'exutoire souvent insoutenable. Aux préjugés communs, il oppose la pleine compréhension des processus personnels, familiaux et sociaux qui ont conduit ces femmes là où elles sont allées. Plus qu'une simple présentation de témoignages, tout poignants soient-ils, Je vous salue? est une occasion privilégiée de les connaître.
Fostering Nation?
Fostering Nation? Canada Confronts Its History of Childhood Disadvantage explores the missteps and the promise of a century and more of child protection efforts by Canadians and their governments. It is the first volume to offer a comprehensive history of what life has meant for North America’s most disadvantaged Aboriginal and newcomer girls and boys. Gender, class, race, and (dis)ability are always important factors that bear on youngsters’ access to resources.

Birth and foster parents of disadvantaged youngsters are rarely in full c...

Family Matters
Family Matters provides an inclusive picture of the variety of family life and family forms in Canada. The work rejects the vision of family history that, in focussing on the traditional, two-parent, heterosexual, Anglo-Saxon family, implicitly denies families that do not fit this paradigm as "other" or even "illegitimate." Family Matters includes material about the varied familial experience of our ethnically, culturally, and religiously diverse nation.
Speaking in Queer Tongues
Language is a fundamental tool for shaping identity and community, including the expression (or repression) of sexual desire. Speaking in Queer Tongues investigates the tensions and adaptations that occur when processes of globalization bring one system of gay or lesbian language into contact with another. Western constructions of gay culture are now circulating widely beyond the boundaries of Western nations due to influences as diverse as Internet communication, global dissemination of entertainment and other media, increased travel and tourism, migration, displacement, and transnational citizenship. The authority claimed by these constructions, and by the linguistic codes embedded in them...
