Where are you from? Where is your home? Do you miss home? These are questions that Efa E. Etoroma—born in Nigeria—has frequently been asked since moving to Canada in 1978. In this autoethnography, the Concordia University of Edmonton professor examines his views on what home really is and his struggles to feel a true sense of belonging anywhere he has lived. Explained with candor and occasional vulnerability, Home: Reflections on Marginality and Belonging is told from the perspective of a marginalized Black, Christian immigrant, but his story is relatable to anyone who has felt alienated or had a crisis of identity. Efa shares his personal experiences of growing up in post-colonial north...
Mental Health, Gender, and the Rise of Sport
Mental Health, Gender, and the Rise of Sport explores the historical role of sport in the prescription for mental and physical health through the epidemic of neurasthenia, a debilitating neurological disorder that afflicted American society throughout the latter nineteenth century. Gerald R. Gems argues that the practice of sport and sport spectatorship, which grew concomitantly with the onset and spread of neurasthenia, provided both a physical preventative and a psychological escape to redress the perceived causes of the epidemic. Sports such as baseball, boxing, cycling, and football offered psychological relief from the stresses of a rapidly changing economic and social order. Cycling, in particular, provided women with the means to challenge the prescribed gender order of female domesticity, male hegemony, and the dictates of physically restrictive fashion. In the process, sport became a key component in the rise of feminism and a prescription for the epidemics that followed over the course of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

If Katy Cross can’t clear an innocent mother of a crime she didn’t commit, Christmas will be canceled for one special little boy. Skeeterville’s annual Christmas in the Park nativity scene is the holiday event of the season, but things turn more murderous than merry when a stranger is found face down in the straw, fatally stabbed with a broken shepherd’s staff. The only evidence points to the victim’s battered wife. With nothing else to go on—the sheriff makes the arrest, leaving the woman’s little boy homeless—right as the Christmas festivities kick off. Nothing about the dilemma makes sense, and Katy Cross realizes it is up to her to find the real killer before the holiday is completely ruined. Join Katy, along with her best friend Misty, and husband John, as they attempt to solve this Christmas crime before Skeeterville’s favorite celebration is brought to a screeching halt, leaving the town anything but merry and bright. As always, this Christian cozy mystery is free of sex, gore and foul language and full of fun, small town holiday spirit.
