"Moving the museum : indigenous & Canadian Art at the AGO documents the reopening of the J.S. McLean Centre for Indigenous & Canadian Art with a renewed focus on the AGO's Indigenous art collection. The volume reflects the nation to nation treaty relationship that is the foundation of Canada, asking questions, discovering truths, and leading conversations that address the weight of history. Lavishly illustrated with more than 100 reproductions, Indigenous & Canadian Art at the AGO features the work of First Nations artists--including Carl Beam, Rebecca Belmore, and Kent Monkman--along with work by Inuit artists like Shuvinai Ashoona and Annie Pootoogook. Canadian artists include Lawren Harris, Kazuo Nakamura, Joyce Wieland, and many others. Drawing from stories about our origins and identities, the featured artists and essayists invite readers to engage with issues of land, water, transformation, and sovereignty and to contemplate the historic representation of Indigenous and Canadian art in museums. Contains a list of works at the back."--

Chronicled in this selection of his writings, are Chandrashekhar Agashe's notices, letters, missives, and memoranda showcasing his tactful defences of his business, his daring challenges to his detractors, his witty rebuttals to his critics, and his humble gratitude to his supporters, as published in The Kesari, during the tumultuous years he and his business faced between 1950 and 1956.

For thousands of years India's Dalits were abhorred as "untouchables," denied education and treated as bonded labour. By 1923 Bhimrao Ambedkar broke the taboo, won doctorates abroad and fought for the emancipation of his people. He drafted India's Constitution, led his followers to discard Hinduism for Buddhism. His legend still spreads through poetry and song. In 1997 a statue of Dr. Ambedkar in a Dalit colony in Mumbai was desecrated with footwear. As angry residents gathered, police opened fire killing 10. Vilas Ghogre, a leftist poet, hung himself in protest. Jai Bhim Comrade shot over 14 years, follows the poetry and music of people like Vilas and marks a subaltern tradition of reason that, from the days of the Buddha, has fought superstition and religious bigotry

"En face d'un événement extraordinaire qui provoque l'étonnement, un Occidental dit : "qu'est-ce que c'est ?", et un Luba : "qui fait cela ?". Quand quelqu'un fait une chute, un Occidental dit : "Je suis tombé", tandis qu'un Luba dit : "On m'a jeté par terre". Derrière un événement, il n'y a pas de cause impersonnelle mais une intention personnelle. Cette idée est l'une des caractéristiques de la foi en la sorcellerie en milieu luba. La résurgence de la croyance en la sorcellerie ces dernières décennies, aussi bien en RDC qu'ailleurs en Afrique, exige une réflexion critique qui, démasquant l'obscurantisme entourant ce phénomène, libère l'homme africain de cette emprise. Postulant que le Buloji-Mupongo, ou la sorcellerie en milieu luba, suppose l'utilisation des connaissances de la nature et de ses potentialités, et aussi le déploiement d'une activité invisible basée sur une conception spéciale de l'être, cet essai offre les jalons d'une véritable déconstruction de la croyance en la sorcellerie."--Page 4 of cover

"Members of Eli Baxter's generation are the last of the hunting and gathering societies living on Turtle Island. They are also among the last fluent speakers of the Anishinaabay language known as Anishinaabaymowin. Aki-wayn-zih is a story about the land and its spiritual relationship with the Anishinaabayg, from the beginning of their life on Miss-koh-tay-sih Minis (Turtle Island) to the present day. Baxter writes about Anishinaabay life before European contact, his childhood memories of trapping, hunting, and fishing with his family on traditional lands in Treaty 9 territory, and his personal experience surviving the residential school system. Examining how Anishinaabay Kih-kayn-daa-soh-win (knowledge) is an elemental concept embedded in the Anishinaabay language, Aki-wayn-zih explores history, science, math, education, philosophy, law, and spiritual teachings, outlining the cultural significance of language to Anishinaabay identity. Recounting traditional Ojibway legends in their original language, fables in which moral virtues double as survival techniques, and detailed guidelines for expertly trapping or ensnaring animals, Baxter reveals how the residential school system shaped him as an individual, transformed his family, and forever disrupted his reserve community and those like it. Through spiritual teachings, historical accounts, and autobiographical anecdotes, Aki-wayn-zih offers a new form of storytelling from the Anishinaabay point of view."--
