Free Black woman, poet, novelist, essayist, speaker, and activist, Frances Watkins Harper was one of the nineteenth century’s most important advocates of Abolitionism and female suffrage, and her pioneering work still has profound lessons for us today. In this new book, Utz McKnight shows how Harper’s life and work inspired her contemporaries to imagine a better America. He seeks to recover her importance by examining not only her vision of the possibilities of Emancipation, but also her subsequent role in challenging Jim Crow. He argues that engaging with her ideas and writings is vital in understanding not only our historical inheritance, but also contemporary issues ranging from racial violence to the role of Christianity. This lucid book is essential reading not only for students of African American history, but also for all progressives interested in issues of race, politics, and society.

Not My Party: The Rise and Fall of Canadian Tories, from Robert Stanfield to Stephen Harper

Not My Party: The Rise and Fall of Canadian Tories, from Robert Stanfield to Stephen Harper

Tom McMillan

Nimbus Publishing (CN)
2016

This outspoken, timely book by former Mulroney Cabinet Minister Tom McMillan indicts Stephen Harper for destroying the historic Canadian Conservative Party while prime minister and party leader, accusing him of turning a force for progressive Canadian values into an American Republican -style vehicle for right--wing ideologues. Lamenting Harper's hyperpartisan "cult of personality" politics, McMillan argues the Conservative Party is no longer the enlightened national institution founded by Sir John A. Macdonald and nurtured by successive Tory leaders until the 2003 Reform/Canadian Alliance Party merger. In a crisp, conversational tone, McMillan contrasts this new brand of Conservatism with Robert Stanfield's 1960s/70s "politics of thoughtfulness," assessing the impact of Stanfield's legacy on successive Conservative leaders. He urges Conservative progressives to reclaim their party from right--wing extremists and revive its commitment to nation -building and national unity; to re-brand itself, once again, as Progressive Conservative. A fascinating political memoir from a long-time Conservative Party insider, Not My Party explores the evolution-or devolution-of Canada's Conservative Party, how back-room party politics operates, and political leaders succeed or fail.
