A sei mesi dall'uscita, Contro Ratzinger si arricchisce di un nuovo capitolo.

Getting It Wrong : How Canadians Forgot Their Past and Imperilled Confederation Paul Romney University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division, University of Toronto Press, Toronto, 1999

On a snowy November day in 1872, the premier of Ontario is speaking in his constituency, and he tells a story - the story of his people's long struggle for liberty ... With this vignette Paul Romney leads us onto a lost middle ground between conflicting visions of Canada's past. He reminds that both French and English Canadians once regarded Confederation as a compact of provinces and of peoples, designed to permit each partner to cultivate its own distinct society. In English Canada that original conception gave way to a nationalist myth, which alienated French Canadians by its celebration of nation-building and exaltation of federal power. English Canada's forgetting resulted in a "historic blunder" - patriation of the Canadian constitution without Quebec's consent. How did that happen? Romney presents the politics of nineteenth-century Ontario as a confrontation between two competing myths - one of resistance to subversion, and one of resistance to oppression. The latter sustained a long struggle for local autonomy, leading successively to colonial self-government, Confederation, and the entrenchment of provincial rights. It fitted well with the French-Canadian idea of Confederation. But immigration, industrialization and a growing sense of Canadian nationhood transmuted both myths into rival nationalisms - one liberal and anti-British, the other conservative and anti-American, but both of them centralist in orientation. Ranging across two centuries, this provocative book reveals Canadians in confrontation with the Americans, the British, and each other. It argues that prospects for Canadian unity must depend on recognizing Confederation's true complexity as a compact of peoples and provinces, and on reconciling English-Canadian and Quebecois understandings of Canada's past. Lively yet learned, Getting it Wrong is a history book that speaks to Canada's present condition.

Vulnerability and Violence: The Impact of Globalization Peadar Kirby Pluto Press, London, 2005

'vulnerability' Is Now A Key Term In Globalisation Studies. It Is Used To Describe How Globalisation Impacts On Individual Security, Local Communities And Even Global Flows Of Trade, Finance And Investment. Yet There Has Been Little Attempt To Interrogate The Term And What It Is Trying To Express About Globalisation. Peadar Kirby Examines What Is Really Meant By 'vulnerability' And Links It To New Forms Of Violence That Have Resulted From Decreased Security And Social Cohesion. He Argues That Vulnerability And Violence Are Characteristic Features Of A New World Order Dominated By Neoliberal Globalisation. Illustrating His Argument With A Wealth Of Examples Taken From All Over The World -- From The Sudden Collapse Of The Middle Class In Argentina To Increased Levels Of Poverty Internationally -- He Offers A Robust Theoretical Grounding That Will Be Of Use To Anyone Studying Vulnerability And Violence And Their Relation To Contemporary Globalisation. 1. Globalisation, Vulnerability And Violence -- 2. Risk's New Riskiness -- 3. Coping With Risk -- 4. The Political Economy Of Globalisation -- 5. Globalisation's Cultural Worlds -- 6.

Getting it Wrong - How Canadians Forgot Their Past and Imperilled Confederation Romney, Paul , 1945- University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division, 1999 jan 31

and Reconciliation Commission, has said, 'If you don't have some accepted history, the chances are you will not gel as a community.' This provocative book explains how divergent views of Canada's past have sown dissension between Québécois and other Canadians. Paul Romney reminds us that both French and English Canadians once regarded Confederation as a compact of provinces and peoples, designed to enable each partner to cultivate its own distinct society. With the rise of Canadian nationalism, English Canadians forsook this conception for a centralist myth, which alienated French Canadians by its celebration of nation building and exaltation of federal power. Romney explains how English Canada's forgetting of the original vision led to a 'historic blunder' -patriation of the Canadian constitution without Quebec's consent. Lively yet learned, Getting It Wrong speaks to Canada's present condition. By disclosing a lost middle ground between the Canadian nationalist and Quebec nationalist visions of Canada's history, it offers us a new way to share our past and thus, our future. 'If I have seen further,' wrote Isaac Newton, 'it is because I was standing on the shoulders of Giants.' Such an acknowledgment is obligatory in a book of this sort, where one is forced to dwell on the errors of earlier writers while taking their achievements for granted. Let me emphasize that disagreement does not signify disrespect. This book owes as much or more to what other historians have got right as to what they may have got wrong. The book is about political ideas, and I am especially indebted to the work of three historians whose achievement and example permeate it far beyond anything that endnotes can register. I refer to the writing of J.M.S. Careless on Upper Canadian politics, S.F. Wise on Ontario's political culture, and Ramsay Cook on Canadian political ideas and constitutional history. Other writings that I have found especially useful include Carl Berger's The Writing of Canadian History, A.I. Silver's The French-Canadian Idea of Confederation, Robert Vipond's Liberty and Community, and Doug Owram's The Government Generation. In a class of its own is that powerhouse of historical scholarship, The Dictionary of Canadian Biography. I owe a special debt of gratitude to Richard Risk for a decade and more of fascinating talk about the Canadian constitution and its scholars. Dick also criticized part of the manuscript. Others who graciously read part or all of it, charged with telling me where it didn't make sense or might be improved, are

Little Yellow House : Finding Community in a Changing Neighbourhood Carissa Halton; ProQuest (Firm) Gutteridge Books, an imprint of The University of Alberta Press, University of Alberta Press (eBOUND), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, 2018

"Ma'am, you sound like a very reasonable person. Can I advise you to just move?" A young family moves into a neighbourhood with a reputation for crime. As they make their home in one of the oldest parts of the city, Carissa Halton reflects on the changing view from her little yellow house. While others nervously examine the less than-stellar reputation of her surroundings, she heads out to meet her neighbours, and through them discovers the innate beauty in her community. Halton invites us to meet a cast of diverse characters including cat rescuers, tragic teens, art evangelists, and crime fighters, whose walks of life, though very different from her own, has led to them being the people in her neighbourhood. Threaded through this collection of essays are questions about the social and economic forces that shape and reshape our cities.
