Terrorism and the Press: An Uneasy Relationship (Mediating American History)
Many books have been written about the press and terrorism – particularly since September 11th – but this is the first press-focused exploration of their relationship. Drawing upon the history of terrorism, mass communication research, media theory, and journalism practice, this book examines how the press reports terrorism, and how that reporting varies depending on the medium and location. Examining the differences in reporting – globally and historically within different media and government systems – Terrorism and the Press provides insights for how, in the future, we can better navigate the relationship between the press, government, and audience when terrorists attack.
Mommy, When Are We Going Home?
Mommy, When Are We Going Home? relates a longing to return to the place of one’s childhood. Responding to this yearning, at the age of forty, Crystle leaves Canada and her family to travel back to the rural India of her childhood.
There she discovers that the villagers have suffered greatly and she vows to make a difference. Crystle returns to Canada and immediately develops a number of sustainable social justice initiatives. However, she soon realizes that her Western mindset is colouring her decisions and that buying another buffalo or latrine will not solve the problems. In an effort to better understand the problems faced by the Dalits, she decides to return to the village in Northern Punjab for a six-month stay.
Living in a mud house without running water or electricity, Crystle learns to deal with limited privacy and being a solo white woman traveller. With laughter and tears, she copes with cultural gaffes and travel mishaps, all the while volunteering in a local school and building her education scholarship program.
But she faces heartbreaking challenges from the Indian family that she and her mother have supported for nearly forty years and, after a followup visit in 2009, Crystle leaves disheartened . . . but not disillusioned.

Five Little Bitches
Fiction. FIVE LITTLE BITCHES chronicles the intertwining lives of five young women, each of whom is plagued by her own unique demons, and all of whom are devoted to music, the punk-rock lifestyle, and an underground code of solidarity. The novel details each of the girls' personal histories alongside the rise and fall of their band, Wet Leather. As the band progresses, the girls tour Canadian, American and European small towns and big cities, and all the alleys, gutters, back stages, vans, hotel rooms, highways and airways in between. At its heart, FIVE LITTLE BITCHES asks whether alternative music and youth culture can be an effective mode of subversion and empowerment.
"One glance at this book and you It ain't Anne Tyler... FIVE LITTLE BITCHES is funny, outrageous, and startlingly authentic... and she delivers what any reader wants—a novel that is vibrantly alive, never dull."— Prairie Fire
"a raw, punk energy courses through its veins."— Georgia Straight
"...it captures the essence of a sub-culture... The design of the text is as bold as its uncensored language. Every page is coloured with the chaos of punk rock shows, volatile relationships, pain, joy and humour—and illustrated with gritty black lines, graffiti art, band posters, set lists and photos... These are flawed, real women who are unapologetic. But as much as the characters of FIVE LITTLE BITCHES appear hell-bent on being abrasive, this thoroughly modern feminist novel ultimately succeeds because it portrays human vulnerability."— BC BookWorld
Mutant Sex Party \u0026 Other Plays
Drama. Most of the plays in this collection were first produced by The Drilling Company in New York. In MUTANT SEX PARTY & OTHER PLAYS, Ed Macdonald eviscerates the high and mighty, the hypocritical, and those who abuse power in late-Capitalism America. He expertly peels back the tattered facade of corporate respectability and reveals the hypocrisy that is brokered and sold under the guise of "doing business" in America. These plays dig deep at the rot that lies at the base of a free-rein, unregulated, capitalist market system. As well as the title piece, the collection includes The Escape Artist , Erratica , Gemini , Smoke & Blood , Hot Meat and Titus Lucretius Carus .
"Ain't no party like a Mutant Sex Party 'cause a Mutant Sex Party don't stop! Okay—now that's out of my system. For the characters in these plays, however, nothing ever gets out of their system. They are all stuck, bottled up, locked in constant struggles of domination—legally, politically and sexually. That said, Macdonald is such a good writer that he makes you care about these characters... ancient Romans and Hipsters, Crazy Ladies and Cops—everyone's been invited to this MUTANT SEX PARTY, including you. Will you accept Macdonald's invitation?"—A.G.Pasquella, Broken Pencil
On the play Gemini :
"...a crisp and clear loony toon takes over an asylum to carry out his dreams of becoming a 'moderate fascist dictator'... an enjoyable and illuminating experience"— The Village Voice
"It's all a weighty, symbolic, lyrical tale of postmodern alienation, packaged in a hysterical tirade delivered by a crazy person. Kindly pass the dopamine... It's a hilarious trip to a brave new world..."—Leonard Jacob, Backstage
On the play MUTANT SEX
"The audience is constantly on the edge of their seats wondering, 'What's real? What's a fantasy?'... a complex and challenging play that is very political in nature. Don't let the title fool you; this is about mutant politics as much as sex. We are reminded that while lying and cheating are accepted in politics a blowjob can ruin a career... a dynamic roller coaster of a theatrical experience."—Karl Wilder, ONOFFOFF
