TURKEY AND THE ARMENIAN GHOST: On the Trail of the Genocide By Laure Marchand and Guillaume Perrier, Translated by Deborah Blythe
A compelling portrait of the aftermath of the Armenian genocide and the enduring struggle to have it officially recognized.
In this translation of the award-winning La Turquie et le fantôme arménien, Laure Marchand and Guillaume Perrier visit historic sites and interview politicians, elderly survivors, descendants, authors, and activists in a quest for the hidden truth. Arguing that this giant cover-up has had consequences for Turks as well as for Armenians, the authors point to a society sickened by a century of denial.

A COMPLEX FATE: William L. Shirer and the American Century by Ken Cuthbertson, with a foreword by Morley Safer
The first biography of one of the most provocative and influential American journalists and historians of the twentieth century.
William Shirer (1904-1993), a star foreign correspondent with the Chicago Tribune in the 1920s and ’30s, was a prominent member of what one contemporary observer described as an extraordinary band of American journalists, “some with the Midwest hayseed still in their hair,” who gave their North American audiences a visceral sense of how Europe was spiralling into chaos and war.

SEEKING OUR EDEN: The Dreams and Migrations of Sarah Jameson Craig by Joanne Findon
One woman’s dreams of establishing a utopian colony and her fight for women’s equality.
Although few nineteenth-century rural Canadian women could read and write well, Sarah Jameson Craig (1840-1919) was not only literate but eloquent. Quoting liberally from her unpublished diaries and memoir, Findon sets Craig’s life writing within the context of her early days in New Brunswick, as well as the American-based reform and utopian movements that stirred her imagination.

As climate change, economic recession, war, and mass migration destabilize the world and create a less certain future, notions of home and shelter loom large.
