Indigiqueerness
Evolving from a conversation between Joshua Whitehead and Angie Abdou, Indigiqueerness is part dialogue, part collage, and part memoir. Beginning with memories of his childhood poetry and prose and travelling through the library of his life, Whitehead contemplates the role of theory, Indigenous language, queerness, and fantastical worlds in all his artistic pursuits. This volume is imbued with Whitehead’s energy and celebrates Indigenous writers and creators who defy expectations and transcend genres.
Winner, 2023 Society for Socialist Studies’ Errol Sharpe Book Prize
"Truth Behind Bars"
From the jury: “An indispensable non-revential return to debates about the Russian Revolution and its aftermath. Kellogg’s argument ranges even farther, however, as a reflection on a political ethic grounded in this non-revential approach to history: one that acknowledges the profound impact of means on ends, the need to reckon with revolutionary politics without any alibis.”
Winner, 2023 Independent Publisher Awards: Best Regional Non-Fiction
Under the Nakba Tree
“More than simply a Muslim Canadian or Palestinian diasporic memoir, Househ’s biography is a quintessentially Canadian story that breathes life into the grand narrative of the nation. His moving prose provides a lucid guide through the turbulence of the last twenty years—from the 9/11 terror attacks to tumult in Palestine—harmonizing aspects of modern history often viewed as isolated and separate. The result is a masterful retelling of a modern history lost between the cracks.” —Khaled A. Beydoun, author of American Islamophobia: Understanding the Roots and Rise of Fear
