A poignant memoir of a rough-and-tumble boyhood on the streets of Toronto’s Cabbagetown. When the Burke family left Ireland, in 1959, they thought they were leaving the trials and tribulations of the Dublin slums behind. Instead, Molly, Bill, and their nine children found the same poverty and hardship awaiting them in the east end of Toronto. For their sixth-born son, Terry, growing up in Cabbagetown was a daily struggle to survive. Whether it was the bullies on the street or the gangs in Regent Park, fights were an everyday occurrence. School should have been a refuge, but some of the priests and nuns were more terrifying than any street bully. The only escape for Terry was to find his way down into the Don Valley, where he could search the river for muskrat or imagine himself escaping on one of the freight trains, chucking north, up the valley floor. But a childhood in Cabbagetown didn’t seem to last very long. Forced into adulthood and driven from home in the wake of tragedy, Terry struggled to survive on his own and find a way back to his family. In this touching memoir, Terry Burke tells a poignant story of hunger, pain, love, and loss, and the enduring bonds of family.

The memoir of a radical mass-marketing entrepreneur, an autopsy of a super successful serial entrepreneur told with honesty and a wry sense of humour, revealing intimate details of his journey to massive wealth and the melt-down. This story spotlights essential life lessons for achieving happiness and fulfillment in business and in one's personal life.Ron Hume was genetically programmed to be an entrepreneur. He achieved success because he was able to identify unmet needs and his insights allowed him to build successful businesses. His career included Vice-President of McGraw Hill Canada where he turned a successful educational publisher into a highly innovative best-selling trade publisher. He then turned his entrepreneurial skills into building an empire of self-study publishing programs. At the pinnacle of his success over 5,000,000 individuals in the US and in Canada enrolled in his Successful Investing and Money Management program. He followed that up with other hugely successful self-study programs. He had offices and warehouses in Toronto, Los Angeles and Atlanta with over 200 employees. He then established North America's first mutual funds which were sold directly to consumers rather than through stock brokers and established financial institutions. Within 18 months, Hume Funds had over $250,000,000 in assets under administration!As The Hume Group of Companies grew, Ron lived life in the fast lane hanging out with leaders from the business world, renowned doctors and other professionals, and world famous artists. This life flamed out within a three-year when the stock market crashed and the internet transformed business practices.Ron' story is deeply personal. Readers will learn how the hubris resulting from a series of over-the-top successes exacerbated the agony he endured after losing the business empire he had built over a twenty year period. He then fell into a dark decade of reflection during which he analyzed the factors people need to a

Contested Spaces, Counter-narratives, and Culture from Below in Canada and Québec explores strategies for reading space and conflict in Canadian and Québécois literature and cultural performances, positing questions such as: how do these texts and performances produce and contest spatial practices? What are the roles of the nation, city, community, and individual subject in reproducing space, particularly in times of global hegemony and neocolonialism? And in what ways do marginalized individuals and communities represent, contest, or appropriate spaces through counter-narratives and expressions of culture from below? Focusing on discord rather than harmony and consensus, this collection disturbs the idealized space of Canadian multicultural pluralism to carry literary analysis and cultural studies into spaces often undetected and unforeseen - including flophouses and "slums," shantytowns and urban alleyways, underground spaces and peep shows, and inner-city urban parks as they are experienced by minorities and other marginalized groups. These essays are the products of sustained, high-level collaboration across French and English academic communities in Canada to facilitate theoretical exchange on the topic of space and contestation, uncover geographies of exclusion, and generate new spaces of hope in the spirit of pioneering works by Henri Lefebvre, Michel Foucault, Michel de Certeau, Doreen Massey, David Harvey, and other prominent theorists of space.

This sampling of the work of J.M.S. Careless in the area of Canadian historical studies was selected by the eminent scholar himself, and represents much of his finest work. The collection spans the years from 1940 to 1990 in the long and distinguished career of one of Canada’s best-known historians. In Careless’s own words, History is dated. Its very claim is that the past does not fade into nothing but continues to matter, whether or not the purely present-minded are able to recognize that basic fact. These essays cover the main lines of Careless’s career in Canadian scholarship. The collection is divided into four general subject areas each covering a main preoccupation in a distinguished career of over forty years. The first section concentrates on the earliest theme in his writing, George Brown and his times. The second centres on exploring various aspects of frontierism and metropolitanism in Canadian history. The third part deals with cities and regions focusing particularly on the West and nineteenth century Ontario. The final section picks up the threads of other themes including limited identities Canada and multiculturalism.
