Since this event, protestors have taken to the streets to bring attention to police brutality, systemic racism, and racial injustice faced by Black and Indigenous people and people of colour in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and some European countries. In many of these protests, outraged citizens have torn down, toppled, or defaced monuments of well-known historic figures associated with colonialism, slavery, racism, and imperialism. Protestors have been demanding the removal of statues and monuments that symbolize slavery, colonial power, and systemic and historical racism. What makes these monuments problematic and what drives these deliberate and spectacular acts of defiance against these omnipresent monuments? Featuring an inte...

Described as Canada’s best-known manifestation of anti-Black racism, students occupied the Sir George Williams University in protest of alleged racism toward Black and Caribbean students. While much has been written about this watershed affair, the distinct experiences of women have not received much attention. However, community narratives suggest that women played important active roles. What were women’s experiences of this protest, and how did their participation shape the legacy of the event? Featuring an interview with Brenda Dash, dubbed “a ringleader” of the affair, this article explores a frontline view of this episode in 1960s student activism. Dash offers an in-depth perspective on her participation in the affair, her arrest, and the trial. This interview lays the groundwork for locating this protest within the broader ideological struggles of the civil rights, Black Power, and social justic...

The article revisits the curating process through critical, decolonial and resistive approaches and allows a rare glimpse into the archival records related to the 1969 event, Canada’s most notorious student uprisings, when students took over the seventh-floor faculty lounge and ninth-floor computer centre to protest anti-Black racism in the classroom at Sir George Williams University. By revisiting these events fifty years later, the exhibition asked, What do these archival materials say to us today? The exhibition challenged existing cliched accounts of the affair through deliberate practices of subversion. In exchange, it highlighted lesser-known narratives, through images, sounds, newspaper accounts, official documents and oral testimonies that offer alternative curating methodologies that brings the...

Nelson and her colleagues — a group of established and up-and-coming artists, scholars, and cultural critics — argue for an African Canadian Art History that can simultaneously examine the artistic contributions of black Canadian artists within their unique historical contexts, critique the colonial representation of black subjects by white artists, and contest the customary racial homogeneity of Canadian Art History." -- Publisher's website

Panache was a trail blazer in developing a fashion magazine format for world majority women where an alternative space was deliberately created for imagining beautiful images for a major demographic that established magazines had virtually ignored. Importantly, the text traces a legacy of 'otherness' around the notion of the “savage” woman and locates contemporary media practice as central in the trans-historical reproduction of colonial knowledges of difference. It analyses how Panache magazine conducted its kind of resistance within the confining boundaries of this most unexpected genre - the women's magazine. This study re-visits the process through which Panache magazine produced its representational practice. There are many lessons to be gleaned from Pan...

Through both overt and subtle narratives, representations of women as “different,” “distant” and “other” construct both the object and subject of development. The paper discusses the process by which racialization operates in development through gender as a signifying practice. Based on a doctoral study of communication materials of Women in Development (WID) images produced by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), the paper analyses images of women of the developing world in communication materials attached to major campaigns during the Women in Development (WID) period. WID represents an important legacy of today’s prevalent images of women in development. The paper situates this legacy within the colonial roots of development and its representations, which include...

It is demonstrated that the most appropriate algorithm of diagnosis before surgery is the combination of US with endoscopic US and angiography. Intraoperative diagnosis must be performed with intraoperative US and endoscopic transillumination. Authors demonstrate positive results of staged surgical treatment of MEN-1 syndrome. Malignant NET with distant metastases is not contraindication for surgical treatment. This situation is indication either for radical surgery with excision of all metastases or for cytoreductive surgery with subsequent chemoembolization and chemotherapy.
