👁️‍🗨️ Yesterday’s shocking investigation by Martin Lukacs exposed a “fully-integrated intelligence sharing model,” between the RCMP, CSIS and the Toronto Police Service to surveil Palestine solidarity activists. This kind of overreach is not without precedent, and in our latest book Dennis Gruending delves into the history of RCMP dirty tricks through their informant Frank Hadesbeck. For decades, he informed not only upon communists, but also upon hundreds of other people who held progressive views. Hadesbeck’s “Watch Out” lists on behalf of the Security Service included labour activists, medical doctors, lawyers, university professors and students, journalists, Indigenous and progressive farm leaders, members of the clergy, and anyone involved in the peace and human rights movements.

⛓️Out Now: Abolish Social Work (As We Know It), edited by Craig Fortier, Edward Hon-Sing Wong and MJ Rwigema

Rejecting the practices and values encapsulated by professional social work as embedded in carceral and colonial systems, Abolish Social Work (As We Know It) moves us towards a social work framework guided by principles of mutual aid, accountability, and relationality led by Indigenous, Black, q***r/trans*, racialized, immigrant, disabled, poor and other communities for whom social work has inserted itself into their lives.

A link in the chain is broken, enabling the rest of the chain links to morph into organic shapes: flowers, mushrooms, clouds and birds in flight. Slide 2) Text: “Social movements are coalescing around the crucial work of struggling for abolitionist futures, based around the vital maxims of ‘care not cops,’ and ‘support not punishment.’ But what kind of care and support are we orienting toward? Abolish Social Work (As We Know It) helps to clarify these liberatory visions by engaging in the critical and careful work of assessing the carceral complicities at work in the ‘caring professions’ writ large. The authors provide both a trenchant critique of social work as it has historically evolved, and a transformative vision for what caring could mean.” –Robyn Maynard, author of Policing Black Lives and co-author of Rehearsals for Living.

We stand with the McGill students calling on their University to divest from weapons companies implicated in Israel’s assault on Gaza, and cut ties with Israeli universities that have enabled settler-colonial apartheid in Palestine. We also condemn McGill’s attempts to use the courts and police to brutalize their students and dismantle the encampment. As public institutions, universities should encourage open dialogue and not resort to repression on their so-called “private property.”

Given this context, we cannot participate in the FHSS . As the students have rightly pointed out, the theme for this year’s gathering is “Sustaining Shared Futures” and there can be no shared future at a university that invests in occupation and genocide. Our decision to stand with the students was easy. But the lost opportunity to meet with our readers and prospective writers from across the country is tough for an independent publisher like us. Please support our work and check out our extensive catalogue on a range of social justice topics, currently 20% off site-wide.

From important groups like Bash Back and Qu**rs Against Israeli Apartheid, to the No Pride in Policing Coalition and No Pride in Genocide, radical q***rs have been fighting pink-washing and homonationalism and struggling for a liberatory future for all.

Please join us on Thursday, June 6 for the Toronto launch of Abolish Social Work (As We Know It). This event will be taking place at the Workers' Action Centre and in partnership with Another Story Bookshop .

Abolish Social Work (As We Know It) responds to the timely and important call for police abolition by analyzing professional social work as one alternative commonly proposed as a ready-made solution to ending police brutality. Drawing on both historical analysis and lessons learned from decades of organizing abolitionist and decolonizing practices within the field and practice of social work (including social service, community organizing, and other helping fields), this book proposes both an abolitionist framework for social work practice and a transformative framework that calls for the dissolution and restructuring of social work as a profession.

🧑‍🎓 Out now, Higher Expectations: How to Survive Academia, Make it Better for Others, and Transform the University by Roberta Hawkins and Leslie Kern.

This book is a practical guide to navigating academia for people who want to improve their own day-to-day work lives and create better conditions for everyone. Universities are broken: they’re built on systems that are discriminatory, hierarchical, and individualistic. This hurts the people that work and learn in them and limits the potential for universities to contribute to a better world. But we can raise our expectations.

Designed for faculty, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and other scholars, ‘Higher Expectations’ delivers hope and practical actions you can take to start making change now on topics including: course design, conferencing, administration, research teams, managing workloads and more.

You can learn more at btlbooks.com or at a bookstore near you.

Slide 2) Text: “Can a book that pulls no punches on the reality of working conditions in higher education be hopeful, even optimistic? Yes. By sharing examples from a broad range of institutions and disciplines, Hawkins and Kern demonstrate that transformation is not only possible but already underway. This generous book is a rallying cry for a better academia for all.” Jennifer Polk, From PhD to Life. Slide 3) Text: “Higher Expectations offers both a manifesto of visionary change and a practical guide towards that change. Most universities are structured to valorize and embed individual pursuit, privilege, and competition for ever-scarce resources. This is not a natural or inevitable model—it is a distinctly constructed model, and thus, as Hawkins and Kern reveal, open to deconstruction and, importantly, reconstruction.” Joni Seager, distinguished professor in Arts and Sciences, Bentley University and dean emerita, York University.]

Out now 🌎 Ecology for the 99%: Twenty Capitalist Myths Debunked
by Frédéric Legault, Arnaud Theurillat-Cloutier and Alain Savard, Illustrated by Clément de Gaulejac, Translated by Charles Simard.

If everyone—from Emmanuel Macron to Jeff Bezos, and even Coca Cola—is green, why is the environmental crisis growing at an alarmingly rapid rate? The world is already experiencing the impact of the climate crisis, but we are not equally responsible for its violent effects. Some of those who claim to be helping the planet are actually making things worse. To avoid being duped by false allies and to create an ecology for the 99%, we must discuss a radical topic: the exit from capitalism.

[Image Description ID: 4 slides share a green diagonal striped background. Slide 1) Image of the book cover which features an illustration of a capitalist smoking a big cigar emanating a huge cloud of billowing smoke. The capitalist asks: “Does the smoke bother you?” Slide 2) Text: “Ecology for the 99% is a wonderful introduction to the burning issues raised by the ecological crisis and climate change. In clear wording and with precise arguments, it dispels myths and illusions propagated by the conformist media and points to the urgent need to get rid of the system responsible for the crisis: capitalism.” —Michael Löwy, author of Ecosocialism: A Radical Alternative to Capitalist Catastrophe. Slide 3) Text: “Finally, an eminently accessible introduction to the climate crisis that uses Marxist concepts to expose the capitalist system at the root of the emergency. This is the book we all need to navigate the onslaught of business-as-usual green policies being promoted by the economic and political elite.” —Emily Eaton, professor, University of Regina; co-author of The End of This World: Climate Justice in So-Called Canada.

Remembering Peter Steven

Between the Lines lost one of our stalwart longtime members on December 23, 2023. Peter Steven was a big part of the film distribution wing of one of BTL’s parent organizations—The Development Education Centre (DEC)—and then was BTL’s sales and marketing manager and editorial board co-director from 1998 until 2005 before becoming a full-time professor of film studies at Sheridan College in 2009. During his time at BTL, Peter was in many ways the public face of our outfit at booktables, fairs, and conferences. He organized some memorable book launches, and was an author in his own right.
