"I applaud the editors’ decision to take the long-view and bring this history right up to the present time. One gets a strong sense here of the continuity in violence."- Steven High, Concordia University (Labour/Le Travail) "The contributors’ examples of violence are heart-rending, convincing, and extremely diverse."- James Naylor, Brandon University (Histoire sociale / Social History)
