Not a novel, but a quite vintage booklet on printmaking (obviously) I once picked up. Despite the ago of the book, the techniques shown for these art forms never get old.

Write up on poster: War Measures Act: During World War Two, the 22,000-strong Japanese-Canadian community of the Pacific coast was forcibly relocated due to racist fear. Houses, businesses, and fishing boats were seized by the government. Nearly 800 Japanese-Canadians were interned between 1939 and 1945. Vancouver's Pacific National Exhibition Grounds, where detainees were held in stalls intended for animals, was one of many detention sites. A full formal apology and compensation came half a century later in 1988, due to sustained public pressure and organizing by the community and supporters.
Immigration and Refugee Protection Act: Today, Muslims, Arabs and South Asians in Canada are the targets of racial profiling and racist immigration laws. As the borders of the nation-state become increasingly militarized, citizenship status becomes a means of discrimination by the state. In addition to the more than 200,000 people who live without status in Canada, and the approximately 10,000 people detained and deported every year by the Canadian state, give Muslim men continue to be detained indefinitely without charge or trial, held on Security Certificates. Four are currently under extreme house arrest and one remains in solitary confinement, despite a Supreme Court ruling that Security Certificates violate the Charter.
