Omar Khadr, Oh Canada
In Spring 2012, MQUP will release Omar Khadr, Oh Canada where over 30 contributors analyze Khadr’s background, his continued incarceration, the passivity of Canadian authorities, and the implications raised by his case. The book includes essays, articles, poems, and other texts produced by such distinguished figures as General Roméo Dallaire, Charles Foran, Kim Echlin, George Elliott Clarke, Maher Arar, Rick Salutin, and Shadia Drury. While they sometimes disagree on issues such as radical Islam and Canadian multiculturalism, they all write from the conviction that Khadr’s treatment has been – and continues to be – shameful and unjust. –Source. –About the book.
