Just released! A vital new collection for our times: challenging and redefining "South Asian-ness" in Canada and beyond.

This powerful new collection dives deep into what it means to be "South Asian" in Canada, a settler colonial society. It's a critical exploration by feminist academics and activists grappling with the complexities of identity, especially in relation to Indigenous Peoples and the broader struggles against colonialism.

The book asks crucial questions that push us all to think differently:

1. How can we move beyond mainstream, essentialist ideas of "South Asian" identity, especially when confronted by global trends like neo-liberalism, populism, and militarism?

2. What kind of activist-academic work is needed to disrupt the masculinist and heteronormative nationalisms that too often appear in how the South Asian diaspora represents itself in Canada?

3. How do we reimagine "South Asian-ness" to foster strong alliances with other equity-seeking groups, including Indigenous, Black, and q***r communities, rather than perpetuate competition?

This collection offers a transnational feminist perspective, dissecting how South Asian feminist politics can challenge exclusionary narratives in diasporic contexts in the Global North. It's an urgent and necessary read for anyone interested in decolonization, anti-racism, intersectional feminism, and building truly inclusive communities.

It's Alberta Book Day! Recognized each November, Alberta Book Day is an annual celebration of our local book publishing industry.

Alberta book publishers operate in communities both large and small throughout the province. They work with authors, editors, designers, printers, and other creative professionals to bring Alberta stories to life and amplify the unique cultural identity and heritage of our province to a much larger audience. Through their work, our province’s book publishers, all of which are Alberta-owned and -operated small businesses, create roughly 100 full-time jobs and nearly $6 million in wages and salaries, contributing over $14 million annually to the provincial economy.

“Alberta Book Day is an opportunity to reflect on the persistence, resilience, and commitment of local book publishers in telling our province’s stories,” said Megan Bishop, Executive Director of the BPAA. “It is essential to invest in and support the Alberta book publishing industry to ensure that stories that reflect our regional voices, themes, and landscapes remain available to readers and learners of all ages.”

The members of the Book Publishers Association of Alberta (BPAA) wish to thank the Alberta Government and Minister Tanya Fir for declaring November 3, 2025, as the eighth annual Alberta Book Day.
