Fernwood Publishing is an independent Canadian publisher that publishes non-fiction books dealing with social justice and issues of social, political and economic importance. Fernwood was founded in 1991 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, publishing its first books in the spring of 1992. The Halifax office was moved to Black Point, Nova Scotia and, in 1994, a second office was opened in Winnipeg, Manitoba.〔(Profile - Association of Manitoba Book Publishers ) 〕 In eighteen seasons, Fernwood has published over 300 titles.〔fernwood Publishing, ("About-Us " )〕 In 2006, Fernwood acquired Roseway Publishing, which is now their fiction imprint. Fernwood offers an alternative Canadian perspective on issues that many major book publishers do not.〔Hillary Lindsay, ("Keeping a Body of Critical Literature Alive" ), ''Canadian Dimension Magazine'', May 2005〕 Founder and co-publisher Errol Sharpe has been quoted as saying, "In an era when the restructuring of capitalism seems to be threatening to erase many of the gains that have been made by the oppressed in society, we think that our books have a part to play in bucking the trend."〔 ==Notable releases== * Thom Workman, ''If you're in my way I'm walking: The assault on working people since 1970'' * Anthony Fenton and Yves Engler, ''Canada in Haiti: Waging War on the Poor Majority'' * ''Socialist Studies'' (series) * Annette Aurelie Desmarais, ''La Via Campesina: Globalization and the Power of Peasants'' * Anne Bishop, ''Becoming an Ally: Breaking the Cycle of Oppression in People'' * Sean Comish, ''The Westray Tragedy: A Miner's Story'' * Elizabeth Comack, ''Women in Trouble: Connecting Women’s Law Violation to their Histories of Abuse'' * Patricia Monture-Angus, ''Thunder in My Soul: A Mohawk Woman Speaks'' * Jim Silver, ''Thin Ice: Money, Politics and the Demise of an NHL Franchise'' * Barrie Anderson and Dawn Anderson, ''Manufacturing Guilt: Wrongful Convictions in Canada'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fernwood Publishing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
