Canadian events for Unsafe: The Carceral Roots of the Anti-Trans Backlash by @s.r.lamble!

The fiercest battles over gender today aren't just about identity or womanhood - but about punishment, fear, and control.
The twenty-first century "gender wars" have been driven by a powerful and seductive narrative: that safety can be secured through exclusion, surveillance, and the policing of difference. This punitive logic has gained momentum across the political spectrum, fuelling an anti-trans backlash and distorting the meaning of safety itself.

UNSAFE is a clear-eyed and decisive challenge to the toxic ideas at the heart of this backlash. With patient rigour, Lamble exposes how carceral approaches to safety fail to address root causes of harm, ultimately deepening social divisions and legitimising new forms of violence and control. by @pgcbooks

“Gaining Ground is a wonderful slow burn of a book and Barfoot’s originality and control remain exciting, nearly half a century on. It is great to see this reissue put the novel at the centre of things, where it belongs.” - Anne Enright, The Guardian

Originally published as 'Abra' in 1978 in Canada, @faberbooks are bringing back Joan Barfoot's remarkable debut novel back into print as Gaining Ground.

Available from PGC in Canada in September, Gaining Ground tells the story of a woman who abandons her home and her family in Toronto for a life alone in an isolated cabin in the Ontario woods. It is a provocative meditation on living on your own terms and what it costs to be wild, and free.

"One of the great novels of the twentieth century . . . Absolutely stunning' - Max Porter

"An intricately, perfectly mapped journey into self-liberation . . . It will stay with me for the rest of my days" - Samantha Harvey

"Wildly original . . . Beneath the radical disquiet is a beautiful hymn to the hearts and minds of women" - Sarah Hall
