In 2008, the Canadian government established a Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) to review the history of the residential school system, a brutal colonial project that killed and injured many Indigenous children and left a legacy of trauma and pain. In Fragments of Truth Naomi Angel analyzes the visual culture of reconciliation and memory in relation to this complex and painful history. In her analyses of archival photographs from the residential school system, representations of the schools in popular media and literature, and testimonies from TRC proceedings, Angel traces how the TRC served as a mechanism through which memory, trauma, and visuality became apparent. She shows how many Indigenous communities were able to use the TRC process as a way to claim agency over their memories of the schools. Bringing to light the ongoing costs of transforming settler states into modern nations, Angel demonstrates how the TRC offers a unique optic through which to survey the long history of colonial oppression of Canada’s Indigenous populations.

An ancient prediction will rock the modern world... But is the world ready for what the texts have to say?

The word occult may imply witchcraft or magic, but in fact, simply deals in what is hidden or secret, including the hidden truths of the spiritual realm. Fragments of Truth (originally published in 1921) is a collection of articles and essays written by New Thought pioneers and spiritual explorers Richard and Isabella Ingalese. Ranging in topics from the physio/psycho-science of vibrations to freeing the soul to Jesus Christ, each author proves him- or herself a poetic courier of metaphysical intelligence, delivering the divine secrets that are the keys to gaining a fulfilling life, a higher mind, and a deeper soul. American lawyer RICHARD INGALESE (b. 1854) and his wife, psychic and healer ISABELLA INGALESE (b. 1863) were self-taught alchemists and proponents of New Thought. The pair, who claimed to have confected the true Philosopher's Stone, which confers immortality and turns common metals into gold, disappeared in the early 20th century. Before their disappearance, they authored several articles and books, including History and Power of Mind (1902), Astrology and Health (1927), and Cosmogony and Evolution (1907).

This volume contains a new translation, with a historical introduction by the translators, of two works written under the pseudonym Johannes Climacus. Through Climacus, Kierkegaard contrasts the paradoxes of Christianity with Greek and modern philosophical thinking. In Philosophical Fragments he begins with Greek Platonic philosophy, exploring the implications of venturing beyond the Socratic understanding of truth acquired through recollection to the Christian experience of acquiring truth through grace. Published in 1844 and not originally planned to appear under the pseudonym Climacus, the book varies in tone and substance from the other works so attributed, but it is dialectically related to them, as well as to the other pseudonymous writings. The central issue of Johannes Climacus is doubt. Probably written between November 1842 and April 1843 but unfinished and published only posthumously, this book was described by Kierkegaard as an attack on modern speculative philosophy by "means of the melancholy irony, which did not consist in any single utterance on the part of Johannes Climacus but in his whole life. . . . Johannes does what we are told to do--he actually doubts everything--he suffers through all the pain of doing that, becomes cunning, almost acquires a bad conscience. When he has gone as far in that direction as he can go and wants to come back, he cannot do so. . . . Now he despairs, his life is wasted, his youth is spent in these deliberations. Life does not acquire any meaning for him, and all this is the fault of philosophy." A note by Kierkegaard suggests how he might have finished the work: "Doubt is conquered not by the system but by faith, just as it is faith that has brought doubt into the world!."
