Book Description
BIGGER DREAMS: A Two Act Play about Deaf Politician Gary Malkowski is the theatrical adaptation of Richard Medugno's own 300+ page biography, DEAF POLITICIAN: The Gary Malkowski Story. The play opens with the discovery of young Gary's deafness and follows his struggles with his hearing family and to become educated. The drama builds as Gary experiences a rebirth as a proud Deaf individual while attending Gallaudet University, climaxing with his return to Canada and historic election to the province of Ontario's parliament. Mr. Malkowski's story is dramatic, engaging and an inspiring testimony that deaf people "can do anything but hear." BIGGER DREAMS has thirty-two roles for actors who are deaf; actors who are hearing and know sign language; and hearing actors who do not know sign language. As a performance piece, BIGGER DREAMS is an exciting full-length play filled with equal portions of humor and heartbreak. The playwright includes notes on successfully staging and casting the show. As a piece of literature, BIGGER DREAMS is ideal for scene study and can be read "aloud" in a classroom setting for Deaf Studies, English or Theatre courses. The script format makes Malkowski's amazing life accessible, memorable and fun for Deaf and sign language students; members of the Deaf Community; parents and teacher of the deaf; and anyone who is interested in disability role models or exhilarating true stories.

Book Description
Solitary Courage is the story of a mother’s tough-love determination, her severely disabled daughter’s astonishing triumphs, and a documentary record of the political battles, organizational conflicts, and human struggles that citizens with disabilities face and fight every day of their lives. Mona Winberg became a pioneer of independent living, and emerged a leading advocate for citizens with mental and physical disabilities. Her courageous causes erupted from her deep reservoir of compassion and concern. Her unflinching challenges to the status quo expressed both optimism and realism about life and society. Her life is testament to the power of Solitary Courage. Between 1986 and 1999 she was the only newspaper columnist in North America regularly writing about disability issues. Through her award-winning column "Disabled Today" in Toronto’s Sunday Sun, Mona Winberg painstakingly built up a body of work of more than 600 articles chronicling front-line battles for equality. She was a realist, a wise person with a no-nonsense approach, kindly, but clear-eyed. Solitary Courage begins with the story of Mona Winberg’s life, followed by a representative selection of 156 of her columns organized into 20 thematic chapters, the best of Mona in her own words. The last part of the book reflects upon Mona Winberg’s legacy of lessons that still connect to programs and policies touching the lives of Canadians with disabilities today. The subjects are wide-ranging and engaging because Mona used personal examples of individuals with disabilities and news-making issues raised by their plight. She also reported on the street-level outcomes of government policies. This variety and approach to disability issues provides real education and genuine human interest, whatever a reader’s background or experience.

Book Description
The Politics of Visual Language is a ground-breaking study of the political socialization of children who are deaf. Debate has raged for years over how to educate the prelingually deaf - those children who cannot acquire language "normally" (that is, orally and aurally). While the battlelines have been drawn by the proponents of oralism versus manualism and their hearing supporters, two linguistic dilemmas facing D/deaf people remain constant: a conscious choice is always made for them as to the way they will be taught, and either method of language acquisition results in a form of marginalization.

Book Description
The Paradox of Parliament provides a comprehensive analysis of all aspects of Parliament in order to explain the paradoxical expectations placed on the institution. The book argues that Parliament labours under two different "logics" of its purpose and primary role: one based on governance and decision-making and one based on representation and voice. This produces a paradox that is common to many legislatures, but Canada and Canadians particularly struggle to recognize and reconcile the competing logics. In The Paradox of Parliament, Jonathan Malloy discusses the major aspects of Parliament through the lens of these two competing logics to explain the ongoing dissatisfaction with Parliament and perennial calls for parliamentary reform. It focuses on overarching analytical themes rather than exhaustive description. It centres people over procedure and theory, with strong emphasis given to dimensions of gender, race, and additional forms of diversity. Arguing for a holistic and realistic understanding of Parliament that recognizes and accepts that Parliament evolves and adapts, The Paradox of Parliament puts forward an important and novel interpretation of the many facets of Parliament in Canada.
