Between the Lines, Who Published TESTIMONIO, Celebrates 45 years!
[link removed]
Rights Action gives thanks to the "group of leftist activists from Toronto and an anarchist printing collective from Kitchener-Waterloo [who] came together to found Between the Lines" in 1977, and to those who keep BTL going strong.

It is hard to overstate how important it is to keep on publishing voices, analysis and reporting that dissect, expose and challenge mainstream status quo / establishment narratives.

Thank-you BTL ...

Between The Lines:
"On October 26, 1977, a group of leftist activists from Toronto and an anarchist printing collective from Kitchener-Waterloo came together to found Between the Lines. Filled with the independent spirit of 1960s New Left radicalism, the collective formed BTL with the mission of inspiring social change through the powers of bookdom. With an intense commitment to horizontal decision-making, these first volunteer workers of BTL founded the publishing house as a collective: with no managers, no owners, no bosses. And we’ve been making ‘books without bosses’ ever since!...

"To commemorate these past four and a half decades of publishing radical left non-fiction, we’ve taken a look back at some of our earliest publications and paired them with recent books."

"BTL’s first book was The Big Nickel: Inco at home and abroad by Jamie Swift and the Development Education Centre – a detailed exposé of INCO, a Canadian mining company based in Sudbury and the world's leading producer of nickel for much of the 20th century. The book’s foreword was written by Dave Patterson, the President of Steelworkers Local 6500 at Inco, and the book was launched before 200 workers at the Steelworkers Union Centre in Sudbury.

Last year, BTL published Testimonio: Canadian Mining in the Aftermath of Genocides in Guatemala edited by Catherine Nolin and Grahame Russell, which investigates practices by INCO and other Canadian mining companies in Guatemala. This collaborative edited collection includes testimonies from Indigenous community leaders in Guatemala and calls on readers to hold the Canadian government accountable for Canada’s role in enabling and profiting from mining violence."
