A large number of refugees come to Canada every year, supporting the government's claims that they are encouraging of <> Nonetheless, the pervasiveness of racism and the paucity of research focused on the intersectional identity of Black refugee students raises several concerns, especially in light of the White savior myth that is embedded in a White society like Canada. Based on the ethic of hospitality, self-determination theory, and the tenets of critical race theory, this case study explored the hospitality of K-12 schools for Black refugee students in Manitoba. Through the voices of five students, this research demonstrates how students' needs for autonomy, relatedness, and competency were often threatened by racist (in)actions of teachers and classmates, thus negatively impacting their educational experience. Keywords: hospitality, self-determination, Black refugee students Un grand nombre de refugies arrivent au Canada chaque annee, ce qui appuie les declarations du gouvernement d'encourager la << diversite culturelle >>. Neanmoins, l'omnipresence du racisme et la rarete des recherches axees sur l'identite intersectionnelle des etudiants refugies noirs soulevent plusieurs preoccupations, en particulier a la lumiere du mythe du sauveur blanc ancre dans une societe blanche comme celle du Canada. Basee sur l'ethique de l'hospitalite, la theorie de l'autodetermination et les principes de la theorie critique de la race, cette etude de cas explore l'hospitalite d'ecoles de la maternelle a la 12e annee envers les eleves refugies noirs au Manitoba. A travers les voix de cinq etudiants, cet article demontre comment les besoins d'autonomie, d'appartenance et de competence des etudiants etaient souvent menaces par des (in)actions racistes d'enseignants et de camarades de classe, ce qui a eu un impact negatif sur leur experience educative.

Widowhood is an under-recognized, albeit significant, aspect of life all over the world. The scant literature on contemporary narratives of widowhood among women as a consequence of conflicts indicates that this aspect of lived experience is relatively underexplored. Although loss is integral to life in the Nagorno-Karabakh region in the South Caucasus, it has been overlooked because of the unsettled politics in the region. Since the end of the full-scale war in 1994, the self-declared, internationally unrecognized republic has been locked in a protracted conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. This longstanding conflict has had severe consequences for society in this region. Sporadic clashes along the border of Nagorno-Karabakh (3) are not a rare occurrence. Thus, for women married to soldiers, confronting death is not something rare in the everyday life of the region. The purpose of this article is to examine the everyday experiences, understanding and reworking of widowhood there. The article is intended to open up the hitherto neglected subject of widowhood as affected by violent fighting in this part of the world and to create awareness of the importance of the topic. Keywords: widowhood, patriarchy, Nagorno-Karabakh, Introduction Becoming a widow is completely contingent and leads to major changes in a woman's life. In many parts of the world, widows become victims of their circumstances due to [...]
