Based on Davey's eponymous 2019 film, \u003ci\u003eI Confess\u003c\/i\u003e unites three main sources in a chronicle of late 20th-century Quebec, shaped by themes of race, poverty, language and nationalism. Using American writer James Baldwin's 1962 novel \u003ci\u003eAnother Country\u003c\/i\u003e as its point of departure, Davey's film also focuses on the life and work of Qu�b�cois revolutionary Pierre Valli�res and Ottawa-based political philosopher Dalie Giroux. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished to accompany the exhibition \u003ci\u003eMoyra Davey: The Faithful\u003c\/i\u003e at the National Gallery of Canada, this deeply personal and highly political book seeks to examine an unresolved chapter of Qu�b�cois history from a uniquely interdisciplinary perspective that draws attention to contemporary issues of separatism, while reflecting the artist's understanding of photography and text as unique corollaries. This publication features writings by the artist, Dalie Giroux and National Gallery of Canada's Associate Curator Andrea Kunard, and a poster insert.","brand":"Dancing Foxes Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46289723162775,"sku":"9780888849960","price":2916.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780888849960.webp?v=1767700476","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/moyra-davey-i-confess-9780888849960","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
