{"product_id":"firewater-harold-johnson-9780889774377","title":"Firewater: How Alcohol Is Killing My People (and Yours)","description":"A passionate call to action, Firewater examines alcohol─its history, the myths surrounding it, and its devasting impact on Indigenous people. Drawing on his years of experience as a Crown Prosecutor in Treaty 6 territory, Harold Johnson challenges readers to change the story we tell ourselves about the drink that goes by many names─booze, hooch, spirits, sauce, and the evocative \"firewater.\" Confronting the harmful stereotype of the \"lazy, drunken Indian,\" and rejecting medical, social and psychological explanations of the roots of alcoholism, Johnson cries out for solutions, not diagnoses, and shows how alcoholism continues to kill so many. Provocative, irreverent, and keenly aware of the power of stories, Firewater calls for people to make decisions about their communities and their lives on their own terms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harold Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0889774374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780889774377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Regina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 5.00w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/13\/2017","brand":"Harold Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051702874367,"sku":"9780889774377","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2382368d-8229-4745-95eb-78893aac40b7.jpg?v=1685014673","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/firewater-harold-johnson-9780889774377","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
