January-February 2009 Issue now online!

Posted by Graham F. Scott at 02:29 PM ET

Our January-February 2009 issue is now online for your reading pleasure. I'll be highlighting a few items on the blog over the next week or so, but you can skip ahead and read the whole thing now.

In the cover story, "The Case for All-Black Schools," Andrew Wallace digs through the troubled history of Africentric schools. As Toronto prepares to open a new black-focused school in September, we survey the arguments for, and against, the controversial idea and uncover an all-but-forgotten educational experiment that could be a sign of hope — or a cautionary tale.

Also in this issue, Jennifer O'Connor uncovers hundreds of sexual assault cases that are being swept under the rug by Canadian police departments every year; Ashley Walters goes inside the Canadian Military Journalism Course to experience the fraught relationship between reporters and the Canadian Forces; Mark MacKinnon warns that Ukraine may be in Russia's crosshairs; Jason Anderson compares the homegrown-movie-going habits of English and French Canada; and Tim McSorley writes about Socially Acceptable Acts of Terrorism.

PLUS: Bloggers behind bars; Men's rights; Stephen Harper's book club; History funnies; and the sex life of George and Laura Bush.

To get all of this delivered conveniently to your mailbox, and to reduce your risk of finger strain brought on by excessive clicking, you could always subscribe to the magazine for the bargain price of $24.99. (Hint: lock in now before the subscription price goes up in the spring!)

Or if you'd like to continue enjoying all the best in progressive news, views, arts, and culture on our website — and without the dead trees — may we suggest a small tax-deductible donation instead? This Magazine relies on the generosity of donors to help support the kind of fiercely independent journalism that commercial (and mostly ad-supported) magazines often simply can't do. We don't charge for anything on our website, but every little bit you choose to donate will help us continue to support independent journalism that matters.
