How Europe Underdeveloped Africa

Studies in Private International Law - Asia

This book investigates the availability in Asian jurisdictions of civil remedies against multinational businesses for human rights abuses. Various means have been developed in Europe and elsewhere to hold businesses accountable to victims for human rights abuses. Techniques include legislating due diligence requirements for companies operating abroad, broadening court jurisdiction to include foreign companies having subsidiaries within a country, expanding international jurisdiction, promoting universal jurisdiction, and implementing international conventions and sanctions. On the 15th anniversary of the 2011 UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the book assesses whether the norms of the UN Guiding Principles have taken root in Asia, which has only had a mixed record for upholding human rights. The book first considers the international state of play in the field. It moves on to case studies of corporate governance and human rights in Asia (especially Japan, South Korea, India, Thailand, and the Philippines). It then examines emerging issues (environmental damage and climate change, crimes against humanity, and compliance programs and corporate criminal Responsibility), and considers how Asia has dealt and can deal with corporate responsibility in connection with those matters. By way of conclusion, the book offers an action plan for implementing the UN Guiding Principles in Asia.

Multinationals and Human Rights in Asia

"Inspired by the philosopher Graham Parkes, this collection provides a distinctive study of aesthetics and the climate crisis. Engaging with Continental European and East Asian traditions, it challenges our definition of self in the West and asks us to re-evaluate our conventional perspectives. Through a valuable and systematic treatment of the thought of Parkes, The Wandering Dance in the Philosophy of Graham Parkes makes the case that a restoration of the intimate relation of self and nature is indispensable in understanding our place in the order of things and achieving balance in the world"--

A Wandering Dance through the Philosophy of Graham Parkes

Offering a bold critique of the limitations of the reparations and land back movements, When We Are Kin envisions a Black and Indigenous future rooted in real solidarity, a future that exists beyond the confines of the liberal imagination. 
 
Current advocates of reparations for slavery and land back often fail to scrutinize racial capitalism and settler colonialism, instead accepting that their destinies will be forever tied to US empire. But as scholar Kyle T. Mays insists in When We Are Kin, we can and should demand a kind of repair that goes beyond a white supremacist idea of what justice can be. 
 
In a series of short essays, Mays traces the history of alliances between Black and Indigenous movements; outlines the limitations of certain demands for reparations, including cash payments, that do not fundamentally critique racial-settler capitalism; and interrogates contemporary land back initiatives that displace Black residents. Along the way, he asks, What does solidarity look like between Black and Indigenous peoples in the United States? Can we find ways to co-belong and co-resist on Turtle Island? 
 
Drawing on the Anishinaabe philosophy of mino-bimaadiziwin (the good life), Mays argues that we can resist as kin only when we center the land in building our collective futures.

This compact visual journey through Asia is unique and unusual.&nbsp;It explores all 35 countries in Asia between Turkey and Japan – by following 16 colors! The myriad images in this book are delightfully arranged by color. The meaning that each color has in Asia is explained with a short essay and then illustrated with hundreds of examples from traditional and ceremonial use. Forget postcard cliches, the images in this book depict rarely seen rituals, and disappearing traditions in remote tribal locations throughout Asia. Following the colors is an offbeat way to look at other cultures, and a delightful way to visit this very diverse continent where half of humanity lives. It is full of amazing costumes, and astounding architecture, and bizarre ceremonies, as well as extraordinary everyday artifacts – all unexpectedly arranged by color! It is hard to page through it without a smile.

'It is quite a feat to pull off a densely informative book about a horrible subject that also manages to be charismatic and funny . . . Highly readable' - The Guardian Polls show that over fifty per cent of us don't believe racism exists. In a world made for White people, The Science of Racism uses clear scientific research to expose what we know about racism, exactly how we know it, and what we can do about it. *British police are nine times more likely to use their tasers on Black people. *An item being advertised on eBay will sell for approximately twenty per cent less if a dark-skinned hand is shown in the photos. *Black Caribbean applicants have to apply for around fifty per cent more jobs in order to receive a positive response. Professor Keon West cuts through the divisive anecdotes and rhetoric with decades' worth of clear, factual, rigorous science - the data that reveals truths about racism that we need to know. And, somehow, entertains and amuses along the way. 'Illuminating, surprising, unnerving, moving' - Sathnam Sanghera 'Short circuits the brain' - The Independent 'A book that shouldn't have to exist . . . but I'm glad it does' - Adam Rutherford
