Aspiration Contested

'A testament to love's fortitude in a tumultuous world' MAIL ON SUNDAY 'Passionate and powerful, a love story that will grip you until the very end' ABIGAIL BERGSTROM, author of WHAT A SHAME 'A beautiful, vivid, gut-punch of a novel' EMMA STONEX, author of THE LAMPLIGHTERS 'A powerful and emotional novel which spans continents' MIRROR 'Compelling and deeply moving . . . so absorbing' EXPRESS 'Beautiful . . . a wonderful and remarkable novel that I would happily read all over again' ORE AGBAJE-WILLIAMS, author of THE THREE OF US 'Rings true on every level . . . above all, in its glorious depiction of love' CATHERINE MAYER, author of ATTACK OF THE 50FT WOMEN London, 1990. Zivoin is newly arrived in a strange country. The dependable oldest son, he works all hours of the day and night, sending every penny he can save back to his family. On the news, he watches his homeland, Yugoslavia, slowly fracturing. Thousands of miles away, in the tropical heat of Uberlândia, Brazil, Alegria prepares to leave behind the country - and the family - she loves dearly. Bright and ambitious, she strives to give her parents the life they deserve, even if it takes her far from them. A chance meeting throws Alegria and Zivoin together - and for a brief moment, they feel at home. But their journey is just beginning, and what follows will draw them irresistibly across countries and continents, leaving them both forever changed. The powerful, exhilarating debut novel from an award-winning new voice in fiction, Strangerland is a heartfelt testament to the endurance that has come to define a generation of immigrants. Above all, it is a soaring, emotionally rich story about the power of love to transcend languages, borders and time.

Strangerland

Studies in Private International Law

This book examines the convergences, divergences and reciprocal lessons that the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa)share with one another in developing the principles of private international law.


The chapters provide a thematic understanding of the cornerstones of private international law in each of the BRICS countries: namely, (1) the procedure to initiate claims in civil and commercial matters, (2) the law that would govern such matters in litigation and arbitration, as well as (3) the mechanism to recognise and enforce foreign judgments and arbitral awards.


Written by leading private international law scholars and practitioners, the chapters draw on domestic legislation and its interpretation through cases decided by the courts in each of these emerging economies, and explicitly cover the rules applicable in contractual and non-contractual concerns and issues of choice of court agreements. Issues around marriage, divorce, matrimonial property, succession and surrogacy are also addressed, considering the implication of such aspects through the increased movement of persons.


The book is a useful comparative resource for the governments of the BRICS countries, legislators, traders, academics, researchers and students looking for an in-depth discussion of the reciprocal lessons that these countries may have to offer one another on these issues.

The Golden Pitch

'A must-read account from a heroic reporter who has taken on the world's most dangerous tech company' - Chris Miller, award-winning author of Chip War: The Fight for the World's Most Critical Technology 'Engaging . . . this excellent book lays out the damage of letting arbitrary political power intervene in business' - Financial Times It's on your phone. It's on your children's phones. It's on more than a billion screens across the planet, serving up joy, creativity and connection. But behind the slick feed of the world's most addictive app lies ruthless ambition and a global war for control. This is the dramatic, untold story of TikTok. Charting its rise from obscurity into the world's most valuable startup, Emily Baker-White reveals how TikTok's visionary founder, ByteDance CEO Zhang Yiming, reshaped the global internet from a place where you searched for information to one where information comes to you. Billions of users were soon hooked by the most effective recommendation algorithm in the world. But there was a cost to such success. Soon, TikTok was embroiled in accusations of surveillance, censorship and user manipulation, attracting controversy from India and Europe to the US. After Baker-White - a Harvard-trained lawyer and investigative reporter - revealed that Chinese engineers could access Americans' private information, a team of ByteDance employees even used the app to track her location. Based on unprecedented access to internal documents, leaked recordings and accounts from whistle-blowers inside the company, Every Screen on the Planet reveals how TikTok became trapped between two superpowers, desperate to survive. It is the story of how your attention became the world's moннннst valuable - and dangerous - commodity. 'Revealing. A story about power, control and the hidden battles shaping what we see online' - Parmy Olson, bestselling author of Supremacy: AI, ChatGPT and the Race That Will Change the World

Global Law and Sustainable Development

Given the significant developments in Indian economic and trade policymaking over the last two decades, this book provides an authoritative and timely analysis of the transformation and current state of India's foreign economic policy. The work presents a comprehensive, informed and critical overview of negotiating issues addressed in the recent period leading up to the substantial conclusion of the Trade Facilitation Agreement. The volume also takes into account the geopolitical considerations that influenced the negotiations. Finally, the reform steps being taken by India need to be understood in light of the structural changes in the economy, fuelling domestic compulsion, and the analysis covers this undercurrent in detail. The book will be a valuable guide to academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of international trade law, development economics and global politics.
