A True Crime Story

I Am Nisman

Flannery O'Connor on Writing

It was the deadliest terrorist attack of the twentieth century, a bombing which shocked the world. But was the wrong person found guilty?December 21, 1988. All flights between London and New York are full, except for Pan Am 103, where almost half the seats are empty. Thirty-eight minutes after take-off, as the plane flies over the tiny Scottish village of Lockerbie, a bomb explodes in the hull. All 259 people aboard perish.The attack is not a surprise - American diplomats had been warned not to fly with Pan Am - but the flight goes ahead. Eleven years later, a Libyan national is convicted of orchestrating the attack, a judgement which has been increasingly questioned and scrutinized due to its political implications and the fact that no physical evidence was found to tie the man to the crime.In late 2022, journalist Jan Stocklassa is trawling through the late Stieg Larsson's archive of documents when he discovers that the world-famous crime author had been investigating the Lockerbie bombing prior to his death, and he picks up the trail. Who was really behind the terrorist attack? Was it just a coincidence that the flight was half-empty that day? And who stands to benefit the most from the truth being buried all these years?Full of intrigue, scandal and drama, The Man Who Fell From The Sky is a breathless rollercoaster which lifts the lid on a real-life international conspiracy, a deadly plot, and one man's relentless fight for the truth.

Interpreting The Amistad Trials traces the signal importance of interpreters and translators in the famous 19th-century Amistad case and discusses how race, ethnicity, slavery, and colonialism shaped this story. From the recruitment process to the various oral to sign languages that mediated linguistically in the Africans' life inside and outside the courtroom, and from evidentiary documents to fraudulent translations to credible testimonies, Jeanette Zaragoza-De León demonstrates the crucial importance of translation and interpretation in the Amistad plot and outcome. De León examines handwritten letters, pamphlets, newspapers, and judicial files, and adopts a critical race theory and postcolonial lens to analyze these materials. Although these critical interpretations and translations travelled transatlantically via Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and the United States, De León highlights the common thread which also geographically unites Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic as part of the Amistad story. One of the most comprehensive studies of recorded events in the history of interpretation and translation in the Americas, Interpreting The Amistad Trials is a valuable resource for researchers studying coloniality, enslavement, race and ethnic studies and examining how these issues mattered then and now.

Interpreting the Amistad Trials

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERThe world's criminals earn trillions every year. They keep almost all of it. Every effort to stop them has failed. Why? Join Oliver Bullough through the looking glass, voyaging through the dark heart of the global economy: where flows of dirty banknotes, designer goods and baby eels prop up illicit networks spanning from Miami to Shanghai - via, strangely, North Oxfordshire. Cryptocurrencies flow through ledgers that would look familiar to a fifteenth-century Florentine banker. Casinos, lottery tickets and government ignorance all power the merry-go-round of dirty money. And it all works brilliantly. Better than ever. There has never been a better time to be a criminal. It's time that changed.

Alabama and Mississippi are often viewed and depicted as culturally monolithic and hostile to change. Yet, in Magnolia Misfits: Exploring Counterculture in Alabama and Mississippi, author Thomas Michael Kersen proves that, beneath the surface, these states have always contained a vibrant undercurrent of misfits—bohemians, radicals, cooperatives, musicians, and spiritual seekers—who created alternative spaces for civic dialogue and cultural innovation. Building on Kersen’s earlier book, Where Misfits Fit: Counterculture and Influence in the Ozarks, Magnolia Misfits highlights how various social groups function as "hinges" between everyday lives and larger social forces. These groups generated countersystems of values and practices that resisted conformity while shaping movements for civil rights, women’s rights, antiwar protest, environmentalism, and alternative foodways. 	 	 	Magnolia Misfits is organized around key case studies: early socialist and cooperative colonies in Mississippi and Alabama; countercultural religious leaders and theosophists; Liberty House and other cooperative networks; Edge City in Jackson as the "Woodstock Nation of the South"; underground newspapers such as The Kudzu; and food cooperatives and farming movements that prefigured today’s sustainable agriculture. Drawing on archival research, oral histories, and sociological theory, Kersen situates these communities within frameworks utilized in many scholarly works of sociology and folklore—presenting a narrative that is both scholarly and accessible—to radically reframe Southern history that celebrates how countercultural groups have created lasting change in hostile environments.

For decades, LGBTI people simply did not exist in the language of international human rights law. No treaty named them, and no UN body addressed their demands. They had been written out of the universal promise of human rights. Based on archival research in Amsterdam and London, three years of participant observation at the UN, and in-depth interviews with activists, diplomats, and UN officials, Queer International Activism tracks the strategies, coalitions, and creative advocacy efforts through which LGBTI activists gradually inserted themselves into the world's most powerful human rights institutions. &nbsp;&nbsp;The book traces five distinct ways in which queer civil society organizations worked to reshape human rights subjecthood: reframing the meaning of universality; drafting their own international legal instruments; forging coalitions inside UN bodies; confronting the colonial assumptions embedded in global sexuality politics; and leveraging personal relationships and individual identity to open doors that formal institutional rules kept closed. But this is not a straightforward victory narrative. The power queer activists have won is real but precarious, built on relationships and opportunity rather than on deep institutional change, and the influence activists have gained depends on conditions that can disappear. As opposition to LGBTI rights escalates across the globe, this book underscores the urgency of understanding how queer activist changed the trajectory of human rights law, and how fragile these victories remain.

Critical Interventions

Pedagogy and the Struggle for Democracy brings together a selection of Henry Giroux's most incisive essays, analysing neoliberal fascism, public pedagogy, cultural politics, empire, and the politics of disposability, offering both a powerful critique of authoritarianism and a compelling vision of democratic resistance.One of the leading theorists of critical pedagogy and cultural politics, Giroux argues that authoritarianism is rooted not only in political institutions but also in culture, where power operates through education, media, language, historical memory, and the production of common sense to shape consciousness and identity. Developing the concept of neoliberal fascism, he demonstrates how market fundamentalism, authoritarian governance, and cultural power have fused into a new historical formation. Against this politics of domination, Giroux advances critical pedagogy as an essential moral and political practice for cultivating critical thought, collective agency, and the democratic capacities necessary to challenge authoritarianism and transform society.Essential reading for students and scholars of authoritarianism, fascism, neoliberalism, critical pedagogy, contemporary politics, education, cultural studies, political theory, and democracy, this book offers both an indispensable introduction to Giroux's thought and a timely resource for understanding, and resisting, the contemporary authoritarian turn.
