Theoretical Justice vs. Practical Application. Bridging the Gap in Contemporary Legal Systems

The electrifying tale of rage and resistance of young noblewoman Beatrice Cenci __________A young noblewoman accused of murder, awaits execution. Imprisoned in the Corte Savella, she has captured the hearts and sympathy of all Rome. . .This is the true and tragic tale of Beatrice Cenci.Murder most foul or vengeance most just?Helpless victim or resolute heroine?Rome, 1599.Beatrice yearns to escape the clutches of her abusive father and determined to find a way back to Rome, enlists the help of Olimpio, the castle's keeper. Soon the love that grows between them will transform Beatrice's fortunes, for better and for worse. . .History has sold her short. She is no doe-eyed victim of her father's brutality, nor the cunning murderer who plotted her father's demise. No, this Beatrice - a woman pregnant by her lover, incarcerated in a remote castle by her father, and brim-full of white-hot rage - is both innocent and guilty, saint and sinner.And she will stand tall in the face of the violence of men, no matter the cost. __________Praise for Sinners:An evocative tale of misplaced love and lust at a time when, saint or sinner, no one wins. A gripping read which gallops to a crescendo of an ending - Melanie CantorA sensationally powerful novel with a rollercoaster of a story that has the dark logic of Greek tragedy - Andrew Taylor, bestselling author of The Ashes of LondonI was spellbound by this wonderful book and had to neglect everything else to finish it. Truly, it's one of the best historical novels I have read in a long time. Elizabeth Fremantle evokes so beautifully and convincingly the Italy of the late sixteenth century; her characters are compellingly drawn and her prose is magnificent. I cannot recommend this novel highly enough - Alison Weir, acclaimed historian and novelistA dark and brilliant historical novel that reads like a cross between a murder mystery, a true crime drama, and a Jacobean tragedy. You can almost feel the heat and the horror of the sixteenth century. One of the best historical novels I have read in a very long time - Garth Russell, acclaimed historian of Queen JamesA transporting historical thriller - 16th century Rome, a heroine (kind-of) and a murder trial - Erin Kelly, bestselling author of He Said, She Said

'An unimpeachable, erudite jewel of a book on the politics of memorialisation. This beautifully written reckoning with history shines a clear light on how&nbsp;far and how tenaciously the shadows of colonialism reach into our lives in the present moment.&nbsp;A necessary and vital piece of work' Neel Mukherjee, Booker Prize shortlisted author of&nbsp;The Lives of Others

'Compulsively readable. Rather than a superficial skirmish in the culture wars, the struggle over statues is about how we live with and relate to one another, and the fight over equality and dignity in the present' Laleh Khalili, Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter

'A powerfully grounded and eminently thoughtful contribution to debates around race, caste, class and historical memory. At once considered and stimulating, Rao's account of how we grapple with the imperial past and present will stay standing even as statues rise and fall over the coming decades' Priyamvada Gopal, Professor of Postcolonial Studies, University of Cambridge

Statues around the world have become lightning rods for public debates over the meaning of our imperial past and postcolonial present. The Psychic Lives of Statues is an insightful exploration of these global controversies, demonstrating that beneath their surface lie deeper struggles over race, caste and the politics of decolonisation.

Rahul Rao takes readers on an international journey, revealing how these controversies have dramatically rearranged anticolonial political thought through the multifaceted lenses of justice, cultural memory and belonging.

The Psychic Lives of Statues explores both the toppling of colonial statues and the erection of postcolonial ones, illuminating how statues remain powerful and compelling forms of memorialisation. Engaging with artists, scholars and activists, Rao offers a fresh and exciting perspective on how we understand our past and present through iconography.

Rahul Rao is a Reader in International Political Thought in the School of International Relations at the University of St Andrews, and Professorial Research Associate at SOAS University of London. He is the author of two other books - Third World Protest: Between Home and the World (2010) and Out of Time: The Queer Politics of Postcoloniality (2020). He is a member of the Radical Philosophy editorial collective.

The Psychic Lives of Statues

A devastating, meticulous account of the history of Israel's destruction of Gaza from an acclaimed architect and investigator'Urgent and essential' DAVID WENGROW 'Extraordinary' ILAN PAPPÉEyal Weizman is one of the world's leading experts on the relationship between violence, conflict and the environment, both built and natural. As director of the organisation Forensic Architecture, he and his team of interdisciplinary researchers document acts of state crimes and human rights violations around the world. Since 2023, the group has worked to produce evidence for the International Court of Justice's genocide case against Israel.In Ungrounding, Weizman draws on that research to bring us on an eye-opening journey across time and into the 'deep cartography' of the area extending from Gaza's subterranean tunnels through to its militarised topography, its unique soil, settlements and barriers. He catalogues, in unflinching and forensic detail, the Israeli campaigns of violence and displacement that have reshaped the region in an effort to make Gaza and its surrounding areas unliveable.Taking us through the broader geographic and historical context, from the Nakba in 1948 to the present day, Ungrounding establishes that architectural and territorial analysis is key to understanding the relationship between coloniser and colonised - and how Israel's actions after 7 October escalated into violence so extreme and so far-reaching as to, Weizman argues, meet the definition of genocide.Deeply informative and profoundly affecting in its scope and precision, and illustrated with dozens of original images, maps and diagrams, Ungrounding is an essential document of atrocity in our time.

The next evolution of DEI is here. Discover how to shape a workplace that puts everyone ahead through the groundbreaking FAIR framework. Over 80 percent of Americans agree that the goals of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are important in workplaces and society. Yet, research shows that a mere 20 percent feel they’ve directly benefited from workplace DEI programs. As traditional DEI efforts in the workplace face disengagement, backlash, and stagnation, it’s time to reimagine this work. Drawing on historical case studies, deep research, and a decade of the author’s consulting experience with organizations of all sizes, this book reveals the four tenets that will shape the next evolution of workplace DEI: <ul><li>Outcomes over Intentions: Don’t chase trends. Do what it takes to measurably achieve greater fairness, access, inclusion, and representation for all.</li><li>Systems over Self-Help: Don’t fixate on individual biases. Solve the root causes of discrimination by shaping workplace norms, culture, processes, and practices.</li><li>Coalitions over Cliques: Don’t just preach to the choir. Build bridges and movements that engage everyone as part of the solution. &nbsp;</li><li>Win-Win over Zero-Sum: Don’t give in to “us versus them.” Create and relentlessly communicate a vision for a better status quo for everyone.</li></ul> The FAIR framework offers an alternative to both the performative practices of traditional DEI programs and the false promises of anti-DEI antagonists. With clarity, urgency, and no-nonsense practicality, Fixing Fairness charts a new path forward for those committed to creating better outcomes for all.

An on-the-ground study of junior police academies--contentious school-police partnerships that provide educational resources, career opportunities, and hope for social mobility. Some might see police officers as benevolent sources of protection, but in many communities, they are often perceived as a threat due to a legacy of violent interactions and arrests for arbitrary offenses. How, then, do police sustain their presence in places where people might distrust them? In Kid Cops, sociologist Mai Thai offers one answer: junior police academies, high school programs in which police officers provide courses, mentorship, and job training to students in communities with high rates of juvenile delinquency and poverty. These school-police partnerships have expanded rapidly in the United States over the last few decades, largely in response to political unrest and police violence in the 1990s. Programs vary in their offerings, but they generally aim to ease tensions between communities and law enforcement, while also providing needed resources in neighborhoods where education and job opportunities are scarce. Kid Cops draws on years of observations and interviews with educators, police officers, and, of course, kids. The junior police programs at each high school may have different emphases, but their common goal is for students to graduate from high school and enter college or the workforce. A second goal of the program is to cultivate a positive image of the police. Ultimately, however, Thai finds that these programs tighten the relationship between marginalized youth, schools, and the criminal justice system and strain the students' relationships with their peers, families, and each other. These programs also distract residents from systemic issues of policing and suppress opportunities for meaningful change. Written in an accessible tone that balances the seriousness of inequality with the playfulness of the study's youth, Kid Cops moves beyond the narrative of detentions, suspensions, and arrests to tell a less conventional story about police in schools. It asks, does good, friendly policing exist--especially if it continues to tether low-income communities of color to the criminal justice system?

What Communities Gain and Lose from Junior Police in Schools

A charred notebook, rescued from a long-forgotten fire, becomes an unlikely piece of evidence and catalyst to help unravel a century-old mystery.

When he was a child, the author first encountered the fragile remains of his great-grandmother Armina's notebook - an object so damaged and incomplete it seemed meaningless. Passed down through generations, its brittle, charred pages held only fragments, offering no clear story. Yet its quiet presence lingered, a puzzle waiting to be solved.

Years later, a chance discovery in the walls of a Missouri home would transform that childhood curiosity into a decades-long investigation. A hidden newspaper from 1892 revealed that Armina was not simply the kind and loving figure remembered in family lore, but the central figure in a sensational murder trial that captured national and international attention. Accused of killing her young stepdaughter and ultimately acquitted, her story had been scattered across archives and forgotten records for over a century.

Driven by the mystery of the burned notebook and the shadow it cast over his family's past, the author embarks on a meticulous reconstruction of the events surrounding that tragic day. Drawing from historical accounts, newspaper reports, and years of research, he pieces together a gripping narrative of suspicion, family conflict, and justice in Gilded Age America.

This is the story of a girl whose life was nearly erased, a crime that shocked a nation, and the enduring power of history to survive - even when the pages meant to preserve it have turned to ash.

A Voice For Evie

NATIONAL BESTSELLER Most Anticipated Books of the Year by Time · Best Books of September by The New York Times and NPR · Best Books of Fall by The Boston Globe · A Must-Read of September by Vulture “Alive...vivid...heartfelt.” —AO Scott, The New York Times “A towering accomplishment.” —Theo Baker, New York Times bestselling author of How to Rule the World A mysterious accident along a country road sparks an awakening and an investigation in Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright and acclaimed novelist Ayad Akhtar’s most daring work yet—a visionary novel of spiritual transformation in an age of fracture—“bordering at times on the ineffable” (Mary Gaitskill, bestselling author of Bad Behavior). When a hit-and-run shatters more than his body, a writer is plunged into a spiritual awakening he can’t tell from madness. In its grip, he’s drawn to a brilliant campus colleague by an uncanny pull, and into a scandal that threatens to destroy them both. What begins as a provocative portrait of academic and cultural warfare deepens into erotic entanglement, the exposure of a family secret, and the mystery surrounding the narrator’s accident—both the violence and its aftermath. Moving between rural America and Europe, Islam and Christianity, the intimate and the metaphysical, The Radiance is of our American moment and beyond it—asking not only what has broken, but what radiance remains.

The Radiance

This second edition of&nbsp;The Palgrave Handbook of Criminology and the Global South&nbsp;significantly expands, develops and draws together the rapidly growing research and theory about crime, punishment, security, prisons, policing, gender violence, environmental justice, island justice and justice innovations from, in the spatial and marginal global peripheries. It challenges the hegemonic bias in the production and dissemination of criminological knowledge and covers a huge scope of original research to develop a field of criminological inquiry inclusive of the experiences of the Global South. It includes Indigenous, critical, green, southern, feminist, counter-colonial, post-colonial and de-colonial approaches. 
The handbook promotes diverse perspectives to develop concepts and theories that bridge global divides aiming to democratise criminological knowledges. It contains 86 chapters organised into eight themes and features contributions from both emerging and established scholars from around the globe. While colonialism's impacts are most visible in former colonies of the Global South, marginalised communities also exist in the Global North. The handbook, therefore, transcends geographical boundaries by incorporating theories from the margins.

'An excellent collection that sets the Gaza genocide in an African and universal context'&nbsp;John Dugard, Emeritus Professor, Universities of the Witwatersrand and Leiden

'Exceptional ... Traces the intertwined legacies of genocide, apartheid, and colonial domination'&nbsp;Issa Shivji, Professor Emeritus, University of Dar es Salaam

'This is an act of remembrance and resistance that reconnects Africa's unfinished liberation to Palestine's ongoing struggle. It demands we see Palestine not as a distant tragedy, but as a mirror reflecting the global architecture of domination'&nbsp;Ahmed Shihab-Eldin, Emmy-nominated journalist, producer and actor

What does true global solidarity look like, and how can it help us fight for the oppressed? Rising for Palestine is a groundbreaking anthology that reveals the deep ties between some of the world's most powerful liberation struggles.

For decades, African nations and movements have stood firmly with the Palestinian people. From anti-colonial uprisings and the Pan-African Congress of 1945 to the ongoing fight against Israeli apartheid and Western imperialism, that bond has endured. Bringing together critical contributions from Palestinian and African scholars, intellectuals and activists, they confront the intertwined histories of genocide, apartheid and colonialism, forces that still cast long shadows over the present. Rising for Palestine is a powerful call to action, engaging with these violent and traumatic histories while exploring new avenues for resistance.

Rising for Palestine

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERIn one of the most extraordinary true crime stories ever published, Broken Plea questions what really happened in the house on King Road--and the results of that investigation, still unfolding in real time, will astound you.Was there more than one killer? Had the crime scene been cleaned and sanitized before the police arrived? Was furniture staged to throw off detectives? In the aftermath of Bryan Kohberger's request to withdraw his guilty plea, there are more questions than ever before.In the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, four lives were lost in a brutal crime in Moscow, Idaho--and a nation demanded answers. When a suspect accepted a plea bargain, the story seemed settled. Justice, many believed, had been served.Broken Plea prophetically challenges that assumption.Drawing on court records, investigative timelines, witness statements, and apparently overlooked inconsistencies, this meticulously researched exposé examines how a rush to judgment may have shaped one of the most closely watched murder cases in recent memory. As the official narrative hardened, critical leads went unexplored, contradictory evidence was minimized, and alternative explanations faded from view.This book does not claim certainty where none exists. Instead, it asks the questions that were never fully pursued: What happens when pressure to close a case outweighs the search for truth? What evidence may have been sidelined, and why? And what are the consequences when a plea doesn't end scrutiny but invites it?Clear-eyed, unsparing, and deeply unsettling, Broken Plea reopens a case that never should have closed as it did--and invites readers to look again at what justice demands when the truth remains unresolved.
