Religionswissenschaft

Religiöse Minderheiten und religiöse Mehrheiten lassen sich nicht durch Größe oder Merkmale kategorisieren, sondern werden durch Zuschreibungen bestimmt. Die Beiträger*innen fokussieren auf diese Zuschreibungen und die dadurch entstehenden Minderheiten-Mehrheiten-Konstellationen. Mit Blick auf plurale Gesellschaften der Gegenwart analysieren sie, was religiöse Minderheiten und Mehrheiten ausmacht, in welchem Verhältnis sie zueinander stehen und welche Folgen diskursive Bezugnahmen, Eigen- und Fremdbezeichnungen sowie Ein- und Ausschlüsse für die Selbstwahrnehmung, Konstituierung, Positionierung und Kommunikation religiöser Minderheiten haben.

Au Bout Des Larmes

When every road was barricaded by bullets and betrayal, they carved a path through fire. In the shadow of dictatorship and on the brink of annihilation, a new generation of Rwandans chose the unthinkable-not for glory, not for conquest, but for survival and the hope of dignity restored. Option Z: The Last Road to Freedom tells the epic, harrowing, and ultimately triumphant story of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF)- from exile and despair to a disciplined liberation movement that dared to reclaim the soul of a broken nation. Through vivid accounts of key battles, secret negotiations, international indifference, and unyielding resolve, this book traces the final chapters of Rwanda's darkest hour-and the light that emerged from its depths. Blending history with human testimony, strategy with sacrifice, and memory with meaning, Option Z is more than a military chronicle-it is a tribute to courage, unity, and the moral clarity of choosing justice when silence seemed the safer path. "This is not just the story of a war-it is the anatomy of a people's last hope, told with clarity, compassion, and fierce conviction." Whether you're a student of history, a seeker of justice, or simply drawn to stories where human will defies impossible odds, Option Z: The Long Road to Freedom offers an unforgettable window into the soul of Rwanda.

The long road to freedom

Option Z

This volume addresses the important, but under-noticed, question of the impact of state size and scale for constitutional law and governance, and brings together leading global scholars to focus on the lessons from a range of small states and jurisdictions in this context.

Often, the best way to understand the effect of scale is to examine states where scale is demonstrably lacking. Doing so allows a form of "reflective" comparison that provides greater insight and clarity into the significance of state size, and constitutional scale, as a factor affecting a range of democratic constitutional outcomes. The volume also explicitly invites critical reflection on, and problematisation of, the issues of line-drawing and boundary definition around notions of state and jurisdictional size.

The collection features contributions by scholars from a wide range of jurisdictions, living and working across the Global South and North, and includes attention to the constitutional experiences of small states and jurisdictions in Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, the Caribbean and Oceania that have not received much coverage in the literature. As such, it makes a meaningful contribution to regionally-focused constitutional debates. This is especially significant in the Caribbean and Oceania, where a large percentage of states are small states, and there is only a limited body of constitutional scholarship focusing on the constitutional experiences of such jurisdictions. More generally, this volume will be of interest to audiences working in and interested in small states generally, as well as a broader comparative audience interested in issues of scale in constitutional design and implementation.

Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology

Prison building has moved from the margins to the mainstream of our penal politics. In recent years the UK Government has invested billions in new prison building and the main political parties are currently locked into a penal arms race over who can, and who will, build the most additional prison places in England and Wales. Prison building is now widely lauded as the definitive policy solution to the current prisons crisis and yet, this remains an elusive sphere of penal policymaking. Academic research remains in its infancy, and we still know very little about how these large investment decisions are made, by whom and for what reasons.
In seeking to shine a light on this subterranean and largely closed sphere of contemporary penal policymaking, this book presents the first systematic study of prison building programmes in England and Wales since the mid-1990’s punitive turn. Drawing upon extensive archival research, 28 exploratory qualitative interviews, publicly recorded data, historic satellite imagery and other mapping techniques this book has three main aims: (1) to provide an authoritative historical account of prison building activity in England and Wales since the mid-1990s punitive turn, (2) to explain why successive governments have chosen to invest in new prison building programmes and (3) to reflect upon how the prisons we build - functionally, architecturally, geographically – continue to shape our politics long after they have been constructed.

What defines us? And how might knowledge of deep history affect our understanding of our identity? In Motherland, Luke Pepera traverses thousands of years to reveal the aspects of African identity that have characterised this epic history. From hip-hop's origin in traditional African word games to female-led societies, and from Mansa Musa to Chadwick Boseman, this is a personal, relevant and beautifully told account of the stories that have shaped Africa.

Preventing Torture and Monitoring Places of Detention

Dumela Rra Duma Boko is a work of laudatory poetry that celebrates the dawn of a new era. It explores the path toward reclaiming Botswana's dignity and recapturing the "lost glory" of the African continent. The collection offers vital nuggets of wisdom for President Duma Boko as he confronts the deep-seated challenges of inequity, poverty, and corruption. While encouraging the President to deliver on his promises, the poem also serves as a sharp critique of past leaders who treated the presidency as a family business. It is both a celebration of potential and a stern warning against the evils that have historically hindered African progress.
