Mykhed O: I Will Mix Your Blood with
Coal

I Will Mix Your Blood with Coal

Snapshots from the East of Ukraine

Tradd Street Press

"Extraterritoriality: Its Rise and Its Decline" provides a comprehensive legal and historical analysis of the development and eventual phasing out of extraterritorial rights. This scholarly work explores the complex jurisdictional arrangements where individuals were exempted from the laws of the foreign countries in which they resided, instead remaining subject to the laws of their home nations.Shih Shun Liu traces the evolution of this system from its early origins through its expansion during the era of imperial influence and its subsequent decline as international legal norms shifted toward sovereign equality. The text examines the practical implications of these legal privileges in trade, diplomacy, and judicial administration, offering insights into the tensions between foreign powers and host nations. With a focus on the historical mechanisms that sustained and eventually dismantled these special jurisdictions, this study remains a vital resource for understanding the history of international relations, global legal systems, and the struggle for national sovereignty in the early 20th century.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Its Rise and Its Decline: Studies in History, Economics and Public Law

Extraterritoriality

Examines the discordance among the public over controversial historic monumentsand how it should be addressed, highlighting how iconoclasm is confronted through global heritage management theory.

Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the United States and Canada rarely experienced iconoclasm, the premeditated destruction of visual symbols, because of their specific emotional or ideological content in the public square. This is changing. As North Americans continue to reject the tangible and intangible heritage of institutionalized white supremacy, iconoclasm acts are happening with greater frequency. The death of George Floyd in May 2020 hastened the demand by Americans to remove historic monuments; so much so, that protesters took matters into their own hands and pulled down statues of historical figures, not limited to the American Civil War but also associated with European colonialism before the American Revolution and during the reign of Queen Victoria in Canada.&nbsp;

For historic preservationists and conservationists, iconoclasm is now the most consequential issue in the field and will continue to be a matter of contention for the foreseeable future. Motives for enacting iconoclasm can be justified, but what are the consequences for doing so, and how, in turn, will this determine the future of our public spaces in towns and cities? More fundamentally, is the current period of iconoclasm leading us to reconsider the public square as part of the built environment? This book will be the first theory-informed work to examine the discordance among the public over controversial historic monuments in the historic landscape and how it should be addressed. It challenges architects, landscape architects, conservationists, preservationists, elected officials, and the public to reconsider the public square and whether or not civic art that memorializes is still relevant or a practice that can be reimagined. It also considers the after-effects of iconoclasm acts: How should we redesign public civic spaces after we have either destroyed or removed historic monuments? As societal values change in regard to public memorialization, how will heritage practitioners, conservationist technicians, and urban designers grapple with working in the civic realm, which may be considered antiquated but continues to exist in our cities?

The book examines how iconoclasm is confronted through global heritage management theory. During the second half of the twentieth century, UNESCO and the European Union drafted charters to protect historic monuments from acts of war and degradation. The author considers these sets of principles and other international approaches to contested and conflicted heritage in addressing racism-based heritage that is embedded in North American heritage, from theoretical, architectural, and legal perspectives. France, which first experienced iconoclasm during the Revolution, has grappled with iconoclasm throughout its modern history. Revolutionary leader Henri Grégoire even invented a noun for it: "vandalism." Through the creation of an environment removed from a historic object's context-the public museum, the Louvre-France conceived institutional iconoclasm. From the revolutions and cultural upheavals of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to the calamities of two world wars in the twentieth century, Europeans have developed policy and a legal framework that address iconoclasm. The book intends to examine this legal framework closely. It will inform the direction that the North American heritage field should take in order to accept that heritage changes, and must change, in response to our own needs to acknowledge multiple histories and identities in a diverse society, while simultaneously recognizing that iconoclasm is a part of how a society resolves its emotional responses to its built heritage.

<h4>Extreme porn is ruining lives. What can we do about it?</h4>
'Fizzes with righteous rage' The Times

'Couldn't be more important... Urgent, bold and unflinching.' Laura Bates, author of&nbsp;Everyday Sexism

Never more than a click away, porn is virtually inescapable. With minimal moderation, mainstream platforms don't just host it, they push ever more extreme content into view, whether you want it or not.

The consequences are profound. Our most intimate relationships are being manipulated, our desires exploited. An entire generation is learning about sex not from experience or trust but from Pornhub, where fantasies are constructed by degrading, misogynistic and racist ideals that eroticise masculine dominance and normalise sexual violence. Meanwhile, non-consensual porn is destroying women's lives, a threat now supercharged by deepfakes and AI.

We're told we live in an age of sexual freedom, but this isn't true. We are fighting not only for autonomy over our bodies and desires, but for gender equality itself. To move forward means confronting and dismantling both the patriarchy and the porn industry that sustains it.

The Problem of Extreme Porn

Exposed

In a collection of linked tales filled with irony, humor, and magic, Talking with Boys introduces an unforgettable cast of characters in the Pakistani diaspora in Houston navigating crises of their own making and beyond their control. Via generations and geographies, the stories expand from Houston into tales from the characters' pasts in Dubai and Lahore. A community of Pakistani immigrants distract ICE with unlikely bait. A housekeeper in a Dubai mansion plots to liberate her fellow indentured workers. In Lahore, an empty nester finds herself bound by more than a jinxed bracelet. Throughout, Tayyba Kanwal's remarkable characters navigate economic upheavals, political turmoil, and personal betrayals to pursue love, plot for survival, and play subtle power games to triumph against patriarchal forces of all genders.

Black Women and Sartorial Choice after Enslavement

The Will to Adorn

“Here is a writer with a rare gift for appreciation and for reminding us of all we have to celebrate in our fractured world.”&nbsp;—Pico Iyer, author of 
The Half Known Life Behind the scenes of a globe-spanning career in freelance journalism Foreword by Tim Cahill A Crooked Line celebrates an age when print journalism changed lives and made the world a better place. That era may be winding down, but this perceptive book makes the case for why incisive writing will always matter. Over the course of his 40-year career, Michael Shapiro has reported from more than 20 countries, writing for National Geographic, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times and many other top publications. But the itinerant writer’s life, while rewarding, has never been easy.
 
Shapiro worked as an investigative reporter and staff writer for San Francisco Bay Area newspapers before letting go of a regular paycheck and setting out to share stories of people and places worldwide. The exhilarations of the open road, “afoot and light-hearted” as Whitman wrote, were tempered by the challenges of freelancing, from making a living to working with heavy-handed editors.
 
His stories put people first: For a feature about Puerto Rico’s recovery after Hurricane Maria, he visited farmers who spoke of shifting from exporting produce to growing food for local people. His profile of a Yosemite photographer, who climbed Half Dome after being diagnosed with cancer, brought the man’s big-hearted humanity to the fore.
 
Shapiro is known as a travel writer, but his work goes far beyond global dispatches. In this book he shares stories of: <ul><li>saving Sunset magazine’s priceless archive of Western life (including photos made by Ansel Adams) after Time Inc. told staffers to toss everything into a dumpster</li><li>an investigation into the U.S. government’s attempt to conceal the circumstances of pro football star and soldier Pat Tillman’s death during the war in Afghanistan</li><li>writing a tribute about environmental hero Jane Goodall just hours after she died</li><li>how the Grateful Dead’s ecstatic songs celebrate the wonders of nature.</li></ul>Renowned for his books of conversations with writers and artists, A Sense of Place and The Creative Spark, Shapiro has interviewed David Sedaris, Amy Tan, Smokey Robinson, Joan Rivers, Frances Mayes and Peter Matthiessen. In this volume, he tells the story of how he convinced a reluctant Paul Theroux to agree to an interview and shares an in-depth dialogue with poet and philosopher David Whyte. A Crooked Line highlights Shapiro’s best journalism and includes behind-the-scenes anecdotes about how he pitched stories and got assignments worldwide. Postscripts detail what happened afterward; some include letters from people he wrote about, sharing what his coverage meant to them. Due to the dramatic changes in the journalistic landscape, a career like Shapiro’s couldn’t begin today. Yet the skills he honed as a journalist—empathetic listening, concise and evocative writing, and a keen sense of what matters—remain as relevant as ever. The tales and insights in A Crooked Line provide a timely affirmation of journalism’s enduring power to illuminate the human experience. This penetrating book reminds us that whatever life path we choose, it’s vital to make it our own.

A Crooked Line

Timely and relevant work focusing on the reconstruction of ancient towns for tourism and local development This book introduces the notion of heritage creation in tourism to explain how the past is reproduced and revitalised, and how tourism contributes to shaping the future, by the choices and actions of diverse stakeholders. This notion highlights the capacity of individuals and communities to reflect on the past, care for the present and envision the future. Through an in-depth case study of Gubei Water Town, the volume examines heritage creation through four interconnected dimensions: material (re)construction, embodiment, narrative and value. Offering an original perspective on the relationship between heritage and tourism, this book will be of interest to researchers and students in heritage and tourism studies and cultural geography. It also invites tourism practitioners to reflect on their roles in shaping heritage and the future through tourism development and practice.

Contemporary Security Studies

This book examines Russia's systematic deportation, forcible transfer, indoctrination, and assimilation of Ukrainian children as a deliberate strategy of war designed to erase Ukrainian identity.Drawing on a layered conceptual framework that integrates occupation governance, imperial identity politics (Russkiy Mir), and intergenerational trauma, the book explains how the removal of children extends beyond physical displacement to reshape identity, memory, citizenship, and national belonging. The study employs a mixed-methods, comparative-historical research design combining more than 50 semi-structured interviews with returned young adults, caregivers, government officials, legal experts, investigators, humanitarian practitioners, and civil society leaders, identified through purposive and snowball sampling. These original interviews are complemented by governmental and NGO reports, international legal materials, investigative journalism, open-source intelligence, and Ukrainian- and Russian-language sources. By treating these child abductions as a core element of war crimes, the book reframes the conversation and fills an important gap in both academic research and public discourse. It also offers practical insights into accountability, child protection, and trauma-informed reunification.This book will be of particular interest to students of war crimes, international law, Eastern European politics, and security studies, as well as policymakers, practitioners, journalists, and general readers.

Critical Memory Studies

This open access book proposes slow memory as a new framework for understanding how remembrance operates across time, urging scholars and practitioners to resist the acceleration that characterizes both contemporary scholarship and public memory cultures. The authors explore the theoretical foundations of slow memory, emphasizing themes of deep time, intergenerational justice, and contested memory regimes. The collection focuses on the fields of environment, (de)industrialization, welfare, politics, and conflict to examine how gradual transformations impact the present through remembrance practices at different tempos. It advocates for a deceleration of scholarly and commemorative practices to develop ethical, sustainable, and inclusive engagements with the past. By foregrounding slowness as a conceptual and methodological tool, and slow memory as a "connective concept," this book offers a vital framework for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to rethink the temporalities of remembrance in an era of rapid transformation. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. This publication is based upon work from COST Action CA20105 on Slow Memory, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology). COST is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.
