Copyright and Piracy
An understanding of the changing nature of the law and practice of copyright infringement is a task too big for lawyers alone; it requires additional inputs from economists, historians, technologists, sociologists, cultural theorists and criminologists. Where is the boundary to be drawn between illegal imitation and legal inspiration? Would the answer be different for creators, artists and experts from different disciplines or fields? How have concepts of copyright infringement altered over time and how do such changes relate, if at all, to the cultural norms operating amongst creators in different fields?

And what can be done to avoid any such adverse consequences, while maintaining the effectiveness of copyright as an incentive-mechanism for those who need it?

In his final work, Richard Twiss surveys the complicated history of Christian missions among Indigenous peoples and voices a hopeful vision of contextual Native Christian faith.
Healing Haunted Histories
Healing Haunted Histories tackles the oldest and deepest injustices on the North American continent. Violations which inhabit every intersection of settler and Indigenous worlds, past and present. Wounds inextricably woven into the fabric of our personal and political lives. And it argues we can heal those wounds through the inward and outward journey of decolonization.

Can "White" People Be Saved?
White narmativity as a way of being in the world has been parasitically joined to Christianity, and this is the ground of many of our problems today. Written by a world-class roster of scholars, this volume develops language to describe the current realities of race and racism, challenging evangelical Christianity to think more critically and constructively about race, ethnicity, migration, and mission in relation to white supremacy.

Religious Rhetoric
Religious Rhetoric: Dividing a Nation or Building Community examines religious rhetoric and its creation of both division and unity from a variety of perspectives and issues. Religion, in a variety of forms, is central to our understanding of who we are and how we respond to the world around us. Even those who claim not to have a religious faith have religion in the sense that they have a particular worldview through which they understand and react to the world around them. By examining religious rhetoric in a variety of contexts, this book uncovers the cultural impact of this rhetoric on our political, community, and personal systems of understanding.
