Diploma Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Law - Public Law / Constitutional Law / Basic Rights, grade: 64, De Montfort University Leicester (Business and Law), course: LAW, language: English, abstract: This paper examines the question, how, based on the right to life, the lifes of people with albinism can and should be protected in the case of Kenya. The Right to life is an inherent right, and both state and non-state actors have legal obligations to refrain from intentional and unlawful deprivation of life.

Deconstructing the Albino Other
Deconstructing the Albino Other: A Critique of Albinism Identity in Media discusses how American popular culture and communication about albinism, including movie characters and memes, have worked to create and maintain a negative trope of albinism that situates people with albinism (PWA) as a monolithic other. Niya Pickett Miller demonstrates that consequently, PWA must construct their own identities of albinism, highlighting the salient aspects of themselves as they see fit with no valid representation to look to for guidance. Thus, Pickett Miller argues, self-defining for PWA is a key rhetorical action taken to rearticulate albinism identity. Rather than focusing on scientific and medical lenses of analysis, this book positions albinism as a social construct through which a broader understanding of otherness can be achieved, using the negative influence of pop culture’s otherization of PWA as a case study with broader implications, including how medical conditions can be visually troped to isolate the other outside of society’s realm of normalcy. Scholars of media studies, race studies, sociology, rhetoric, and the medical humanities will find this book particularly useful.
What Do You Know About Albino Animals?
Albinism is a condition in which there's a lack of pigment in an animal's eyes, skin, scales, or feathers. This condition is genetically transmitted from parent to offspring. Albinism is found in nearly all animal species, including humans, snakes, and beetles. Readers will learn what causes albinism, the challenges albino animals face, and why these animals are so special. Fact boxes provide readers with supplementary information while color photographs capture readers' attention.
The Bones and Resilience of a Person with Albinism
In Tanzania, there have been accounts of albinos who have been tormented by their neighbors and friends due to superstition, the cries in the night when yet another person with albinism has been taken, the political reaction---local and international; but the arrival of an NGO Under the Same Sun determined to save them, and the amazing survival of these people with albinism has been shared around the world. Why is the climate and the people of this area so damaging to the survival of a person with albinism? What has led to such a notable level of resilience and a civil rights movement among them? This is all reviewed in this book.
