The Black Queer Work of Ratchet
This book enters as a corrective to the tendency to trivialize and (mis)appropriate African American language practices. The word ratchet has entered into a wider (whiter) American discourse the same way that many words in African American English have—through hip-hop and social media. Generally, ratchet refers to behaviors and cultural expressions of Black people that sit outside of normative, middle-class respectable codes of conduct. Ratchet can function both as a tool for critiquing bad Black behavior, and as a tool for resisting the notion that there are such things as “good” and “bad” behavior in the first place. This book takes seriously the way ratchet operates in the every...

If Only the Rod Had Been Round
By Bridget Harris Volden as told to Ruth Thielke.
State Crime and Resistance
Within criminology ‘the state’ is often ignored as an active participant, or represented as a neutral force. While state crime studies have proliferated, criminologists have not paid attention to the history and impact of resistance to state crime. This book recognises that crimes of the state are far more serious and harmful than crimes committed by individuals, and considers how such crimes may be contested, prevented, challenged or stopped. Gathering together key scholars from the UK, USA, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, this book offers a deepened understanding of state crime through the practical and analytical lens of resistance. This book focuses on crimes ranging from gross viol...
Therapy, Wine & God
After a near-death experience, Bridget Harris found herself searching for purpose, expecting an immediate, big revelation. Instead, she remained in the same job, the same relationship, stuck in old patterns. As she approached 40, she realized change was no longer optional¿ it was essential. Her transformation began not with a grand plan, but with surrender-letting go of expectations of how she thought her life should be and embracing the unpredictable life unfolding before her. What followed was a series of profound, unexpected changes that reshaped her world. With raw honesty and vulnerability, Bridget invites readers into her story: walking away from a 20-year relationship, rediscovering ...
The New Zealand Project
By any measure, New Zealand must confront monumental issues in the years ahead. From the future of work to climate change, wealth inequality to new populism – these challenges are complex and even unprecedented. Yet why does New Zealand’s political discussion seem so diminished, and our political imagination unequal to the enormity of these issues? And why is this gulf particularly apparent to young New Zealanders? These questions sit at the centre of Max Harris’s ‘New Zealand project’. This book represents, from the perspective of a brilliant young New Zealander, a vision for confronting the challenges ahead. Unashamedly idealistic, The New Zealand Project arrives at a time of global upheaval that demands new conversations about our shared future.

Lady Bridget in the Never-Never Land
In "Lady Bridget in the Never-Never Land," Mrs. Campbell Praed crafts a rich narrative set against the backdrop of the Australian outback, exploring themes of cultural identity, colonialism, and personal transformation.

Campbell Praed, born in Aust...
