Migrant Protest and Democratic States of Exception
Recognizing the radical disparity between migration/border policy and constitutional law “inside these borders,” Kathleen R. Arnold focuses on two main forms of migrant protest to explore the meaning of resistance in a sovereign context: self-harming protest by detainees and faith-based sanctuary of individuals scheduled for detention. This activism creates a “democratic state of exception,” interrupting the legal process, altering discretionary forms of sovereign power, and enacting rights not formally granted; these efforts go beyond the assertion of liberal rights or merely restoring the rule of law (even if these are also goals), challenging the warfare state while constituting a demos that is formally illegible. Migrant Protest and Democratic States of Exception will be of interest to scholars, migrant advocacy professionals (including INGO and IGO officers), graduate students, and advanced undergraduate students in a variety of fields from legal studies to forced migration and refugee studies, political science, human rights, protest history, and contemporary movements.

Quinn's Saving Grace
Sparks fly in this forced proximity romance when a physical therapist is expected to work a miracle for a broken palace guard who doesn’t believe she can. When the king of St. Chardemont ordered Sarah Grace to an island in northern Michigan, she wanted to say no. But she went. And she stayed, even though the patient she’d been sent to help wanted nothing to do with her. After a fall from a cliff changed Quinn MacMahon’s life, all he wanted was to be left alone. But it wasn’t in the cards. Or at least not in his cards, because no one will leave him alone. Not his doctor. Not the guards and nurses assigned to care for him. And certainly not the new therapist, whose only degree seems to be in torturing her patients. Then, she made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. Give her two months. If he can honestly say he’s not better at the end of that time, she’ll leave. The problem is, the more Quinn gets to know Sarah, the more he wants her to stay. If you enjoy your romance with a little intrigue, secrets, and even some danger, The Casteloria Royals is a series you can't help but fall in love with. Each story is complete with no cliffhanger endings.
