This edited volume brings together well-established and emerging scholars of transitional justice to discuss the persistence of amnesty in the age of human rights accountability. The volume attempts to reframe debates, moving beyond the limited approaches of 'truth versus justice' or 'stability versus accountability' in which many of these issues have been cast in the existing scholarship. The theoretical and empirical contributions in this book offer new ways of understanding and tackling the enduring persistence of amnesty in the age of accountability. In addition to cross-national studies, the volume encompasses eleven country cases of amnesty for past human rights violations: Argentina, Brazil, Cambodia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Indonesia, Rwanda, South Africa, Spain, Uganda and Uruguay. The volume goes beyond merely describing these case studies, but also considers what we learn from them in terms of overcoming impunity and promoting accountability to contribute to improvements in human rights and democracy.

Shipwreck, death, and survival; terror, hunger, and salvation -- these are the experiences of those onboard merchant Portuguese ships in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In this book we see how the dramatic, compelling, and often gory accounts of shipwreck, collected in Historia Tragico-Maritima (1735-36), or The Tragic History of the Sea, challenge state-sponsored versions of events. Manifest Perdition reveals the important place of these stories in literary history and shows -- for the first time -- how they serve as both a product of and a resistance to Iberian expansion and colonialism.

Under the guidance of the spirit Leon Denis, the spirit author Camilo Castelo Branco, using the pen name Camilo Cândido Botelho, describes to the médium Yvonne A. Pereira, his dreadful experience after having discarnated by committing suicide. The book entails invaluable instruction, demonstrating the greatness of the Divine Mercy toward repentant suicides and providing them with the opportunity to understand the universe and life in its fullest dimension. The beginnings of planet Earth, the evolution of the human being, the immortality of the soul, Christian morality, and other relevant themes are presented for the understanding that “… no attempt at moral growth will work if we remain imprisoned in self-ignorance.” A complete reading of this work shows that there is a road of reconstruction for those who repent. There is always hope because rehabilitation is possible.
