For over 30 years, Willy Mutunga has blazed the trail in starting many important public conversations about remaking Kenya and the wider world into a better society. As a public intellectual, he has consistently challenged convenient stereotypes in an effort to bring down the social barriers erected by fear and ignorance, and led in persuading individuals and communities to re-examine widely held prejudices and to start difficult dialogues. Between 2006 and 2011, Mutunga wrote a weekly column in the Saturday Nation. It is from these contributions, under the pen name Cabral Pinto a combination of the surnames of the two African ideologues he greatly admired that the 146 articles in this volume are selected. The clarity of Willys moral voice is unmistakable on a broad variety of themes, ranging from exhortations for an alternative leadership that would deliver a human rights state, to an unapologetic call for mass action as a peaceful way to bring change. This collection by Cabral Pinto is the story of Kenyas long democracy struggle, told by a pro-democracy activist.

Ferreira-Ibarra, Dario C., Compiler. The Canon Law Collection of the Library of Congress: A General Bibliography with Selective Annotations. Washington: Library of Congress, 1981. xiii, 210 pp. 8-1/2" x 11." Reprinted 2004 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. LCCN 2003052789. ISBN 1-58477-366-9. Cloth. $150. * The Library of Congress has one of the largest collections of published Canon Law materials in the world. This bibliography, which includes all items catalogued before 1980, is thus a powerful guide to a body of legal literature that dates back to the birth of printing. The first three sections cover early editions of the Code of Canon Law, the code's historical foundations and the decisions of the Roman Rota, or the Church's jurisprudence. The remaining sections correspond exactly to the divisions of the Code of Canon Law and cover such subjects as persons, things, procedural law and crimes and penalties. Comprehensive author and subject indexes are included as well.
A obra que apresentamos ao público se propõe a refletir sobre o passado constitucional brasileiro no período republicano. Os textos do livro, escritos por professores/as e pesquisadoras/es que integram ou colaboram com o grupo de pesquisa "Percursos, Fragmentos, Narrativas", da Universidade de Brasília (UnB), reivindicam à nossa história constitucional um papel de destaque para compreendermos os desafios postos no presente, no campo da política, do direito e da sociedade. A história constitucional coloca no centro das suas indagações a Constituição, entendida como documento que responde às demandas de organização das sociedades modernas, que estrutura a comunicação entre o direito e a política, que interage com as ideologias e projetos de poder, com os diferentes anseios e disputas entre atores e sujeitos na vida social. Por isso, em variados recortes e temporalidades, as pesquisas falam sobre como nos constituímos como comunidade política e jurídica.
