Sown in Tears
This book details my personal experiences and those of many persons who I have co-mourned with during their time of the loss of loved ones. At some point in our lives or maybe for the rest of our lives we will grieve. But grief is not a problem to be solved, it is a reality to engage and learn to incorporate into our lives. It is not to be placed on the periphery, treating it as a nuisance to be avoided. The reflections contained in this book span the range of emotions and consequences of grief in an honest, balanced way that refuses to explain away or deny grief. Grief is a journey, but never go it alone.
Decolonising Restorative Justice
This book critically examines the colonial dimensions of restorative justice through the lens of justice policy reform in Jamaica. Restorative justice is not new. Practices of restitution can be found throughout history, predominantly in non-Western traditions and religions. One of the key principles of restorative practices is contextualisation. That is, restorative practices are developed and embedded within the political, economic, and cultural context of the communities in which they are practised. Many of the countries that have gone on to develop restorative justice as part of their formal justice system have developed their policy on the model of their indigenous communities – for e...
Holding Shadows
The question I pose as the basis for this book is this- What if we normalize grief in such a way that we acknowledge and support grievers who have lost relationships, jobs, health and not only when someone dies? Imagine giving a card to a friend after the loss of a job, or when they were denied a promotion they worked really hard for. How radical that would be but also how cathartic! In order to better understand and manage grief we must first normalize grieving both for the living and the dead. I know this means that it takes some of the mystery out of grief and grieving. This is an important development in managing and understanding grief. I will address grief by unpacking and defining it beyond just the physical death of a loved one.
Tragic Soul-Life
Drawing insight from W.E. B. Du Bois, Frederick Douglass and Toni Morrison, Terrence L. Johnson recasts the debate on the proper role of religion in politics as one about liberalism's failure to address the moral issues implicated in human suffering, subjugation and death as they emerge within political responses to antiblack racism, imperialism and sexism.
Ethics and War

Subnationalism in Africa
This examination of the politics of ethnicity and nation-building in Africa stresses the trend towards subnationalist autonomy and away from a singular, state-centric system based on the Western model. Forrest ranges across the continent to explore a variety of subnational movements.
African Democracy and Development

The countries that are addressed in the book include: Rwanda, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In addition, there is a chapter that addresses the role of the African Diaspora in conflict and post-conflict countries that include Eritrea, Liberia, and Somalia. The book includes an examination of the various actors who are involved in post-conflict rebuilding a...
The United Nations Genocide Convention
THE UNCG is a complicated piece of international law. This book, authored by two experts on the topic of genocide, enables readers to more accurately analyze these horrific events.
Good Fences, Bad Neighbors
Border fixity—the proscription of foreign conquest and the annexation of homeland territory—has, since World War II, become a powerful norm in world politics. This development has been said to increase stability and peace in international relations. Yet, in a world in which it is unacceptable to challenge international borders by force, sociopolitically weak states remain a significant source of widespread conflict, war, and instability. In this book, Boaz Atzili argues that the process of state building has long been influenced by external territorial pressures and competition, with the absence of border fixity contributing to the evolution of strong states—and its presence to the sur...
Critical Interventions in Caribbean Politics and Theory
These essays by Brian Meeks, a noted public intellectual in the Caribbean, reflect on Caribbean politics, particularly radical politics and ideologies in the postcolonial era. But his essays also explain the peculiarities of the contemporary neo-liberal period while searching for pathways beyond the current plight. In the first chapters, titled “Theoretical Forays,” Meeks makes a conscious attempt to engage with contemporary Caribbean political thought at a moment of flux and search for a relevant theoretical language and style to both explicate the Caribbean’s recent past and confront the difficult conditions of the early twenty-first century. The next part, “Caribbean Questions,”...
