I Refuse to Condemn
In times of heightened national security, scholars and activists from the communities under suspicion often attempt to alert the public to the more complex stories behind the headlines. But when they raise questions about the government, military and police policy, these individuals are routinely shut down and accused of being terrorist sympathisers or apologists for gang culture. In such environments, there is immense pressure to condemn what society at large fears. This collection explains how the expectation to condemn has emerged, tracking it against the normalisation of racism, and explores how writers manage to subvert expectations as part of their commitment to anti-racism.
Peoples on Parade
Examines the phenomenon of human exhibitions in nineteenth-century Britain and considers how this legacy informs understandings of race and empire today.
Time Travelers
The Victorians, perhaps more than any Britons before them, were diggers and sifters of the past. Though they were not the first to be fascinated by history, the intensity and range of their preoccupations with the past were unprecedented and of lasting importance. The Victorians paved the way for our modern disciplines, discovered the primeval monsters we now call the dinosaurs, and built many of Britain’s most important national museums and galleries. To a large degree, they created the perceptual frameworks through which we continue to understand the past. Out of their discoveries, new histories emerged, giving rise to fresh debates, while seemingly well-known histories were thrown into confusion by novel tools and methods of scrutiny. If in the eighteenth century the study of the past had been the province of a handful of elites, new technologies and economic development in the nineteenth century meant that the past, in all its brilliant detail, was for the first time the property of the many, not the few. Time Travelers is a book about the myriad ways in which Victorians approached the past, offering a vivid picture of the Victorian world and its historical obsessions.

How We Met
You can't choose who you fall in love with, they say. If only it were that simple. Growing up in Walsall in the 1990s, Huma straddled two worlds - school and teenage crushes in one, and the expectations and unwritten rules of her family's south Asian social circle in the other. Reconciling the two was sometimes a tightrope act, but she managed it. Until it came to marriage.
Media, Home and Family

The Great Conspiracy
In a world where power and politics intertwine, an American presidential candidate emerges as a beacon of hope, promising change and progress. But behind the scenes, a deadly conspiracy brews, spanning continents and involving some of the most powerful nations on Earth. As the candidate’s popularity surges, a coalition of enemies grows increasingly desperate to prevent his rise to power. A covert assassination plot is set into motion, one that threatens to destabilize global politics and ignite a catastrophic war. The story follows a diverse cast of characters—seasoned CIA operatives, elite military forces, double agents, and high-ranking officials—each with their own agendas and secrets. As the clock ticks down, alliances are tested, loyalties are questioned, and the line between friend and foe blurs. The novel unfolds across multiple countries, with pulse-pounding action scenes, intricate political maneuvering, and unexpected twists that keep the reader guessing until the final pages.

The Essence of Islamist Extremism
This book provides a conceptual analysis of Islamist extremism and examines radical Islamist rhetoric and various extremist groups. Engaging in a conceptual analysis of Islamist extremism that focuses on the ‘what is’ and not the ‘why’ of Islamist extremism, the book extends the traditional parameters of analysis, from context-specific and temporally confined causal analyses to a broader conceptual analysis relevant to the many different temporal and geo-political contexts of Islamist extremist groups.
