Rosemary and the Book of the Dead
Rosemary and the Book of the Dead is the sequel to the bestselling Rosemary and the Witches of Pendle Hill by Emmerdale actor Samantha Giles. Everything has been back to normal in Rosemary's world since her witch and wizard houseguests disappeared - her dad's cloud has gone away, her mum's been around more, and her little sister, Lois, has been windier than ever. So when an ancient artefact goes missing from the British Museum and her mum returns from her new soap-opera gig with actual holes in her body, Rosemary knows something bad is happening, and she and the gang are the only ones who can crack this latest mystery. Travelling through secret underground tunnels across the country, around the Egyptian desert, and into the Great Sphinx of Giza, Rosemary, Adi, and Lois must solve a series of riddles and save the Book of the Dead before the evil Mal Vine beats them to it and her mother disappears entirely forever.

Total Recall
Poetry. Hybrid Genre. Women's Studies. TOTAL RECALL is, at its root, a memoir about memory. Yet in this chronology by Samantha Giles, the roots twist, double over and fold back on themselves in a narrative fractured by sexual, physical and emotional trauma. Part essay part poem, in this perseveration on how the body holds and discards the banality and sustainability of trauma, Giles questions how to know what you know when everything including your brain conspires to doubt you. "A book that so powerfully and strangely melds autobiography, poetry, ethnography, philosophical inquiry, and testimony: that would have been enough. But on top of that, Samantha Giles manages to make TOTAL RECALL a p...
Deadfalls and Snares
Poetry. "Under current conditions of militarization and state sponsored torture, DEADFALLS & SNARES stands among our moment's bravest and most necessary works of poetry. Beyond comfortable notions of complicity and witness, Samantha Giles's writing transforms our desire to see into an ability to parse like a sentient grammarian the relations between subject and object, torturer and tortured, as they fuse with our interiors. In other words, 'it's us in / what already happened / in the way that it shifts / in its visibility / it's us.' Reading these poems while guided by conventions of collective spectatorship, we catch ourselves perversely trying to refamiliarize what Giles has so successfully defamiliarized, and in doing so, the double bind of our ethical conundrum becomes acutely perceptible." Rob Halpern"
Rosemary and the Witches of Pendle Hill
My Mum is a witch. I know this to be a fact because: a) She has a broomstick by the front door. b) She does spells sometimes. c) There are 4 other witches who live with us, that only me, Mum and Lois see. We don't really question their comings and goings.

Participation
Participatory techniques have established themselves in both project implementation in developing countries and community interventions in industrial countries. Recently, participation has been fashionably dismissed as more rhetoric than substance, and subject to manipulation by agents pursuing their own agendas under cover of community consent. In this important new volume, development and other social policy scholars and practitioners seek to rebut this simplistic conclusion. They show how participation can help produce genuine transformation for marginalized communities. This volume is the first comprehensive attempt to evaluate the state of participatory approaches in the aftermath of the "Tyranny" critique. It captures the recent convergence between participatory development and participatory governance. It revisits the question of popular agency, as well as spanning the range of institutional actors involved--the state, civil society and donor agencies. The volume embeds participation within contemporary advances in development theory.

Hurdis Addo
Poetry. In this brilliant meditation on urban space and our place(s) within it, Samantha Giles confronts head on the question of 'what is to be done?" "Start with a circle or something like it. Fear maybe. Circle as a symbol for the whole." Through a shifting, multilayered account structured around the 148 murders that occurred in Oakland in 2006, Giles takes us deep into the core of a set of urban contradictions and the subjectivities produced by them and begins the necessary work of asking where we might start to find a somewhere else. "A gall is a symbol. A tricky agreement with allegory. The gall operates as a symbol to the plant. Is this text a plant or a gall?"
