The World of Child Labor
"The World of Child Labor" details both the current and historical state of child labor in each region of the world, focusing on its causes, consequences, and cures.

Blood, Land, and Sex
In Eritrea, state, traditional, and religious laws equally prevail, but any of these legal systems may be put into play depending upon the individual or individuals involved in a legal dispute. Because of conflicting laws, it has been difficult for Eritreans to come to a consensus on what constitutes their legal system. In Blood, Land, and Sex, Lyda Favali and Roy Pateman examine the roles of the state, ethnic groups, religious groups, and the international community in several key areas of Eritrean law -- blood feud or murder, land tenure, gender relations (marriage, prostitution, rape), and female genital surgery. Favali and Pateman explore the intersections of the various laws and discuss how change can be brought to communities where legal ambiguity prevails, often to the grave harm of women and other powerless individuals. This significant book focuses on how Eritrea and other newly emerging democracies might build pluralist legal systems that will be acceptable to an ethnically and religiously diverse population.

Children’s Rights and the Minimum Age of Criminal Responsibility
Children of almost any age can break the law, but at what age should children first face the possibility of criminal responsibility for their alleged crimes? This work is the first global analysis of national minimum ages of criminal responsibility (MACRs), the international legal obligations that surround them, and the principal considerations for establishing and implementing respective age limits. Taking an international children's rights approach, with a rich theoretical framework and the vitality of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, this work maintains a critical perspective, such as in challenging the assumptions of many children's rights scholars and advocates. Compiling the age limits and statutory sources for all countries, this book explains the broad historical origins behind most of them, identifying the recurring practical challenges that affect every country and providing the first comprehensive evidence that a general principle of international law requires all nations, regardless of their treaty ratifications, to establish respective minimum age limits.
Nederlandse moslims
De moslims in de Nederlandse samenleving zijn onderwerp van debat, ook onder moslims zelf. De aanslagen van 9-11 en de moord op Van Gogh hebben veel emoties losgemaakt en vragen opgeroepen, vooral over de radicalisering van kleine groepen moslims, hun banden met de islamitische wereld, de rol van imams, de man-vrouw verhoudingen en de integratie van jongeren. Nederlandse moslims: van migrant tot burger gaat over migratie en intergratie, islamitische organisaties en geloofsbeleving, jongerencultuur en het islamdebat. De auteurs bekijken welke rol religieuze en andere waarden spelen en hoe deze veranderen. In kaderteksten wordt ingegaan op specifieke kwesties die vaak met de islam geassocieerd worden. In dertien beschrijvende profielen worden moslim-mannen en -vrouwen die optreden in het publieke debat beschreven. Als aanvulling bevat het boek een cd-rom met geluids- en videofragmenten met onder meer Hirsi Ali en Ali B. Daarnaast krijgt de lezer een kijkje in een moskee. Nederlandse moslims is een prikkelend themaboek, geschreven als leidraad voor iedereen die een genuanceerd oordeel wil vormen in het debat over moslims in Nederland.
