This new book aims to explore the key issues and debates
surrounding the question of the incorporation and
institutionalisation of restorative justice within existing penal
and criminal justice systems, an increasingly pressing issue given
the rapid spread of restorative justice worldwide at both national
and international levels. In doing so it aims to build bridges
between those concerned with the practical institutionalisation of
restorative justice on the one hand, and those engaged in more
theoretical aspects of penal development and analysis on the other.
It offers conceptual tools and a theoretical framework to help make
sense of these developments, reflecting expertise drawn from
analysis of developments in Europe, North America and Australasia.
For introductory World or Global history classes, especially those
that cover the nineteenth- and twentieth-centuries; upper-division
courses on global imperialism in the modern era. Imperialism in the
Modern World combines narrative, primary and secondary sources, and
visual documents to examine global relations in the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries. The three co-editors, Professors Bowman,
Chiteji, and Greene, have taught for many years global history
classes in a variety of institutions. They wrote Imperialism in the
Modern World to solve the problem of allowing teachers to combine
primary and secondary texts easily and systematically to follow
major themes in global history (some readers use primary materials
exclusively. Some focus on secondary arguments). This book is more
focused than other readers on the markets for those teachers who
are offering more specialized world history courses--one important
trend in global history is away from simply trying to cover
everything to teaching real connections in more chronologically and
thematically focused courses. invites students to study seriously
world history from a critical framework. Too many readers offer a
smorgasbord approach to world history that leaves students dazed
and confused. This reader avoids that approach and will therefore
solve many problems that teachers have in constructing and teaching
world history courses at the introductory or upper-division levels.
The reader will allow show students how to read historical
documents through a hands-on demonstration in the introduction. The
book also incorporates images as visual documents. Finally, the
book conceives of global history in the widest possible terms; it
contains pieces on political, diplomatic, economic, and military
history, to be sure, but it also has selections on technology,
medicine, women, the environment, social changes, and cultural
patterns. Other readers can not match this text's breadth because
they are chronologically and thematically so extended.
Publishing for the 75th anniversary of the Partition of India in
August 2022, this book is a unique exploration of the rich and
complicated history of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Britain.
There are many ways of telling the same story, and how you tell it
depends on your point of view. Some stories are so complicated, or
difficult to explain, that they're not often told at all. Like the
story of how a company ended up running a country, or how one man
drawing a line on a map could change the lives of millions of
people forever. This book aims to piece together the interesting,
surprising, and sometimes very sad story of India, Pakistan,
Bangladesh, and Britain, and how these countries have shaped one
another over the centuries. From exploring the vast empires and
amazing inventions of ancient India, to revealing the challenges
faced by South Asian migrants to Britain - or celebrating the
amazing culture, innovations, inventions, and achievements of
British people of South Asian heritage today - this book shows how
the past, present and future of these four countries will always be
intertwined. Written by Donna and Vikesh Amey Bhatt who were
inspired to write this book for their two young sons, with
consultancy by Rajbir Hazelwood, historian of South Asia and Modern
Britain, Lands of Belonging includes an exploration of the impact
of British rule over India (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh were all
one country at the time), from the foundation of the East India
Company to India's involvement in supporting Britain during both
World Wars, to India's fight for independence and the British
government's decision to Partition the country, resulting in the
largest migration of people in history.
This single volume traces three approaches to the "study" of the
Holocaust--through notions of history, theories of memory, and a
focus on art and representation. It introduces readers to the
different ways we have come to "understand" the Holocaust, gives
them an opportunity to ask questions about those conclusions, and
examines how this event can be understood once all the survivors
are gone. In addition, the book looks at the different disciplines
-- history, sociology, religious studies, and literary
interpretation, among others -- through which studies of the
Holocaust take place. A three section organization covers history,
the treatment of eyewitness and the testimonies produced by them,
and the possibility of literature and other arts presenting a
better understanding of Holocaust events than the former. MARKET
For individuals interested in a historical interpretation of the
Holocaust-- even more complex and troubling than the event itself.
