Exploring issues of disability culture, activism, and policy across
the African continent, this volume argues for the recognition of
African disability studies as an important and emerging
interdisciplinary field. While the disability rights movement of
recent decades has a rich and well-documented history, it is a
history mostly focused on the Global North. Disability in Africa
presents an interdisciplinary approach to cultural, health, and
policy challenges that disability issues have raised throughout the
African continent. The volume draws on the achievements of
disability studies while acknowledging the demands and challenges
of particular African contexts. The authors bring diverse
methodological approaches and expertise to bear on these issues,
ranging from anthropology and bioethics to special education and
community rehabilitation. Essays consider indigenously African
definitions of disability as well as exploring disability at the
intersection of poverty, geography, and globalized biopolitics.
Contributors analyze the difficulties of implementing disability
policy across the continent while also being mindful of successful
approaches taken at local, national, and international levels.
Disability in Africa thus charts new avenues for disability studies
research in and about Africa.
This book presents the Transformational Indigenous Praxis Model
(TIPM), an innovative framework for promoting critical
consciousness toward decolonization efforts among educators. The
TIPM challenges readers to examine how even the most well intended
educators are complicit in reproducing ethnic stereotypes, racist
actions, deficit-based ideology, and recolonization. Drawing from
decades of collaboration with teachers and school leaders serving
Indigenous children and communities, this volume will help
educators better support the development of their students'
critical thinking skills. Representing a holistic balance, the text
is organized in four sections: Birth-Grade 12 and Community
Education, Teacher Education, Higher Education, and Educational
Leadership. Unsettling Settler-Colonial Education centers the needs
of teachers, children, families, and communities that are currently
engaged in public education and who deserve an improved experience
today, while also committing to more positive Indigenous
futurities.Book Features: Introduces the TIPM as a structure that
supports educators in decolonizing and indigenizing their
practices. Provides examples of how pathway-making across a variety
of settings takes shape on the TIPM continuum. Highlights a diverse
group of authors who are making major contributions to the
transformation agendas of Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing.
Includes a brief summary of the TIPM dimensions with examples of
the challenges that educators face as they expand their critical
consciousness toward decolonization. Follows Native oral traditions
by sharing lessons, research, and personal lived experience.
Identifies the deficit ideological underpinnings that frame
Indigenous students' school experiences. Employs a metaphor of wave
jumping to illustrate how educators working to decolonize their
practice can gain forward momentum with time and energy even while
facing resistance. Provides a methodology to promote healing and
cultural restoration of Indigenous peoples.
Scotland, 1830. Following the death of her husband, Lady Darby has
taken refuge at her sister's estate, finding solace in her passion
for painting. But when her hosts throw a house party for the cream
of London society, Kiera is unable to hide from the ire of those
who believe her to be as unnatural as her husband, an anatomist who
used her artistic talents to suit his own macabre purposes.
Kiera wants to put her past aside, but when one of the house
guests is murdered, her brother-in-law asks her to utilize her
knowledge of human anatomy to aid the insufferable Sebastian
Gage--a fellow guest with some experience as an inquiry agent.
While Gage is clearly more competent than she first assumed, Kiera
isn't about to let her guard down as accusations and rumors swirl.
When Kiera and Gage's search leads them to even more gruesome
discoveries, a series of disturbing notes urges Lady Darby to give
up the inquiry. But Kiera is determined to both protect her family
and prove her innocence, even as she risks becoming the next
victim...
"Scotland, 1830. "Following the death of her dear friend, Lady
Kiera Darby is in need of a safe haven. Returning to her childhood
home, Kiera hopes her beloved brother Trevor and the merriment of
the Hogmanay Ball will distract her. But when a caretaker is
murdered and a grave is disturbed at nearby Dryburgh Abbey, Kiera
is once more thrust into the cold grasp of death.
While Kiera knows that aiding in another inquiry will only further
tarnish her reputation, her knowledge of anatomy could make the
difference in solving the case. But agreeing to investigate means
Kiera must deal with the complicated emotions aroused in her by
inquiry agent Sebastian Gage.
When Gage arrives, he reveals that the incident at the Abbey was
not the first--some fiend is digging up old bones and holding them
for ransom. Now Kiera and Gage must catch the grave robber and put
the case to rest...before another victim winds up six feet
under.

1930s horror starring Boris Karloff as a scientist warped by the
power he gains from one of his own discoveries. When Dr Laurience
(Karloff) retires to an isolated house to research the origins of
the human mind and soul with a surgeon, Clare (Anna Lee), and a man
confined to a wheelchair, Clayton (Donald Calthrop), he is scorned
by his scientific peers. However, Laurience succeeds in discovering
a means of mind-transference: the ability to swap the mental
faculties of any two people and thus to take possession of the
bodies of others. But will he use the power wisely?
Preventing Domestic Homicides: Lessons Learned from Tragedies
focuses on the diverse nature of domestic homicides and what has
been learned about the most effective prevention strategies from
emerging research and the work of domestic violence death review
committees in Canada, the US, the UK, NZ and AU. Each chapter
focuses on different populations-specifically older women, youth
dating relationships, indigenous women, immigrant and refugee
populations, rural/remote communities, same-sex relationships,
homicides with police & military, domestic homicide in the
workplace, and children killed in the context of domestic violence.
Topics cover current research, risk factors, and include case
studies from domestic homicide review committees. Cases are
summarized regarding major themes and recommendations, such as
public awareness, professional training, risk assessment,
intervention and collaboration amongst service systems. Written for
academic and domestic violence researchers in sociology,
criminology, psychology and psychiatry by global contributors with
on-the-ground domestic homicide experience.
Why is it that in the '90s, business in California's Silicon Valley
flourished, while along Route 128 in Massachusetts it declined? The
answer, Annalee Saxenian suggests, has to do with the fact that
despite similar histories and technologies, Silicon Valley
developed a decentralized but cooperative industrial system while
Route 128 came to be dominated by independent, self-sufficient
corporations. The result of more than one hundred interviews, this
compelling analysis highlights the importance of local sources of
competitive advantage in a volatile world economy.
