Gender Inequality and Women’s Citizenship combines cases across
Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago to highlight the
range of systemic inequalities that impact women in the
Anglo-Caribbean. Using empirical and secondary data and drawing on
feminist theoretical insights, Yonique Campbell and Tracy-Ann
Johnson-Myers examine a range of pertinent and intersecting social,
political and economic challenges facing women in the
Anglo-Caribbean. The issues explored include gender-based violence,
barriers to women in politics, the effects of COVID-19 on women,
and debates around the illegality of abortion rights and failure to
protect the health of women by allowing them to exercise autonomy
over their bodies. They raise questions about systemic inequalities
resulting from patriarchal gender relations, heteronormativity,
women's social and economic status, and state inaction. This book
is unique in its interdisciplinary analysis of gender inequality in
the Anglo-Caribbean, mapping the intersection of women’s multiple
identities and positionalities to determine the obstacles they
encounter. It will be of interest to scholars and researchers of
International Relations, Caribbean Studies, Gender and Sexuality
Studies, Development Studies, Sociology and Anthropology.

This valuable self-help book for people affected by cancer, their
loved ones and friends focuses on self-care when life hurts. It
explores the impact of cancer and explains why the usual ways of
coping may leave people stuck. The first book of its kind to focus
on the scientifically based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
approach, it helps people to find ways to cope with painful
thoughts and feelings, and to rebuild a meaningful life despite the
cancer. With an emphasis on value-based living the book illustrates
skills such as mindfulness and the development of acceptance to
help people affected by cancer to participate in a fuller life and
gain a greater sense of well-being. It combines evidence-based
practice with the experiences of people who are living with cancer
in the form of numerous quotations throughout, as well as paper and
pencil 'thought' exercises. Living Your Life with Cancer through
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people affected by cancer
to feel more able to sit with the uncertainty of their future, show
themselves kindness and compassion and to learn to be true to
themselves, no matter what the cancer throws at them. It is also
important reading for psychological therapists working in oncology.
From trauma educator and somatic guide Kimberly Ann Johnson comes a
cutting-edge guide for tapping into the wisdom and resilience of
the body to rewire the nervous system, heal from trauma, and live
fully. In an increasingly polarized world where trauma is often
publicly renegotiated, our nervous systems are on high alert. From
skyrocketing rates of depression and anxiety to physical illnesses
such as autoimmune diseases and digestive disorders, many women
today find themselves living out of alignment with their bodies.
Kimberly Johnson is a somatic practitioner, birth doula, and
postpartum educator who specializes in helping women recover from
all forms of trauma. In her work, she's seen the same themes play
out time and again. In a culture that prioritizes executive
function and "mind over matter," many women are suffering from
deeply unresolved pain that causes mental and physical stagnation
and illness. In Call of the Wild, Johnson offers an eye-opening
look at this epidemic as well as an informative view of the human
nervous system and how it responds to difficult events. From the
"small t" traumas of getting ghosted, experiencing a fall-out with
a close friend, or swerving to avoid a car accident to the "capital
T" traumas of sexual assault, an upending natural disaster, or a
life-threatening illness-Johnson explains how the nervous system
both protects us from immediate harm and creates reverberations
that ripple through a lifetime. In this practical, empowering
guide, Johnson shows readers how to metabolize these nervous system
responses, allowing everyone to come home to their deepest, most
intuitive and whole selves. Following her supportive advice,
readers will learn how to move from wholeness, tapping into the
innate wisdom of their senses, soothing frayed nerves and
reconnecting with their "animal selves." While we cannot cure the
painful cultural rifts inflicting our society, there is a path
forward-through our bodies.
There is everyday magic in the tales of London. Some stories are
swirling in the waters of the Thames; some are hidden in the old
stones that lie beneath our modern pavements. In London Folk Tales
for Children Anne and Sef have gathered stories from the words and
memories of Londoners past and present. They tell of the mighty
river, the streets, and the hills of London. You'll find stories of
babies that turn into flowers, of tower ravens and a two-headed
bird, and a child who has to travel across the world all alone.
You'll also meet the people of this welcoming city: ever since the
Romans, people have come here from all over the world to become
Londoners. They've brought delicious foods, new music and hundreds
of languages, but, most of all, great stories - London stories.
Traditionally, the most preferred social research methods in
dementia studies have been interviews, focus groups and
non-participant observations. Most of these methods have been used
for a long time by researchers in other social research fields, but
their application to the field of dementia studies is a relatively
new phenomenon. A ground-breaking book, Social Research Methods in
Dementia Studies shows researchers how to adapt their methods of
data collection to address the individual needs of someone who is
living with dementia. With an editorial team that includes Ann
Johnson, a trained nurse and person living with dementia, this
enlightening volume mainly draws its contents from two
interdisciplinary social research teams in dementia, namely the
Center for Dementia Research [CEDER] at Linkoeping University in
Norrkoeping, Sweden and the Dementia and Ageing Research Team
[DART] at The University of Manchester in Manchester, UK. Case
examples are shared in each of the main chapters to help ground the
social research method(s) in a real-life context and provide
direction as to how learning can be applied to other settings.
Chapters also contain key references and recommended reading. This
volume will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students, as
well as postdoctoral researchers, interested in fields such as:
Research Methods, Qualitative Methods and Dementia Studies.

In the thirty-five years since China instituted its One-Child
Policy, 120,000 children mostly girls have left China through
international adoption, including 85,000 to the United States. It's
generally assumed that this diaspora is the result of China's
approach to population control, but there is also the underlying
belief that the majority of adoptees are daughters because the
One-Child Policy often collides with the traditional preference for
a son. While there is some truth to this, it does not tell the full
story a story with deep personal resonance to Kay Ann Johnson, a
China scholar and mother to an adopted Chinese daughter. Johnson
spent years talking with the Chinese parents driven to relinquish
their daughters during the brutal birth-planning campaigns of the
1990s and early 2000s, and, with China's Hidden Children, she
paints a startlingly different picture. The decision to give up a
daughter, she shows, is not a facile one, but one almost always
fraught with grief and dictated by fear. Were it not for the
constant threat of punishment for breaching the country's stringent
birth-planning policies, most Chinese parents would have raised
their daughters despite the cultural preference for sons. With
clear understanding and compassion for the families, Johnson
describes their desperate efforts to conceal the birth of second or
third daughters from the authorities. As the Chinese government
cracked down on those caught concealing an out-of-plan child,
strategies for surrendering children changed from arranging
adoptions or sending them to live with rural family to secret
placement at carefully chosen doorsteps and, finally, abandonment
in public places. In the twenty-first century, China's so-called
abandoned children have increasingly become "stolen" children, as
declining fertility rates have left the dwindling number of
children available for adoption more vulnerable to child
trafficking. In addition, government seizures of locally but
illegally adopted children and children hidden within their birth
families mean that even legal adopters have unknowingly adopted
children taken from parents and sent to orphanages. The image of
the "unwanted daughter" remains commonplace in Western conceptions
of China. With China's Hidden Children, Johnson reveals the complex
web of love, secrecy, and pain woven in the coerced decision to
give one's child up for adoption and the profound negative impact
China's birth-planning campaigns have on Chinese families.
This Brief discusses the adoption of the mixed member proportional
(MMP) electoral system in New Zealand and its subsequent effect on
representation for women. Concerns about the homogeneity of the
legislature under the Single Member Plurality electoral system and
the need for increased representativeness and greater
proportionality of party preference lead to the changeover in 1996.
The book addresses the question of whether an increase in
descriptive representation for women in New Zealand's House of
Representatives has translated to policy outcomes that are
beneficial to them. It also examines the extent to which female MPs
meet the expectation that they will act for members of their
groups; pushing minority and gender-friendly legislation and
policies into the political arena. Finally, it raises questions
about where women are found in New Zealand's decision making bodies
and what influence they might have on policy outcomes. The first
book to examine the effects of the MMP system on female descriptive
and substantive representation using a case study analysis, this
Brief adds to the literature on electoral systems and women's
political representation. This book will be of use to political
science students at both the undergraduate and graduate level,
particularly those interested in electoral studies, political
institutions, politics and gender, and minority representation.

"There is real life in Sarah Anne Johnson's new book, and genuine
family drama too, all grounded in an authoritative evocation of old
Cape Cod's waterways, marshes, and waterfront towns. The Last
Sailor is memorable, clearly seen, and deeply felt."—Jon Clinch,
author of Marley and Finn From the author of The Lightkeeper's Wife
comes a poignant and powerful historical novel about grief,
redemption, and brotherhood set on the shores of Cape Cod. Cape
Cod, 1898: All that Nathaniel Boyd wants is to be left alone. His
hopes of marriage died years ago, not long after the storms and the
seas and the sails took away his youngest brother. He'd rather be
in the marshes of Cape Cod, with their predictable rhythms and no
emotion. The Cape doesn't blame him for the accident. The other
Boyd brother, Finn, dives headlong into his fish trading company,
trying to prove something to himself. When their father asks the
brothers to sail a schooner down from Boston to their harbor
village, he didn't expect them to bring back a young girl fleeing
her home, much less a girl who slips off the boat and nearly
drowns. The Boyd men take Rachel to the nearest home to the
harbor—that of Nathaniel's first love, Meredith. As Rachel's
recovery brings Nathaniel back into Meredith's world, nothing will
be the same. And when their father dies and upends the world as
they know it, Finn spins into a violent rage. Nathaniel will be
forced to sail his own ship, taking command of his family and of
his future. For fans of Sold on a Monday by Kristina McMorris and
Lost Boy Found by Kirsten Alexander, The Last Sailor is the
painful, but hopeful story of two boys scarred by the loss of their
brother, and the men they know they must become.
Did you know that there are more than twenty-one rivers in London?
Many of them have been forced underground by the development of the
city but they all have their own history and their own stories to
tell, from Roman times to the present day. Anne and Sef have
dredged these tales from the silt, bringing them to the surface for
you to enjoy. Tales of mudlarks and refugees; a pirate queen and
Vikings; a young boy running away from enslavement, and many more
all flow through the pages of this collection. Seas and oceans have
been crossed, dangers overcome, and these ancestors of ours come to
life as they tell their stories once more.
This edited volume brings new perspectives on the topic maritime
archaeology of the slave trade in the Caribbean. The book focuses
on shipwrecks of the slave trade in the 18th century and suggests
that there is a more complex and challenging social narrative than
has previously been discussed. The authors examine biographies of
ships, crew members, voyage logs, cargo inventories, trader
correspondence and contextual analysis of the artifact assemblages
to bring new insights into the microeconomics and maritime
traditions of these floating prisons. The illustrious biography of
Captain Edward Thache (aka Blackbeard) reveals past identities as a
naval officer, slave trader, and pirate. Categories of artifacts in
archaeological collections represent cultural connections and
traditions of enslaved Africans. The volume includes several case
studies that inform these narratives and examines slave ships such
as la Concorde, Henrietta Marie, Whydah, La Marie Seraphique and
Marquis de Bouillé. Within the larger context of slave trade
during the 18th century, authors explore legal and illegal trade in
the British West Indies. These studies also address the plethora of
social, political, and environmental impacts on these island
communities that played an integral and strategic role in slave
trade economics. This volume presents up-to-date research of
professional maritime historians, artifact curators, and marine
archaeologists drawing upon primary source documents, artwork, and
material culture. The research collaborators reconstruct the
international spheres of colonial North America, Europe, Africa,
and West Indies. It is an interwoven narrative, both unique and
typical, to the social and economic dynamics of 18th century
Atlantic World.

Just because many students are raised communicating through
technology doesn't mean they know how to use it effectively.
Knowing how to share ideas is as crucial as the ideas themselves
and unfortunately, many students don't get explicit opportunities
to hone this skill. This book provides real world insights into how
students will be expected to communicate in their future careers
and education strategies for teaching communication skills
throughout the curriculum.
For use after the AEPS (R)-3 Test, the AEPS (R)-3 Curriculum is an

available. In this volume, professionals will find: a complete
introduction to the curriculum's foundations, content, and
organization helpful guidelines for selecting goals and outcomes
strategies for matching tiered teaching/intervention
strategies-universal, focused, and specialized supports-with young
children's individual needs instructions on collecting progress
monitoring data at each teaching/intervention tier evidence-based
