How can schools best prepare themselves to successfully educate
refugee children? By focusing on the education of refugee children,
this book takes a rare look at a subject of increasing significance
in current educational spheres. Highlighting the many difficulties
facing refugee children, the editors draw upon a wealth of
international experience and resources to present a broad,
informative and sensitive text. Educational Interventions for
Refugee Children identifies school-based interventions, whilst
suggesting methods and measures with which to assess the efficacy
of such programmes. It also develops a useful model that provides a
standard for assessing refugee experience, offering diagnostic
indicators for: * Evaluating support services for refugee children
* Future avenues of research * Practical implications of creating
supportive educational environments for refugee children The need
to identify and prepare for the education of refugee children is an
international issue, and this is reflected in the broad outlook and
appeal of this book. The editors have developed an overall model of
refugee experience, integrating psychological, cultural and
educational perspectives, which researchers, practitioners and
policy makers in education will find invaluable.

 Lyrical poetry offering multilayered examinations of
injustices—from mass incarceration to failing schools and
right-wing fascism.  Richard Hamilton’s second poetry
collection, Discordant, is a searing examination of injustice both
within the United States and abroad, from criticisms of the US
military-industrial complex and failing healthcare system to
multilayered observations of marginalization through the lenses of
race, class, gender, and sexuality. Hamilton’s poems look closely
at increased austerity measures, commitment to mass incarceration
and private prisons, disdain for workers and labor resistance, the
expansion of the US military budget, the disappearance of federal
subsidies for the working poor, failing schools and teacher
shortages, market inflation and price gouging, and the rising tide
of right-wing fascism. Hamilton’s lyrical writing brings together
free-form essays and personal narratives full of keen-eyed and
urgent observations. Told from the perspective of a speaker who is
unemployed and pensive, Hamilton shows how history haunts us while
keeping the present in the foreground, constantly challenging
oppression that has long been commonplace. Discordant won the 2022
CAAPP Book Prize, selected by Evie Shockley. Â

Marrakech is the heart and lifeblood of Morocco's ancient
storytelling tradition. For nearly a thousand years, storytellers
have gathered in the Jemaa el Fna, the legendary square of the
city, to recount ancient folktales and fables to rapt audiences.
But this unique chain of oral tradition that has passed seamlessly
from generation to generation is teetering on the brink of
extinction. The competing distractions of television, movies and
the internet have drawn the crowds away from the storytellers and
few have the desire to learn the stories and continue their legacy.
Richard Hamilton has witnessed at first hand the death throes of
this rich and captivating tradition and, in the labyrinth of the
Marrakech medina, has tracked down the last few remaining
storytellers, recording stories that are replete with the mysteries
and beauty of the Maghreb.
