Set more than one hundred years after the Borden murders, this
propulsive, supernatural thriller imagines what might happen if history
were to repeat itself today. Perfect for fans of Kara Thomas and
Courtney Summers!
When Mariella Morse accuses her boyfriend, Vik Gomez, of murdering her
wealthy parents with an axe, the town is quick to believe her. It
doesn't help that Vik is caught standing over her parents' bodies with
blood on his hands, unable to remember anything about the night in
question.
But Vik's sister, Tessa, knows that Vik would never be capable of such
a gruesome crime. Haunted by the mistakes she made that led her family
to move to Fall River, MA in the first place, she sets out to prove her
brother's innocence.
Tessa's search for answers will lead her into a sprawling, notoriously
cursed forest, where she and Mariella must face a darkness that has
lurked within their town since before the days of Lizzie Borden--the
original axe murderess of Fall River.
This book is an empirical study of contributions by courts in the
Global South to comparative constitutionalism. It offers an
analytical framework for understanding these constitutional
innovations and illustrates them with a qualitative study of the
most ambitious case in constitutional adjudication in Latin America
over the last decade: the Colombian Constitutional Court's
structural injunction affecting the rights of over five million
internally displaced people and its implementation process.
Although the ruling (known as T25) was handed down in 2004, its
monitoring process continues. This book traces the case's evolution
from its origin to its effects on policy, politics and public
opinion. It also compares the implementation and effects of T25
with those of other rulings on the rights to health, food, housing,
and prison overcrowding in Colombia, India and South Africa. The
study's insights will be of interest to scholars of comparative
constitutionalism in Latin America, Africa and Asia.
This volume gathers together selected contributions which were
originally presented at the conference 'Greek Art in Context' at
the University of Edinburgh in 2014. Its aim is to introduce the
reader to the broad and multifaceted notion of context in relation
to Greek art and, more specifically, to its relevance for the study
of Greek sculpture and pottery from the Archaic to the Late
Classical periods. What do we mean by 'context'? In which ways and
under what circumstances does context become relevant for the
interpretation of Greek material culture? Which contexts should we
look at - viewing context, political, social and religious
discourse, artistic tradition . . .? What happens when there is no
context? These are some of the questions that this volume aims to
answer. The chapters included cover current approaches to the study
of Greek sculpture and pottery in which the notion of 'context'
plays a prominent role, offering new ways of looking at familiar
issues. It gathers leading scholars and early career researchers
from different backgrounds and research traditions with the aim of
presenting new insights into archaeological and art historical
research. Their chapters contribute to showcase the vitality of the
discipline and will serve to stimulate new directions for the study
of Greek art.

AmEfrica in Letters brings together new research on Black literary
history in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries-a
period that saw the consolidation of Black power movements and
human rights struggles across the Americas. The Black writers
examined here have left an enduring legacy on AmEfrica's mainland.
Following Brazilian theorist LElia Gonzalez, the volume highlights
how their prose and poetry have challenged the overarching theme of
mestizo-imagined multiculturalism that endures in the region's
mainstream publishing industry.
