Taking a multi-disciplinary perspective, and one grounded in human
rights, Unaccompanied young migrants explores in-depth the journeys
migrant youths take through the UK legal and care systems. Arriving
with little agency, what becomes of these children as they grow and
assume new roles and identities, only to risk losing legal
protection as they reach eighteen? Through international studies
and crucially the voices of the young migrants themselves, the book
examines the narratives they present and the frameworks of culture
and legislation into which they are placed. It challenges existing
policy and questions, from a social justice perspective, what the
treatment of this group tells us about our systems and the cultural
presuppositions on which they depend.

The Roux in the Gumbo is emotional and inspirational, telling the
story of a Louisana family spanning the generations from the era of
slavery to the present day. You will read of the romances,
challenges and adventures they experience as their lives are
intertwined by one common goal - basic survival during the
reconstruction era in Louisiana.
Christian romance, Streetlit and history take your through
California in the 1960's through the eyes of a little girl. Though
this book is a generational sequel to "The Roux in the Gumbo," it
stands on its own.
2027: Southern California is a developer's dream gone mad, an
endless sprawl of condos, freeways, and malls. Jim McPherson, the
affluent son of a defense contractor, is a young man lost in a
world of fast cars, casual sex, and designer drugs. But his descent
in to the shadowy underground of industrial terrorism brings him
into a shattering confrontation with his family, his goals, and his
ideals.
"The Gold Coast" is the second novel in Robinson's Three
Californias trilogy.
John Hearne was one of the first wave of West Indian writers to
achieve international recognition in the 1950s and the first
Jamaican author published by Faber and Faber. He was a contemporary
of V.S. Naipaul, George Lamming, Roger Mais, Andrew Salkey and
Samuel Selvon. Though Hearne's novels are viewed as foundational
Caribbean literature, they did not have the same traction as those
of his contemporaries and his work is largely out of print. This
collection brings together Hearne's short stories in a single
volume for the first time and makes his writing available to a new
generation of readers. Hearne felt his duty as a writer was to
examine fundamental human truths rather than social politics or a
nationalistic agenda, and his short stories are exemplars of this
intention. From his first published piece, the fable "The Mongoose
Who Came to the City", to his unpublished last story "Reckonings",
this collection of critically acclaimed short stories is essential
reading for any serious student of Caribbean literature or any
reader seeking a broader understanding of the culture of the region
in the early days of independence.
