This book explores the impact of the United Nations Declaration on
the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Japan and Australia, where it
has heralded change in the rights of Indigenous Peoples to have
their histories, cultures, and lifeways taught in culturally
appropriate and respectful ways in mainstream education systems.
The book examines the impact of imposed education on Indigenous
Peoples' pre-existing education values and systems, considers
emergent approaches towards Indigenous education in the
post-imperial context of migration, and critiques certain
professional development, assessment, pedagogical approaches and
curriculum developments. This book will be of great interest to
researchers and lecturers of education specialising in Indigenous
Education, as well as postgraduate students of education and
teachers specialising in Indigenous Education.

In the face of the continuously changing challenges of the digital
age, it is difficult for quality news journalism to survive on any
significant scale if a means for adequately funding it is not
available. This new study, a follow-up to 2007's The Future of
Journalism in the Advanced Democracies, includes a comparative
analysis of possible alternative business models that may save the
future of the quality news business across the developed,
intermediate, and developing worlds. Its detailed evaluation
encompasses also the different ways in which wider key issues are
affecting the prospects for quality news as a core ingredient of
effectively working democracies. It focuses on the United States,
the United Kingdom, South Africa, India, Kenya, and selected parts
of the Arab World, providing a comprehensive cross-cultural survey
of different approaches to addressing these various issues. To keep
the study firmly rooted in the "real world" the contributors
include distinguished practitioners as well as experienced
academics.
In Spain between 1936-1945, the Franco regime carried out one
Europe's more brutal but less remembered programs of mass
repression. Many were murdered by the regime's death squads, and in
some areas Francoists also subjected up to 15% of the population to
summary military trials. Here many suffered the death sentence or
jail terms up to thirty years. Although historians have recognised
the staggering scale of the trials, they have tended to overlook
the mass participation that underpinned them. In contrast to the
discussion in other European countries, little attention has been
paid to the wide scale collusion in the killings and incarcerations
in Spain. Exploring mass complicity in the trials of hundreds of
thousands of defeated Republicans following the end of the Spanish
Civil War, The Francoist Military Trials probes local Francoists'
accusations whereby victims were selected for prosecution in
military courts. It also shows how insubstantial and hostile
testimony formed the bedrock of 'investigations', secured
convictions, and shaped the harsh sentencing practices of Franco's
military judges. Using civil court records, it also documents how
grassroots Francoists continued harassing Republicans for many
years after they emerged from prison. Challenging the popularly
prevalent view that the Franco regime imposed a police state upon a
passive Spanish society, the evidence Anderson uncovers here
illustrates that local state officials and members of the regime's
support base together forged a powerful repressive system that
allowed them to wage war on elements of their own society to a
greater extent than perhaps even the Nazis managed against their
own population.

"The Global Politics of Power, Justice and Death" investigates the
nature and complexity of global change. Among other things it looks
at the future of the state, the environment, the international
political economy, war and global rivalries, and the role of
international law and the UN in the post-Cold War world. The book
devises a readily comprehensible "change map" which both
incorporates a wide range of the fundamental concepts of
international relations theory and suggests a number of new
concepts capable of assisting the investigation of global change.
This new framework is deployed to look closely at real world issues
in order to isolate the crucial factors which determine whether or
not mass hunger, for example, or environmental abuse, can be
eliminated. Readers interested in International Relations and
International Politics will find this a stimulating and provocative
introduction to a fascinating subject.

First published in 1987, this atlas identifies structural patterns
which exist in the sound systems of the dialects of England. It
regards variation, not as something to be ignored or avoided, but
as a central and essential feature of dialect, which must be
accounted for in a systematic way. The study identifies some of the
more prominent structural boundaries between dialect areas and
argues that discrete boundaries do not exist: rather there are a
number of areas separated by bands of dialects in which conflicting
partial systems exist.
Historians have only recently established the scale of the violence
carried out by the supporters of General Franco during and after
the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939. An estimated 88,000
unidentified victims of Francoist violence remain to be exhumed
from mass graves and given a dignified burial, and for decades, the
history of these victims has also been buried. This volume brings
together a range of Spanish and British specialists who offer an
original and challenging overview of this violence. Contributors
not only examine the mass killings and incarcerations, but also
carefully consider how the repression carried out in the government
zone during the Civil War - long misrepresented in Francoist
accounts - seeped into everyday life. A final section explores ways
of facing Spain's recent violent past.

'Today with the Red Army captive and disarmed, the Nationalist
[nacionales] troops have achieved their final military objectives.
The war is over.' With these two sentences, on 1 April 1939,
General Franco announced that his writ ran across the whole of
Spain. His words marked a high point for those who had flocked to
Franco's side and since the start of the Civil War in July 1936 had
carried out what they regarded as the steady occupation of the
country. The history of this occupation remains conspicuous by its
absence and the term occupation lies discredited for many
historians. The danger of leaving the history of the occupation
unexplored, however, is that a major process designed to control
the conquered population remains in the shadows and, unlike many
other European countries, the view of occupation as an imposition
by outsiders remains unchallenged. Friend or Foe? explores how
Francoist occupation saw members of the state and society
collaborate to win control of Spanish society. At the heart of the
process lay the challenging task in civil war of distinguishing
between supporter and opponent. Occupation also witnessed a move
from arbitrary violence towards selecting opponents for carefully
graded punishment. Such selection depended upon fine-grained
information about vast swathes of the population. The massive scale
of the surveillance meant that regime officials depended on
collaborators within the community to furnish them with the
information needed to write huge numbers of biographies.
Accordingly, knowledge as a form of power became as crucial as
naked force as neighbours of the defeated helped define who would
gain reward as a friend and who would suffer punishment as a foe.
Customer review: This book will be useful for anyone who is
interested in Graphic design or like me studying in uni or on
foundation. It has a lot to say about graphics, some things I never
considered when doing my work, particularly the chapter about the
context of communication as well the bits of theory and history of
design. Its written in a very approachable manner and isn't as
boring and repetitive as other books on theory of design I have
read .

This open access book provides insights from Indigenous higher
degree research (HDR) students on supervision practices in an
Australian context. It examines findings from qualitative studies
conducted with Indigenous HDR students from different academic
disciplines, enrolled higher education institutions across
Australia, and supervisors of Indigenous HDR students. Six types of
data and their thematic analyses are presented, to understand the
needs and experiences of both Indigenous HDR students and
supervisors of Indigenous HDR students. This book also unpacks
assumptions and commonly held beliefs about Indigenous HDR
students, and shares what Indigenous HDRs report they need to
experience success in higher education. It reports the experiences
of supervisors of Indigenous HDR students, and explore further
opportunities which enhance the higher education experiences of
Indigenous HDR students. This book also suggests how successful
relationships between Indigenous HDR students, and their
supervisors may be fostered, and aims to be a useful resource for
Indigenous peoples wishing to pursue higher education, and HDR
supervisors in countries with Indigenous populations.
Tracing the lives and experiences of 100,000 Africans who landed in
Sierra Leone having been taken off slave vessels by the British
Navy following Britain's abolition of the trans-Atlantic slave
trade, this study focuses on how people, forcibly removed from
their homelands, packed on to slave ships, and settled in Sierra
Leone were able to rebuild new lives, communities, and collective
identities in an early British colony in West Africa. Their
experience illuminates both African and African diaspora history by
tracing the evolution of communities forged in the context of
forced migration and the missionary encounter in a prototypical
post-slavery colonial society. A new approach to the major
historical field of British anti-slavery, studied not as a history
of legal victories (abolitionism) but of enforcement and lived
experience (abolition), Richard Peter Anderson reveals the linkages
between emancipation, colonization, and identity formation in the
Black Atlantic.
The Age of Mass Child Removal in Spain analyses the ideas and
practices that underpinned the age of mass child removal. This era
emerged from growing criticisms across the world of 'dangerous'
parents and the developing belief in the nineteenth century that
the state could provide superior guardianship to 'unfit' parents.
In the late nineteenth century, the juvenile-court movement led the
way in forging a new and more efficient system of child removal
that severely curtailed the previously highly protected sovereignty
of guardians deemed dangerous. This transnational movement rapidly
established courts across the world and used them to train the
personnel and create the systems that frequently lay behind mass
child removal. Spaniards formed a significant part of this
transnational movement and the country's juvenile courts became
involved in the three main areas of removal that characterize the
age: the taking of children from poor families, from families
displaced by war, and from political opponents. The study of
Spanish case files reveals much about how the removal process
worked in practice across time and across democratic regimes and
dictatorships. These cases also afford an insight into the rich
array of child-removal practices that lay between the poles of
coercion and victimhood. Accordingly, the study offers a history of
some of most marginalized parents and children and recaptures their
voice, agency, and experience. Peter Anderson also analyses the
removal of tens of thousands of children from General Franco's
political opponents, sometimes referred to as the lost children of
Francoism, through the history and practice of the juvenile courts.
