Located on the banks of the Chattahoochee, Columbus boasts a
historic past that runs as deep as the river itself. But peer
closely into the murkier parts of Columbus's history, and
frightening stories begin to emerge. Join author and ghost hunter
Faith Serafin for a chilling look into Columbus's haunted past.
There's the regal Springer Opera House, where ghosts creep in the
shadows of elaborate balconies. Visit the historic home of Columbus
native and blues legend Ma Rainey, where some say the songstress
can still be seen playing her original piano. Then there's the
Phantom of Eubanks Field, whose ghastly apparition tries to
frighten soldiers at Fort Benning. These terrifying tales, and
more, await in this collection of haunting stories.

Confronting entrenched social inequality and inadequate access to
resources, women across Africa are working with determination and
imagination to improve their material conditions and to blaze a
clear path for their daughters and granddaughters. The thirty-one
African-born contributors to this book move beyond the linked
dichotomies of victim/oppressor and victim/heroine to present their
experiences of resistance in full complexity: they are at the
forward edge of the tide of women's empowerment that, at the start
of the twenty-first century, is moving across the African
continent. Contributions illuminate the effect on women of women's
poverty and lack of access to education, health care, credit, and
political power; HIV/AIDS; female genital cutting; Sharia law;
armed conflict and rape as a weapon of war; displacement and exile;
women's oppressions within heterosexual relationships; resistant
sexualities; intergenerational conflict and tensions between
tradition and modernity.

This book explores the role of language academies in preserving and
revitalizing minority or endangered languages. The author studies
the controversial High Academy of the Quechua Language (HAQL) in
Peru, the efficacy of which has been questioned by some experts.
The book delves into the positions, attitudes, ideologies and
practices of the HAQL and the role it has played in language policy
and planning in the Andean region. The author uses ethnographic
fieldwork to support what was previously only anecdotal evidence
from individuals viewing the Academy from the outside. This book
would appeal to anyone studying the sociolinguistics of the Quechua
language, as well as to those studying broader issues of Indigenous
language policy and planning, maintenance and revitalization.
This book examines the theory and praxis of the legal concept of
subsidiarity and the policy paradigm of multilevel governance,
providing an updated overview on how subnational and national
authorities engage within the EU institutional framework. Providing
a theoretical assessment of real-life case studies, the book
reflects on a number of key events from the negotiations of the
European Convention to the process that led to the "Brexit"
referendum and assesses the key agendas and institutional ethos of
most actors involved in EU policymaking. It particularly focusses
on the EU engagement of so-called non-privileged actors, such as
subnational authorities from the UK, Germany, Austria, Italy, the
Netherlands and Scandinavia, as well as national and regional
parliaments. The author goes on to examine the sometimes selfish
behaviour and individual agendas of the European Commission,
European Parliament, Member States and even the European Court of
Justice but also identifies many constructive ways of interaction
that can decisively frame how EU decisions are made. This
comprehensive book will be a useful reference to students,
practitioners and academic researchers working in European
politics, policymaking, public policy and EU law and integration.
Focusing on the Americas - home to 40 to 50 million Indigenous
people - this book explores the history and current state of
Indigenous language revitalization across this vast region.
Complementary chapters on the USA and Canada, and Latin America and
the Caribbean, offer a panoramic view while tracing nuanced
trajectories of "top down" (official) and "bottom up" (grass roots)
language planning and policy initiatives. Authored by leading
Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars, the book is organized
around seven overarching themes: Policy and Politics; Processes of
Language Shift and Revitalization; The Home-School-Community
Interface; Local and Global Perspectives; Linguistic Human Rights;
Revitalization Programs and Impacts; New Domains for Indigenous
Languages Providing a comprehensive, hemisphere-wide scholarly and
practical source, this singular collection simultaneously fills a
gap in the language revitalization literature and contributes to
Indigenous language revitalization efforts.
