Some have argued that more men should play a role in ending violence against women - but what do we know about those men who are already doing so? Using case studies from Spain, Sweden and the UK, this book highlights those men who are already taking action. Examining the social, cultural, political and economic factors that support men to take a public stance, the authors explore what we can learn from their experiences in order to help build the movement to end violence against women. This important study will inform scholars and students of sociology and gender studies, as well as social movements and organisations working to involve and engage men and boys in achieving gender equality.

The first volume in green criminology devoted to gender, this book investigates gendered patterns to offending, victimisation and environmental harms. Including feminist and intersectional analysis, and with original case studies from the Global North and Global South, the book also examines actions that have been taken in response to gendered crimes and harms, together with insights on the gendered nature of resistance. The collection advances debate on green crimes, environmental harm and climate change and will inspire students and researchers to foreground gender in debates about reducing and transforming the challenges affecting our planet’s future.

Terry Washington's hazardous life weaves an urban tale from self-induced stagnation to daring bank robber to his improbable election as the first African-American President of the United States. Along the way, Washington discovers the true meaning of a personal vision he first thought unimportant but later realizes has significant and terrifying implications for not just the United States but the world. Will he be able to communicate what he has learned concerning the ancient secrets of resurrection or will he be silenced by those who fear an alternate view of humanity? Combining elements of political drama, crime thriller and supernatural intrigue, THE ONE MILLIONTH MAN is an ambitious and challenging second novel from AVE BLUE author Stephen Burrell.

Nothing in the background of Colin Taylor, a serious young black singer studying for a career in opera, could have prepared him for meeting and falling in love with Av Blue, a street-smart single mother whose personal agenda includes revenge upon two notorious police detectives, tried-but exonerated-in the shooting death of Av's older brother, Tamar, a suspected criminal. In Stephen Burrell's noir novel of inner-city Boston in 1971, incendiary relationships propel the action, and as the settings shift from bedroom to family room to courtroom, the denouement erupts in a cause clbre that shakes presumptions of guilt and innocence. A story of obsession, self-sacrifice, and ultimate redemption, this novel can speak to any reader imparting something significant and valuable.
