What Is to Be Done? Burning Questions of Our Movement
by Vladimir Ilyich LeninA basic consideration of the conditions and problems in the formation of a vanguard, revolutionary party. Lenin wrote this political pamphlet in 1901, after he had returned to St. Petersburg from three years of Siberian exile for advocating a Marxist revolution against the Tsar, who ruled Russia with an iron hand. In the pamphlet, Lenin argued that only a disciplined party of professional revolutionaries could bring socialism to Russia. He stresses the importance of theory and a revolutionary party guided by that theory. In this, he was at odds with other political groups that advocated a democratic movement toward socialism. He argued against the so-called "Economists," who held that workers were de facto at the forefront of the Marxist movement by virtue of their struggles with their employers over wage issues. In Lenin's view, this amounted to only "trade-union consciousness," which fell far short of the theoretical political consciousness he believed was needed if socialism was to succeed. The pamphlet also calls for a shift of emphasis from local to national work on revolutionary goals, which he would facilitate through communication via an all-Russia political newspaper.

Against Her Will
by Ronald J. WatkinsRichard and Victoria Tinyes feared the worst when their thirteen-year-old daughter Kelly Ann vanished from their quiet suburban community of Valley Stream, New York on March 3, 1989. But the nightmare to come was worse than they could ever imagine. Only five doors away, in the home of John and Elizabeth Golub, police found Kelly Ann's body stuffed in a plastic garbage bag. She'd been brutally beaten, stabbed, strangled and mutilated. After weeks of intense investigation, police arrested the Golubs' twenty-one-year--old son. Robert--a reclusive young man obsessed with bodybuilding and given to fits of rage. The sensational trial and subsequent conviction of Robert Golub shocked the nation and tore the once-peaceful community apart. Neighbors took sides. So did the media. And no one who lived on Horton Road would ever be the same.

Still Hungry in America
by Robert ColesBefore a child is born he has already lived a life; and when he is born he comes into more than the immediate world of his mother's arms. Not all pregnant women can take food and vitamins for granted, or a gynecologist to tell them they are indeed pregnant or an obstetrician to watch them and care for them and eventually deliver them a healthy son or daughter. For that matter, not all pregnant women can take for granted clean, running water, or a home that is warm in winter and reasonably free of germ-bearing flies and mosquitoes in summer. Nor can some pregnant women forget about rats and cockroaches, or garbage that is ignored by local "authorities," or sewage that is not adequately drained away.These are American women, American mothers, American children.

Race, Incarceration, and American Values
by Glenn C. LouryThe United States, home to five percent of the worlds' population, now houses twenty-five percent of the world's prison inmates. Our incarceration rate--at 714 per 100,000 residents and rising--is almost forty percent greater than our nearest competitors (the Bahamas, Belarus, and Russia). More pointedly, it is 6.2 times the Canadian rate and 12.3 times the rate in Japan. Economist Glenn Loury argues that this extraordinary mass incarceration is not a response to rising crime rates or a proud success of social policy. Instead, it is the product of a generation-old collective decision to become a more punitive society. He connects this policy to our history of racial oppression, showing that the punitive turn in American politics and culture emerged in the post-civil rights years and has today become the main vehicle for the reproduction of racial hierarchies. Whatever the explanation, Loury agues, the uncontroversial fact is that changes in our criminal justice system since the 1970s have created a nether class of Americans--vastly disproportionately black and brown--with severely restricted rights and life chances. Moreover, conservatives and liberals agree that the growth in our prison population has long passed the point of diminishing returns. Stigmatizing and confining of a large segment of our population should be unacceptable to Americans. Loury's call to action makes all of us now responsible for ensuring that the policy changes. Praise for The Anatomy of Racial Inequality: "Intellectually rigorous and deeply thoughtful.... The Anatomy of Racial Inequalityis an incisive, erudite book by a major thinker." --Gerald Early, New York Times Book Review A Boston Review Book
Arrest and Provisional Detention: The Obligations of the UAE under Article 14 of the Arab Charter on Human Rights
by Mohammad Al-Haddad Al-HattawiArrest and Provisional Detention: The Obligations of the UAE under Article 14 of the Arab Charter on Human Rights By Mohammad Alhaddad Alhattawi This thesis explores the compatibility of UAE law on arrest and provisional detention with Article 14 ArCHR. Given the lack of any report by the UAE on the measures which they have taken to give effect to the rights recognised in the ArCHR and the absence of effective institutions under the ArCHR to provide authoritative interpretation of the Charter’s Articles, this thesis advances an interpretation of Article 14, drawing on the interpretation of Article 9 ICCPR under the HRC and Article 5 ECHR under ECtHR. In the case of the ICCPR, this is because the wording is similar and it is a universal instrument to which some parties to the Arab Charter are also parties. In the case of the ECHR, it is because the words are similar and the Strasbourg Court has considered aspects of the interpretation and application of those provisions in a number of contexts. This considered interpretation will be of assistance to decision makers in the UAE and other parties to the ArCHR.
