Environmental Rights for Future Generations
by Bridget LewisThis book presents readers with a new theory and practice of international human rights law that is designed to improve its protection of the environmental rights of future generations. Arguing that international law is currently unable to safeguard future generations from foreseeable environmental harm, Bridget Lewis proposes that the law needs to be reformed in the interests of achieving intergenerational justice. The book draws on different theories of intergenerational responsibility to articulate a fresh approach, revising both substantive principles of environmental rights and procedural rules of admissibility and standing. It looks at several case studies to explore how the proposed new approach would apply in relation to contemporary environmental challenges like fracking, deep seabed mining, nuclear energy, decarbonisation and geoengineering.
Economies of Gender: Masculinity, "Mail Order Brides," and Women’s Labor (Politics of Marriage and Gender: Global Issues in Local Contexts)
by Julia H. MeszarosEconomies of Gender: Masculinity, "Mail Order Brides," and Women's Labor offers a provocative exploration of the international dating industry, challenging simplistic narratives of human trafficking and scams while shedding light on the economic dynamics of gender. Through twelve years of fieldwork, the book delves into the motivations and experiences of men who seek relationships abroad, driven by dissatisfaction with Western women who, they believe, no longer embody traditional femininity. By examining romantic tourism hotspots such as Ukraine, Colombia, and the Philippines, Economies of Gender reveals how these international settings serve as "intimate frontiers," where men seek to extract femininity capital and bolster their status. It illuminates the often-unseen economic underpinnings of relationships and questions how global gender dynamics shape desires, fantasies, and intimate markets. Through its compelling analysis, the book broadens the conversation on gender, power, and the commodification of intimacy in a globalized world.

Tenderheaded: A Memoir
by Michaela angela DavisAfter working alongside iconic figures like Diana Ross, Prince, and Maya Angelou and as VIBE&’s founding fashion director, Michaela angela Davis provides both a celebration of Black media&’s vibrant history and a critical examination of its challenges and identity politics.On her first day of second grade, a group of older girls surrounded Michaela.

Michaela and her braids survived the attempted &“jump,&” but she never saw the world and hair the same way again. Recognizing how her light skin, light eyes, and light hair facilitated her access to the explosive intersections of hardcore, house, and hip-hop culture, Michaela angela Davis&’s Tenderheaded is the coming-of-age story of a stylist and editor who hustled during the golden age of the downtown NYC scene of the &’80s, established a career through the hip-hop–fueled &’90s, and reckoned with the media industry in the &“post-racial&” Obama years while being in service to Black women every step of the way. With a life and career as complex and textured as her hair, Davis has written more than a memoir. A tribute to Black girls and women everywhere, Tenderheaded is a cultural manifesto that reckons with the role media and American history play in the fascinating and chaotic shaping of a collective identity.

School of Woke: How Critical Race Theory Infiltrated American Schools and Why We Must Reclaim Them
by Kenny XuFrom one of America&’s most relentless critics of Critical Race Theory comes this far-reaching, on-the-ground investigation of how CRT infiltrated our public schools and transformed them into activism factories—with disastrous results. Awareness of the rise of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in public schools and how it has shaped our education system took the U.S. by storm over the last few years. Parents truly became aware for the first time how deeply entrenched CRT was in the classrooms, and their eyes were opened to the insidious agenda thoroughly embedded in public schools. As a result, CRT and parental rights in education became some of the most explosive issues facing Americans today. Kenny Xu is a perceptive and relentless critic of CRT and our culture&’s war on meritocracy. And now, in School of Woke, Xu exposes how CRT is transforming public schools and having a destructive impact on our children&’s education—and their future. In School of Woke, Xu provides historical context to the rise of Critical Race Theory in education, tracing it back to elite graduate schools in the 1970s and showing how the ideology became institutionalized and credentialed. Xu covers the battles taking place in the most problematic and contested school districts in the nation, including Loudoun and Fairfax County Public Schools in Northern Virginia and Santa Barbara High School in California. He also exposes the lucrative business model behind the diversity consulting industrial complex that is instrumental in the curricular wars, revealing how educators and administrators have been gaslighting the public about the prevalence of this radical ideology in the classrooms, where children as young as five are being segregated in the classroom by race and are being taught that whiteness is inherently evil. A work of colorful reportage, historical analysis, and cultural commentary, School of Woke reveals what it will take to extricate our next generation from the destructive trends in our once-vaunted public school education system.

The Bollingen Tower: Constructing a Jungian Sense of Place (Research in Analytical Psychology and Jungian Studies)
by Martin GledhillOffering a novel conceptual methodology where Jungian psychology is used to analyse Jung’s own architecture, this book offers an innovative reading of Jung’s Bollingen Tower in order to explore a Jungian sense of place, situating it within a wider examination of the psychic places that influenced his work. Representing the first comprehensive study of Jung’s building activities, the chapters illuminate the wider purpose of architecture as a reflection of self and a means to ‘belong’ in the world. Using , the author’s own fieldwork, interviews with descendants, and detailed analysis of Jung’s autobiography and copious writings drawn from his own imagination and psyche, chapters explore themes such as the relationship between psyche and geometry, the idea of psychic place, and ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ in analytical psychology. In discussing the legacy and the predominance of Bollingen Tower as the defining spatial motif of Jung’s psychological system, the chapters also cover comparisons with Marie-Louise von Franz’s Tower and Christiana Morgan’s Tower. The author’s own background as an award-winning architect, alongside a lifelong study of analytical psychology, makes him uniquely placed to shed light on this as-yet underexplored area of study. The book opens up interdisciplinary dialogues and provides a broader context for understanding the relationship between the environment and the psyche. It will therefore be of interest to scholars and postgraduate students in the fields of Jungian and analytical psychology and architecture.
Giving Voice to Exile in Literature: The Burdens and Privileges of Inheritance
by Edited by Asher Z. Milbauer and James M. SuttonGiving Voice to Exile in Literature: The Burdens and Privileges of Inheritance aims to provide undergraduate, graduate and professional readers with a nuanced understanding of how the unique status of exile, issues of displacement, complexities of cultural identity formation, the state of in-betweenness (liminality), and alienation shape fundamental human experiences. Its contributors, prominent artists, literary critics, social scientists, medical professionals, students of exile, and an acclaimed bookseller, explore the origins and causes of uprootedness and examine its historical, social, cultural, psychological, intercultural, political, and linguistic consequences. Their essays are informed by a constructive awareness of the tensions between a “purist” approach to exile as forceful/violent banishment from one’s native land as a result of intolerance and that of exile as a metaphor for all kinds of alienation, societal estrangements and psychic dislocations. Most of the essays in this volume bear the imprint of an experiential/scholarly/lyrical mode of composition and are further informed by the contributors’ acute awareness of the imbricated nature of their parents’ exilic experiences and their own creative and scholarly endeavors. By acknowledging the burdensome traumatic travails of their ancestors, the contributors find pleasure and privilege in their filial and professional responsibility to bear witness to the resiliency of the human spirit, transcending exile, which Joseph Conrad called an “unnatural state of existence.” In so doing, they testify to their efforts to metamorphose their inherited sense of exile into acts of commemoration, education and creativity.
