This book traces twentieth-century Canadian criminal justice responses to women who kill their newly born babies. Initially, juries were reluctant to convict these women of murder since it carried the death penalty. The current “infanticide” law was adopted in 1948 to impose uniformity on legal practice and to ensure a homicide conviction. Even then, prosecutors faced considerable difficulties, but now, amidst media pressure, and with public attitudes possibly hardening, there are calls for the repeal of the infanticide law and the adoption of a draconian framework to deal with these cases.
Kirsten Kramar provides an interdisciplinary feminist approach to the study of infanticide law, examining and linking historical, sociological, and legal scholarship. She examines in detail the legislative history and infanticide case law, as well as the range of relevant medical discourses from the past 100 years. By doing this, she provides a more nuanced approach to the debates around the broader issues of the medicalization of women’s deviance – one that reveals some of the political dangers inherent in hasty critiques of infanticide law, and shows the value of careful interdisciplinary analysis for studies in the history of law and socio-legal relations Drawing on a wide range of original data sources (provincial and federal indictment case files, coroner’s records, reported legal cases, Hansard Parliamentary Debates, official crime statistics, media reports, and expert medical texts), Kramar presents a detailed picture of the developments, revealing the often ironic consequences of attempts to rationalize this area of law. An established feminist critique of “infanticide” as an inappropriately medical concept is shown to have been largely unhelpful, misconstruing the phenomenon’s history and significance, and lending support to calls for a “get tough” approach
Unwilling Mothers, Unwanted Babies makes an important contribution to the international literature on maternal neonaticide as well as the medicalization of deviance, and will be of interest to those working in law, sociology, criminology, women’s studies, and gender history.

Описание: This book is a vital exploration of the harrowing stories of mass displacement that took place in the first half of the 20th century from the perspective of forced migrants themselves. The volume brings together 15 interrelated case studies which show how the deportation, evacuation and flight of millions of people as a result of the First World War intensified rather than alleviated ethnic conflicts which culminated in population transfers on an even larger scale during and immediately after the Second World War. While each chapter focuses on a different group of refugees and displaced persons, the text as a whole looks at the experience of forced migration as a complex set of evolving relationships with the receiving society, the homeland, the broader diaspora and other migrant communities living within the same host country. This innovative, four-dimensional model provides an overarching conceptual framework that binds the chapters together within the longer arc of European history.
By going beyond the conventional narratives of national victimhood and (un)successful assimilation of refugees, A Transnational History of Forced Migrants in Europe reveals that identities of forced migrants in the first half of the 20th century were individualised, hybrid and constantly reconstructed in response to socioeconomic forces and political pressures. The case studies collected in this volume further suggest that age, gender, social class, educational level and the personal experiences of ‘unwilling nomads’ are more important to the understanding of forced migration history than ethnoreligious identities of victims and perpetrators.

For ten years or so I've been putting down my thoughts on design, and technology, and ethics. Essays after essay. Some of those essays get turned into talks, some of them get blown out into books, but the essay has always been the native form for all these. I am, at heart, an essay writer. I love the form. It's long enough to be nuanced, and short enough to get it out immediately. All the essays here have already appeared somewhere. Some might be familiar. But I thought it'd be nice to get them all in one book. Cause man I love holding a book, and flipping through it, and writing notes in the margins. Also, I added a bunch of footnotes to the essays. So that's new.
The book is broken up into three sections: the more recent stuff on ethics, responsibility, and race; a section where I throw rocks at Silicon Valley; and a more practical section about design basics, which is where this whole mess got started. I just wanted to help you get paid, remember that? Lordy, it's been a journey.

Описание:
Her love was lost. Now she risks losing herself...
Kalea's desperate journey to find Dorhen and rescue the kidnapped novices is cut short when she is caught in the whirlwind of a rising Darklandic deity: the violent yet seductive Wikshen.
Danger stalks Kalea across an untamed land, from a lost city in a poisoned forest where she must seek the aid of a treacherous stranger, to the very hive of Wikshen's sinister cult. But as startling revelations and harrowing events challenge her faith, her purpose, and her very identity, Kalea discovers the greatest perils of all may lurk in her own heart.
At Kalea's side, Gaije searches desperately for his sister, who is held captive by the sorcerers responsible for the corruption infiltrating the Lightlands. Back in Norr, Gaije's grandfather, Lehomis, struggles to save his clan from extinction. Even if Gaije returns safely with Mhina, he may not make it home in time before the woman he loves marries someone else.
As the new, reluctant figurehead of the Wikshonite cult, Dorhen finds himself trapped in an endless struggle for control of his own body as the pixie Wik grows stronger within him. If Dorhen succumbs, he may become someone Kalea no longer recognizes-someone with a thirst for conquest and the power to bend the entire continent to his will.
Can Kalea resist the temptation of this reborn pettygod? Or will her devotion to Dorhen crumble under the influence of Wikshen's dark allure?
Unwilling Deity is the second book in the Sufferborn series, an epic fantasy adventure designed for intelligent readers and deep-feeling souls. This is not a light and fluffy read If you yearn for a dark, thought-provoking story in which characters are pushed to the very limits of their comfort, endurance, and sanity, J.C. Hartcarver hears you.
