To want to 'save the planet', a person has to have a sense of belonging in it.What would a saved planet look like for a Black collective?What is this collective goal we are all signing up to, when so many of us are being left out of the conversation?In Black Climates, former Young People's Poet Laureate for London Selina Nwulu attempts to answer these questions, using her skills as a storyteller to create narratives that challenge traditional climate conversations, to explore the connections between blackness and the climate crisis.Writing in the tradition of Claudia Rankine and Christina Sharp, Selina Nwulu uses cross genre, experimental form combined with accessible and conversational prose to speak about these issues in new ways and connect with readers who may feel alienated by the mainstream climate movement. Focusing on the Black British experience, and weaving together personal experience with interviews, Black Climates is a creative attempt to explore the links between systemic deep-rooted issues that underpin both racial and climate injustice, and beyond.The book is structured in four parts: Air, Borders, Land, and How We Survive. These span air pollution, prison ecology, disability, migration, food, community care, radical imagination and much more. Each part will contain a number of essays, broken into several short sections with notes and poems threaded throughout, giving the reader space to pause and digest, as well as enabling us to interrogate the subject from different overlapping perspectives.

The Dallas Action: Lee Harvey Oswald Did Not Kill JFK is best described as a prosecution by Robert K. Tanenbaum of those corrupt, unscrupulous government and unelected agency officials, who from inception with predetermined outcomes, deceitfully engaged in insecure, phony pretense probes regarding the assassination in Dealey Plaza. Those responsible are prosecuted while those who speak truth to power are exonerated. Robert Tanenbaum, who in 1976 was appointed deputy chief counsel in charge of the congressional investigation into the assassination of President Kennedy, provides stunning and shocking ';immutable facts' that reveal unequivocally that the government's reliance on the Warren Commission (WC) investigation and the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) alleged probe were reprehensibly and ultimately gut-wrenchingly misleading and downright dishonest. The HSCA was not interested in searching for truth. In fact, as an example, it ultimately fabricated a significant portion of its forensic medical panel summary report and then sealed for fifty years all the underlying documents. For the past sixty years, the government's contrived case that a sole gunman fired three shots from the sixth-floor sniper's nest window inside the Dallas Book Depository building, rested substantially on the alleged invalid science offered to prove the so-called ';Single Bullet Theory.' Evidence shows that five shots were fired in Dealey Plaza, not three. Corroboration of the fourth shot, the fatal blast fired from the knoll hill stockade fence area, includes witnesses and exhibits, as well as scientific audio and photo verification, while significant convincing evidence shows that the fifth shot came from a northeast building complex behind JFK. The uncomfortable truth is that Lee Harvey Oswald has been unjustly accused as the assassin notwithstanding his contract employee status of both the CIA and FBI.

An exploration of how 'spy fever' supposedly gripped the British nation during the First World War.

Autocratization in Contemporary Uganda analyses two interrelated outcomes: autocratisation, manifest in the deepening of personalist rule or Musevenism, and the regime resilience that has made Museveni one of Africa's current-longest surviving rulers. How has this feat been possible, and what has been the trajectory of Museveni's increasingly autocratic rule?Surveying that trajectory since 1986, the book takes as its primary focus the years since 2005; bringing to the fore the 'autocratic turn', placing it within a broader comparative lens, and enriching it with comparative references to cases outside of Uganda. While positing the notion of 'autocratic adaptability' as a defining hallmark of Museveni's rule, the book examines the factors and forces that have made that adaptability possible, analysing the dynamics around three keys themes: institutions, resources, and coalitions. Through empirical research, each chapter seeks to demonstrate how either one or two of these three variables have functioned in propelling autocratization and assuring regime resilience - producing theoretical and and comparative implications that reach beyond Uganda.

Does human rights law work? This book engages in this heated debate through a detailed analysis of thirty years of the right to health - perhaps the most complex human right - in Brazil. Are Brazilians better off three decades after the enactment of the right to health in the 1988 Constitution? Has the flurry of litigation experienced in Brazil helped or harmed the majority of the population? This book offers an in-depth analysis of these complex and controversial questions grounded on a wealth of empirical data. The book covers the history of the recognition of health as a human right in the 1988 Constitution through the Sanitary Movement's campaign and the subsequent three decades of what Ferraz calls the politics and judicialization of health. It challenges positions of both optimists and sceptics of human rights law and will be of interest to those looking for a more nuanced analysis.
