Socially Just Research with Young People

This book bridges the fields of critical youth studies, community psychology, and sociology to offer a transdisciplinary analysis of youth voice, participation, and activism, as well as of creative and inclusive knowledge-making practices. Presented in three parts, the book traces our journey of praxis as we documented the narratives and testimonies of young people and then mobilised this knowledge to co-imagine and co-create a Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR) collective aimed at fostering connection and healing during the stringent lockdowns of 2020 in Victoria, Australia. Community building and art-making became central to memorialising their experiences of grief and loss, whilst also opening up new ways of seeing, being and doing. With no end in sight to our current coalescence of crises, this book serves as an invitation to those working alongside young people to consider what we must carry with us if we are to reimagine and remake our world.
Providing new information on women's participation in the Moroccan independence movement, Voices of Resistance offers a rare opportunity to hear Moroccan women speak freely about their personal lives. Each woman is introduced in terms of her family background and personal style, and the interviews are given texture and context by references to Moroccan history and popular culture, including contemporary songs and poems. These women are storytellers, and they lived through stirring times. Their active struggle against French colonialism also challenged and redefined traditional Moroccan ideas about women's roles in society. The narratives reconstruct the little-known history of Moroccan feminism and nationalism, and probe the lives of a remarkable group of Islamic women whose voices have never been heard until now.
Now in paperback! Blacks in the Dutch World The Evolution of Racial Imagery in a Modern Society Allison Blakely Examination of the development of racial attitudes and color prejudice. "In Blacks in the Dutch World Blakely provides scholars with a valuable record—in word and image—of the complex interaction between Dutch history and black history even as it examines, sensitively and persuasively, some of the intricate combinations of factors which are involved in color bias and its cultural expression." —Catherine Levesque, New West Indian Guide/Nieuwe West-Indische Gids ". . . provocative and exceptionally well written—a significant contribution to the history of Dutch overseas expansion." —Johannes Postma, Journal of Interdisciplinary History "This is a very interesting, well-written, and thoroughly researched study based on a great variety of sources." —Choice Blacks in the Dutch World examines the interaction between Black history and Dutch history to gain an understanding of the development of racial attitudes. Allison Blakely reveals cracks in the self-image and reputation of Dutch society as a haven for those escaping intolerance. Pervasive images of "the Moor" and "the noble savage" appear in Dutch art and popular culture; and "Black Pete" is a servant to Santa Claus in Dutch Christmas tradition. These and many other cultural artifacts reflect the racial stereotyping of Blacks that existed in the Dutch world through the time of slavery and servitude, and then freedom. Blakely weighs the proposition that factors unique to the modern period have contributed to the creation of this racial imagery in Dutch folklore, art, literature, and religion. By viewing evolving images of Blacks against the backdrop of Western expansion, the agricultural, scientific, and industrial revolutions, and the advent of modern secular doctrines, Blakely discovers that humanism and liberalism, hallmarks of Dutch society since medieval times, have been imperfect guardians against racial bias. Allison Blakely, Professor of European History and Comparative History at Howard University, is author of Russia and the Negro: Blacks in Russian History and Thought, winner of an American Book Award.

This book foregrounds the provision of education for young people who have been remanded or sentenced into custody. Both international conventions and national legislation and guidelines in many countries point to the right of children and young people to access education while they are incarcerated. Moreover, education is often seen as an important protective and ‘rehabilitative’ factor. However, the conditions associated with incarceration generate particular challenges for enabling participation in education. Bridging the fields of education and youth justice, this book offers a social justice analysis through the lens of ‘participatory parity’, the book brings together rare interviews with staff and young people in youth justice settings in Australia, secondary data from these sites, a suite of pertinent and frank reports, and international scholarship. Drawing on this rich set of material, the book demonstrates not only the challenges but also the possibilities for education as a conduit for social justice in custodial youth justice. The book will be of immediate relevance to governments and youth justice staff for meaningfully meeting their obligation of enabling children and young people in custody to benefit from education; and of interest to scholars and researchers in education, youth work and criminology.

You are cordially invited to join Milliner, Delores Marshall and Baker, Agnes Trevin who have joined forces to create their very own Detective Agency. Skilfully assisted by their intrepid underground intelligence network, also known as the Women’s Club on their adventures and quest for the truth. Sure, some of these 80-year-old Women’s Club members look all sweet and innocent but hasn’t anyone ever wondered why they had a day trip to MI5, or why they carry evidence bags, forensic gloves, several lock picks and have multiple bus passes all in different names? What do you get if you mix crisps with sabotage? A Secret Santa out for revenge. Where did the Armadillo come from and what does it want? Why do you need a Tea Towel? And if anyone has found Doris, please can you direct her back to the rest of the group. In a world where not everything is as it seems, can you work out the who, the why and the how? The Millinery Bakers Detective Agency is a witty cosy crime story with a side helping of millinery and baking and follows a group of female undercover agents who are not to be underestimated.
Welcome back to this second instalment in The Millinery Bakers Detective Agency series. Investigators Agnes, Delores and their intrepid underground intelligence network, are delighted to see you again. Grab a cup of tea and plenty of biscuits and join the agency’s investigation in a new adventure picking up immediately after Secret Santa Slays Six. With twists and turns along the way, where a visit to a village flower show reveals it may not be as innocent as it seems, as stolen items are recovered and an Armadillo begins to uncurl, and how does a little black book threaten to tear a family apart… What is the Armadillo trying to hide? Why is Agnes traumatised by a baguette? Does anyone know where Delores has put her order book? And which new client brings a curious and very awkward new case?
Sort outlandish fiction from no-less-outrageous fact in this wild ride with the West's Gentleman Gunfighter. Robert Andrew Clay Allison was a jumble of contradictions. Mentally unstable and mean as a rattlesnake, he was also a fierce defender of the innocent. A hard drinker but a quiet-spoken man. A hell raiser who was an impromptu preacher. He was as feared for his prowess with pistol and Bowie knife as he was famous for loving whiskey and dancing. Largely forgotten today, his legend once sprawled across the frontier from Cimarron to Mobeetie, where he was known to careen drunkenly through the streets wearing only his gunbelt and his boots. Donna Blake Birchell places one of New Mexico's most fascinating figures back among his more well-chronicled peers.
