Nicole Fox - Böcker

In the wake of unthinkable atrocities, it is reasonable to ask how any population can move on from the experience of genocide. Simply remembering the past can, in the shadow of mass death, be retraumatizing. So how can such momentous events be memorialized in a way that is productive and even healing for survivors? Genocide memorials tell a story about the past, preserve evidence of the violence that occurred, and provide emotional support to survivors. But the goal of amplifying survivors' voices can fade amid larger narratives entrenched in political motivations.In After Genocide,Nicole Fox investigates the ways memorials can shape the experiences of survivors decades after mass violence has ended. She examines how memorializations can both heal and hurt, especially when they fail to represent all genders, ethnicities, and classes of those afflicted. Drawing on extensive interviews with Rwandans, Fox reveals their relationships to these spaces and uncovers those voices silenced by the dominant narrative-arguing that the erasure of such stories is an act of violence itself. The book probes the ongoing question of how to fit survivors in to the dominant narrative of healing and importantly demonstrates how memorials can shape possibilities for growth, national cohesion, reconciliation, and hope for the future.

This book introduces students to the challenges related to international crime and punishment and the ways that criminal justice systems have sought to confront them. The dismantling and opening up of borders by technology, transportation, international trade, and the global flow of labor and capital have allowed those engaging in criminal behavior to work across borders in ways that challenge the traditional nation-state and its criminal justice system, making the study of international crime and justice increasingly relevant. This book not only covers the nuts and bolts of international crime and law enforcement but also raises abstract, theoretical issues for debate and asks critical questions about the ideal ways to think about international criminal justice problems. Contemporary topics such as war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity, terrorism, drug smuggling, human trafficking, financial crimes, environmental crimes, and cybercrime are addressed, and connections between globalization, politics, and criminal justice reflect the modern realities of international and transnational crime. Following an introductory chapter that presents the dimensions of international criminal justice, the text is organized into two major parts, the first part discussing major international crimes and why people engage in them, and the second part laying out the central structures of the international criminal justice system, including international courts, transnational law enforcement, and aspects of United States criminal justice developed to deal with international crimes. Throughout the book, the authors place global crime within the context of contemporary politics and current events. Pedagogical tools such as summaries of significant international cases, discussion questions, and a thorough bibliography aid reader engagement and understanding. This text is suitable for students in global criminology, international crime, and comparative criminology courses, and researchers and policy-makers concerned with international and transnational crime.

I have a problem:I’ve been arranged to marry a monster.Run away? Good idea. Tried that. Didn’t work.Because in my family, my father makes the rules.And he says this wedding is happening.But he still has a soft spot for me, his last remaining daughter.So he offers me a deal.Take ten days.Get to know Sasha.See if you change your mind.Yeah, right.Sasha Ozerov is a beast in Brioni.He’s ruthless, flawless, utterly unconcerned with mortals like me.All he wants is what our marriage would bring him:My family’s power and the city in the palm of his hand.But maybe, if I can make him back out of the deal…I’ll keep my freedom.So I set out to do everything I can to drive him crazy.I have ten days to make my husband hate me.What happens if I start to love him instead?

I had a plan to make mob boss Sasha Ozerov hate me.Good news: It worked.Bad news: I’m pregnant with his twins.I’m hiding in France, trying to forget the man who stole my heart and betrayed my sister—until Serbian hitmen find us. And Sasha comes to the rescue.For our safety, he insists we hide out in a remote Italian villa. Ten weeks. Just me, my sister, and the father of my children.Sasha says he’s changed. That he loves me. That he wants redemption.The problem? I might believe him.Ten weeks to resist a reformed villain.Ten weeks to guard my heart.Ten weeks to choose:Run from the man who betrayed us...Or surrender to the father of my children?

I married my boss. Got pregnant by my boss. . . Things have gotten complicated.Walking in on Vincent Russo mid tryst was never meant to lead to marriage—especially when he was supposed to marry someone else. But love with a mob boss is never conventional. The man I fell for was all dominant commands and filthy promises. Now we’re married, he’s overprotective. Paranoid.But I’m not that innocent little assistant anymore.The boardroom where he used to bend me over his desk is now where I sit beside him.But when enemies target our unborn child, Vincent reverts to his old ways. So I do what any self-respecting mafia wife would do:I remind him exactly who he married.And when our enemies make the mistake of kidnapping me while I'm in labour?They're about to find out, too.
