Children of Refugees: Torture, Human Rights, and Psychological Consequences
ISBN: 9781782202981 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There is a wide gap between the psychological needs of the children of refugees and the services provided. Refugees' home countries, cultures, and social make-up are widely diversified, and their needs cannot be readily consolidated. This diversity of interest and need goes unacknowledged by the service-providers who may treat them as a single, homogenous group. Some refugees' needs are exaggerated, while others are ignored. This approach often ignores the justifiable and legitimate interest of refugees' psychological well-being. Many children of refugees may struggle with questions of race,...

Colombia: 2015 Human Rights Report
ISBN: 9781535465045 / Angielski / Miękka / 58 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The most serious human rights problems were impunity, an inefficient judiciary, forced displacement, corruption, and societal discrimination. An inefficient justice system subject to intimidation limited the government's ability to prosecute effectively individuals accused of human rights abuses, including former members of paramilitary groups. The availability and influence of drug-trafficking revenue often exacerbated corruption. Societal discrimination against indigenous persons and Afro-Colombians at times restricted the ability of these groups to exercise their rights. Other problems...

Last Call for Freedom While Black Lives and All American Lives Still Matter
ISBN: 9780578114675 / Angielski / Miękka / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Published in early 2016, Last Call is a wake-up call to ALL Americans. It explains how the US became the land of freedom and prosperity, how our founders secured our rights, the forces working to extinguish them, and how we can preserve freedom. The shocking truth flies in the face of what we've been taught through educational indoctrination and Mass Media Propaganda (MMP), so some dismiss it as just the author's "opinions," and bury their heads in the sand. The 2016 Election only interrupted the destruction of our freedom and our way of life, which remain in a state of severe emergency.

ISBN: 9781349527748 / Angielski / Miękka / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Can affirmative action policies be convincingly justified? And how have they been legitimized over time? In a pluridisciplinary perspective at the intersection of political theory and the sociology of law, Daniel Sabbagh criticizes the two prevailing justifications put forward in favor of affirmative action: the corrective justice argument and the diversity argument.He defends the policy instead as an instrument designed to bring about the deracialization of American society. In this respect, however, affirmative action requires a measure of dissimulation in order to succeed.Equality and...

Respecting Toleration: Traditional Liberalism and Contemporary Diversity
ISBN: 9780198758594 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The question of toleration matters more than ever. The politics of the twenty-first century is replete with both the successes and, all too often, the failures of toleration. Yet a growing number of thinkers and practitioners have argued against toleration. Some believe that liberal democracies are better served by different principles, such as respect of, or recognition for, people's ways of life. Others argue that because the liberal state should be entirely neutral or indifferent towards people's ways of life, it can no longer be tolerant - it has no grounds on which it can object, and so...
