There are few more moving experiences than for the silenced to be heard. Chrissie Foster is the mother who brought the rich and powerful Catholic Church to its knees over its global abuse of children, including two of her daughters, Emma and Katie. Like the Boston Globe's Spotlight team, she built an undeniable case in her first book, Hell on the Way to Heaven, which helped inspire Australian governments to hold world-leading inquiries. This is what happened next. Grieving the death of Emma and the catastrophic accident that left Katie largely using a wheelchair and unable to care for herself, and bullied by the Catholic Church, Chrissie Foster somehow found the strength to win and bring about changes in child safety that she hopes will last forever. From the cities and towns of Australia all the way to Rome, her tenacity and bravery to see justice delivered are unequalled. In this confronting account she explains the incredible battle she fought together with her husband, Anthony, and how she found the strength to continue even after his tragic and untimely death. Her ongoing activism inspires others to challenge once-powerful male-dominated institutions. In the face of horrifying adversity, Chrissie Foster has come through it to a place of peace.

Set in the vibrant neighborhood of Point Breeze, this collection of fourteen fictional short stories and two memoirs explores the rich tapestry of American history from the frontier days to the 21st century. Key events include the struggles of an Irish settler family in the 1700s, the 1877 railroad strike, and the tumultuous Prohibition era. The narratives, particularly rooted in the 1950s and 1960s Baby Boom, celebrate the neighborhood's colorful characters and evoke deep emotions of nostalgia, culminating in heartfelt coming-of-age memoirs that honor the author's heritage.

The book critiques the rise of unrestrained vampire-capitalism, highlighting its disconnection from the needs of citizens and workers, which exacerbates social divisions across class, gender, and ethnicity. It examines the detrimental effects of a cultural focus on self-realization that hampers collective action against pressing issues like climate change and technological disruption in labor. Through sociological and political economic analysis, it investigates the origins of these challenges and proposes pathways toward alternative social economies for a more equitable future.

The history of migration from prehistoric man's first steps out of the Rift Valley to the present-day exodus from Syria, and the effects migration has had on language and culture, artistic and scientific advancement throughout history.

This is an unusual book. Combining social science fiction, utopianism, pragmatism, sober analysis and innovative social theory, the authors address one of the biggest dilemmas of our age – how to solve the problems arising from mass displacement. As early versions of the solution proposed by Robin Cohen and Nicholas Van Hear filtered out, their vision of a new, networked, transnational archipelago, called Refugia, was immediately denounced or met with scepticism by established refugee scholars. Others were more intrigued, more open-minded, or perhaps just holding their fire until this book was finally published. As it at least has the virtue of originality, why not judge the proposal for yourself? Read it and craft your own critique. The authors have initiated an openly pro-refugee vision that all can help to shape. Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to scholars, students, practitioners and an informed public ready to engage with this pressing issue.
