Vital Discussions: On Demand – Decolonise Your Bookshelf
No full textJoan Anim-Addo, Deirdre Osborne and Kadija Sesay have curated a decolonised reading list of 50 books that celebrate the wide and diverse experiences of people from around the world.
From literary giants like Toni Morrison and Chinua Achebe to less well-known but equally vital writers such as Trinidadian novelist Earl Lovelace or Indigenous Australian author Tony Birch, the novels recommended here are in turn haunting and lyrical, innovative and inspiring.
Join our speakers for a discussion of these books and their own ‘desert island’ books, as they explore how important it is to decolonise your bookshelves.
This event is presented in partnership with Quercus Books

Criticising judges in Russia
No full textBook synopsis: This title was first published in 2000: In a collection of essays from selected European jurisdictions, the author assesses the legal situation of the offences associated with the criticism of judges and judicial activity. Presenting a comparative study of the management of controversial and often conflicting demands between freedom of expression and the independence of the judiciary, this book reflects on a Europe increasingly characterized by legal harmonization and the attempts to find common and acceptable standards in a field full of uncertainties. A unique work, it provides previously undisclosed insights into the widening debate relating to freedom of expression in a democratic society and the impact of judicial activity. It will be a valuable doctrinal and practical text for researchers and practitioners in the field of human rights and freedom of expression, particularly as these areas relate to the judicial sphere

Challenges associated with hypertensive disease during pregnancy in low‐income countries
No full textCaribbean-Scottish Relations. Colonial & Contemporary Inscriptions in History, Language & Literature
No full textThis book focuses on the historical, cultural and literary representations of various aspects of this complicated interconnection: Anim-Addo’s on family history, Covi’s on identities in African-Caribbean literature, Pollard’s on Jamaican history and language, and Sassi’s on Scottish literature.
They discuss pivotal figures such as Mary Seacole, Charles and Hugh Mulzac, and texts by Walter Scott, Robert Louis
Stevenson, James Robertson, and anonymous Author of Marly, and
by Una Marson, Claude McKay, Olive Senior, Jamaica Kincaid,
and Nourbese Philip among others; they give voice to Juliana Mulzac through (auto)biography and to numerous people through interviews and acts of re-memorying.
This book inaugurates the project to remap history by accounting for the often paradoxical complexity of relations determined by imperial power; not only does it consider that which separates Scotland from the Caribbean, that which sets ‘Blackness’ apart from ‘Scottishness’, but it also accepts an investigation of that which brings these two geopolitical areas and ethnic groups together. The inquiry results in a multi-vocal discourse that deconstructs national narratives, unveils colonial inscriptions, and releases the creolised images and words that demand full citizenship in the representation of the Circum-Atlantic
Etude sur l’utilisation de Primolut N comme un comprimé contraceptif dans la métropole de Kumasi au Ghana.
No full textThis study investigated the use of Primolut N tablet which contains
norethisterone 5mg popularly called N- tablet by users as a precoital
contraceptive by women in the Kumasi metropolis of Ghana. Clients who
called at any of the twenty (20) selected Pharmacies in residential
areas within the Kumasi metropolis demanding the drug, with or without
valid prescriptions were interviewed using a guide. Of the two hundred
and twenty (220) users interviewed, 94% demanded the drug for
contraception and 6% for menstrual disorders. Sixty one percent of
those demanding it for contraception were between the ages 20-25 years.
Respondents preferred the use of norethisterone tablets as a
contraceptive to other methods because it worked for them and they also
found it easy and convenient taking a tablet just before coitus than
taking daily oral contraceptive pills. Norethisterone is being used as
a pre-coital contraceptive, though the efficacy, safety and reliability
of the drug for that purpose is unknown. Until these are known, women
must be discouraged from using the drugCette étude a examiné l’utilisation de Primolut N
(comprimé) qui contient la noréthistérone 5mg et qui est
communément connue comme le comprimé N par les usagers comme
un contraceptif pré coïtal dans la métropole au Ghana.
Les clients qui se sont présentées à n’importe
quelle pharmacie parmi les vingt (20) pharmacies dans les quartiers
résidentiels au sein de la métropole de Kumasi pour chercher
le médicament avec ou sans l’ordonnance valable, ont
été interrogées à l’aide d’un guide.
Sur les deux cent vingt (220) usagères interrogées, 94% ont
demandé le médicament pour la contraception et 6% pour les
troubles menstruels. Soixante et un pour cent de celles qui le
demandaient pour la contraception étaient âgées
d’entre 20 et 25 ans. Les interrogées préféraient
utiliser les comprimés de la noréthistérone comme
contraceptif par rapport aux autres méthodes parce qu’il a
marché pour elles et elles le trouvaient facile et plus convenable
de prendre des pilules contraceptives orales tous les jours. La
noréthistérone est utilisée comme un contraceptif
pré coïtal, bien que l’efficacité, la sureté
et la fiabilité du médicament ne soient pas connues. Il faut
décourager les femmes d’utiliser le médicament
jusqu’à ce qu’on se renseigne sur ces détail
