Routledge Handbook of Indigenous Wellbeing
No full textThe Routledge Handbook of Indigenous Wellbeing consists of five themes, namely, physical, social and emotional, economic, cultural and spiritual, and subjective wellbeing. It fills a substantial gap in the current literature on the wellbeing of Indigenous people and communities around the world.
This handbook sheds new light on understanding Indigenous wellbeing and its determinants, and aids in the development and implementation of more appropriate policies, as better evidence-informed policymaking will lead to better outcomes for Indigenous populations.
This book provides a reliable and convenient source of information for policymakers, academics and students, and allows readers to make informed decisions regarding the wellbeing of Indigenous populations. It is also a useful resource for non- government organizations to gain insight into relevant global factors for the development of stronger and more effective international policies to improve the lives of Indigenous communities.No Full Tex

Routledge international handbook of visual criminology
No full textDynamically written and richly illustrated, the Routledge International Handbook of Visual Criminology offers the first foundational primer on visual criminology. Spanning a variety of media and visual modes, this volume assembles established researchers whose work is essential to understanding the role of the visual in criminology and emergent thinkers whose work is taking visual criminology in new directions. This book is divided into five parts that each highlight a key aspect of visual criminology, exploring the diversity of methods, techniques and theoretical approaches currently shaping the field: Part I introduces formative positions in the developments of visual criminology and explores the different disciplines that have contributed to analysing images. Part II explores visual representations of crime across film, graphic art, documentary, police photography, press coverage and graffiti and urban aesthetics. Part III discusses the relationship of visual criminology to criminal justice institutions like policing, punishment and law. Part IV focuses on the distinctive ethical problems posed by the image, reflecting on the historical development, theoretical disputes and methodological issues involved. Part V identifies new frameworks and emergent perspectives and reflects upon the distinctive challenges and limits that can be seen in this emerging field. This book includes a vibrant colour plate section and over a hundred black and white images, breaking down the barriers between original photography and artwork, historic paintings and illustrations and modern comics and films. This interdisciplinary book will be of interest to criminologists, sociologists, visual ethnographers, art historians and those engaged with media studies

Publishers’ Networks and the Making of 21st Century African Literature in English
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Routledge via the link in this recordThis chapter brings into view the ways in which African literary production can be read through the frame of publishers’ networks and in particular argues for book launches as offering moments of instantiation in relation to these networks. The chapter opens by exploring some of the interactions that surrounded the launch of Achebe’s Arrow of God in Lagos and Ngũgĩ’s Weep Not, Child in Nairobi in 1964, making visible the role of key individuals and their relationships in the construction of literary institutions, and in particular relationships between writers (Achebe and Ngũgĩ) and between editors (Higo and Okigbo) which are focused on craft and generative of new writing and publishing. It then provides an overview of previously published work that has shaped an understanding of and approaches to the role of publishers and networks in African cultural production. Building on this, the chapter moves to explore the launch events for Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus in Nigeria in 2004 organised by Farafina and Binyavanga Wainaina’s One Day I Will Write About This Place in Kenya in 2012 organised by Kwani Trust. Through this it examines the complex and shifting relationships at stake in the publishing of anglophone African literature over the last two decades from both outside the continent by publishers in New York and London, and inside the continent by publishers in Lagos and Nairobi

A blast from the past: the terror management function of nostalgia
No full textAccording to terror management theory, people turn to meaning-providing structures to cope with the knowledge of inevitable mortality. Recent theory and research suggest that nostalgia is a meaning-providing resource and thus may serve such an existential function. The current research tests and supports this idea. In Experiments 1 and 2, nostalgia proneness was measured and mortality salience manipulated. In Experiment 1, when mortality was salient, the more prone to nostalgia participants were, the more they perceived life to be meaningful. In Experiment 2, when mortality was salient, the more prone to nostalgia participants were, the less death thoughts were accessible. In Experiment 3, nostalgia and mortality salience were manipulated. It was found that nostalgia buffered the effects of mortality salience on death-thought accessibility.<br/
