Amnesties, Accountability, and Human Rights

By: Renee Jeffery

For the last thirty years, documented human rights violations have been met with an unprecedented rise in demands for accountability. This trend challenges the use of amnesties which typically foreclose opportunities for criminal prosecutions that some argue are crucial to transitional justice. Recent developments have seen amnesties circumvented, overturned, and resisted by lawyers, states, and judiciaries committed to ending impunity for human rights violations. Yet, despite this global movement, the use of amnesties since the 1970s has not declined. Amnesties, Accountability, and Human Rights examines why and how amnesties persist in the face of mounting pressure to prosecute the perpetrators of human rights violations. Drawing on more than 700 amnesties instituted between 1970 and 2005, Renée Jeffery maps out significant trends in the use of amnesty and offers a historical account of how both the use and the perception of amnesty has changed. As mechanisms to facilitate transitions to democracy, to reconcile divided societies, or to end violent conflicts, amnesties have been adapted to suit the competing demands of contemporary postconflict politics and international accountability norms. Through the history of one evolving political instrument, Amnesties, Accountability, and Human Rights sheds light on the changing thought, practice, and goals of human rights discourse generally.

Cash, Color, and Colonialism

The Politics of Tribal Acknowledgment

By: Renee Ann Cramer

Within the context of U.S.-Indian law, federal acknowledgment establishes a trust relationship between an Indian tribe and the U.S. government. Some tribes, however, have not been federally acknowledged, or, in more common language, “recognized.” In Cash, Color, and Colonialism, Reneé Ann Cramer offers a comprehensive analysis of the federal acknowledgment process, placing it in historical, legal, and social context.

The Legendary Uli Women of Nigeria

The Legendary Uli Women of Nigeria

Their Life Stories in Signs, Symbols, and Motifs

By: Ambassador (Dr.) Robin Renee Sanders

Dr. Robin Renee Sanders, having lived in Africa for several years, was always struck by the ancestral, socio-historical and educational aspects of certain African cultural practices, especially languages, artifacts, and sign and symbol systems from the Ovahimba in Namibia and Pygmies in Congo, to the Horom, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, and Fulani of Nigeria. Her experiences on the Continent made her appreciate each and every culture and "its information systems," which in the end she called "communication expressions." The book follows eight extraordinary Nigerian women in the December phase of their lives as they try to preserve the meanings of their endangered sign, symbol, and motif system called Uli (oo-lee). Uli is an acknowledgement of their Igbo history, culture and ancestors. Sanders agrees with others scholars who posit that non-text, non-oral forms of communication expressions such as Nigeria's Uli, and other sign and symbol systems throughout the world, particularly in Africa, are just as important or "viable" as the written word and their meanings should be respected and preserved. Endangered cultural practices, like Uli, are just as important to protect as endangered languages as a symbolic relationship exists between the two.

A Transforming Journey...

By: Vicki Renee Bryant

A Transforming Journey from Common Ground to Holy Ground will never be an easy one-because Change is Always Required. Do you hunger for a Deeper and more Intimate Walk with Jesus Christ? Are you tired of being Lukewarm and Stagnant? Are you willing to allow the Potter to Reshape, Reform and Remodel you? If you answered "Yes" to these questions, then A Transforming Journey is the book for you. Designed to be used as a Daily Devotional in conjunction with a Bible, this volume takes the Reader from the Bondage in Egypt through the Wilderness Wanderings of the Hebrew people, and then into the Promised Land. Covering the five Old Testament books of Exodus through Joshua, and offering daily Insights and Applications, your Christian walk will never be the same once you make the decision to step from the Common Ground of this world onto the Holy Ground God is calling you to. Vicki Renee Bryant describes herself as a Reworked, Redirected and Reborn daughter of the King of Kings. With a past she is not proud of, Vicki could hide in shame. Instead, she uses it to show the Transforming power of Jesus Christ in the life of one who was lost. After receiving Christ as her Personal Lord and Savior on February 14, 1996, she allowed God to put her on the Journey of a lifetime. She is a Christian Bookstore Owner, a Public Speaker, a Bible Teacher and the Author of three books. Her first, For Such a Time as This..., is also a daily devotional. Her second, About Face , is a Wake-up Call to the Apathetic Church. Bryant and her husband Dan are lifelong residents of Owosso, Michigan, and have three lovely grandchildren... Tyler, Hailey and Caleb.

Breed Differences in Dog Behavior

Why Tails Wag Differently

By: Renee Robinette Ha,Tracy L. Brad,James C. Ha

Humans have bred dogs for physical and behavioral characteristics for millennia. These efforts can have unintended side effects, however, which may be either advantageous or cause issues - such as a predisposition to certain medical complaints, or, controversially, behavioural issues. The scientific study of domestic dogs is still in its infancy, but public demand for this information is at a record high as more and more pet owners seek to understand their canine family members. Focusing on the behavioral differences and tendencies that have arisen in different breed lines, this book explores, summarizes, and explains the scientific evidence on what breed can tell us about behaviour - and, crucially, what it cannot. Providing a comprehensive and approachable view of the science behind breed-specific behaviors, this book gives dog enthusiasts from all professional and personal backgrounds a better understanding of why dogs do what they do, and how we can improve our relationships with our canine companions. Covering genetics, phylogeny of canids, temperament, aggression, social behavior, and the history of dog breeding, it is an important read for researchers, students, veterinary practitioners and animal behaviourists, as well as shelter staff, dog trainers, or anyone looking for a greater understanding of dog breed differences.
