Redress: Ireland's Institutions and Transitional Justice

Katherine O'Donnell

Sinopse

How will Ireland redress its legacy of institutional abuse? What constitutes justice? What is Transitional Justice? How might democracy evolve if survivors' experiences and expertise were allowed to lead the response to a century of gender- and family separation-based abuses? REDRESS: Ireland's Institutions and Transitional Justice seeks the answers. This collection explores the ways in which Ireland – North and South – treats those who suffered in Magdalene Laundries, Mother and Baby Homes, County Homes, industrial and reformatory schools, and in a closed and secretive adoption system, over the last 100 years. The essays focus on the structures which perpetuated widespread and systematic abuses in the past and consider how political arrangements continue to exert power over survivors, adopted people and generations of relatives, as well as controlling the remains and memorialisation of the dead. As we mark the centenary of both jurisdictions on the island of Ireland, REDRESS: Ireland's Institutions and Transitional Justice forensically examines the two states' so-called 'redress' schemes and investigations, and the statements of apology that accompanied them. With diverse and interdisciplinary perspectives, this collection considers how a Transitional Justice-based, survivor-centred, approach might assist those personally affected, policy makers, the public, and academics to evaluate the complex ways in which both the Republic and Northern Ireland (and other states in a comparative context) have responded to their histories of institutionalisation and family separation. Importantly, the essays collected in REDRESS: Ireland's Institutions and Transitional Justice seek to offer avenues by which to redress this legacy of continuing harms.

The Editors are donating all royalties in the name of survivors and all those affected by Ireland's carceral institutions and family separation to the charity Empowering People in Care (EPIC).

Empire Rewritten

Santiago Machain

What if Alexander the Great never died in Babylon? 
Empire Rewritten reimagines a world where the most brilliant conqueror of the ancient world lives on—and reshapes everything. From surviving the fever that took him in his prime, to confronting rebellion in Greece and forging a global army, this book explores the turning point of a life extended and a history rewritten. 
This is not dry historical theory. It's living, breathing storytelling—deeply human, yet rich with global vision. With immersive characters, geopolitical stakes, and a reimagined ancient world pulsing with possibility, Empire Rewritten is the beginning of an epic journey that spans not just continents—but ideas. 
This first book covers Alexander's survival, the renewed Persian dream, his growing spiritual aura, the resistance from within Greece, and his deeper dive into unifying cultures by choice, not force. This is where myth meets the realpolitik of empire—and a different future begins.

A Rare Recording of Lord Haw-Haw

Lord Haw-Haw

Lord Haw-Haw was a nickname given to the American-born Brit, William Joyce, who broadcast Nazi propaganda to Britain from Germany during the Second World War. Lord Haw-Haw was a Nazi broadcaster during World War II. Joyce emigrated to Germany and broadcast Nazi messages for several years. The Reich Ministry of Propaganda used these broadcasts to discourage and demoralize Allied forces and the British population by exaggerating their war losses. Up to 60% of the British population actually tuned in to Lord Haw-Haw’s broadcasts. They lasted from 1939-1945. Eventually Joyce was captured by Allied forces and brought back to England for trial. He was convicted of treason and hanged on January 3, 1946. This recording from April 9, 1940 is about the Nazi invasion of Denmark and Norway.
