Sinopse

Traditional Laws Today explores the intricate relationship between indigenous legal systems and national laws in our modern world. It highlights how customary law remains a cornerstone of indigenous communities, influencing governance, justice, and the upholding of human rights. The book argues for acknowledging and integrating these traditional legal systems into national frameworks, essential for achieving genuine legal pluralism and social justice, particularly given historical marginalization of indigenous laws.

 
The book examines the recognition of indigenous legal systems within national legal frameworks and their impact on self-determination and cultural preservation. For instance, the suppression of indigenous governance under colonial regimes reveals how national laws became tools of assimilation. Through case studies from Africa, Asia, and the Americas, the book illustrates diverse interactions between indigenous and national legal systems, covering land rights, family law, and dispute resolution.

 
Structured in three parts, the book first defines key concepts such as legal pluralism and customary law, then presents global case studies, and finally synthesizes findings. This comparative approach offers valuable insights into legal pluralism, making it an important resource for students, policymakers, and anyone interested in indigenous rights and social justice.

    "Using stories and examples, David Moinina Sengeh presents seven principles for radical inclusion that are AS ACTIONABLE AS THEY ARE POWERFUL." ―Brené BrownFrom an inspiring young global leader—"A MASTER CLASS IN INNOVATION" (Kwame Alexander) for anyone who wants to make the world a better place.The first title from Melinda French Gates’s Moment of Lift BooksAs the newly appointed minister of education in Sierra Leone, David Moinina Sengeh assumed that the administration he served—not to mention his family and friends—shared his conviction that all girls belong in the classroom. He was shocked to learn that many of those closest to him, including a member of his own family, were against lifting a long-standing policy banning pregnant girls from school.Radical Inclusion is the dramatic narrative of Sengeh’s drive to guarantee pregnant girls’ right to an education. His story functions as a parable that can help us all advocate for change by reimagining the systems that perpetuate exclusion.The specifics of his efforts in Sierra Leone are captivating, and the lessons Sengeh shares are universal. In addition to the candid account of his quest for reform, he offers stories and perspective from other parts of his life, drawing on his experiences encountering racial profiling as a Harvard student, developing cutting-edge prosthetic limbs at MIT, and working to combat algorithmic bias as a data scientist.Sengeh offers listners a road map for pursuing radical inclusion in their own lives and work—from identifying exclusions, to building coalitions and adapting to a new normal. His audiobook is essential reading for modern leaders or anyone who hopes to help unleash the power of a world that is truly, radically inclusive.A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.

    Paris Is Not Dead - Surviving...

    The Paris of popular imagination is lined with cobblestone streets and stylish cafés, a beacon for fashionistas and well-heeled tourists. But French-American journalist Cole Stangler, celebrated for his reporting on Paris and French politics, argues that the beating heart of the City of Light lies elsewhere—in its striving, working-class districts whose residents are being priced out of their hometown today. 
     
     
     
    Paris Is Not Dead explores the past, present, and future of the City of Light through the lens of class conflict, highlighting the outsized role of immigrants in shaping the city's progressive, cosmopolitan, and open-minded character—at a time when politics nationwide can feel like they're shifting in the opposite direction. This is the Paris many tourists too often miss: immigrant-heavy districts such as the 18th arrondissement, where crowded street markets still define everyday life. Stangler brings this view of the city to life, combining gripping, street-level reportage, stories of today's working-class Parisians, recent history, and a sweeping analysis of the larger forces shaping the city. 
     
     
     
    In the tradition of Lucy Sante and Mike Davis, Paris Is Not Dead offers a bottom-up portrait of one of the world's most vital urban centers—and a call to action to Francophiles and all who care about the future of cities everywhere.
