  Criminal Fraud and Election...

  Deliberate mischaracterization of political opponents and their policies has always been a part of politics; however, lying, dishonesty, and distortion of the facts remain morally wrong and have the potential to obstruct important political interests. For example, a false or misleading claim publicized about an election candidate may lead someone to lose an election that they might otherwise have won. So, does—and should—the law seek to provide protection from the risk of this happening? 
   
   
   
  In attempting to answer this question, Jeremy Horder draws a key distinction between what is called "political viewpoint" fraud and "electoral participation" fraud. In the interests of protecting freedom of speech, false or misleading claims (disinformation) involving political viewpoint content should be tolerated, not only by the criminal law but also by the internet platforms which host political content. By contrast, in the interests of preserving the integrity of democratic electoral processes, disinformation involving electoral participation information should be prohibited by the criminal law and censored by internet platforms. This book explains how the criminal law in various jurisdictions frequently prohibits false or misleading political claims falling into both categories of disinformation, instead of concentrating on electoral participation fraud.

  Finding Francis, finding family, freeing history 
   
   
   
  Francis is found. Beyond Francis, a family is found—in archival material that barely deigned to notice their existence. This is the story of Francis Sistrunk and her children, from enslavement into forced migration across South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. It spans decades before the Civil War and continues into post-emancipation America. A family story full of twists and turns, Finding Francis reclaims and honors those women who played an essential role in the historical survival and triumph of Black people during and after American slavery. 
   
   
   
  Elizabeth West has created a remarkable "biohistoriography" of everyday Black resistance, grounded in a determination to maintain enduring connections of family, kinship, and community despite the inhumanity and rapacity of slavery. There is inevitable heartbreak in these histories, but there is also an empowering strength and inspiration—the truth of these lives will indeed set us all free.

  Puerto Rico - A History of...

  Puerto Rico’s economic history is a complex narrative shaped by its geography, colonial past, and evolving relationship with the United States. As an island strategically positioned in the Caribbean, Puerto Rico has long been a crossroads of trade and cultural exchange. Its economic transformations have been influenced by global markets, shifting policies, and the resilience of its people. From the early days of indigenous trade and Spanish colonial rule to its modern struggles with debt and recovery, the island’s economy has undergone dramatic shifts that reflect broader historical forces.  
  Before European contact, Puerto Rico’s indigenous Taíno population lived in a society largely based on subsistence farming, fishing, and trade with neighboring islands. The arrival of Spanish colonizers in 1493 fundamentally altered the island’s economic structure, introducing mercantilist policies that prioritized resource extraction for the benefit of Spain. The encomienda system, which forced indigenous labor into agricultural production and mining, marked the beginning of Puerto Rico’s long history of external economic control. As sugarcane, coffee, and tobacco plantations expanded, the island became increasingly dependent on these cash crops, with African slaves and, later, poor laborers fueling the agricultural economy.  
  In 1898, Puerto Rico’s economic trajectory changed abruptly when the United States took control following the Spanish-American War. The transition from Spanish to American rule reshaped trade networks, introducing new economic policies that favored U.S. business interests. The Foraker Act of 1900 established a civilian government but left Puerto Rico politically and economically subordinate to the United States. The shift from a Spanish mercantile system to an American capitalist framework brought opportunities but also deep inequalities.
