Book Description

The International Labor Organization (ILO), founded in 1919 at the Paris Peace Conference, was the first international organization established prior to World War II to mention women in its constitution. Organized to promote the “protection of young children, young persons and women,” its original Labor Charter stood by the principle that “men and women should receive equal renumeration for work of equal value.” Social Justice for Women provides the first comprehensive and analytical history of the ILO with respect to women, examining the origins, operations, and successes and weaknesses of its policies.
Carol Riegelman Lubin, a staff member of ILO for seventeen years, and Anne Winslow, for twenty-two years editor for the Carnegie Endowment, explore the important role played by women of the American and British trade union movement in the founding of the ILO. In surveying the organization’s history and structure, they ask how the ILO’s concern with women has manifested over the years, if it was faithful to its constitution, how it dealt with conflicting needs of women from industrialized nations and Third World countries, and what its relationship was to the international feminist movement. Drawing on case studies and analyses of literature on women and work, the authors identify the role of other international organizations in response to the ILO in fostering, or sometimes hindering, women’s development in the labor area.

Book Description

What do we really know about the impending Caribbean Court of Justice? The vexed issue of the Court's establishment has been the subject of much debate but how much of this debate is informed by the facts?

This new book bridges the information gap and provides an authoritative guide to the composition, function and administration of this new Court. In a comprehensive yet clear and concise style, the reader is given a background to the more contentious issues such as the funding of the Court, its constitutionality, its original and appellate jurisdiction and the process of delinking from the Privy Council.

The exposition and analysis is complemented by an Appendix which includes the Agreements Establishing the Caribbean Court of Justice and the CCJ Trust Fund as well as the accords concerning the Regional Judicial and Legal Services Commission.

The Caribbean Court of Justice: Closing the Circle of Independence is a welcomed and much-needed contribution to the ongoing debate and a valuable starting point for any stakeholder in the judicial process.

Book Description

A rowdy party, booze, boys, and a stripper-and after a wild night of living it up, charges of assault and rape were leveled at certain members of the Duke lacrosse team. When the district attorney brought charges, it seemed like an easy verdict. Few suspected then that this national blockbuster of a news story was all based on lies.
Seasoned trial attorney Nader Baydoun deconstructs the case and reveals the egregious misconduct that led to a rush to judgment and a gross injustice. By presenting the evidence with a trained eye for detail, Baydoun exposes the political pandering of the district attorney, his neglect of crucial evidence, the way in which he stacked the case against the innocent suspects, and how he tenaciously believed unreliable victim testimony-all to ensure his reelection. Baydoun also takes the university leadership to task for its failure to support the students in the case.
In this gripping tale of injustice, Baydoun sets the record straight and points the way to justice for the real victims.

Profound and revealing.......2007-06-28

This book requires a strong stomach to digest the insane way the Duke Three were treated by the administration and the group of Professors who are still at Duke. Wonderfully written with insight and style.
Would have liked more information as to how Dr. Brodhead was convinced to reinstate the program.

Great Book About Shocking Injustice .......2007-06-20

This is a powerful book that is co-written by a gradate of Duke University who came to realize just how despicable the actions of both Duke administrators and faculty have been in the Duke Rape Hoax.

This book provides an especially powerful indictment of the maladministration of University President Richard Brodhead and quotes the following passage from a letter sent to Brodhead by a Duke alumnus:

"You are quoted as saying, `I embrace athletics at Duke.' My God, President Brodhead, if the way you treated those three players, the team, and the coach is your idea of an embrace, what do you do when you dislike someone or something?"

The above quote is well worth rereading and pondering.

Other insights from this book include:

*If all 46 members of the lacrosse team deny both doing anything wrong themselves and having any knowledge of any other player doing anything wrong, then the administration should have taken this as proof that nothing wrong happened. This reveals a shocking lack of common sense by the Duke adminstrators.

*The Group of 88 faculty members who ran a number of ads urging students to form opinions about the case based solely on race and class and forget about emerging facts about the case, are people who are committed to politics and not to justice.

*Prior to his indictment, Colin Finnerty was widely regarded by his friends and teammates as being the guy who was least likely to be prosecuted due to his being the nicest guy on the team.

*Wes Covington was interviewed for this book and told of Nifong's arrogant behavior. One day, an intern approached Nifong and want to shake hands with him. Nifong's response? To refuse the handshake on the grounds that, "I don't shake hands with interns."

*Durham Police Department Sergeant Mark Gottlieb complained to Covington that Nifong was pressuring him to arrest players sooner rather than later.

*Bob Ekstrand was also interviewed for this book and he related a chilling story of how Nifong wanted to have two of the players arrested in class, purely for reasons of publicity, but was blocked by a judge.

All in all, a great book about shocking injustice in the Land of the Free.

Incredibly Detailed and Riveting!.......2007-06-19

I have followed the Duke Lacrosse Case closely and thought I was completely filled in until I read this thoroughly researched and very detailed account. The authors obviously went to great lengths to get the inside story and they wrote it with a strong sense of compassion while at the same time not holding back their disgust and disappointment for the Duke administrators, the Group of 88, the police, Nifong, the New Black Panthers, etc. One of the authors is a NY Times best seller while the other is a Duke alumnus who is very passionate about his love for Duke, but maintained that his mission was to report the truth no matter what he found out while visiting Duke during his research. And that's just what the authors did. They uncovered unknown details from insiders closely involved with the story. Some of the revelations truly shocked me.

I commend the authors for their obvious concern for the players and their families and for their detailed descriptions of the three falsely accused players. The picture is not at all the one the media led us to believe early on. In fact, if half of the facts in the book about the three young men are true, it is beyond me that Nifong was able to get as far as he did with his prosecution. But he's getting what he deserves now, as the authors predicted. They also suggest that criminal charges are on the horizon and it looks as though they might be right.

There is a legal side to the book which lays out how the case progressed. Thankfully, the authors, both attorneys, had the sense to put it into simple terms so readers could understand every step of the process.

All in all, it is an excellent book, one that fills in all of the missing facts and doesn't add the fluff that some books do. I highly recommend it!
