The Derived and the Deprived


Book Description

THE DERIVED From life, we derive gratification and a reason to live and survive for someone. Our chances heighten, we celebrate life, smile all the way, looking forward to another bright day. Surely, life is virtuous when it co exists with fortunes. The goodness therein is what we look up to- in the continent of Africa. THE DEPRIVED There is deprivation across the continent: from gender disparity to early marriage, domestic savagery, religious discrimination, political instability, child abuse, incest, ailment perception, and maladministration. Every main character in a different story shares her encounter of deprivation in a dissimilar region of Africa using her language and setting.

Deprivation of Liberty in the Shadows of the Institution


Book Description

ePDF and ePUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. During the 20th century the locus of care shifted from large institutions into the community. However, this shift was not always accompanied by liberation from restrictive practices. In 2014 a UK Supreme Court ruling on the meaning of ‘deprivation of liberty’ resulted in large numbers of older and disabled people in care homes, supported living and family homes being re-categorized as ‘detained’. Placing this ruling in its social, historical and global context, this book presents a socio-legal analysis of social care detention in the post-carceral era. Drawing from disability rights law and the meanings of ‘home’ and ‘institution’ it proposes solutions to the Cheshire West ruling’s paradoxical implications.
