Louise Erdrich's Justice Trilogy


Book Description

Louise Erdrich is one of the most important, prolific, and widely read contemporary Indigenous writers. Here leading scholars analyze the three critically acclaimed recent novels—The Plague of Doves (2008), The Round House (2012), and LaRose (2016)—that make up what has become known as Erdrich’s “justice trilogy.” Set in small towns and reservations of northern North Dakota, these three interwoven works bring together a vibrant cast of characters whose lives are shaped by history, identity, and community. Individually and collectively, the essays herein illuminate Erdrich’s storytelling abilities; the complex relations among crime, punishment, and forgiveness that characterize her work; and the Anishinaabe contexts that underlie her presentation of character, conflict, and community. The volume also includes a reader’s guide to each novel, a glossary, and an interview with Erdrich that will aid in readers’ navigation of the justice novels. These timely, original, and compelling readings make a valuable contribution to Erdrich scholarship and, subsequently, to the study of Native literature and women’s authorship as a whole.




Son of Justice


Book Description

For more than a dozen years, Eli has studied the art of war from some of the most skilled fighters on three planets. There's no question, he has what it takes to be a professional soldier. There's just one problem. His father is General Grant Justice, the most famous man in the galaxy and leader of a new governmental alliance that unites four alien races. When it comes time to enlist, the younger Justice has to make a choice. Rely on his last name and claim an automatic commission as an officer? Or enter basic training as a lowly private and earn his way to the top? For Eli, the decision is an easy one. He changes his name and enlists as an anonymous recruit. Unfortunately, not all of life's choices have such clear-cut answers. An alien-led rebellion is brewing in the ranks of the army he has just joined, and Eli is forced to choose sides. His actions will determine the fate of his father, the alliance, and the entire human race.




EXTREME JUSTICE


Book Description

A morally intricate and fascinating look at the unjust execution of five German prisoners of war reveals the history of US and German POW camps in a way that “reads like the best legal thrillers” (Gerry Spence, New York Times bestselling author). On November 4, 1943, more than 200 German prisoners of war jammed into the mess hall of an American POW camp in Tonkawa, Oklahoma. Before the evening was over, one of them, Corporal Johannes Kunze—accused of treason—would lie in a pool of his own blood, savagely beaten to death by his fellow prisoners. Within three months, five men present in that mess hall were accused, tried, and sentenced to death for the murder of Kunze—a sentence carried out in July 1945, at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Here, for the first time, the remarkable true story behind these events is revealed: the stark conditions in POW camps, the tactics used by military intelligence to tempt informants and turn prisoners against each other, the one-sided legal battle dominated by a sharp young military prosecutor, and the passions and politics of war that insured there would be no mercy for Kunze and his accused killers. A powerful and controversial account of crime and punishment, Extreme Justice demonstrated how—beyond innocence or guilt—the search for justice can be lost in the desire for blood and revenge.

Cultural Legal Studies of Science Fiction


Book Description

This book presents and engages the world-building capacity of legal theory through cultural legal studies of science and speculative fictions. In these studies, the contributors take seriously the legal world building of science and speculative fiction to reveal, animate and critique legal wisdom: juris-prudence. Following a common approach in cultural legal studies, the contributors engage directly, and in detail, with specific cultural ‘texts’, novels, television, films and video games in order to explore a range of possible legal futures. The book is organized in three parts: first, the contextualisation of science and speculative fiction as jurisprudence; second, the temporality of law and legal theory and third, the analysis of specific science and speculative fictions. Throughout, the contributors reveal the way in which law as nomos builds normative universes through the narration of a future. This book will appeal to scholars and students with interests in legal theory, cultural legal studies, law and the humanities and law and literature.
