Civil Wrongs and Justice in Private Law
"Civil wrongs occupy a significant place in private law. They are particularly prominent in tort law, but equally have a place in contract law, property and intellectual property law, unjust enrichment, fiduciary law, and in equity more broadly. For example, some tort theorists maintain that tort law is best understood as a (or perhaps the) law of civil wrongs and some contract law theorists maintain that breach of contract is a civil wrong. Civi…

Il acceptait son nouvel état avec philosphie”
This essay partially traces the mediation in the work of the Haitian writer René Depestre (b. 1926) between a high culture associated with his poetic vocation and manifestations of and accessibility to popular expression. This issue surfaced spectacularly in a 1950s querelle with Aimé Césaire, who belittled Depestre's commitment to placing his poetry at the service of humanity by following Louis Aragon's precepts about returning to the traditiona…
I Hear, Therefore I Know
This essay discusses the themes and motifs in Ariel Dorfman's play Death and the Maiden and attempts to situate them within a constellation of Southern Cone post-dictatorial traumatic expression, including Jacobo Timerman's testimonial and the 1986 film La historia oficial. The essay argues that not only the specific themes (such as justice, trauma, and revenge in the wake of state-sponsored crimes) but also the historical and demographic context…
Justifying Fiduciary Remedies
Fiduciary remedies are notoriously potent. Fiduciaries who profit from their disloyalty are liable to be ordered to disgorge all of their gains, even where they act for the primary purpose of benefitting their beneficiaries. It is commonly assumed that any plausible justification for disgorgement awards will be inconsistent with formal corrective justice. Formal corrective justice asserts that remedies rectify wrongs and share in the justificatio…

Understanding the Contemporary Caribbean
Thoroughly updated to reflect recent events and trends, this new edition of Understanding the Contemporary Caribbean treats the full range of issues facing the region today

One of the more successful items to emerge from the commemorative outburst marking the tenth anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide in the summer 2005 was the photographic collection Srebrenica by
From Revolutionaries to Citizens
From Revolutionaries to Citizens is the first comprehensive account of the most important antiwar campaign prior to World War I: the antimilitarism of the French Left. Covering the views and actions of socialists, trade unionists, and anarchists from the time of France’s defeat by Prussia in 1870 to the outbreak of hostilities with Germany in 1914, Paul B. Miller tackles a fundamental question of prewar historiography: how did the most antimilita…
Understanding the Contemporary Caribbean
A thorough - and engaging - discussion of the most crucial issues affecting the Caribbean today and the traditions, influences, and common themes underlying the many differences within this complex region
Down but not Out
Scholars of the pre‐First World War French left almost exclusively judge the efficacy of its antimilitarist campaign on the basis of the left's inability to stop war in 1914. Yet by making the prevention of international war the sole criterion for success, they have overlooked significant historical events that often indicate the ability of leftist antimilitarism to challenge blatant abuses of state and military power. This article focuses on one…
