Chapter 3 synthesizes analyses of changes in both social justice movements and legal and policy institutions to broaden our understanding of interconnections among segregation, environmental disparities, and structural vulnerabilities in low-income communities of color. The Buchanan case highlights a relatively narrow framing of land-use injustice in the early twentieth century: zoning as a tool of racial segregation in housing. Throughout the twentieth century, the struggle for land use justice broadened to address the deep structural inequalities and systemic marginalization of all low-income communities of color, including land-use policies creating disparities in environmental conditions, community infrastructure, and vulnerabilities to disasters, shocks, and change. As both grassroots movements and institutions have evolved to grapple with the persistence and complexity of land use injustice in the United States, building the capacities, power, and resilience of low-income communities of color is critical to transformation and justice, and this growing focus on community capacities has come to characterize land-use justice movements.

Chapter 1, “‘We Are Not Immune’: A New Branch of the Feminist Women’s Health Movement,” begins by describing the emergence of a new coalition of feminists who turned their attention to the HIV epidemic in an attempt to understand how the virus would impact women. Together they realized that HIV was killing women more often than the those in charge of the AIDS response acknowledged. The failure to recognize and respond to issues facing women with HIV was due, in part, to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention definition of AIDS that did not include gynecological infections. The incomplete definition of AIDS resulted in a lack of data on women with HIV and impacted the Social Security Administration’s determinations of who should receive benefits. Allying with lawyers and fellow activists, feminists set out to challenge the law and science of the epidemic.

Traditional pastoral practices have maintained Alpine grasslands over thousands of years, and Alpine biodiversity now depends on these practices. Grasslands are also central to the identity of pastoral communities: They are biocultural landscapes. Across the Alps, these landscapes are now threatened by high rates of agricultural land abandonment as traditional, labor-intensive agricultural methods become uneconomic, and small-scale development increases. The Autonomous Province of Bozen/Bolzano-South Tyrol, Italy, experiences some of the lowest rates of land abandonment and high rates of grassland retention. The case study explores the functions of regulatory intervention and coordination, two of the regulatory functions advanced by this book’s CIRCle Framework of regulatory functions for addressing cumulative environmental problems. It investigates how a diverse set of regulatory interventions provides for maintaining and restoring grasslands in South Tyrol, and how diverse forms of coordination – links between areas of laws, coordinating institutions, and dispute resolution processes – facilitate implementation in a context of deep multilevel governance.

Chapter 1 sets out the methodology of the work-task approach in more detail before providing an overview of the findings. It introduces the sources used, the challenges they present, and the methods adopted to mitigate those challenges, as well as presenting the overall results of our research.

Chapter 5 examines the myriad ways Africans contested their indentureship, arguing that these cultural and economic choices by first-generation recaptive Africans shaped the formation of African work on Grenada. Like the actions taken by enslaved Africans, recaptured Africans left estates temporarily or permanently to establish and maintain bonds with shipmates or those of similar 'nations'. For the majority, African languages were spoken along with French, and church attendance was irregular. Moreover, a preference was expressed for Roman Catholicism because it was compatible with their religious cultures. While many of these choices indicate adaptation to a creolised society, they also demonstrate that adaptation was gradual and measured.

This chapter is the first of three examinations of dominant copyright reversion traditions (UK, US, EU) throughout this book. It traces how reversion rights were present in the very first copyright statute, the 1710 Statute of Anne. It demonstrates how different iterations of reversion rights were hamstrung by poor design and undermining by rightsholders (e.g. by contracting around the intended effects of these provisions). It then canvasses modern developments in reversion rights across the Commonwealth (like in Canada and South Africa).

Chapter 2, “Litigating Risk: The Law and Politics of Disease in the Administrative State,” turns to the litigation and activism that resulted in the shift in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention definition of AIDS and turned attention to women’s risk of contracting HIV. The chapter tracks how litigation and advocacy were central to the shift in the CDC definition of AIDS. Feminist success would result in many more women being diagnosed with HIV, resulting in a greater ability to access benefits. This life-changing shift would mark a major victory for the feminist women’s health movement.

Samuel Goyvaerts explores the notion of liturgical pastoral, the roots of which are to be found in the Liturgical Movement. It is an umbrella term that makes one understand how liturgy is intrinsically connected to the Church’s diakonia, kerygma, and koinonia. Liturgy is essential for building up the Church, for faith formation, and for the faithful’s service to the world.

Despite the scope and demands of his critical philosophy, Kant provided no systematic account of language. In Kant’s works the discussion of language is nowhere close to the attention he gives to other major fields of philosophical inquiry such as cognition, science, human agency, or art. This apparent neglect is mirrored in the literature on Kant and Kantian themes. Contemporary debates on Kant’s ethics, epistemology, and aesthetics typically ignore linguistic presuppositions and implications.

Chapter 6 offers an analysis of the Nicaraguan Revolution with a particular focus on Araceli Pérez Darias, a Mexican citizen of Spanish descent fighting with the Sandinistas on the Western Front in Nicaragua during the late 1970s. She was ambushed, raped and killed in 1979. Using Araceli’s life story as a prism, this chapter offers a unique survey of women’s contribution to transnational warfare in the twentieth century, arguing that their challenges were multiple. Unlike their male comrades in arms, they were generally not allowed to fight at the front. Further, they were often subjected to abuses, and their armed resistance – originally motivated by their opposition to the enemy – eventually became intertwined with their struggle to be accepted as equals by the movement they represented at the front. In addition, the chapter provides the first comprehensive overview of the foreign brigades fighting for the Sandinistas, explaining why some have survived in the collective memory of the revolution while the most decisive of them all, consisting of Panamanian volunteers, were cast into oblivion.

Harald Buchinger sketches the origins and complex evolutions of liturgies in Christian Antiquity. He focuses on patterns of worship and celebration developed in those times, underscoring how difficult it is to draw straightforward conclusions, mainly because of a paucity of sources.

This chapter identifies five fundamental trade-offs of supply chain management. Four of them are operational trade-offs impacting firms’ supply chain networks, resource utilization, and exposure to supply–demand mismatches. The last one is between revenue growth and supply–demand mismatches such that it affects the growth strategy. Elaborating on those trade-offs, this chapter proposes four effective strategies depending on firms’ sensitivity to supply–demand mismatches and business models.

Inspired by interesting research in the field of neuroscience, Dorothea Haspelmath-Finatti argues that singing in a liturgical context is not only an essential part of the act of praising and praying, but it is also healthy.
