Between Rights and Rightfulness
For decades, activists have drawn attention to gender violence across the Pacific Islands and successfully argued for improved state responses. While reforms have been institutionalised in law and government policy, ongoing violence shows that these have limited effectiveness. In Between Rights and Rightfulness, Nicole George investigates how gender violence is regulated in Pacific Island countries, the factors that impede regulatory effectiveness, and women's own efforts and expertise in decreasing gender violence. Incorporating comparative fieldwork in Fiji, Bougainville, and within Kanak communities in New Caledonia, George assesses how gender violence is enabled and constrained by regulations created within and beyond the state. Importantly, the book engages directly with the women affected by systems of gendered regulation to understand how they interpret and navigate the regulatory complex that impacts their security. Drawing on feminist institutional theory and feminist theories of scale, George argues that the regulation of gender and gender violence occurs at a range of scales, and that efforts to enhance women's security require a clear and contextualised understanding of this regulatory complexity. This includes identifying the role of rule takers--actors who make determinations on which rules should be rightfully followed and those that they treat as more contestable. As George argues, women themselves must also be treated as active, but often marginalized, rule takers with knowledge and expertise on rule appropriateness. Providing a novel lens on the logics of rulemaking, Between Rights and Rightfulness offers important insights into how gendered security can be improved and made more meaningful to women who are vulnerable to violence.

Paws in Mourning
Paws in Mourning: A Journey Through Grief and Resilience explores the way dogs experience separation and how their grief mirrors our own. Through the story of Jerry, a spirited Samoyed mourning his companion Namkha, Monica Levert explores the nature of loss. "Grief doesn't always speak in words," she writes. "Often, it curls in corners, hides beneath beds, or sits calmly beside us, defying explanation." Weaving personal narrative with science, she draws on grief theory, neuroscience, and animal behaviour to show how dogs experience, process, and adapt to loss. Literary and artistic references offer a gentle bridge between knowledge and emotion, while practical guidance helps readers accompany dogs through bereavement, separation, and change. This is a lyrical meditation on vulnerability, memory, and the power of presence and attunement. It is for anyone who has loved and lost.

Thinking of You
Mary Beth Runnoe was only eleven when she met Mr. Davis-the charming and worshipful young choir teacher would hold her in thrall for decades.In prose as resolute as it is haunting, Runnoe explores what it felt like to be groomed by an older man as the focus of Davis' inappropriate, yet strongly appealing, attentions and favor. As she was drawn deeper and deeper into his web, her life turned upside down. She became the keeper of his secrets and his closest confidante, carried along amidst the exhilarating expectation that she was somehow more than just a child with a crush on a teacher, and that God himself looked with favor upon their relationship. Today, Runnoe is about the same age as was Mr. Davis when their compelling and inappropriate relationship began. She finds herself looking back on Mr. Davis' influence over the very course of her life-the notes and letters he wrote, the gestures he made, the memories long-buried, the traps she was unable to avoid-to reflect upon the meaning of innocence and faith, and to come to terms with the experience of this older man's attentions and its effect on her development as a woman and an adult.Thinking of You is a story about grooming, the delicacy of power, and the effects of its influence on the powerless. It is a story about reclaiming, repainting, and retelling. And, though it is specifically Runnoe's story, she knows her life experience has not been unique. By sharing her journey, she hopes she might help others find their voices, and their peace, as well.
