Blood legacy : reckoning with a family's story of slavery / by Renton, Alex,1961-author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index.When British Caribbean slavery was abolished across most of the British Empire in 1833, it was not the newly liberated who received compensation, but the tens of thousands of enslavers who were paid millions of pounds in government money. The descendants of some of those slave owners are among the wealthiest and most powerful people in Britain today. Alex Renton explores what inheritance - political, economic, moral and spiritual - has been passed to the descendants of the slave owners and the descendants of the enslaved.

Prison born : incarceration and motherhood in the colonial shadow / by Hansen, Robin F.,author.;

Includes bibliographical references and index."A scathing critique of the colonial legal system's denial of children's rights. One afternoon in 2016, lawyer Robin Hansen receives a call. On the other end of the line is "Jacquie" -- a pregnant Indigenous woman, nine weeks from her due date and terrified for the welfare of her unborn son. Jacquie has been sentenced to a custodial prison sentence and her son will be automatically separated from her immediately after his birth. As Hansen works to help Jacquie with her appeal, she uncovers the legal system's inherent discrimination against mothers in custody and the children born to them. Using Access to Information requests along with extensive research, Hansen examines the legal rights of these women -- the majority of whom are Indigenous -- and finds that Jacquie and her son are by no means alone: automatic mother-infant separation without due process remains the norm in most jurisdictions in Canada. Prison Born calls attention to the colonial and gendered assumptions that continue to underpin the legal system -- assumptions that so frequently lead to the violation of the rights and denial of personhood for children and their mothers"--

Separated. by Morris, Errol,film director.; NBC News Studios Film (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;

Originally produced by NBC News Studios Film in 2024.Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Errol Morris confronts one of the darkest chapters in recent American history: family separations. Based on NBC News Political and National Correspondent Jacob Soboroff's book, Separated: Inside an American Tragedy, Morris merges bombshell interviews with government officials and artful narrative vignettes tracing one migrant family's plight. Together they show that the cruelty at the heart of this policy was its very purpose. Against this backdrop, audiences can begin to absorb the U.S. government's role in developing and implementing policies that have kept over 1300 children without confirmed reunifications years later, according to the Department of Homeland Security.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
