Re-enacting National Histories: "Outback House" and Narratives of Australia's Colonial Past2009 •
In this study we analyze the cemeteries of Curaçao, a small desert island in the Dutch West Indies near the coast of Venezuela that was once a crucial player in colonial smuggling and the slave trade. Our study compares the island’s Jewish (Spanish-Portuguese), Protestant (primarily Dutch), and Catholic (Afro-Curaçaoan) cemeteries. Following the work of Dickran and Ann Tashijian, Keith Cunningham, Lynn Gosnell, Suzanna Gott and others, we interpret these stones within the religio-cultural context of the people who used them. We argue that whereas ethnic cemeteries in the United States often emphasize the distinctiveness of the communities, Curaçao’s cemeteries emphasize both ethnic distinction and ethnic elision. The permeability of racial and religious boundaries in the cemeteries reflects the island’s complicated racial history and is an important reminder of how race is often constructed differently outside of the United States. This permeability should not be confused with social equality: indeed, as racial categories became more fluid following emancipation, islanders used other categories such as wealth and status displays to reinforce social privilege within (as opposed to between) ethnic groups.
Despite reams of paper dedicated to reviewing and evaluating restorative justice, there appears to be a dearth of literature on the manner in which restorative justice is transferred between states and the factors that shape the form that it ultimately assumes. This paper uses the Czech Republic as a case study to reveal the factors that both promote and inhibit restorative justice adoption and integration to bridge this gap in the literature. The author argues that the country’s location within Europe makes it particularly susceptible to ideas from the West and that its historical background has facilitated not only a tolerance of Western values and practices, but also a desire to embrace them. However, the historical particulars of the country also pose limitations in the extent to which restorative justice may become embedded in conflict resolution. This highlights the fact that there not only has to be a political support for alternative sentencing initiatives, but also that any programme adopted from elsewhere will be shaped by the historical, social and cultural characteristics of that jurisdiction.

Investigating the Use of Advertising for Communicating a Hotel's Strategic Assets2000 •
This chapter is an attempt to clarify two main cultural products of the Deep Sea Canoe Movement which is rooted in a recently evolving evangelical ethno-theology among To'abaita speakers on the island of Malaita, Solomon Islands. I describe and analyse a documentary film (2004) and a number of books published from 2006 onwards. The documentary film asserts a verisimilitude between an ancestral shrine and the Temple in the Old Testament, and speaks to an international audience while engaging in local disputes. The books narrate, idiosyncratically, the revelational origin of the movement and its evolvement in relation to international evangelical prayer meetings.
