 Decolonizing research: indigenous storywork as methodology / edited by Jo-ann Archibald Q’um Q’um Xiiem, Jenny Bol Jun Lee-Morgan and Jason De Santolo; with a foreword by Linda Tuhiwai Smith. Decolonizing Research brings together indigenous researchers and activists from Canada, Australia and New Zealand to assert the unique value of indigenous storywork as a focus of research, and to develop methodologies that rectify the colonial attitudes inherent in much past and current scholarship. By bringing together their own indigenous perspectives, and by treating indigenous storywork on its own terms, the contributors illuminate valuable new avenues for research, and show how such reworked scholarship can contribute to the movement for indigenous rights and self-determination.

 The miracle of theism: arguments for and against the existence of God / J.L. Mackie. Mackie examines the arguments for and against the existence of God from an atheistic perspective. “The Miracle of Theism” remains a classic in the field of religious philosophy and is widely considered to be one of the best-stated arguments for atheism in print. While many popular works supporting the atheistic perspective come across as unduly angry and self-righteous, Mackie’s work is a much-needed breath of fresh air. One may disagree with Mackie while at the same time respecting his views.
