Griff ith Review 59: Commonwealth NowEdited by Julianne Schultz and Jane Camens

It is clear that the old empires are long gone, but in the wake of Brexit and the rise of China and India, the shape of a new world order remains unclear. At a time of geopolitical uncertainty, the Commonwealth is poised to play a major role as a values-based net-work that represents a third of the world’s population. Whether this group can exercise real power and inf luence is yet to be determined. Commonwealth Now features writ-ers from around the world who explore the contemporary expe-rience of Commonwealth citi-zens—confronting new challeng-es and reconciling the past.

The Burden: African Americans and the Enduring Impact of SlaveryEdited by Rochelle Riley

As award-winning Detroit news-paper columnist Rochelle Ri-ley writes in her opening essay, “slavery is not a relic to be buried, but a wound that has not been al-lowed to heal. You cannot heal what you do not treat. You can-not treat what you do not see as a problem. And America continues to look the other way, to ask Af-rican Americans to turn the other cheek, to suppress our joy, to ac-cept that we are supposed to go only as far as we are allowed.” The Burden aims to address this prob-lem. It is a must-read for every American.Pub Feb 2018. 5 x 8 in.

It is distinguished from the everyday decisions of police offi-cers to be proactive in specific sit-uations and instead refers to a stra-tegic decision by police agencies to use proactive police responses in a programmatic way to reduce crime. Proactive Policing offers a comprehensive evaluation of pro-active policing that includes not
