Cannibal Democracy
Zita Nunes argues that the prevailing narratives of identity formation throughout the Americas share a dependence on metaphors of incorporation and, often, of cannibalism. The construction of a national and racial identity through a process of assimilation, Nunes asserts, presupposes a remainder, a residue. Cannibal Democracy explores what is left behind in the formation of identities and addresses the limits of the contemporary discourse of democracy.

PROTOCOL: The effects of resettlement/re‐entry services on crime and violence in children and youth: A systematic review
This is the protocol for a Campbell systematic review. The goal of the study is to examine the impacts of aftercare/resettlement interventions on youth with respect to criminogenic outcomes, and to examine factors related to intervention success. Specific objectives are as follows: (1) What is the impact of aftercare/resettlement interventions on youth with respect to outcomes of crime and violence? (2) How is the treatment effect of aftercare/resettlement interventions on crime and violence outcomes moderated by factors such as participant (e.g., age, race, ethnicity, sex, offender type), treatment (e.g., intensity and quality of implementation), methodological (e.g., measurement of crime, study design, timing of follow‐up measures), and study characteristics (e.g., date of publication, peer‐reviewed status)? (3) Are some types of aftercare/resettlement interventions more effective than others? (4) What are the barriers and facilitators to effective implementation of aftercare/resettlement interventions? (5) What are the mechanisms (theory of change) underlying aftercare/resettlement interventions? (6) What does the available research suggest regarding the cost of aftercare/resettlement interventions?

Race, place, and suburban policing
While considerable attention has been given to encounters between black citizens and police in urban communities, there have been limited analyses of such encounters in suburban settings. Race, Place, and Suburban Policing tells the full story of social injustice, racialized policing, nationally profiled shootings, and the ambiguousness of black life in a suburban context. Through compelling interviews, participant observation, and field notes from a marginalized black enclave located in a predominately white suburb, Andrea S. Boyles examines a fraught police-citizen interface, where blacks are segregated and yet forced to negotiate overlapping spaces with their more affluent white counterparts.

'Transfiguring the Soul of Childhood': Du Bois's Private Vision and Public Activism for Black Children
Du Bois's most frequently studied relationship to the topic of Black children has focused on his publications directly addressed to them. However, throughout his life, Du Bois wrote extensively on the significance of Black children, and by unearthing unexamined archival records and writings, this article argues Du Bois put into practice a form of \"transfiguring childhood.\" This insight into Du Bois's treatment of childhood both deepens the level of understanding of his concepts of racial consciousness and also provides context and a historical explanation for the development of his magazine intended specifically for children, The Brownies' Book.
