Bøker av Geoffrey Stokes

Matthew is born in 1974 and his proud father, Geoffrey, takes him to their family doctor for his first triple antigen vaccination. Within 24 hours, Matthew begins to incessantly convulse. This is a time when no one questions their doctor, their word is sacred. Nothing can be done to stop Matthew's fits, and the doctors only say they are continuously causing more and more brain damage. Geoffrey blames himself and descends into a self-destructive pattern of behaviour, causing his life to spiral downward and out of his control.

In this book the contributors examine the conflicts between indigenous cultures and the demands of liberal democratic states which, while recognising the rights and cultures of their idigenous peoples, expect all institutions to be responsible to their stakeholders. They look at the issues arising from this situation and provide working schemes for addressing these conflicts.
