Review Highlights
Title: Nurturing the wellbeing of students in difficulty: The legacy of Paul Cooper edited by Carmel Cefai
Review by: Tristan Middleton
“The respect and affection for Paul Cooper is clearly communicated through the chapters of this eclectic and wide-ranging book, and Cooper’s presence brings together the drive for a more sympathetic learning experience for children and young people who are marginalised in the education system. Written for an international audience, this book will be of particular interest to students and scholars of inclusive education and the development of policy and practice for learners who are marginalised as a result of social, emotional and mental health difficulties.”

Title: Tradizioni del discorso sulla lingua nella stampa periodica italiana dal Settecento a oggi edited by Raphael Merida, Fabio Ruggiano and Sabine Schwarze
Review by: Luisa di Valvasone
“il volume offre una panoramica accurata e approfondita, e permette di comprendere, seguendo la linea del tempo, come il commento sulla lingua nella stampa periodica italiana sia stato non solo un riflesso, ma anche un motore delle dinamiche culturali e sociali italiane dal settecento fino ai giorni nostri.”

Title: The Ecological Vision of J.M.G. Le Clézio by Bronwen Martin
Review by: Josephine Goldman, University of Sydney
“Martin explores four texts by Le Clézio in this book, three of which were published in the twenty-first century—‘Nos vies d’araignées’ (2011), Bitna, sous le ciel de Séoul (2018), and Alma (2017)—along Le Clézio’s 1971 essay ‘Haï’. Martin focuses on the author’s critiques of anthropocentrism through his exploration of the human–animal relation in connection with Gilles Deleuze’s concept of ‘becoming-animal’. She also examines Le Clézio’s melding of the poetic and socio-political throughout his writing, touching on synergies with world philosophies including shamanism, Zen Buddhism, and créolité and highlighting its close links with the literature of Patrick Chamoiseau and Édouard Glissant”
