First book that specifically deals with criminal practice and procedure in the Caribbean
Written as a textbook but also a useful reference tool for criminal justice professionals
Author is an experienced academic and practitioner, with a wealth of professional experience in Criminal Practice.
Dana S. Seetahal SC was an attorney at law of over 30 years' experience. She was a private
practitioner who appeared for both the defence and the State. She was also a public prosecutor
for several years and a senior lecturer at the Hugh Wooding Law School, Trinidad and Tobago
for 12 years. She held a Master of Science in Criminology from Florida State University and was
a Fulbright scholar. Ms Seetahal wrote widely and presented numerous papers on criminal
justice and related areas. She acted as a criminal justice consultant to governments across the
region and various international bodies. Ms Seetahal was for eight years an independent senator
in the Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago. In January 2006 she was appointed Senior Counsel.
Tragically Dana Seetahal was murdered in May 2014 at Woodbrook, Trinidad. Her untimely
passing left relatives, friends and the legal fraternity in a state of shock at the callousness of her
assassination. In 2011, when I, Roger Ramgoolam, assumed the post of Course Director of
Criminal Practice and Procedure at the Hugh Wooding Law School, St Augustine, I quickly
discovered that this excellent textbook, which was the backbone of the course, would serve as a
valuable guide for both students and practitioners of criminal law. Subsequent to my appointment,
Ms Seetahal released a revised fourth edition to the text that kept abreast of the latest
developments in the law. I consider myself fortunate to have been asked by the publishers of the
previous editions to do the honour of working on a new fifth edition of this text. It is my hope that
the various updates I have inserted into the text will further enhance the quality of the text and
ensure its continued status as an indispensable reference for all persons in the legal fraternity.
Roger Ramgoolam is the course director for Criminal Practice and Procedure at Hugh Wooding Law School. He is an experienced practitioner and has served as state counsel for the Director of Public Prosecutions, San Fernando, as well as in the capacity of Magistrate for the Judiciary of Trinidad and Tobago.

In Teaching Critical Thinking, renowned cultural critic and progressive educator bell hooks addresses some of the most compelling issues facing teachers in and out of the classroom today.
In a series of short, accessible, and enlightening essays, hooks explores the confounding and sometimes controversial topics that teachers and students have urged her to address since the publication of the previous best-selling volumes in her Teaching series, Teaching to Transgress and Teaching Community. The issues are varied and broad, from whether meaningful teaching can take place in a large classroom setting to confronting issues of self-esteem. One professor, for example, asked how black female professors can maintain positive authority in a classroom without being seen through the lens of negative racist, sexist stereotypes. One teacher asked how to handle tears in the classroom, while another wanted to know how to use humor as a tool for learning.
Addressing questions of race, gender, and class in this work, hooks discusses the complex balance that allows us to teach, value, and learn from works written by racist and sexist authors. Highlighting the importance of reading, she insists on the primacy of free speech, a democratic education of literacy. Throughout these essays, she celebrates the transformative power of critical thinking. This is provocative, powerful, and joyful intellectual work. It is a must read for anyone who is at all interested in education today.
