Download or read book In the Name of the People written by Ivo Mosley and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are our 'democracies' truly democratic? In the Name of the People examines the myth of modern democracy and finds it wanting. The various oligarchies of the world blame the madness of modern life on the greed and stupidity of ordinary people: this book argues that, on the contrary, elites indulge a limitless greed for power and wealth under cover of 'giving the people what they want'. As a coda to his short book, Ivo Mosley examines what true democracy has meant over the last two and a half millennia, and examines how it could be incorporated into current political structures to give them meaning, life and accountability.
Book Synopsis In the Name of the People by : Lara Pawson
Download or read book In the Name of the People written by Lara Pawson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 27th May 1977, a small demonstration against the MPLA, the ruling party of Angola – led to the slaughter of thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people. These dreadful reprisals are little talked of in Angola today – and virtually unknown outside the country. In this book, journalist Lara Pawson tracks down the story of what really happened in the aftermath of that fateful day. In a series of vivid encounters, she talks to eyewitnesses, victims and even perpetrators of the violent and confusing events of the 27th May and the following weeks and months. From London to Lisbon to Luanda, she meets those who continue to live in the shadow of the appalling events of 40 years ago and who – in most cases – have been too afraid to speak about them before. As well as shedding light on the events of 1977, this book contributes to a deeper understanding of modern Angola – its people and its politics; past, present and future.

Book Synopsis In the Name of the People by : Tendai Biti
Download or read book In the Name of the People written by Tendai Biti and published by Pan Macmillan South africa. This book was released on 2022-10-03 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shaken by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and staggering after the COVID-19 pandemic, the global political order is entering a new era of volatile uncertainty that may roll back the gains of the last century. Open democracies, where opponents respect one another even as they contest for power, are under threat from the rising tide of populism. In this stark new world, political opponents are enemies to be destroyed by fake news, and independent institutions are being used as tools to perpetuate power. In societies as diverse as Argentina, the Philippines, Tanzania and Hungary, populists have taken power, promising to restore accountability to the people. But, once in office, they have sought to hollow out democracy and to demonise the opposition as they hold onto power and oversee the economic decline of their countries. In the Name of the People examines populism from its Latin American roots to liberation movements in Africa and the rise of a new European nationalism. At its most virulent, populism has destroyed democracies from the inside out, causing social instability, economic catastrophe and, in some cases, authoritarian repression. In other cases, such as in South Africa, populism is a rising threat as strong constitutional guarantees of democratic accountability come under fire. The authors analyse 13 countries across the globe to understand how populism is evolving into a threat to free and open societies, addressing questions such as: Where is populism taking us? Is there hope of a return to rational policy-making? Is the world doomed to descend into ever-greater conflict?
Book Synopsis In the Name of the People by : K R Narayanan
Download or read book In the Name of the People written by K R Narayanan and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2011-10-17 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: K.R. Narayanan’s life graph reflects in many ways the fruition of the promise of ‘equality of status and opportunity’ that the Constitution guaranteed every citizen; from humble beginnings in a remote village to a distinguished career as an academician, diplomat, politician and, finally, India’s first Dalit President, Narayanan embodied modern India’s indomitable spirit. As President, as diplomat and as a citizen of India, Narayanan believed strongly in the ideas and principles that the nation was built upon—nationalism, democracy, economic progress, religious tolerance and social justice—and these found memorable expression in his speeches and writings over the years. In the Name of the People brings together Narayanan’s most important writings spanning five decades, from his first published article in 1954 to the Republic Day speech of 2000. In these pieces, he covers a diverse range of topics, from Indo–US ties and India–China relations to human development, Islam in India and women in politics; from the benefits of the parliamentary system and the need to build democracy from the grassroots to the role of education and technology in development and the importance of a sustainable environment. Also included are personalized accounts of Ambedkar, Gandhi and Nehru, and a good representation of Narayanan’s key presidential speeches. Informed, perceptive and well-argued, the pieces in In the Name of the People constitute one of our greatest statesmen’s reflections on independent India, and are especially striking in their continued relevance to the life of the nation.
Book Synopsis In the Name of the People: Perpetrators of Genocide in the Reflection of Their Post-War Prosecution in West Germany by : Dick De Mildt
Download or read book In the Name of the People: Perpetrators of Genocide in the Reflection of Their Post-War Prosecution in West Germany written by Dick De Mildt and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Name of the People explores the profile of the perpetrators of Nazi genocide as reflected in postwar German trial sentences. It investigates their social background, their `route to crime', and their role in the Nazi extermination apparatus. In addition, it studies the postwar prosecution of these genocidal criminals in West Germany. It describes and analyses the obstacles, `bottlenecks', and omissions in the prosecuting policies and presents their statistical record. It examines the way in which postwar German courts dealt with these criminals by an in-depth study of the trial sentences against two specific groups of genocidal perpetrators: the `Euthanasia' and `Aktion Reinhard' killers. Through a scrutiny of the argumentation of the various courts' sentences in these cases, it presents a detailed picture of the grounds for acquittal, conviction and punishment. It discusses the controversial differentiation of `murder' and `complicity in murder' with regard to these genocidal perpetrators and highlights the ways in which the courts handled complicated questions, such as acting under superior orders, duress, and coercion. The study is intended for a readership consisting of historians, sociologists, criminologists, legal experts and others interested in the `fieldworkers' and modus operandi of the Nazi genocide and Germany's postwar judicial reaction to it.
Book Synopsis The Ruling Elite of Singapore by : Michael D. Barr
Download or read book The Ruling Elite of Singapore written by Michael D. Barr and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01-17 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Barr explores the complex and covert networks of power at work in one of the world's most prosperous countries - the city-state of Singapore. He argues that the contemporary networks of power are a deliberate project initiated and managed by Lee Kuan Yew - former prime minister and Singapore's 'founding father' - designed to empower himself and his family. Barr identifies the crucial institutions of power - including the country's sovereign wealth funds, and the government-linked companies - together with five critical features that form the key to understanding the nature of the networks. He provides an assessment of possible shifts of power within the elite in the wake of Lee Kuan Yew's son, Lee Hsien Loong, assuming power, and considers the possibility of a more fundamental democratic shift in Singapore's political system.

Book excerpt: igo Errejón of Podemos and political theorist Chantal Mouffe here discuss the emergence of these new forces, and in particular of Podemos. They critically engage with both the older traditions and the newly emerging parties and movements; explore new ways of creating collective identities and building majorities; and reflect on the major political challenges facing the left. This is a conversation between two people who are ideally placed to draw on the earlier theoretical work of Mouffe with Ernesto Laclau, and to link it directly into the practice of the new politics.
Book Synopsis In the Name of the People by : Eduard Spehar
Download or read book In the Name of the People written by Eduard Spehar and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-30 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IN THE NAME OF THE PEOPLE is my father's memoir of faith in a higher power and of faith in humanity. It is the thought-provoking story of his love for his family, his love for his Croatian homeland, his conviction that man's inhumanity to man could be overcome and that future generations would learn from these tragedies and choose not to repeat them. The memoir begins with the dramatic trials and tribulations of Eduard's own father as a POW of the Russian Red Army during WWI; his escape on foot over the Ural Mountains, his driving desire to get back to his family and his Croatian homeland. Ironically, Eduard would gain a deeper insight into his father's tribulations years later as he experienced his own sufferings at the close of WWII before finally escaping Communist Yugoslavia years later. World War II in Europe may have been officially over in May 1945, but Communist Yugoslavia's systematic campaign to annihilate its opponents had only just began when Tito unleashed a campaign of terror against any and all opponents to the dictator's new regime. In the early weeks following WWII the Yugoslav National Army, under Tito's direction, accomplished this by slaughtering hundreds of thousands of surrendered Croatian soldiers and citizens, including women and children. In the subsequent weeks and months, Communist Yugoslavia forced the surviving opponents into death marches and slave labour camps where executed prisoners were dumped into mass graves and subterranean caves nightly. Eduard Spehar was caught in this hellish whirlwind and managed to survive it all, living to share his experiences in this thought-provoking memoir, IN THE NAME OF THE PEOPLE. IN THE NAME OF THE PEOPLE is the incredible personal memoir of a young man's survival of state-sponsored genocide as well as a powerful testimonial to the incredible strength of the human spirit. It was also the Communist slogan that the Yugoslav regime stamped on every official document ordering men and women to be executed or sent to slave labour camps - including the document condemning Eduard Spehar. Not only were the words IN THE NAME OF THE PEOPLE an attempt to give legitimacy and to justify barbaric practices but the slogan was, paradoxically, an attempt to make "the people", the citizens of Yugoslavia, complicit in the crimes perpetrated against "the people". This is the story of a man who survived horrific crimes against humanity and yet still, somehow, managed to maintain his belief in God as well as in the intrinsic good of humanity for the remainder of his life.
Book Synopsis Bi Any Other Name by : Lani Ka’ahumanu
Download or read book Bi Any Other Name written by Lani Ka’ahumanu and published by Riverdale Avenue Books LLC. This book was released on 2015-09-23 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I am part of the generation that came of age when Bi Any Other Name was already in print. This groundbreaking anthology gave me the language, courage and sense of community I needed as a young queer woman.” —Daisy Hernández, A Cup of Water Under My Bed The 25th Anniversary Edition Bi Any Other Name: Bisexual People Speak Out first debuted in 1991. This groundbreaking book helped catalyze a national movement for bisexual identity, justice and equality. Often dubbed “the bisexual bible,” Bi Any Other Name was on Lambda Book Review’s Top 100 GLBT Books of the 20th century and became a beloved reference text in many classrooms, doctors’ offices, libraries, and pulpits. A 2007 Mandarin translation was published in Taiwan. The new 2015 introduction of this book updates readers to the enormous changes the past quarter century has brought – for bi people, the larger society and the sexual rights and liberation movement of which we are a part. When did you know? How did you come out? What was your experience? The coming out stories in this book speak to the many ways bisexuals embrace realities outside rigid either/or categories throughout the passage of our lives. Everyday stories of women, men, transgender bisexuals, teenagers to octogenarians, from many different cultures and family arrangements. The fierce truth of these lives made visible puts a check on bisexual erasure, exposing the binary constructions of gay/straight and male/female as oversimplifications that reduce spectrums to mere opposites. Caught between the mainstream culture’s persistent discounting of bisexuality, the sensationalizing characterizations presented in media, and the sexual liberation movement’s continual disregard of bisexuality as a serious identity, bisexual people are often not seen or heard when they speak out. There is a vital need for these earnest voices to be heard in the new century. Enormous cultural changes have occurred in the past 25 years, yes, but understanding bisexualities has just begun.

Book Synopsis The People with No Name by : Patrick Griffin
Download or read book The People with No Name written by Patrick Griffin and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-06 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 100,000 Ulster Presbyterians of Scottish origin migrated to the American colonies in the six decades prior to the American Revolution, the largest movement of any group from the British Isles to British North America in the eighteenth century. Drawing on a vast store of archival materials, The People with No Name is the first book to tell this fascinating story in its full, transatlantic context. It explores how these people--whom one visitor to their Pennsylvania enclaves referred to as ''a spurious race of mortals known by the appellation Scotch-Irish''--drew upon both Old and New World experiences to adapt to staggering religious, economic, and cultural change. In remarkably crisp, lucid prose, Patrick Griffin uncovers the ways in which migrants from Ulster--and thousands like them--forged new identities and how they conceived the wider transatlantic community. The book moves from a vivid depiction of Ulster and its Presbyterian community in and after the Glorious Revolution to a brilliant account of religion and identity in early modern Ireland. Griffin then deftly weaves together religion and economics in the origins of the transatlantic migration, and examines how this traumatic and enlivening experience shaped patterns of settlement and adaptation in colonial America. In the American side of his story, he breaks new critical ground for our understanding of colonial identity formation and of the place of the frontier in a larger empire. The People with No Name will be indispensable reading for anyone interested in transatlantic history, American Colonial history, and the history of Irish and British migration.

Guo Jing has confronted Apothecary Huang, his sweetheart Lotus Huang's father, on Peach Blossom Island, and bested the villainous Gallant Ouyang in the three trials to win the hand of his beloved. But now, along with his two friends and shifus, Zhou Botong of the Quanzhen Sect, and Count Seven Hong, Chief of the Beggar Clan, he has walked into another trap. Tricked into boarding a unseaworthy barge by Apothecary Huang, the three friends will surely drown unless Lotus—who has overheard her father's plans—can find a way to save them. Yet even if they are to survive the voyage, great dangers lie in wait on the mainland. Viper Ouyang, the gallant's uncle and one of the Five Greats of the martial world, is determined to have his revenge on Guo Jing for getting the better of his nephew, and bent on becoming the most powerful master of the wulin.
