Book Synopsis Reframing Human Rights in a Turbulent Era by : Gráinne de Búrca
Download or read book Reframing Human Rights in a Turbulent Era written by Gráinne de Búrca and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, human rights have come under fire, with the rise of political illiberalism and the coming to power of populist authoritarian leaders in many parts of the world who contest and dismiss the idea of human rights. More surprisingly, scholars and public intellectuals, from both the progressive and the conservative side of the political spectrum, have also been deeply critical, dismissing human rights as flawed, inadequate, hegemonic, or overreaching. While acknowledging some of the shortcomings, this book presents an experimentalist account of international human rights law and practice and argues that the human rights movement remains a powerful and appealing one with widespread traction in many parts of the globe. Using three case studies to illuminate the importance and vibrancy of the movement around the world, the book argues that its potency and legitimacy rest on three main pillars: First, it is based on a deeply-rooted and widely appealing moral discourse that integrates the three universal values of human dignity, human welfare, and human freedom. Second, these values and their elaboration in international legal instruments have gained widespread - even if thin - agreement among states worldwide. Third, human rights law and practice is highly dynamic, with human rights being activated, shaped, and given meaning and impact through the on-going mobilization of affected individuals and groups, and through their iterative engagement with multiple domestic and international institutions and processes. The book offers an account of how the human rights movement has helped to promote human rights and positive social change, and argues that the challenges of the current era provide good reasons to reform, innovate, and strengthen that movement, rather than to abandon it or to herald its demise.

Book Synopsis Radio for the Millions by : Isabel Huacuja Alonso
Download or read book Radio for the Millions written by Isabel Huacuja Alonso and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-03 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-winner, 2023 AIPS Book Prize, American Institute of Pakistan Studies Finalist, 2023 Richard Wall Memorial Award, Theatre Library Association From news about World War II to the broadcasting of music from popular movies, radio played a crucial role in an increasingly divided South Asia for more than half a century. Radio for the Millions examines the history of Hindi-Urdu radio during the height of its popularity from the 1930s to the 1980s, showing how it created transnational communities of listeners. Isabel Huacuja Alonso argues that despite British, Indian, and Pakistani politicians’ efforts to usurp the medium for state purposes, radio largely escaped their grasp. She demonstrates that the medium enabled listeners and broadcasters to resist the cultural, linguistic, and political agendas of the British colonial administration and the subsequent independent Indian and Pakistani governments. Rather than being merely a tool of nation building in South Asia, radio created affective links that defied state agendas, policies, and borders. It forged an enduring transnational soundscape, even after the 1947 Partition had made a united India a political impossibility. Huacuja Alonso traces how people engaged with radio across news, music, and drama broadcasts, arguing for a more expansive definition of what it means to listen. She develops the concept of “radio resonance” to understand how radio relied on circuits of oral communication such as rumor and gossip and to account for the affective bonds this “talk” created. By analyzing Hindi film-song radio programs, she demonstrates how radio spurred new ways of listening to cinema. Drawing on a rich collection of sources, including newly recovered recordings, listeners’ letters to radio stations, original interviews with broadcasters, and archival documents from across three continents, Radio for the Millions rethinks assumptions about how the medium connects with audiences.

Book excerpt: “समकालीन भारत की दुर्दशा को देखकर चिन्तित होते हुए भी सुभाषचन्द्र भारत के पुनरुत्थान के सम्बन्ध में निश्चिन्त भाव से आशावादी थे। सुभाषचन्द्र बसु लिखते हैं : भारत यद्यपि अपना सब कुछ खो बैठा है, भारतवासी प्राय: सारविहीन हो गये हैं, परन्तु इस प्रकार सोचने से काम नहीं चलेगा – हताश होने से काम नहीं चलेगा और जैसा कि कवि ने कहा है – ‘फिर से तुम मनुष्य हो जाओ, फिर से मनुष्य बनना होगा ... यही नैराश्य-निस्तब्धता – इसी दु:ख-दारिद्र्य, अनशन, सर्वत्र हाहाकार और इसी विलास-विभव-असफलता के रव को भेद कर फिर से भारत का वही राष्ट्रीय गीत गाना होगा। वह क्या है – उतिष्ठत, जाग्रत। भारत की मुक्ति और पुनरुज्जीवन के तात्पर्य के सम्बन्ध में नेताजी सुभाषचन्द्र स्वामी विवेकानन्द की तरह ही सजग और सचेतन थे। वे सोचते थे – विश्व की संस्कृति और सभ्यता में भारत का योगदान न रहने से विश्व और भी अधिक दरिद्र हो जाएगा। भविष्य के भारत के गठन के लिए भी सुभाषचन्द्र की विस्तृत कल्पना और चिन्तन में विवेकानन्द का प्रभाव दिखाई देता है। देश की राजनैतिक मुक्ति और राष्ट्रीय पुनर्गठन के लिए स्वामी विवेकानन्द की तरह सुभाषचन्द्र बसु देश के युवा समाज के ऊपर सबसे अधिक निर्भर थे, जो सेवादर्श में उद्बुद्ध होकर संकीर्ण व्यक्तिगत, गोष्ठीगत या दलीय स्वार्थ का अतिक्रमण करने में समर्थ होंगे और संगठित प्रयास से समाज की सामग्रिक उन्नति के लिए कूद पड़ेंगे।
Book Synopsis Remembering Reconstruction by : Carole Emberton
Download or read book Remembering Reconstruction written by Carole Emberton and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2017-04-12 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic studies of the Civil War and historical memory abound, ensuring a deeper understanding of how the war’s meaning has shifted over time and the implications of those changes for concepts of race, citizenship, and nationhood. The Reconstruction era, by contrast, has yet to receive similar attention from scholars. Remembering Reconstruction ably fills this void, assembling a prestigious lineup of Reconstruction historians to examine the competing social and historical memories of this pivotal and violent period in American history. Many consider the period from 1863 (beginning with slave emancipation) to 1877 (when the last federal troops were withdrawn from South Carolina and Louisiana) an “unfinished revolution” for civil rights, racial-identity formation, and social reform. Despite the cataclysmic aftermath of the war, the memory of Reconstruction in American consciousness and its impact on the country’s fraught history of identity, race, and reparation has been largely neglected. The essays in Remembering Reconstruction advance and broaden our perceptions of the complex revisions in the nation's collective memory. Notably, the authors uncover the impetus behind the creation of black counter-memories of Reconstruction and the narrative of the “tragic era” that dominated white memory of the period. Furthermore, by questioning how Americans have remembered Reconstruction and how those memories have shaped the nation's social and political history throughout the twentieth century, this volume places memory at the heart of historical inquiry.
Book Synopsis War Memory and the Making of Modern Malaysia and Singapore by : Karl Hack
Download or read book War Memory and the Making of Modern Malaysia and Singapore written by Karl Hack and published by NUS Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Singapore fell to Japan on 15 February 1942. Within days, the Japanese had massacred thousands of Chinese civilians, and taken prisoner more than 100,000 British, Australian and Indian soldiers. A resistance movement formed in Malaya's jungle-covered mountains, but the vast majority could do little other than resign themselves to life under Japanese rule. The Occupation would last three and a half years, until the return of the British in September 1945. How is this period remembered? And how have individuals, communities, and states shaped and reshaped memories in the postwar era? The book response to these questions, presenting answers that use the words of Chinese, Malays, Indians, Eurasians, British and Australians who personally experienced the war years. The authors guide readers through many forms of memory: from the soaring pillars of Singapore's Civilian War Memorial, to traditional Chinese cemeteries in Malaysia; and from families left bereft by Japanese massacres, to the young women who flocked to the Japanese-sponsored Indian National Army, dreaming of a march on Delhi. This volume provides a forum for previously marginalized and self-censored voices, using the stories they relate to reflect on the nature of conflict and memory. They also offer a deeper understanding of the searing transit from wartime occupation to post-war decolonization and the moulding of postcolonial states and identities.

Book excerpt: Characters from the Histories and Memoirs of the Seventeenth Century is about the art and portraiture of famous figures during the 1600s. Excerpt: "The art of literary portraiture in the seventeenth century developed with the effort to improve the writing of history. Its first and at all times its chief purpose in England was to show to later ages what kind of men had directed the affairs and shaped the fortunes of the nation. In France it was to be practiced as a mere pastime; to sketch well-known figures in society, or to sketch oneself, was for some years the fashionable occupation of the salons."
Book Synopsis We, the Japanese People by : Dale M. Hellegers
Download or read book We, the Japanese People written by Dale M. Hellegers and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the definitive story of how the United States attempted to turn Japan into a democratic and peace-loving nation by drafting a new constitution for its former enemy--and then pretending that the Japanese had written it. Based on scores of interviews with participants in the process, as well as exhaustive research in Japanese and American records, the book explores in vivid detail the thinking and intentions behind the drafting of the constitution. Confusion and strife marked planning for the democratization of Japan, first in Washington, then in occupied Tokyo. Policy makers in the State, War, and Navy departments, the Joint Chiefs, and the White House contended bitterly over how to devise an "unconditional surrender" that would minimize Allied casualties while according the victor supreme authority over a soundly defeated Japan. By war's end, there were still no firm guidelines on a host of crucial issues, including how the Japanese system of government could be made acceptably democratic. The first months of occupation were chaotic, with General MacArthur organizing his staff around loyal followers and edging out experts sent from Washington. Hampered by a narrow interpretation of the terms of surrender and wishful thinking about Japanese compliance with American expectations, MacArthur set in motion a fiasco. Because of a translator's error, Prince Konoye, three-time Prime Minister of Japan, thought MacArthur had entrusted him with revising the Japanese constitution and assembled a staff of constitutional law experts and set to work. However, conservatives in the Japanese cabinet denounced his efforts and produced their own version, which MacArthur found unacceptable. MacArthur then secretly instructed his staff, with its very limited knowledge of either Japan or constitutional law, to draft a new Japanese constitution, which amazingly they did in a week's time. Expecting approval of its own draft, the Japanese cabinet was stunned when presented with a completely different American document. So unrelenting was the pressure exerted by MacArthur's officers that it was clear to members of the cabinet they had no choice but to adopt the American draft more or less intact, and publish it as their own. Because of the broad range of its meticulous research, the book will be a standard reference not only for students of Japanese history but also for legal scholars, diplomatic historians, and political scientists.
