Book Synopsis The New Enemy & The Old Enemy by : Trever Herbert
Download or read book The New Enemy & The Old Enemy written by Trever Herbert and published by Digital on Demand. This book was released on 2020-11-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stay safe. Stay at home. This is what the whole world has been told during the greater part of this year, 2020. Lockdown is a term that even both my grandsons of pre-school going age understand. This isolation from the outside world is for our own good, we have been told. And this is probably true. So many millions have been infected by this novel coronavirus, COVID-19. At the time of writing there was more than 35 million infections worldwide1 and more than a million had already succumbed to this deadly enemy of the human race. The disease has not only been a threat to the health of the global population, but has also left, in its path of destruction, crippled economies and, consequently, has added millions to the already high number of unemployed people in the world. In my previous work entitled, The Church, The City & The Virus2, I have contended that probably not all countries have always responded to this pandemic in a manner that had the best interests of most of its citizens at heart. In my humble opinion, this is especially true in the case of our own country, South Africa. It appears now, with hindsight, that from the get-go, political opportunists set themselves up to benefit from the plight and suffering of the people of this nation. Heartless and corrupt, politically connected individuals have enriched themselves, their friends and their families at the expense of the poor and the destitute. The extent of the corruption has not only reached to the high heavens, but has also angered a nation already suffering the worst nightmare imaginable. There are so many sayings and clichés that one can think of that ring chillingly true during these dark days and crazy times. As others have said so many times before, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Evil triumphs when good people do nothing. Those who are silent when they ought to have spoken and were able to, are taken to agree. In South Africa, now, in this author’s view, there remains a confusing silence from very influential and very powerful people whose voices many South Africans have expected to hear. I am not referring to the voices of politicians from opposition parties - sometimes, during this pandemic, politicians opposed to the ruling party have probably made relevant and useful contributions - but one can never be sure whether it is really about the nation’s interest or their own narrow interests. Other good but faint voices have also been heard. There is an organisation named For South Africa or FORSA for short, who have submitted important input to the powers that be, and they should probably be appreciated for that. The South African Council of Churches (SACC) has provided some response as far as the recent wave of corruption is concerned, but the practical possibilities of executing their proposed programme of action has yet to be seen. Many business leaders have spoken - but again, one must hope that it is really about the greater good and in the interest of the vulnerable majority and not about narrow personal, business interest. Trade unions and certain state-salaried employee groups have also made their voices heard. Again, one cannot be sure whether it is out of concern for the nation’s interests or self-interest.

Book Synopsis Domestic Enemies by : Cissie Fairchilds
Download or read book Domestic Enemies written by Cissie Fairchilds and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1983. This book cuts across the class boundaries of traditionally separate fields of social history. It investigates the social origins of servants, their incomes, their marriage and family patterns, their career patterns, their possibilities for social mobility, their political activities, and their criminality. But it also investigates the history of the family and domestic life in France in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries, for servants were, at least until the rise of the affectionate nuclear family in the middle of the eighteenth century, considered part of the families of those they served. Finally, this book is also an essay on the history of social relationships in the ancien régime, not only those between masters and servants but also the broader relationships between the ruling elite and the lower classes. The introduction gives basic facts about the composition of households during the Old Regime and explores the attitudes and assumptions that underlay the employment of servants. It also shows how both these attitudes and the households themselves changed dramatically in the last decades before the French Revolution. Part 1 is devoted to the servants themselves. One chapter deals with their lives within their employers' households: their work, their living conditions, their socializing and leisure-time activities. A second examines their private lives: their social origins, marriage and family patterns, their moneymaking and their criminality. And a third explores their relationships with and attitudes toward their masters. In part 2, the focus shifts to an examination of master–servant relationships from the masters' point of view. The first chapter deals with master–servant relationships in general by discussing the factors that determined how employers treated their domestics. The second and third chapters explore two special relationships: masters' sexual relationships with their servants and their relationships with the servants who cared for them in childhood. The epilogue traces the impact of the French Revolution on domestic service and sketches some of the changes in the household that were to come in the nineteenth century.
Book Synopsis They Called Us Enemy - Expanded Edition by : George Takei

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling graphic memoir from actor/author/activist George Takei returns in a deluxe edition with 16 pages of bonus material! Experience the forces that shaped an American icon -- and America itself -- in this gripping tale of courage, country, loyalty, and love. George Takei has captured hearts and minds worldwide with his magnetic performances, sharp wit, and outspoken commitment to equal rights. But long before he braved new frontiers in STAR TREK, he woke up as a four-year-old boy to find his own birth country at war with his father's -- and their entire family forced from their home into an uncertain future. In 1942, at the order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, every person of Japanese descent on the west coast was rounded up and shipped to one of ten "relocation centers," hundreds or thousands of miles from home, where they would be held for years under armed guard. THEY CALLED US ENEMY is Takei's firsthand account of those years behind barbed wire, the terrors and small joys of childhood in the shadow of legalized racism, his mother's hard choices, his father's tested faith in democracy, and the way those experiences planted the seeds for his astonishing future. What does it mean to be American? Who gets to decide? George Takei joins cowriters Justin Eisinger & Steven Scott and artist Harmony Becker for the journey of a lifetime.

Download or read book Useful Enemies written by Noel Malcolm and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-02 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the fall of Constantinople in 1453 until the eighteenth century, many Western European writers viewed the Ottoman Empire with almost obsessive interest. Typically they reacted to it with fear and distrust; and such feelings were reinforced by the deep hostility of Western Christendom towards Islam. Yet there was also much curiosity about the social and political system on which the huge power of the sultans was based. In the sixteenth century, especially, when Ottoman territorial expansion was rapid and Ottoman institutions seemed particularly robust, there was even open admiration. In this path-breaking book Noel Malcolm ranges through these vital centuries of East-West interaction, studying all the ways in which thinkers in the West interpreted the Ottoman Empire as a political phenomenon - and Islam as a political religion. Useful Enemies shows how the concept of 'oriental despotism' began as an attempt to turn the tables on a very positive analysis of Ottoman state power, and how, as it developed, it interacted with Western debates about monarchy and government. Noel Malcolm also shows how a negative portrayal of Islam as a religion devised for political purposes was assimilated by radical writers, who extended the criticism to all religions, including Christianity itself. Examining the works of many famous thinkers (including Machiavelli, Bodin, and Montesquieu) and many less well-known ones, Useful Enemies illuminates the long-term development of Western ideas about the Ottomans, and about Islam. Noel Malcolm shows how these ideas became intertwined with internal Western debates about power, religion, society, and war. Discussions of Islam and the Ottoman Empire were thus bound up with mainstream thinking in the West on a wide range of important topics. These Eastern enemies were not just there to be denounced. They were there to be made use of, in arguments which contributed significantly to the development of Western political thought.

Book excerpt: Racing from the remote, war-scarred landscapes of the Middle East to the blood-soaked chaos of the U.S.-Mexico border, #1 New York Times bestselling author Tom Clancy delivers a heart-stopping thriller that is frighteningly close to reality. Working behind the scenes for the CIA, ex-Navy SEAL Maxwell Moore arrives at a rendezvous to take charge of a high-ranking Taliban captive and barely escapes with his life. Undaunted, Moore is relentless in his quest to find the terrorist cell responsible, but what he discovers leads him to a much darker conspiracy in an unexpected part of the globe... After years of planning, the Taliban have come to terms with a vicious Mexican drug cartel and agreed to supply them with opium. For the cartel, the deal means money, power, and ultimate control of the drug trade. But for the Taliban, it is a long awaited opportunity: to exploit the cartels and bring the fire of the jihad to the hearts of the infidels, striking against the very heart of America.
