Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This anthology represents a unique contribution to the field of human rights in Latin America by focusing on two very fundamental and neglected areas: women and children. Human rights abuses against women are systematically overlooked by international organizations, although women are very often arrested, abused, and raped as punishment for their political activities or those of their husbands or children. In the Catholic courtiers of Latin America, where the ideal of womanhood is the Madonna, the use of torture and rape to strip a woman of her virtue and threats against her children to make it clear that she has lost the ability to protect them have been common practices in military states. This wide-ranging collection of essays and interviews documents a legacy of human rights abuse throughout Latin America and explores the physical and psychological abuse of women and children, the loss of childhood, and the high cost of state terrorism. Included are interviews with leading figures in the struggle for human rights such as Leonor Alonso and leaders fo the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, and articles which discuss how women have come together in the struggle to discover the whereabouts of children and grandchildren who were abducted by the authorities and "disappeared." They show how ordinary women became extraordinary human beings through social and political mobilization and helped to restore democracy in their countries by continuing to speak on behalf of an entire missing generation so that their struggle will not be forgotten." --Descripción del editor.

Download or read book Monuments, Empires, and Resistance written by Tom D. Dillehay and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-04-30 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From AD 1550 to 1850, the Araucanian polity in southern Chile was a center of political resistance to the intruding Spanish empire. In this book, Tom D. Dillehay examines the resistance strategies of the Araucanians and how they used mound building and other sacred monuments to reorganize their political and culture life in order to unite against the Spanish. Drawing on anthropological research conducted over three decades, Dillehay focuses on the development of leadership, shamanism, ritual, and power relations. His study combines developments in social theory with the archaeological, ethnographic, and historical records. Both theoretically and empirically informed, this book is a fascinating account of the only indigenous ethnic group to successfully resist outsiders for more than three centuries and to flourish under these conditions.

Download or read book Times Gone By written by Vicente Pérez Rosales and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These memoirs trace the wild and adventurous life of Pérez Rosales from his childhood up to the 1860s. During that approximately half-century he saw and did more than a dozen ordinary men. At age eleven in Argentina he witnessed the executions of Luis and Juan Jose Carrera. From there, his activities and adventures took him on several journeys on sailing vessels around Cape Horn; to Paris, where he witnessed the July revolution of 1830; to various commercial endeavors including a distillery, the practice of medicine, and cattle smuggling; into service as an advisor to an Argentine warlord; as a miner for precious metals in the north of Chile; as participant in the California Gold Rush in 1849; as director of the government's project for German immigration and settlement in the wild south of Chile; and also as Chilean consul and immigration agent in Hamburg. Around the world, Rosales lived through many of his era's watershed moments. His exciting memoirs offer a chance to relive the rush and chaos of these times--from a much safer vantage.

Download or read book Death and Memory in Early Medieval Britain written by Howard Williams and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-08-31 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How were the dead remembered in early medieval Britain? Originally published in 2006, this innovative study demonstrates how perceptions of the past and the dead, and hence social identities, were constructed through mortuary practices and commemoration between c. 400–1100 AD. Drawing on archaeological evidence from across Britain, including archaeological discoveries, Howard Williams presents a fresh interpretation of the significance of portable artefacts, the body, structures, monuments and landscapes in early medieval mortuary practices. He argues that materials and spaces were used in ritual performances that served as 'technologies of remembrance', practices that created shared 'social' memories intended to link past, present and future. Through the deployment of material culture, early medieval societies were therefore selectively remembering and forgetting their ancestors and their history. Throwing light on an important aspect of medieval society, this book is essential reading for archaeologists and historians with an interest in the early medieval period.

Download or read book Archaeology, Society and Identity in Modern Japan written by Koji Mizoguchi and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-03 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bold and illuminating 2006 study examines the role of archaeology in the formation of the modern Japanese nation and explores the processes by which archaeological practice is shaped by national social and intellectual discourse. Leading Japanese archaeologist Koji Mizoguchi argues that an understanding of the past has been a central component in the creation of national identities and modern nation states and that, since its emergence as a distinct academic discipline in the modern era, archaeology has played an important role in shaping that understanding. By examining in parallel the uniquely intense process of modernisation experienced by Japan and the history of Japanese archaeology, Mizoguchi explores the close interrelationship between archaeology, society and modernity, helping to explain why we do archaeology in the way that we do. This book is essential reading for anybody with an interest in the history of archaeology or modern Japan.
