Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As evidence emerged of the genocide in Rwanda in 1994, the outside world reeled in shock. What could have motivated these individual and collective acts of evil? In 1998, Véronique Tadjo traveled to Rwanda to try to find out. She started with the premise that what happened in Rwanda concerns us all: “We need to understand. Our humanity is in peril.” The Shadow of Imana is a reminder that humankind the world over is capable of genocide. Records of what the author saw—sites of massacres, corpses, weapons dumps—are combined with personal stories of traumatized returnees, bereaved survivors, rape victims, orphans, lawyers faced with the impossible task of doing justice, prisoners. But Tadjo’s story goes beyond mere reportage of death and cruelty. Her poetically wrought account incorporates traditional tales, explores the spiritual legacy of the genocide, and uncovers a healing vitality as well as a commitment to forgiveness. Véronique Tadjo was born in Paris and grew up in Côte d’Ivoire. The Shadow of Imana has been translated from the French by Véronique Wakerley.

Book excerpt: - Idiotie? Moi idiote ? Tu ne le rediras pas tout le restant de ta vie, chien ! Et de toute ta descendance, il ne s'en trouvera pas un seul qui atteindra l'âge où l'on parle à autrui de cette manière puante. Je te déclare au cœur de cette nuit et au nom de tous les esprits sacrés qui s'y meuvent habituellement. J'ai parlé ! A peine avait-elle proféré ces dernières paroles, que tante Akitibgo se précipita hors de la pièce où ils étaient réunis. Elle était en proie à une furie extrême. La vieille femme s'enfonça dans le noir en bredouillant des paroles inintelligibles. Personne n'entreprit de la retenir. Les autres participants se recueillirent sous un silence pesant. Ils entendirent un hibou hululer dans la nuit. Voilà comment furent plantés, au creux de la nuit, dans le terreau fumant de la haine, les germes de la guerre des choses - dans - l'ombre. Elle allait opposer, des années durant, Joseph Lanta alias Frère Joe, d'abord à une partie des membres de sa propre famille de Katagon, puis d'escalade en escalade, à toute la confrérie des sorciers du pays toli.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do warlords survive and even thrive in contexts that are explicitly set up to undermine them? How do they rise after each fall? Warlord Survival answers these questions. Drawing on hundreds of in-depth interviews in Afghanistan between 2007 and 2018, with ministers, governors, a former vice-president, warlords and their entourages, opposition leaders, diplomats, NGO workers, and local journalists and researchers, Romain Malejacq provides a full investigation of how warlords adapt and explains why weak states like Afghanistan allow it to happen. Malejacq follows the careers of four warlords in Herat, Sheberghan, and Panjshir—Ismail Khan, Abdul Rashid Dostum, Ahmad Shah Massoud, and Mohammad Qasim Fahim). He shows how they have successfully negotiated complicated political environments to survive ever since the beginning of the Soviet-Afghan war. The picture he paints in Warlord Survival is one of astute political entrepreneurs with a proven ability to organize violence. Warlords exert authority through a process in which they combine, instrumentalize, and convert different forms of power to prevent the emergence of a strong, centralized state. But, as Malejacq shows, the personal relationships and networks fundamental to the authority of Ismail Khan, Dostum, Massoud, and Fahim are not necessarily contrary to bureaucratic state authority. In fact, these four warlords, and others like them, offer durable and flexible forms of power in unstable, violent countries.

Download or read book Gabrielle Petit written by Sophie De Schaepdrijver and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In central Brussels stands a statue of a young woman. Built in 1923, it is the first monument to a working-class woman in European history. Her name was Gabrielle Petit. History has forgotten Petit, an ambitious and patriotic Belgian, executed by firing squad in 1916 for her role as an intelligence agent for the British Army. After the First World War she was celebrated as an example of stern endeavour, but a hundred years later her memory has faded. In the first part of this historical biography Sophie De Schaepdrijver uses Petit's life to explore gender, class and heroism in the context of occupied Europe. Petit's experiences reveal the reality of civilian engagement under military occupation and the emergence of modern espionage. The second part of the book focuses on the legacy and cultural memory of Petit and the First World War. By analysing Petit's representation in ceremony, discourse and popular culture De Schaepdrijver expands our understanding of remembrance across the 20th century.

Download or read book Reforming Intelligence written by Thomas C. Bruneau and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2009-04-20 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These days, it's rare to pick up a newspaper and not see a story related to intelligence. From the investigations of the 9/11 commission, to accusations of illegal wiretapping, to debates on whether it's acceptable to torture prisoners for information, intelligence—both accurate and not—is driving domestic and foreign policy. And yet, in part because of its inherently secretive nature, intelligence has received very little scholarly study. Into this void comes Reforming Intelligence, a timely collection of case studies written by intelligence experts, and sponsored by the Center for Civil-Military Relations (CCMR) at the Naval Postgraduate School, that collectively outline the best practices for intelligence services in the United States and other democratic states. Reforming Intelligence suggests that intelligence is best conceptualized as a subfield of civil-military relations, and is best compared through institutions. The authors examine intelligence practices in the United States, United Kingdom, and France, as well as such developing democracies as Brazil, Taiwan, Argentina, and Russia. While there is much more data related to established democracies, there are lessons to be learned from states that have created (or re-created) intelligence institutions in the contemporary political climate. In the end, reading about the successes of Brazil and Taiwan, the failures of Argentina and Russia, and the ongoing reforms in the United States yields a handful of hard truths. In the murky world of intelligence, that's an unqualified achievement.

This book was released on 2022-11-11 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Treaty of Versailles to the 2018 centenary and beyond, the history of the First World War has been continually written and rewritten, studied and contested, producing a rich historiography shaped by the social and cultural circumstances of its creation. Writing the Great War provides a groundbreaking survey of this vast body of work, assembling contributions on a variety of national and regional historiographies from some of the most prominent scholars in the field. By analyzing perceptions of the war in contexts ranging from Nazi Germany to India’s struggle for independence, this is an illuminating collective study of the complex interplay of memory and history.

Download or read book Vies Dans L'Ombre Avec J. Krishnamurti written by Radha Rajagopal Sloss and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-01-17 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durant sa longue existence, le penseur religieux J. Krishnamurti (1895-1986) a conquis l'esprit de millions de gens à travers l'Europe, l'Inde, l'Australie et l'Amérique du Nord. Disparu en 1986, il reste pour beaucoup une référence centrale dans les mouvements de libération spirituelle qui ont fleuri au XXe siècle. Parmi les nombreuses biographies qui lui ont été consacrées, celle qu'a écrite Radha Sloss occupe une place tout à fait à part qu'elle est sûre de conserver compte tenu de l'exceptionnelle qualité des souvenirs sur lesquels elle est basée: ceux de l'auteur, fille adoptive de Krishnamurti, ceux de son père ensuite, Desikacharya Rajagopal (dit Raja), meilleur ami et plus proche collaborateur de Krishnamurti pendant plus de quarante ans, et ceux de sa mère enfin, Rosalind, l'âme de leur foyer commun. Qu'est-ce que c'était que vivre avec Krishnamurti, et non pas seulement assister à ses conférences ou participer à des causeries avec lui, mais également partager sa vie de tous les jours, jouer avec lui et faire l'expérience de son inépuisable gentillesse avec les enfants et les animaux, contempler un ciel étoilé en sa compagnie. L'écouter évoquer sa propre enfance en Inde et la figure vénérée de sa mère trop tôt disparue. Faire grâce à lui la connaissance de personnages aussi intéressants qu'Aldous Huxley... Ecouter encore, de la bouche des autres adultes de son entourage, ces histoires extraordinaires: la création de la Société Théosophique, la sélection de Krishnamurti à l'âge de 15 ans par les Théosophes C.W. Leadbeater et Annie Besant pour servir de «véhicule» (moyen d'incarnation) à Lord Maitreya, l'accession de Krishnamurti à une indépendance spirituelle iconoclaste une vingtaine d'années plus tard. Avec talent, l'auteur nous raconte aussi, et c'est la partie dramatique de son livre-témoignage, comment, après avoir formé une véritable famille admirée pour son harmonie, Krishnamurti et ses parents ont été amenés à «divorcer». «Comment des idéaux de fraternité humaine, de renoncement à la violence contre toute créature, de libération de la peur, de l'ambition et de la culpabilité, comment des idéaux d'une telle élévation ont-ils pu dégénérer en une telle discorde ?» Vies dans l'Ombre avec J. Krishnamurti est à la fois une biographie non autorisée du philosophe religieux, une autobiographie où l'auteur revit avec nous sa merveilleuse enfance auprès de celui-ci et un réquisitoire affectueux mais sans concession contre le Krishnamurti des années 1960-80. Un document unique sur un guide spirituel de premier plan et un témoignage profondément émouvant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume will be of interest to everyone seeking to understand the relationship between war as an historical narrative and its representation in the arts and in culture, notably in literature, film, theatre and music. More specifically, it will be of the greatest interest to undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers and academics in a wide range of disciplines, including literary studies, film and drama studies, music, and history. The Introduction, by Jay Winter, sets the context, particularly with reference to the First World War, while the Conclusion summarises the significance of the research undertaken and its value for future research. This book will also have an impact on writers, publishers and organizers of exhibitions, museums, memorial sites and monuments whose influence in the field of war and memory has been increasing steadily in recent years. The imminent celebrations and commemorations pertaining to the Great War, beginning in 2014, together with the imminence of the seventieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 2015, will provide additional stimuli to public attention in this area over the next few years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean Renoir's 1937 film La Grande Illusion is set during the First World War, but its themes of Franco-German conflict, divided loyalties in a time of war and the rise of anti-Semitism made it compelling and controversial viewing. Julian Jackson traces the film's historical context and its reception history.
