Download or read book Time for Reparations written by Jacqueline Bhabha and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2021-09-03 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sweeping international perspective on reparations, Time for Reparations makes the case that past state injustice—be it slavery or colonization, forced sterilization or widespread atrocities—has enduring consequences that generate ongoing harm, which needs to be addressed as a matter of justice and equity. Time for Reparations provides a wealth of detailed and diverse examples of state injustice, from enslavement of African Americans in the United States and Roma in Romania to colonial exploitation and brutality in Guatemala, Algeria, Indonesia, Jamaica, and Guadeloupe. From many vantage points, contributing authors discuss different reparative strategies and the impact they would have on the lives of survivor or descent communities. One of the strengths of this book is its interdisciplinary perspective—contributors are historians, anthropologists, human rights lawyers, sociologists, and political scientists. Many of the authors are both scholars and advocates, actively involved in one capacity or another in the struggles for reparations they describe. The book therefore has a broad and inclusive scope, aided by an accessible and cogent writing style. It appeals to scholars, students, advocates and others concerned about addressing some of the most profound and enduring injustices of our time.

Download or read book Until I Find You written by Rachel Nolan and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poignant saga of Guatemala's adoption industry: an international marketplace for children, built on a foundation of inequality, war, and Indigenous dispossession. In 2009 Dolores Preat went to a small Maya town in Guatemala to find her birth mother. At the address retrieved from her adoption file, she was told that her supposed mother, one Rosario Colop Chim, never gave up a child for adoption--but in 1986 a girl across the street was abducted. At that house, Preat met a woman who strongly resembled her. Colop Chim, it turned out, was not Preat's mother at all, but a jaladora--a baby broker. Some 40,000 children, many Indigenous, were kidnapped or otherwise coercively parted from families scarred by Guatemala's civil war or made desperate by unrelenting poverty. Amid the US-backed army's genocide against Indigenous Maya, children were wrested from their villages and put up for adoption illegally, mostly in the United States. During the war's second decade, adoption was privatized, overseen by lawyers who made good money matching children to overseas families. Private adoptions skyrocketed to the point where tiny Guatemala overtook giants like China and Russia as a "sender" state. Drawing on government archives, oral histories, and a rare cache of adoption files opened briefly for war crimes investigations, Rachel Nolan explores the human toll of an international industry that thrives on exploitation. Would-be parents in rich countries have fostered a commercial market for children from poor countries, with Guatemala becoming the most extreme case. Until I Find You reckons with the hard truths of a practice that builds loving families in the Global North out of economic exploitation, endemic violence, and dislocation in the Global South.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How and to what degree are women worldwide gaining and using power? This book offers the first genuinely comparative assessment of this key question by exploring the conditions, actions, and accomplishments of women in Latin America and Asia. Encompassing 60 percent of the world's population and experiencing far-reaching transformations, these two regions offer a vital window into our understanding of the experiences of women globally. Revealing both basic similarities and fundamental differences, this volume offers thoughtful insights about the changing conditions of women, on the one hand, and, on the other, about patterns of social change throughout Asia and Latin America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timely contribution to the study of peace psychology in Latin America, this volume describes clinical, psychosocial, and community interventions with victims from Mexico to Chile from the 1970s onward. Chapters analyze how to conceptualize complex processes such as the appropriation of children and political repression, raising psychological, juridical, and political implications for the victims, their families, human rights organizations, and society. Also included are studies and analyses of political processes in countries currently undergoing crises such as Venezuela and Colombia and the challenges posed by the peace process from a political psychology perspective. All authors present the results of studies or clinical cases illustrating creative methodologies and practices in different contexts. This book provides the context for differences in the victims' damages and the treatment approaches and methodologies adopted in each case. The authors outline psychological perspectives grounded in ethical and professional choices based on recognizing people's dignity while seeking rehabilitation and reparations for victims, families, and communities. It paves the way for reparations and rehabilitation, and ultimately to the establishment of democracy and peace in this part of the world. Readers will benefit from understanding the relationship between mental health and human rights understanding ethical and professional dimensions a broadened knowledge of working with victims

Book excerpt: Héctor Azcárraga, un riguroso médico intensivista con apenas vida emocional, recibe una carta de Soledad, una mujer a quien no conoce. Es una invitación para comenzar un viaje por distintos rincones del mundo en los que descubrirá una historia que Soledad quiere contarle. A pesar de sus prejuicios, fruto de una educación rígida alejada de toda excentricidad, acepta la propuesta. En Costa Rica y en Venecia, Héctor se ve obligado a escuchar cómo dos desconocidos le acusan de vivir a oscuras. En París, su propio pasado da un sorprendente salto hasta el presente dejándole sin habla, pero en Buenos Aires, aturdido por la terrible noticia que un extraño pintor le espeta, abandona el juego huyendo de la aparente demencia de aquella mujer que se obstina en no dar la cara. Soledad juega su mayor baza llevándole a su casa de Madrid a un muchacho griego que pondrá las cartas sobre la mesa y quien finalmente le convencerá para que se enfrente a la verdad. Un último viaje en el que descubrirá, con una emoción jamás imaginada, de quién es la mano que le ha cuidado en la sombra para conseguir que Héctor sobreviva a lo gris y aprenda a observar los colores de su vida.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Editor and poet Allison Adelle Hedge Coke assembles this multilingual collection of Indigenous American poetry, joining voices old and new in songs of witness and reclamation. Unprecedented in scope, Sing gathers more than eighty poets from across the Americas, covering territory that stretches from Alaska to Chile, and features familiar names like Sherwin Bitsui, Louise Erdrich, Joy Harjo, Lee Maracle, and Simon Ortiz alongside international poets—both emerging and acclaimed—from regions underrepresented in anthologies. They write from disparate zones and parallel experience, from lands of mounded earthwork long-since paved, from lands of ancient ball courts and the first great cities on the continents, from places of cold, from places of volcanic loam, from zones of erased history and ongoing armed conflict, where “postcolonial” is not an academic concept but a lived reality. As befits a volume of such geographical inclusivity, many poems here appear in multiple languages, translated by fellow poets and writers like Juan Felipe Herrera and Cristina Eisenberg. Hedge Coke’s thematic organization of the poems gives them an added resonance and continuity, and readers will appreciate the story of the genesis of this project related in Hedge Coke’s deeply felt introduction, which details her experiences as an invited performer at several international poetry festivals. Sing is a journey compelled by the exploration of kinship and the desire for songs that open “pathways of return.”

Download or read book Gender Violence in Peace and War written by Victoria Sanford and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reports from war zones often note the obscene victimization of women, who are frequently raped, tortured, beaten, and pressed into sexual servitude. Yet this reign of terror against women not only occurs during exceptional moments of social collapse, but during peacetime too. As this powerful book argues, violence against women should be understood as a systemic problem—one for which the state must be held accountable. The twelve essays in Gender Violence in Peace and War present a continuum of cases where the state enables violence against women—from state-sponsored torture to lax prosecution of sexual assault. Some contributors uncover buried histories of state violence against women throughout the twentieth century, in locations as diverse as Ireland, Indonesia, and Guatemala. Others spotlight ongoing struggles to define the state’s role in preventing gendered violence, from domestic abuse policies in the Russian Federation to anti-trafficking laws in the United States. Bringing together cutting-edge research from political science, history, gender studies, anthropology, and legal studies, this collection offers a comparative analysis of how the state facilitates, legitimates, and perpetuates gender violence worldwide. The contributors also offer vital insights into how states might adequately protect women’s rights in peacetime, as well as how to intervene when a state declares war on its female citizens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting the human security agenda as a policy response to the changing nature of violent conflicts and war, this collection traces its evolution in relation to conflicts in different contexts (Burma, India, Palestine, Canada, East Timor, Guatemala, Peru and African countries) and from the perspective of gender, addresses initiatives for peace with justice. Cases are analysed when the human security agenda, including UNSC resolution 1325, was in its initial phase and point to both the weakness of the concept and the unexpected direction it has taken. These discussions - always relevant - are more urgent than ever as gender-based violence against women has increased, resulting in new UNSC resolutions. Some chapters suggest that militarism and economic globalization must be directly confronted. Many of the contributors to the volume bridge the gap between academic research and activism as ’scholar-activists’ with an engaged connection to the situations they are describing. Human security remains an active component of policy and academic debates in security studies, women’s and gender studies, development studies, history and political economy as well as within NGO communities. This rich collection fills a needed gap in the literature and it does so in a language and style that is clear, accessible and reader-friendly.

Book excerpt: Lost in my memories was a note of all the letters, the note he had written tired of not being able to explain his love for me to read it. I remembered that day when he handed me a small pink sheet with a written sentence by him "meeting you was fate, being your friend was a choice, falling in love with you was beyond my reason" smiled softly and reflected on us a bit about things that change inadvertently. Right now I could respond to other words that rose note, I would say definitely "you left was fate, forget it was my choice, my heart could not was beyond my reason" ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EL VUELO DE UN SUEÑO Un joven estudiante, sufre una terrible frustración, al quebrarse su anhelo de ingresar a un centro de estudios superiores. Con impaciencia trata de encontrar un rayo de luz y esperanza, que lo ayude a reorientar sus pasos en la dirección correcta. Su familia intenta apoyarlo, antes de que su espíritu se vea arrastrado por el torbellino de la desesperación y el desatino. Acuerdan realizar un viaje familiar a USA, materializando un plan de vacaciones pendientes, que estuvieron postergando por varios años, al interponerse una serie de razones. Disfrutaron de vacaciones asombrosas y los familiares regresan a su país; pero Juan Rodríguez, con la autorización de sus padres y el apoyo de su primo Pedro, decide buscar nuevas rutas de superación. A partir de ese momento, se desarrollan una serie de actividades que abarcan estudios y trabajos, mientras va logrando adaptarse al estilo y la modalidad del ambiente americano, encontrando en el trayecto, el reconocimiento y el apoyo que le facilitan avanzar hacia el logro de su invariable vocación. El camino recorrido, no fue tan simple ni sencillo, estuvo lleno de vicisitudes que fueron templando su personalidad hasta convertirlo en la persona útil de enorme valor profesional. En las secuencias del relato, el autor describe con realismo, acontecimientos dramáticos, sucesos trágicos y también de suspenso, sin omitir las emotivas, con una fuerte carga romántica. La narración que aparece en la obra, ha sido elaborada por el autor, en base a las referencias proporcionadas, por los participantes reales, cuyos rostros y nombres, fueron enmascarados por obvias razones, procurando ajustarse a la verdadera historia, con una dosis mesurada de la fi cción, para acercarse a las situaciones semejantes, experimentadas por muchos inmigrantes. Análoga, a los que iniciaron la audaz aventura, partiendo desde algún lugar de orígen lejano; y lograron alcanzar el éxito, con la indomable fuerza de voluntad y el espíritu de superación, que les permitió transformar el sueño de la esperanza, en realidad sobre territorio americano.

Book excerpt: El Encanto, al igual que otros poblados del estado de Veracruz, se caracteriza por lo aberrante de su gente. Por un lado, quienes glorifican en público a Epifanio Martínez, en privado lo maldicen. Muchos quieren ser como él, pero aborrecen que su estirpe haya mantenido en perpetua desgracia al poblado. Nadie sabe con exactitud cuándo fue el día en que los pueblerinos quedaron a merced de tanta humillación. Lo perverso de su verdugo, confunde a la gente con la idea de que éste todo lo puede con el poder de su dinero, hasta que en el horizonte aparecen Gabino Domínguez y Gervasio García, provocando que el cacique viva sus peores días. Sin querer, el par de campesinos sufren con una experiencia que los horroriza de pies a cabeza en la derruida ex hacienda de El Encanto. A partir de ese momento, la vida en El Encanto ya no será la misma. Muchos, al igual que Gabino y Gervasio, creen que Epifanio tiene pactos con el demonio. Y el par de campesinos tienen razones de sobra para pensar así. Sin embargo, ambos se dan cuenta que el cacique no es el mito que todos creían. Así, poco a poco, Gabino y su inseparable amigo con la ayuda de la familia Ruvalcaba, descorren el velo que mantuvo por tanto tiempo postrado al poblado.
