Описание: This book analyzes the hundred-year development of the "state of exception" in Rwanda, a political theory developed and expanded by Foucault, Agamben, and others. It analyzes Hutu regime propaganda utilized to dehumanize the Tutsi population and how state action created a setting for genocide to become an appropriate reaction to political threats.

Описание:
In The Twice-Born, Aatish Taseer embarks on a journey of self-discovery in an intoxicating, unsettling personal reckoning with modern India, where ancient customs collide with the contemporary politics of revivalism and revenge
When Aatish Taseer first came to Benares, the spiritual capital of Hinduism, he was eighteen, the Westernized child of an Indian journalist and a Pakistani politician, raised among the intellectual and cultural elite of New Delhi. Nearly two decades later, Taseer leaves his life in Manhattan to go in search of the Brahmins, wanting to understand his own estrangement from India through their ties to tradition. Known as the twice-born--first into the flesh, and again when initiated into their vocation--the Brahmins are a caste devoted to sacred learning. But what Taseer finds in Benares, the holy city of death also known as Varanasi, is a window on an India as internally fractured as his own continent-bridging identity. At every turn, the seductive, homogenizing force of modernity collides with the insistent presence of the past. In a globalized world, to be modern is to renounce India--and yet the tide of nationalism is rising, heralded by cries of "Victory to Mother India " and an outbreak of anti-Muslim violence. From the narrow streets of the temple town to a Modi rally in Delhi, among the blossoming cotton trees and the bathers and burning corpses of the Ganges, Taseer struggles to reconcile magic with reason, faith in tradition with hope for the future and the brutalities of the caste system, all the while challenging his own myths about himself, his past, and his countries old and new.

Описание: Tanner feels lonely. Sundays are his family's usual day to plan an outing, but it appears everyone is too busy on this day to have fun. Just when he is about to give up, Tanner's parents surprise him with plans to drive to Castle Rock Park for a picnic. After Tanner, his parents, and new baby brother meet up with his Nana, Papa, and other family members, he takes in the sights of the park that is surrounded by tall mountains and a sheer face cliff called Elephant Buttress. But when Tanner asks to take a walk to a nearby stream, he has no idea that very soon, he will meet a friendly rock climber who will teach him all sorts of important lessons about nature, the environment, teamwork and, above all, how to trust others and believe in himself. Sunday at Castle Rock Park shares the fun tale of a boy's adventure at a local park after he meets a rock climber who teaches him valuable lessons about life, nature, and himself.
