Описание: These volumes make a strong plea for a reorientation of the sociology of citizenship and address serious threats of an ongoing erosion of citizenship rights. Arguing from different scientific perspectives, rather than offering new conceptions of citizenship as supposedly more adequate models of rights, membership and belonging, they deal with both
Описание: This book, first published in 1946, collects documents illustrating the foreign policy of the Soviet Union during the Second World War. The collection of three parts of translated documents: statements and speeches made by Stalin; documents, treaties, agreements; appendices including press statements and telegrams.
Odd Fellowship is one of the oldest fraternal societies in the world noting that the oldest documented lodge dates back on or before 1730. Recently, its obscure history and rites have been the subject of inquiry and discussion among members, researchers, scholars and historians alike. However, many complain that access to historical documents related to this ancient fraternity is very limited if not almost impossible. Admittedly, modern literature on the topic of Odd Fellowship is very scarce and the old records of this fraternal society are not well-preserved.
This book, Ancient Rites of Odd Fellowship: Revisiting the Revised Ritual of the Order of Patriotic Odd Fellows, 1797, is published for preservation and educational purposes. This is for the benefit of members, scholars, researchers and historians alike who want to gain more knowledge about the origins, history, and evolution of the ancient rites of Odd Fellowship. It is not the objective of this book to divulge the secret workings of Odd Fellowship to the uninitiated. This ritual has been published to the public in the past and copies are available in public libraries. This is also considered ancient and no longer practiced by existing Odd Fellows' organizations today.
For how many years, a number of lodges almost secreted themselves to death to the point that majority of the younger generations today do not even know that this fraternity still exists. Many of its current members also fail to appreciate its history and a number have lost touch of its early traditions. A Past Sovereign Grand Master of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows once said that "The true effort to revitalize Odd Fellowship should be to educate and inform its own members. Knowledge leads to confidence; confidence leads to enthusiasm; enthusiasm leads to commitment; commitment leads to pride; and these collectively leads to success." It is the author's advocacy is to help educate the current members and potential members about Odd Fellowship, its history, origins, traditions, teachings and significance. I can only do so little. That is to make information about this ancient fraternity easily accessible to younger generations in hope that they will eventually join and become dedicated Odd Fellows.
The author is a Past District Deputy Sovereign Grand Master and the Public Relations Coordinator of the IOOF Sovereign Grand Lodge from 2012-2015. He was based at the International Headquarters for an aggregate period of 3 years where he had full access and was able to read from cover-to-cover all the journals, history books, rituals, secret workings and artifacts related to Odd Fellowship. With a Master of Arts in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and Juris Doctor Degree, the author uses both quantitative and qualitative research methods. He does not rely solely on old history books and manuals written by Odd Fellows many years ago but also interviews experts and consults third-party references and modern research studies conducted by academic historians, researchers and other authors holding MA or PhD degrees. Unlike older books, the author uses simple words as possible for easier understanding.

Описание:
This collection documents and examines political and protest theatre produced between the 9/11 attacks in 2001 and Obama's election in 2008 by British and American artists responding to their own governments' actions and policies during this time. The plays take up topics such as the ongoing wars on terror, Blair's support of U.S. policies, the flawed intelligence that led to the Iraq war, and illegal detentions and torture at Abu Ghraib. The authors argue that engaged artists faced a radically different sociopolitical context for their work after 9/11 compared to earlier social protest movements and new forms of theatre, and different emotional strategies were necessary to meet the challenges. The subtitle Patriotic Dissent suggests the double stance of many artists-- influenced by patriotic expressions of national solidarity, yet critical of the ways that patriotic language was put to use against others. The articles represent a broad range of theatre: Broadway musicals, documentary theatre, adaptations of classical theatre, new plays by British playwrights, street performances and installations, and musical concerts. The contributors' case studies evaluate the effectiveness of important instances of political theatre and protest from this decade, arguing for the significance, relevance, and continuing necessity for evolving forms of political theatre today.

Описание: History is filled with wars. We dream the victories and defeats, great and small, and note how they have shaped our world. Wars and social movements have made our civilization as we know it. Man's religion and past wars gives us an understanding of the present. In 1075, a militia loyal to the crown was used against the Norman rebellion. A militia in 1285, and later a Law of Trusts, reorganized the militia. In 1471, with the aid of the militia, towns in Sweden returned to reforms. The University of Uppsala was founded (1477) and printing was introduced. The civic humanist ideal of the militia was spread through Europe by the writings of Niccol Machiavelli. The militiaman in times of crisis left his civilian duties and became a soldier. When the emergency was over, he returned to his civilian status. Militias continued in England, Italy, Germany, and the United States through the Middle Ages. The first US militia was in Boston. Militias soon followed in the Colonies. Militias were valuable in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, Mexican War, and both sides of the Civil War. There was further growth into the 1900's and on into the Present. "Thou art also victory and law When empty terrors overawe." (Wordsworth)
