Usme, one of the peripheral districts surrounding Bogot?, Colombia, is one of the poorest, most populous, and most marginalized outer districts of the city, with a high concentration of indigenous occupants. Over eighty percent of Usme’s women have experienced partner violence or some kind of partner-controlling behavior. How does one go about understanding the perpetration of partner violence? Based on ethnographic work with survivors, responders, and most of all the perpetrators of this kind of abuse, scholar John I.B. Bhadra-Heintz explores this issue in A Tyranny Against Itself. Throughout this study, Bhadra-Heintz examines how this violence is made possible, how it is positioned to be permissible socially, and what is at stake for those who are involved. This violence is examined as a question of sovereignty on the intimate scale. Not the product of a particular cultural pathology, a phenomenon that can otherwise be otherized, this book seeks instead to find the lines of connection, and contradiction, that tie these intimate acts of violence into broader regimes of power. In a community so profoundly shaped by centuries of political conflict, only through this kind of approach can new apertures for engagement be found. Through them, this book outlines new vulnerabilities in this form of abuse, and along the way imagines new ways of escaping from these everyday acts of intimate terror and the broader systems of violence in which they are involved.

Описание: Explore the profession of engineering, and learn the tools you need to start strong in college. This book will introduce you to the engineering profession and give you an idea of what it will be like to major in engineering in college. It covers the wide range of engineering specialties, various career pathways, and the overall benefits of the earning an engineering degree. Yet this book aims to do more than simply build your excitement about studying engineering. It also means to provide an introduction to the tools that you will need to start strong once you begin college. This text provides a very basic introduction and overview of what we call 'engineering fundamentals' - the concepts that every engineer needs to know. Topics are presented in a straightforward manner that avoids the need for complicated mathematics, allowing for a focus on understanding and applying the concepts, rather than getting bogged down in the technical solution. Key Features
