Internal Colonialism and International Relations
- Tracks of Decolonization in Bolivia
(Paperback)
Ana Carolina Teixeira Delgado
|
R1,175 Discovery Miles 11 750 | Ships in 12 - 17 working days | |
This book investigates decolonization as a local process and its connections to international relations, introducing "internal colonialism" as a crucial analytical category for internationalists. Using Bolivia as a case study, the author argues that the reshaping of colonialism and its resistance domestically is also reflected and reproduced abroad by political actors, be they the governments or indigenous movements. By problematizing postcolonial debate concerning the constitution/reproduction of colonial logics in International Relations, the book proposes a return to the local to show how power relations are exercised concretely by the protagonists of political process. Such dynamics reveal the interrelationship between the local and the international, especially, in which the latter represents a necessary dimension to both reinforce colonialism and oppose colonial logics. Of interest to scholars and students of IR, Latin American and Andean Studies, this book will also appeal to those working in the fields of area studies, anthropology, indigenous politics, comparative politics, decolonization and political ecology.

Talking About Death
(Paperback, 1st pbk. ed)
Virginia Morris
|
|
Ships in 10 - 15 working days | |
Even in this candidly confessional age, we've been conditioned to
avoid discussions of death. Our youth-worshipping culture does
everything to deny death, which is why, when the end nears, most of
us are inadequately prepared to deal with it.
And the cost of that is great: many are haunted by memories of how
inappropriately or painfully or uncomfortably their parents and
grandparents died. Many of us avoid even considering the options,
in all their complexity, that we will most likely face one day,
given our new longevity and the profound advances in medicine.
With its wise and very compelling argument that all of us, at any
age, can and should face death before it faces us, Talking About
Death addresses the cultural, personal, medical, and legal concerns
that are necessary for us--as individuals and as a society--to
prepare for a good death, a death where the dying are in control
and not, as is too often the case, caught in a downward spiral of
medical intervention and misunderstood intentions.
Virginia Morris skillfully weaves together personal stories and
practical matters, scientific fact and spiritual sensitivity into
an important book about how we can achieve a greater sense of peace
in dying, and rediscover the art of living.

The Myth of Autism
- How a Misunderstood Epidemic Is Destroying Our Children, Expanded and Revised Edition
(Paperback)
Michael J. Goldberg
|
|
Ships in 10 - 15 working days | |
Experts agree that America is in the midst of a disturbing epidemic
of what has thus far been diagnosed as autism. In just thirty years
autism diagnoses have risen from 1 in 5,000 children to 1 in 110,
according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But in the history of our society there has never been an
"epidemic" of any developmental or genetic disorder--it is
scientifically impossible. So what is this mysterious affliction
known as "autism," and how can we stop it? Dr. Goldberg and his
colleagues illustrate why autism cannot be genetic, but is a
symptom of a treatable neurological disease that attacks the
brain's immune system. Readers will come to understand that Autism
is not psychological or developmental, but a medical disease,
Autism is caused by a dysfunction in the neuro-immune system and
often by secondary neurotropic viruses that impact the neuro-immune
system and brains, illnesses such as autism, ADD/ADHD, and chronic
fatigue syndrome all have different "labels" but are actually
variations on the same thing: neuro-immune dysfunction syndromes
(NIDS), and what you can do to transform your own life or the lives
of your loved ones.
"Dr. Goldberg's knowledge base is greater than anyone else's in
this treatment area. He is the best expert in this field, in my
opinion. I could have taken my son to any autism doctor in the
world and I chose Dr. Goldberg."
--Bruce L. Russell, MD, FAAFP

On Consolation
- Finding Solace in Dark Times
(Hardcover)
Michael Ignatieff
|
|
Ships in 9 - 15 working days | |
As read on BBC Radio 4's 'Book of the Week', a timely, moving and profound exploration of how writers, composers and artists have searched for solace while facing loss, tragedy and crisis, from the historian and Booker Prize-shortlisted novelist Michael Ignatieff. 'This erudite and heartfelt survey reminds us that the need for consolation is timeless, as are the inspiring words and examples of those who walked this path before us.' Toronto Star When we lose someone we love, when we suffer loss or defeat, when catastrophe strikes - war, famine, pandemic - we go in search of consolation. Once the province of priests and philosophers, the language of consolation has largely vanished from our modern vocabulary, and the places where it was offered, houses of religion, are often empty. Rejecting the solace of ancient religious texts, humanity since the sixteenth century has increasingly placed its faith in science, ideology, and the therapeutic. How do we console each other and ourselves in an age of unbelief? In a series of portraits of writers, artists, and musicians searching for consolation - from the books of Job and Psalms to Albert Camus, Anna Akhmatova, and Primo Levi - writer and historian Michael Ignatieff shows how men and women in extremity have looked to each other across time to recover hope and resilience. Recreating the moments when great figures found the courage to confront their fate and the determination to continue unafraid, On Consolation takes those stories into the present, movingly contending that we can revive these traditions of consolation to meet the anguish and uncertainties of the twenty-first century.

R432 Discovery Miles 4 320 | Ships in 12 - 17 working days | |
This is a book that will be a great comfort to those who need it' Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent and Melmoth 'Unforgettable, necessary. This beautiful book is a map, compass and ration of courage for anyone arrived in the landscape of sudden loss. Full of love and learning' Tanya Shadrick In 2017, Sophie Pierce's life changed forever when her twenty-year-old son Felix died suddenly and unexpectedly. Thrown into an unimaginable new reality, she had to find a way to survive. By writing letters to Felix - composed during walks and swims taken close to his burial place by the River Dart - Sophie gradually learned how to live in the landscape of sudden loss, navigating the weather and tides of grief. The Green Hill collects these letters alongside Sophie's account of the years following Felix's death, into which she weaves poignant memories of his life. What results is a deeply moving, beautifully captured record of how - amid the rivers and rocks of Dartmoor, and in the sea off the South Devon coast - Sophie was able to hold on to and nurture her bond with Felix, both in her mind and through a physical engagement with the landscape: actively mourning, rather than grieving. This book is a celebration of the natural world and the role it plays in our lives and relationships, as well as an examination of how beauty, a sense of place and the passing seasons can help us contend with our own mortality. Above all, The Green Hill is one woman's story of navigating through trauma and loss, and towards a fragile, complicated kind of joy.
