Paul and Charlotte Bondy were refugees from Hitler caught up in
Churchill's policy of mass internment. Paul was detained at the
Alien Internment Camp at Huyton, near Liverpool, from late June to
early December 1940. During this time his only contact with his
wife and young daughter was by post. As this young married couple
struggled to overcome the vicissitudes of war and exile to maintain
some semblance of family life, they wrote to each other regularly.
The letters, postcards and telegrams reproduced here are a unique
example of a complete WW2 Internment Correspondence.
My grandfather, Frank Carollo, was a prisoner of war in the
infamous POW camp Stalag 17 B during World War II. During these
dark days, he managed to keep a diary of his experiences, depicting
everyday life within, through beautiful short stories, poetry, and
drawings. Now years later, I've taken his accounts, adding
background details from friends and family, to create a memoir of
hope, love, and survival; a story of one man's life before, during,
and after being confined within one of the most notorious of Nazi
camps. 20% of the profits from each book sold will be donated to
the national Alzheimer's Association, in memory of Frank Carollo.
Integrating comparative empirical studies with cutting-edge theory,
this dynamic Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the
study and practice of peacekeeping. Han Dorussen brings together a
diverse range of contributions which represent the most recent
generation of peacekeeping research, embodying notable shifts in
the kinds of questions asked as well as the data and methods
employed. The Handbook explores questions concerning the deployment
of peacekeepers, the policies and activities undertaken by
peacekeeping operations (PKOs), the intended and unintended
consequences of peacekeeping activities, and controversies related
to post-conflict crime, sexual and gender-based violence in
peacekeeping, and the environmental impact of PKOs. Chapters
further investigate the distinctions between UN and non-UN-led
PKOs, the specific mandates under which peacekeeping operates, and
the different roles of military, police, and police and civilian
peacekeepers. Concluding with an evaluation of the state of the art
of current peacekeeping literature, the Handbook leads the way in
developing a coherent agenda for future research. The Handbook will
be an essential resource for a cross-disciplinary audience of
academics and students interested in IR and conflict resolution.
Policymakers involved in peacekeeping and peacebuilding, as well as
NGOs operating within (post-) conflict settings, will also benefit
from its assessment of recent developments in peacekeeping
research.
Die Herero-opstand 1904–1907 is ’n heruitgawe van ’n boek wat ses
keer tussen 1976 en 1979 deur HAUM gepubliseer is. Die lotgevalle
van die Hererovolk word in hierdie boek geskets, ’n stuk
geskiedenis wat ’n sentrale plek in Namibie se kleurryke
geskiedenis beklee. Die opstand van die Herero’s in 1904 teen
Duitse koloniale gesag kan beskou word as die enkele gebeurtenis
wat die gebied se volksverhoudinge die ingrypendste verander het.
Die Herero-opstand 1904–1907 vertel van die geleidelike opbou na
die konflik, die skielike uitbarsting van geweld en die tragiese
afloop vir die Herero’s toe duisende verhonger het en hulle grond
en politieke seggenskap verloor het.
The first account of one of the world's most pressing humanitarian
catastrophes. This eye-opening book reveals how China has used the
US-led Global War on Terror as cover for its increasingly brutal
suppression of the Uyghur people. China's actions, it argues, have
emboldened states around the globe to persecute ethnic minorities
and severely repress domestic opposition in the name of combatting
terrorism. Within weeks of the September 11 attacks on New York and
Washington, the Chinese government announced that it faced a
serious terrorist threat from its largely Muslim Uyghur ethnic
minority. Nearly two decades later, of the 11 million Uyghurs
living in China today, more than 1 million have been detained in
so-called re-education camps, victims of what has become the
largest program of mass incarceration and surveillance in the
world. Drawing on extensive interviews with Uyghurs in Xinjiang, as
well as refugee communities and exiles, Sean Roberts tells a story
that is not just about state policies, but about Uyghur responses
to these devastating government programs. Providing a lucid and
far-reaching analysis of China's cultural genocide, The War on the
Uyghurs allows the voices of those caught up in the human tragedy
to be heard for the first time. -- .
Van al die gebeure in die Kaapkolonie gedurende die Tweede Vryheidsoorlog het die teregstelling van Hans Lötter, asook dié van kmdt. Gideon Scheepers, die meeste emosie onder Afrikaners ontketen. Lötter en sy mederebelle in die Kolonie het die verbeelding van die plaaslike bevolking aangegryp en die Britte maande lank hoofbrekens besorg. Sy gevangeneming, verhoor en teregstelling deur ’n Britse vuurpeloton op Middelburg, Kaap, het groot woede en verontwaardiging veroorsaak en hom verewig as Boeremartelaar in die Afrikaner-volksoorleweringe. Nou word sy boeiende verhaal vir die eerste keer volledig vertel.
