In An Chunggun: His Life and Thought in his own Words, Jieun Han
and Franklin Rausch provide a complete translation of all of An's
writings and excerpts from his trial and appeal. Though An is most
famous for killing Ito Hirobumi, the contents of this volume show
that there was much more to him than that. For instance, far from
being anti-Japanese, An thought deeply about how China, Japan, and
Korea could work together to build a regional peace that would
eventually spread throughout the world. Now, for the first time,
all of An's extant writings have been assembled together into an
English translation that includes annotations and an introduction
that places An and his works in their historical context. This
translation was funded by the Institute of Korean Studies, Yonsei
University.
Through political and cultural analysis of representations of the
so-called war on drugs, Oswaldo Zavala makes the case that the very
terms we use to describe drug traffickers are a constructed
subterfuge for the real narcos: politicians, corporations, and the
military. Though Donald Trump's incendiary comments and monstrous
policies on the border reveal the character of a deeply depraved
leader, state violence on both sides of the border is nothing new.
Immigration has endured as a prevailing news topic, but it is a
fixture of modern society in the neoliberal era; the future will be
one of exile brought on by state violence and the plundering of our
natural resources to sate capitalist greed. Yet, the realities of
violence in Mexico and along the border are obscured by the books,
films, and TV series we consume. In truth, works like Sicario, The
Queen of the South, and Narcos hide Mexico's political realities.
Along with these examples, Zavala discusses Charles Bowden, 2666 by
Roberto BolaNo, and other important Latin American writers as
examples of works that do capture the realities of the drug war.
Drug Cartels Do Not Exist will be useful for journalists, political
scientists, philosophers, and writers of any kind who wish to break
down the constructed barriers-physical and mental-created by those
in power around the reality of the Mexican drug trade.
Most Americans can recite the names of famous generals and historic
battles. Some can also name champions of nonviolence like Martin
Luther King Jr., or recall the struggles for peace and justice that
run like a thread through U.S. history. But little attention is
paid to the intellectual tradition of nonviolence. Ira Chernus
surveys the evolution of this powerful idea from the Colonial Era
up to today, focusing on representative movements (Anabaptists,
Quakers, Anarchists, Progressives) and key individuals (Thoreau,
Reinhold Niebuhr, Dorothy Day, A.J. Muste, King, Barbara Deming),
including non-Americans like Mohandas Gandhi or Thich Nhat Hanh,
who have helped form the idea of nonviolence in the United States.
American Nonviolence offers an essential guide for both students
and activists.
Rose West was, on the face of it, a mother living with her family in a semi in Gloucester. But behind closed doors, she was a monstrous killer who, with husband Fred, killed at least a dozen women and girls, including her own daughter Heather, sixteen, and stepdaughter, Charmaine, eight.
Rose was sadistic as both a mother and killer, and all her victims as well as her own children were subjected to horrific sexual violence and torture. Rose did paid sex work in the family home with husband Fred peeping through the holes he had made in the wall and listening on an intercom. They modified the house to take in lodgers and then preyed on them, as well as other young women hitching a lift or waiting for a bus.
In 1972, aged seventeen, Caroline Owens, who had been hired as a nanny, was drugged, attacked and raped, but managed to escape. But she could not bring herself to testify, so the Wests remained free.
Two decades would pass before Rose’s dark secrets were discovered when nine of the victims’ bodies were dug up in the garden and beneath the cellar at the West’s home at 25 Cromwell Street. And now, three decades after this grim discovery, the workings of Rose West’s twisted mind remain as mysterious as who played what role in this husband-and-wife folie à deux.
From the pages of Fellowship magazine, this volume highlights the
writings of some of the preeminent peacemakers of our century.
These seventy original and classic essays offer a comprehensive
reader in nonviolence while also chronicling the struggle for peace
and justice in the twentieth century. For students, activists, and
all who share an interest in building a more just and peaceful
world.

This book shows therapists how to integrate EMDR (eye movement
desensitization and reprocessing) into the treatment so that adults
who have been abused as children clear their trauma more rapidly,
escape falling into the victim mentality, and proceed to lead full,
productive lives. For therapists already familiar with EMDR, it
covers the primary treatment issues and symptomatology of these
clients and specific alterations of the standard EMDR protocol. For
therapists experienced with treating abuse survivors, it introduces
a safe and effective way to process trauma. Emphasizing the
practical, Laurel Parnell not only teaches many techniques to help
the therapist when an impasse is reached, but also provides a
selection of treatment choices. She demonstrates how EMDR can be
used in the beginning phase of therapy for ego strengthening and
the development and installation of resources. This prepares
clients for trauma processing in the middle phase. Finally, in the
end phase, clients integrate their experiences and often feel an
awakening of their creativity and spirituality. Cases are used
throughout to provide therapists with a deeper, more grounded
understanding of different kinds of abuse cases and their
treatment. Readers will find that Laurel Parnell is an empathic,
sensitive, and knowledgeable guide to the difficult terrain of
working with adults abused as children using EMDR.
Was pre-Famine and Famine Ireland a violent society? The dominant
view among a range of commentators at the time, and in the work of
many historians since, is that violence was both prevalent and
pervasive in the social and cultural life of the country. This book
explores the validity of this perspective through the study of
homicide and what it reveals about wider experiences of violence in
the country at that time. The book provides a quantitative and
contextual analysis of homicide in pre-Famine and Famine Ireland.
It explores the relationship between particular and prominent
causes of conflict - personal, familial, economic and sectarian -
and the use of lethal violence to deal with such conflicts.
Throughout the book, the Irish experience is placed within a
comparative framework and there is also an exploration of what the
history of violence in Ireland might reveal about the wider history
of interpersonal violence in Europe and beyond. The aim throughout
is to challenge the view of nineteenth-century Ireland as a violent
society and to offer a more complex and nuanced assessment of the
part played by violence in Irish life.
