Examining the intersection of Palestine solidarity movements and
antiracist activism in France from the 1970s to the present Â
For the pasty fifty years, the Palestinian question has served as a
rallying cry in the struggle for migrant rights in postcolonial
France, from the immigrant labor associations of the 1970s and Beur
movements of the 1980s to the militant decolonial groups of the
2000s. In Natives against Nativism, Olivia C. Harrison explores the
intersection of anticolonial solidarity and antiracist activism
from the 1970s to the present. Natives against Nativism analyzes a
wide range of texts—novels, memoirs, plays, films, and militant
archives—that mobilize the twin figures of the Palestinian and
the American Indian in a crossed critique of Eurocolonial
modernity. Harrison argues that anticolonial solidarity with
Palestinians and Indigenous Americans has been instrumental in
developing a sophisticated critique of racism across imperial
formations—in this case, France, the United States, and Israel.
Serving as the first relational study of antiracism in France,
Natives against Nativism observes how claims to indigeneity have
been deployed in multiple directions, both in the ongoing struggle
for migrant rights and racial justice, and in white nativist claims
in France today.
This book compares research findings on particular topic of
interactive learning to identify areas of research, and discusses

that in the UK the emphasis on small group work using a
microcomputer is the result of pedagogical opinion.

Diabetes has garnered world-wide attention and research funding as
clinicians and researchers seek to better understand its
pathogenesis, prevention, complications management, and impact and
relationship to other diseases (heart disease, kidney disease,
infections, and inflammation). Clinicians are being overwhelmed
with rapidly evolving developments regarding the science and
clinical management of diabetes, and are struggling to understand
and use this information. Diabetes: Translating Research to
Practice will provide a concise interpretation of translational
diabetes research for the purpose of preparing clinicians to
understand and effectively deploy new strategies and therapeutics
into the clinical care of diabetes patients by examining -a
contrast between existing information in the clinical practice
versus the basis and need for future clinical trials -breakthroughs
within clinical trials and methods to incorporate bench to bedside
material for the clinical practice -the synthesis and
interpretation of the scientific principles, trial results, and
clinical implications of emerging and translational therapies, and
the management strategies for diabetic patients -the entire scope
of translational diabetes research from biology to screening and
prognosis, new therapeutics, insulin, transplantation, and
complications management -new therapeutic strategies to
knowledgably and effectively equip the practicing clinician
-assembles information that is scattered throughout the diabetic
community into one concise single reference

A comprehensive introduction to today's M&A strategies Make the
Deal is a direct and accessible guide to striking a powerful
M&A deal. Merging business, finance, and law, this insightful
examination of M&A strategy is designed to help you understand
M&A negotiations and the ways in which the final outcome
affects your financial future. A general overview of an acquisition
agreement framework segues into a more detailed discussion of
different deal structures, including stock sales, mergers, asset
sales, and complex structures, giving you the information you need
to know when each one applies best in practice. You'll gain insight
into real-world negotiations and the delicate balancing act that
occurs as each party attempts to maximize value and minimize risk,
and learn the potential pitfalls that can occur. Negotiation
statistics and samples from actual contracts back the war stories
throughout, and reinforce the idea that there's no single perfect
solution. As a topic of study, M&A is constantly evolving; in
practice, it changes at the speed of light. Staying ahead of the
market is the single most critical element of making the best deal,
and the strategy that worked for one deal most likely won't work
for the next. Instead of simply providing a list of strategies that
have worked in the past, this book shows you why they worked, so
you can tailor your strategy specifically to your next deal. Learn
how M&A contract terms affect economic outcomes Examine the
techniques and mechanics of today's acquisition agreements Develop
a legal framework that supports your business strategy Follow the
ups and downs that arise in real-world cases A successful M&A
transaction requires both attention to detail and a big picture
view, combined with skill, intellect, and ingenuity. Make the Deal
brings it all together to show you how to run the table and come
away with a win.

Since it was first published in 1992, this book has become one of
the leading anthologies of art theoretical texts in the
English-speaking world. This expanded edition includes the best
recent reflections, taking the anthology up to the turn of the 21st

theories which underpinned developments in the visual arts during
the 20th century. As well as writings by artists, the anthology

approaches in context.
Souffles-Anfas: A Critical Anthology from the Moroccan Journal of
Culture and Politics introduces and makes available, for the first
time in English, an incandescent corpus of experimental leftist
writing from North Africa. Founded in 1966 by Abdellatif Laabi and
a small group of avant-garde Moroccan poets and artists and banned
in 1972, Souffles-Anfas was one of the most influential literary,
cultural, and political reviews to emerge in postcolonial North
Africa. An early forum for tricontinental postcolonial thought and
writing, the journal published texts ranging from experimental
poems, literary manifestos, and abstract art to political tracts,
open letters, and interviews by contributors from the Maghreb, the
Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. The essays, poems,
and artwork included in this anthology-by the likes of Abdelkebir
Khatibi, Tahar Ben Jelloun, Albert Memmi, Etel Adnan, Sembene
Ousmane, Rene Depestre, and Mohamed Melehi-offer a unique window
into the political and artistic imaginaries of writers and
intellectuals from the Global South, and resonate with particular
acuity in the wake of the Arab Spring. A critical introduction and
section headnotes make this collection the perfect companion for
courses in postcolonial theory, world literature, and poetry in
translation.
