A strike gripped Winnipeg from May 15 to June 26, 1919. Some
twenty-five thousand workers walked out, demanding better wages and
union recognition. Red-fearing opponents insisted labour radicals
were attempting to usurp constitutional authority and replace it
with Bolshevism. Newspapers like the "Manitoba Free Press" claimed
themselves political victims and warned of Soviet infiltration.
Supporters of the general sympathetic strike like the "Toronto
Daily Star" maintained that strikers were not Reds; they were
workers fighting for their fair rights. What was really happening
in Winnipeg? In an information age dominated by newspapers and
magazines, the public turned to reporters and editors for answers.
International custom "as evidence of a general practice accepted as
law", is considered one of the two main sources of international
law as it primarily derives from the conduct of sovereign States,
but is also closely connected with the role of the international
judge when identifying the applicable customary rule, a function it
shares with the bodies in charge of its codification (and
progressive development), starting with the International Law
Commission. Though mainly considered to be general international
law, international custom has a complex relationship with many
specific fields of law and specific regions of the world. The
editor provides comprehensive research published in the last seven
decades, invaluable to everyone interested in the field of
customary international law.

This book provides a pedagogical introduction to the concepts and
methods of quantum field theory necessary for the study of
condensed matter and ultracold atomic gases. After a thorough
discussion of the basic methods of field theory and many-body
physics (functional integrals, perturbation theory, Feynman
diagrams, correlation functions and linear response theory,
symmetries and their consequences, etc.), the book covers a wide
range of topics, from electron gas and Fermi-liquid theory to
superfluidity and superconductivity, magnetic instabilities in
electron systems, and dynamical mean-field theory of Mott
transition. The focus is on the study of model Hamiltonians, where
the microscopic physics and characteristic energy scales are
encoded into a few effective parameters, rather than
first-principle methods which start from a realistic Hamiltonian at
the microscopic level and then make material-specific predictions.
The reader is expected to be familiar with elementary quantum
mechanics and statistical physics, and some acquaintance with
condensed-matter physics and ultracold gases may also be useful. No
prior knowledge of field theory or many-body problem is required.
In this incisive and important volume, Jacques Dupuis offers new
insights on the most important issue facing Christian theology
today -- giving an account of Christian faith as Christians go more
deeply along the road of dialogue and collaboration with the
followers of other religious traditions. His task is to square a
dogmatic circle. How does one do justice to the Gospel claim that
Jesus the Christ is the final and universal savior of all humankind
in every age, while also doing justice to the experience that
truth, grace, holiness, and power are experienced in other
religious traditions? In the first six chapters Dupuis reviews the
history of the Western Christian tradition's teaching on other
religious Ways through the breakthrough at Vatican Council II. In
chapters 7 and 8 he reviews the critical issues of uniqueness of
Christ and Christian proposals to account for the mediation of
salvation in other religious Ways. He discusses also the
relationship between the Reign of God, the Church, and the
Religions. In chapter 9 he explores the nature and role of dialogue
in a pluralistic society. In chapter 10 offers sage reflections on
interreligious prayer.
The authors of Re-Indigenizing Ecological Consciousness and the
Interconnectedness to Indigenous Identities share the diversity and
complexities of the Indigenous context of worldviews, examining
relationships between humans and other living beings within an
eco-conscious lens. Michelle Montgomery's edited volume shows that
we belong not only to a human community, but to a community of all
nature as well. The contributors demonstrate that the reciprocity
of Indigenous knowledges is inclusive and represents worldviews for
regenerative solutions and the need to realign our view of the
environment as a "who" rather than an "it." This reciprocity is
intertwined as an obligation of environmental ethics to acknowledge
the attributes of Indigenous knowledges as not merely a body of
knowledge but as multiple layers or levels of placed-based
knowledges, identities, and lived experiences.

'Vigorously affirming anarchism's plurality, the authors make a
powerful case for the reconfiguration of anticolonial struggle'
Ruth Kinna, Professor, Loughborough University As early as the end
of the nineteenth century, anarchists such as Peter Kropotkin and
Élisée Reclus became interested in Indigenous peoples, many of
whom they saw as societies without a state or private property,
living a form of communism. Thinkers such as David Graeber and John
Holloway have continued this tradition of engagement with the
practices of Indigenous societies, while Indigenous activists
coined the term 'anarcho-indigenism', in reference to a long
history of (often imperfect) collaboration between anarchists and
Indigenous activists, over land rights and environmental issues,
including recent high profile anti-pipeline campaigns.
Anarcho-Indigenism is a dialogue between anarchism and Indigenous
politics. In interviews, the contributors reveal what Indigenous
thought and traditions and anarchism have in common, without
denying the scars left by colonialism. They ultimately offer a
vision of the world that combines anti-colonialism, feminism,
ecology, anti-capitalism and anti-statism.
This book explains the causes of Haiti's underdevelopment caused by
the contradictory dynamic or dialectical interaction of external
and internal social relations and forces, including class, race,
and color relations and forces, and the conflicts they generate
among them since 1700. .
This book, a critical study of Haiti's place in the "New World
Order," examines the limits of its "democratic revolution". It
analyzes the emergence, composition, and objectives of the
democratic movement that challenged the military and led to the
electoral victory of Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

This book seeks to explain the causes of Haiti's underdevelopment
since the end of the seventeenth century. During the 1960s and
1970s several original paradigms emerged to explain the causes and
persistence of underdevelopment in Latin America and the Caribbean.
In the renewed effort to understand the associated processes of
development and under
