A systematic reassessment, by two leading figures in the field, of
the paradigm of international development in both theory and
practice. It offers an overview and critique of development theory
and strategy, and a new framework for the analysis of global
inequality, poverty and development in an era of globalization.
'Connecting ICTs to Development' highlights over fifteen years of
IDRC-supported research in the field through its Information and
Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D) program.

The history of development is one marked by insecurities, violence,
and persistent conflict. It is not surprising, therefore, that
development is now thought of as one of the central challenges of
world politics. However, its complexities are often overlooked in
scholarly analysis and among policy practitioners, who tend to
adopt a technocratic approach to the crisis of development and
violence. This book brings together a wide range of contributions
aimed at investigating different aspects of the history of
development and violence, and its implications for contemporary
efforts to consolidate the development-security nexus. From
environmental concerns, through vigilante citizenship, to the
legacies of armed conflicts during and after decolonization, the
different chapters reconstruct the contradictory history of
development and critically engage contemporary responses and their
implications for social and political analyses. In examining
violence and insecurity in relation to core organising principles
of world politics the contributors engage the problems associated
with the nation state and the inter-state system and underlying
assumptions of the promises of progress. The book offers a range of
perspectives on the contradictions of development, and on how
domination, violence and resistance have been conceived. At the
same time it exemplifies the relevance of alternative
methodological and conceptual approaches to contemporary challenges
of development. This book was published as a special issue of Third
World Quarterly.

'The Cuban people hold a special place in the hearts of the people
of Africa. The Cuban internationalists have made a contribution to
African independence, freedom, and justice, unparalleled for its
principled and selfless character.' As Nelson Mandela states, Cuba
was a key participant in the struggle for the independence of
African countries during the Cold War and the definitive ousting of
colonialism from the continent. Beyond the military interventions
that played a decisive role in shaping African political history,
there were many-sided engagements between the island and the
continent. Cuba and Africa, 1959-1994 is the story of tens of
thousands of individuals who crossed the Atlantic as doctors,
scientists, soldiers, students and artists. Each chapter presents a
case study - from Algeria to Angola, from Equatorial Guinea to the
Congo - and shows how much of the encounter between Cuba and Africa
took place in non-militaristic fields: humanitarian and medical,
scientific and educational, cultural and artistic. The historical
experience and the legacies documented in this book speak to the
major ideologies that shaped the colonial and postcolonial world,
including internationalism, developmentalism and South-South
cooperation. Approaching African-Cuban relations from a
multiplicity of angles, this collection will appeal to an equally
wide range of readers, from scholars in black Atlantic studies to
cultural theorists and general readers with an interest in
contemporary African history.
The famous correspondences of the philosopher and scholar Peter
Abelard and the Catholic nun Heloise are eloquent and shocking -
their forbidden relationship serves as both a drama and history of
Medieval society. Writing in the early 12th century, Abelard and
Heloise first met when both were young. Attracted to one another
almost immediately, the two struck up a relationship which
blossomed when Abelard convinced Heloise's uncle, Fulbert, to allow
him residence in exchange for free tutorship of the young Heloise.
Their romance, illicit because they were not a consummated, married
couple, continued until Heloise became pregnant with Abelard's
child. The subsequent drama which ensued damaged Fulbert's
reputation - as a respected canon in Parisian society, he was
deeply angered by the pair's affinity. Eventually the two, feeling
pressured by Fulbert's anger and the social stigma of the time,
agreed to marry in a secret ceremony.
