Описание: War doesn't just tear nations apart-it brings peoples and places closer together, providing a new lens on globalization. This book offers a fresh perspective on globalization and war, topics rarely considered together. It conceives war as a form of interconnection between home and abroad, and as an occasion for circulation and interchange. It identifies the political and military work required to create and maintain a free-trading world, while critiquing liberal and neoliberal conceptions of the pacific benefits of economic globalization. Speaking from the heart of old and new imperial orders, Tarak Barkawi exposes the Eurocentric limitations of military history and highlights the imperial dimensions of modern warfare. Britain, India, and the colonial Indian army exemplify the intertwined, global histories illuminated by attention to globalization and war. Around the world, geographies and wars are imagined differently. Cultural approaches to globalization show how popular consciousness of the world often takes military and warlike form, and how militaries spawn hybrid 'traveling cultures' wherever they go. Finally, Barkawi examines the contemporary 'war on terror' using historical and non-Eurocentric globalizations to clarify the politics and strategies involved in the purported 'clash of civilizations'. Adding a new layer of understanding, he looks at the globalization of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the intensifying 'Israelization' of the United States.

Описание: Jimmy Powell also known as Pastor Cochise Chops or Brother Jim was raised in rural Kentucky, where from the time he was 10 years old, he wanted to be a biker, a nomadic Harley rider After being a wild child for many years, at the age of 25 Cochise joined a Motorcycle Club called the Iron Barons, which lead him to become even wilder. Though Jimmy loved the hard core biker life style, there came a day when he was pulled away from it. His mother had told a close family friend, that her son, Jim, would one day be a preacher. Her friend laughed at such a thing. Since our lives are preordained by God, the Lord did exactly what Mrs. Powell had said. He called Cochise out from the outlaw motorcycle world to preach the Word of God. No one would have ever guessed this, including the rebel himself. But that is what happened. This is Pastor Cochise's story. It's not all about him being a sinner. It's not all about him being a pastor and preacher. Rather this autobiography is more about how circumstances, from birth to now, molded and made Jimmy Powell into what he is today. A pastor, a preacher, a man who tries hard to be a godly man, but the truth is, "He Is Still A Rebel" Cochise is the pastor of a church plant in Daytona Beach, FL called Set Free Daytona, and travels as an Evangelist. He is married to Bianca Canary Powell, and together they have 8 children and 20 grand babies. He received his Bachelors Degree from Mid-Continent Baptist Bible College, now called Mid-Continent University, in 1988, and is still pursuing his Masters Degree from another University. Yet he is content with what he has, a Doctorate in Life Lessons and Hard Knocks.

Описание:

A Chiricahua Apache of the Chokonen band, Cochise (c. 1810-1874) was one of the most celebrated Indian leaders of his time, battling both American intrusions and Mexican troops in the turbulent border region of nineteenth-century Arizona.

Much of what we know of Cochise has come down to us in military reports, eyewitness accounts, letters, and numerous interviews the usually reticent chief granted in the last decade of his life. Cochise: Firsthand Accounts of the Chiricahua Apache Chief brings together the most revealing of these documents to provide the most nuanced, multifaceted portrait possible of the Apache leader. In particular, the interviews, many printed here for the first time, are the closest we will ever get to autobiographical material on this notable man, his life, and his times.

Edwin R. Sweeney, a preeminent historian of the Apaches and their leaders, has assembled this collection from U.S. military records, Indian agency reports, U.S. and Mexican newspapers and journals, and transcribed personal recollections. Throughout we hear the voices of those who knew Cochise well or observed him firsthand, including one who had never -met his equal with a lance- and another who attested that -no Apache warrior can draw an arrow to the head and send it farther with more ease than he.- We get two distinctly different views of the murderous events that led to the infamous Bascom Affair, in which Cochise and an American lieutenant squared off in a spiraling war of revenge. And we gain rare and unexpected insight into Cochise's thoughts during the Chiricahuas' move to the reservation at Tularosa.

In addition to a close-up picture of a pivotal figure in western history, Cochise offers accounts of a vanished world from people who lived in that world.

Описание:

This is the true story, told in fictional form, of one of the greatest of all American Indian chiefs, Cochise of the Chiricahua Apaches. Indians were once thought of as warlike, and the encroaching white men as wanting peace, but it was the white men who forced Cochise into war against his will. History tells us that Cochise and his tiny band of warriors not only held the United States Army at bay for more than ten years, but they were often on the offensive. It is a heroic and extraordinary story. The story ends with the equally extraordinary way in which peace was made, when Major General Howard, the bible-reading soldier, and Cochise, the religious-minded warrior, found that they could trust each other. The many illustrations are by L. F. Bjorklund, well-known for the accuracy of his interpretation of Indian scenes.
