Описание: This study offers the first book-length analysis of how the Bolsheviks responded to antisemitism during the Russian Revolution. Brendan McGeever uncovers the surprising depth of antisemitism within sections of the working class, peasantry and Red Army, and reveals the explosive overlap between revolutionary politics and antisemitism.
Описание: This book provides a sophisticated investigation into the experience of being exterminated, as felt by victims of the Holocaust, and compares and contrasts this analysis with the experiences of people who have been colonized or enslaved. Using numerous victim accounts and a wide range of primary sources, the book moves away from the 'continuity thesis', with its insistence on colonial intent as the reason for victimization in relation to other historical examples of mass political violence, to look at the victim experience on its own terms. By affording each constituent case study its own distinctive aspects, The Victims of Slavery, Colonization and the Holocaust allows for a more enriching comparison of victim experience to be made that respects each group of victims in their uniqueness. It is an important, innovative volume for all students of the Holocaust, genocide and the history of mass political violence.
Описание: This book springs from the Bristol–Sheffield Hallam Colloquium on Contemporary Antisemitism at the University of Bristol in September 2015. International experts in Religious Studies, Law, Politics, Sociology, Psychology, and History came together to examine the complexities of contemporary antisemitism. Recent attacks on Jews in European cities have increased awareness of antisemitism and, as this collection shows, such attacks cannot be separated from wider geo-political and ideological factors. One distinct feature of antisemitism today is its demonization of the State of Israel. Older ideas also feature Jews being blamed for all the world's ills, thought to possess almost supernatural levels of power and wealth, and conspiring to harm the non-Jewish other. These and other ideas forming the background to antisemitism in Europe and North America are unpacked in this book with a view to understanding – and thereby combatting – contemporary antisemitism. A key concern is how unifying features might be isolated amid the diverse manifestations of this oldest of hatreds.

Описание: LAJSA Book Award Winner, 2017, Latin American Jewish Studies Association As Cuba industrialized in the nineteenth century, an epochal realignment of the social order occurred. In this period of change, two seemingly disparate, yet nevertheless intertwined, ideological forces appeared: anti-Semitism and abolitionism. As the antislavery movement became organized in Cuba, the argument grew that Jews participated in the African slave trade and in New World slavery, and that this participation gave Jews extraordinary influence in the new Cuban economy and culture. What was remarkable about this anti-Semitism was the decidedly small Jewish population on the island in this era. This form of anti-Semitism, Silverstein reveals, sprang almost exclusively from mythological beliefs.
Описание: Many American Christians have come to understand their relationship to other Christian denominations and traditions through the lens of religious persecution. This book provides a historical account of these developments, showing the global, theological, and political changes that made it possible for contemporary Christians to claim that there is a global war on Christians. This book, however, does not advocate on behalf of particular repressed Christian communities, nor does it argue for the genuineness (or lack thereof) of certain Christians' claims of persecution. Instead, this book is the first to examine the idea that there is a 'global war on Christians' and its analytical implications. It does so by giving a concise history of the categories (like 'martyrs'), evidence (statistics and metrics), and theologies that have come together to produce a global Christian imagination premised upon the notion of shared suffering for one's faith. The purpose in doing so is not to deny certain instances of suffering or death; rather, it is to reflect upon the consequences for thinking about religious violence and Christianity worldwide using terms such as a 'global war on Christians.'

Описание: After isolated terrorist incidents in 2015, the Chinese leadership has cracked down hard on Xinjiang and its Uyghurs. Today, there are thought to be up to a million Muslims held in 're-education camps' in the Xinjiang region of North-West China. One of the few Western commentators to have lived in the region, journalist Nick Holdstock travels into the heart of the province and reveals the Uyghur story as one of repression, hardship and helplessness. China's Forgotten People explains why repression of the Muslim population is on the rise in the world's most powerful one-party state. This updated and revised edition reveals the background to the largest known concentration camp network in the modern world, and reflects on what this means for the way we think about China.
Описание: When the Turks demanded the cancellation of all lectures on the Armenian Genocide and the non-participation of Armenian lecturers, the Israeli government demanded the same of the First International Conference on the Holocaust and Genocide. This book follows the author`s campaign against the Israeli government and his quest to hold the conference.
How is hostage space constructed? In this age-long procedure found in conflicts around the world, strange forms of terror and intimacy arise, particularly in the contemporary Islamic cultures of Chechnya, Albania, and Bosnia. This book investigates the modes of desire and politics found in kidnapping, in order to reveal the voices of victims and kidnappers that often remain closed up. Dejan Lukic explores the spaces where hostages and hostage takers come into contact - spaces of accident, sacrifice, hope, and catastrophe - or, in other words, the spaces that announce utopias bound to fail. In this book, the figures of the victim, the terrorist, the sovereign, the resistance fighter and the witness - among others - emerge with a new face; one that will contribute to our understandings of what it means to act politically and ethically today.
Автор: Scott Daniel Dunbar Название: Religious Conflict and Cooperation: An Introduction ISBN: 1441193464 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781441193469 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Цена: 10296.00 р. Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии.
Описание: This introductory textbook brings together the interrelated issues of religious conflict, dialogue and peace. Writings on religious violence and terrorism have engulfed public opinion, but few publications offer an introduction to both religious conflict and cooperation in the same volume. Scott Dunbar approaches the topic of religion from a balanced perspective by looking at both the malevolent and benevolent faces of religion and combining them into one coherent analysis.
Like the book’s cover-image, religion’s impact on human society consists of multifaceted narratives that comprise strands of a larger whole. The individual chapters of this book give readers new insights into specific issues of religious conflict and cooperation, while combined together they reveal a larger interconnected picture. Dunbar navigates religion’s mixed history and ambivalent messages, offering new philosophical insights and pragmatic suggestions for facing and alleviating one of the greatest challenges of our time.
