Описание:
Filinto M?ller was the most despised police chief in Brazilian history and later a detested senator. M?ller bore the brunt of many accusations of police wrongdoing owing to charges by yellow-journalist David Nasser. This volume examines the totality of M?ller’s life and is the result of 11 years of research in which 66,704 documents, 500 newspapers clippings, and 165 visual items were examined. Numerous interviews were likewise conducted. This work has uncovered little archival evidence to substantiate direct charges against M?ller. This book argues, however, that M?ller was responsible for the invention of modern-day death squads, the first of their kind in the Americas.

Описание: In the aftermath of the Port Arthur massacre on 28 April 1996 – when a gunman killed 35 people and seriously wounded another 21 in a quiet town in Tasmania – John Howard, a conservative prime minister who had been in office for just six weeks, moved swiftly to revolutionise Australia’s gun control laws. The National Firearms Agreement, produced just twelve days after the massacre, with support from all levels of government and across the Australian political divide, but derided by Howard’s natural political allies in the US, is now held up around the world as a model for gun control.Gun Control draws on interviews with those who supported and opposed the new laws, and asks whether the aftermath of the tragedy might have been a lost opportunity to achieve much more than simply preventing a repeat of Port Arthur – vitally important though that was. Tom Frame argues that the mechanisms for amending national firearms agreement are in need of substantial revision alongside the agreement itself. Frame analyses whether the Australian Government achieved its intention, and what it might have done in response to the massacre, and didn’t. The book also traces the history of Australian gun usage and control, and compares this with the US experience.

Описание:
Killing African Americans examines the pervasive, disproportionate, and persistent police and vigilante killings of African Americans in the United States as a racial control mechanism that sustains the racial control system of systemic racism. Noel A. Cazenave's well-researched and conceptualized historical sociological study is one of the first books to focus exclusively on those killings and to treat them as political violence. Few issues have received as much conventional and social media attention in the United States over the past few years or have, for decades now, sparked so many protests and so often strained race relations to a near breaking point. Because of both its timely and its enduring relevance, Killing African Americans can reach a large audience composed not only of students and scholars, but also of Movement for Black Lives activists, politicians, public policy analysts, concerned police officers and other criminal justice professionals, and anyone else eager to better understand this American nightmare and its solutions from a progressive and informed African American perspective.
Описание: Recently, a wall was built in eastern Germany. Made of steel and cement blocks, topped with razor barbed wire, and reinforced with video monitors and movement sensors, this wall was not put up to protect a prison or a military base, but rather to guard a three-day meeting of the finance ministers of the Group of Eight (G8). The wall manifested a level of security that is increasingly commonplace at meetings regarding the global economy. The authors of Shutting Down the Streets have directly observed and participated in more than 20 mass actions against global in North America and Europe, beginning with the watershed 1999 WTO meetings in Seattle and including the 2007 G8 protests in Heiligendamm. Shutting Down the Streets is the first book to conceptualize the social control of dissent in the era of alterglobalization. Based on direct observation of more than 20 global summits, the book demonstrates that social control is not only global, but also preemptive, and that it relegates dissent to the realm of criminality. The charge is insurrection, but the accused have no weapons. The authors document in detail how social control forecloses the spaces through which social movements nurture the development of dissent and effect disruptive challenges.

Описание: This book asserts that modern society will face an increasing loss of control over violence. It then defines "control" and "violence" before exploring what effects, or counter-effects, various forms of control can have on various forms of violence.
NA VE: Natural and unaffected; innocent; unsophisticated; ingenuous; having or showing a lack of experience, judgment, or information; absence of artificiality;
HOPE: To want and expect something to happen or be true; grounds for believing that something good may happen
NAIVE HOPE: The willingness to believe the best in and of people; tending to trust too easily.
When you believe in the basic goodness of people, and you trust that God will see your heart and be there for you, you may put up with anything in the hope and belief that this will eventually come to pass. And that things will end well. But what do you do when that does not happen?
The Human Spirit can survive many events, many scars. As a Christian wife, a born-again believer living with a proclaimed 'Christian' yet abusive husband, the prescribed answer is to love, forgive, submit and to give more, isn't it?
Or is it?
How long do you have to put up with it?
How much do you have to keep forgiving?
What does it take to make the change that you know must take place?
Marni discovers her own answers. This is the story of how one young misguided girl of good heart and misplaced na ve hope escaped a fate that she did not deserve. Growing into womanhood, she fights to keep her faith. Along the way she discovers that the 'God-fearing' man she married is not going to change, nor do the right thing. The shock of his final betrayals and her enforced eviction activates events that she could not possibly have foreseen. She eventually triumphs to reclaim her self-worth, her sense of self, and her spirit despite this man's driving desire to destroy her and the depths she is dragged into.
Share the journey of her twenty year commitment to a 'Christian' and his tyranny through control, domination, violence and fear, and her eventual self-discoveries before she can face her abuser without quaking.
