After the successful expedition of Malaspina, many mestizos from New Spain and Peru migrated to the southwestern pacific to populate the Spanish settlements. The viceroy of Peru appointed an audiencia, led by a captain, to govern the Spanish towns in Nova Zeelandia. Lydia, the niece of the captain, usurped and eventually replaced her paternal uncle when she realised the natives had a tradition of a female-centred leadership. Can she handle the conflicts between the Spanish settlers, the British competitors and the natives?

Chinese Entrepreneurs in the Economic Development of China

Chinese Entrepreneurs in the Economic Development of China

Rashid Malik

Praeger Publishers Inc
1997
sidottu
The entrepreneurs of China are dynamic and contributing positively to economic development, but unlike Western entrepreneurs, they are uncertain and insecure about government policies and their position in society. This book shows that in the history of China and in the politics of the 1980s, all are influenced by culture and have created an entrepreneurial class that is ambiguous and fragile. Yet the entrepreneurs are moving China toward economic development, and this is giving rise to a new economic culture which honors profit-making ventures. The Chinese Communist Party is making room for entrepreneurs and consumers in the economic arena. The study supports the idea that entrepreneurship is the key to economic development, but it also shows that private entrepreneurship influences government policy and traditional values. It also points out the vital role of the consumer.

Passage to Dusk

Passage to Dusk

Rashid al-Daif

University of Texas Press
2001
pokkari
Passage to Dusk deals with the Lebanese civil war of the 1970s in a postmodern, poetic style. The narrative focuses on the deranged, destabilized, confused, and hyper-perceptive state of mind created by living on the scene through a lengthy war. The story is filled with details that transcend the willed narcissism of the main character, while giving clues to the culture of the time. It is excellent fiction, written in a surrealistic mode, but faithful to the characters of the people of Lebanon, their behavior during the war, and their contradictions. Issues of gender and identity are acutely portrayed against Lebanon's shifting national landscape. The English-language reader has not been much exposed to Lebanese literature in translation, and Rashid al-Daif is one of Lebanon's leading writers. He has been translated into eight languages, including French, German, Italian, Polish, and Spanish. Translator Nirvana Tanoukhi manages to preserve Daif's unusual, moving, and at times humorous style in her English rendition.

Who's Afraid of Meryl Streep?

Who's Afraid of Meryl Streep?

Rashid al-Daif

University of Texas Press
2014
nidottu
Rashid al-Daif’s provocative novel Who’s Afraid of Meryl Streep? takes an intimate look at the life of a recently married Lebanese man. Rashoud and his wife struggle as they work to negotiate not only their personal differences but also rapidly changing attitudes toward sex and marriage in Lebanese culture. As their fragile bond disintegrates, Rashoud finds television playing a more prominent role in his life; his wife uses the presence of a television at her parents’ house as an excuse to spend time away from her new home. Rashoud purchases a television in the hopes of luring his wife back home, but in a pivotal scene, he instead finds himself alone watching Kramer vs. Kramer. Without the aid of subtitles, he struggles to make sense of the film, projecting his wife’s behavior onto the character played by Meryl Streep, who captivates him but also frightens him in what he sees as an effort to take women’s liberation too far.Who’s Afraid of Meryl Streep? offers a glimpse at evolving attitudes toward virginity, premarital sex, and abortion in Lebanon and addresses more universal concerns such as the role of love and lust in marriage. The novel has found wide success in Arabic and several European languages and has also been dramatized in both Arabic and French.

What Makes a Man?

What Makes a Man?

Rashid al-Daif; Joachim Helfer

University of Texas Press
2015
nidottu
In 2003, Lebanese writer Rashid al-Daif spent several weeks in Germany as part of the “West-East Divan” program, a cultural exchange effort meant to improve mutual awareness of German and Middle Eastern cultures. He was paired with German author Joachim Helfer, who then returned the visit to al-Daif in Lebanon. Following their time together, al-Daif published in Arabic a literary reportage of his encounter with Helfer in which he focuses on the German writer’s homosexuality. His frank observations have been variously read as trenchant, naïve, or offensive. In response, Helfer provided an equally frank point-by-point riposte to al-Daif’s text. Together these writers offer a rare exploration of attitudes toward sex, love, and gender across cultural lines. By stretching the limits of both fiction and essay, they highlight the importance of literary sensitivity in understanding the Other.Rashid al-Daif’s “novelized biography” and Joachim Helfer’s commentary appear for the first time in English translation in What Makes a Man? Sex Talk in Beirut and Berlin. Also included in this volume are essays by specialists in Arabic and German literature that shed light on the discourse around sex between these two authors from different cultural contexts.

Private Industrial Investment in Pakistan

Private Industrial Investment in Pakistan

Rashid Amjad

Cambridge University Press
2007
pokkari
This book examines the behaviour of private industrial investment in Pakistan in the 1960s, in the first half of which it rose at an unprecedented rate, followed by sharp decline, and then stagnation for the rest of the period. The approach adopted is institutional and empirical. The developments studied appeared to be very much the product of the institutional setting of Pakistan, which was different from that of most advanced countries but possibly riot so dissimilar from that in many other developing countries.

"Alina of Azimabad provides a rare and valuable insight into issues being faced by women in South Asia. Alina, the character created by the author tells an extraordinary and remarkable account of her life spread over almost half a century. The story starts off in the aftermath of the partition of India. It is a saga of the hidden world of feudalism with its exploitation and degeneration.The account also stresses the point that Pakistan is not inhabited by fanatics and is as normal a country as any other.The author has very vividly touched upon social problems in his work and has specifically addressed gender issues. His strength lies in his ability to express himself with ease. The language he uses is simple, crisp and endowed with brevity. He has also introduced several common words of South Asian origin into the English Language. The narrative is very readable and interesting.

Listen to the Beat of the Drum: Essence of Servant Leadership

Listen to the Beat of the Drum: Essence of Servant Leadership

Rashid Faisal

Black Ivy Scholar Publications
2018
nidottu
In this small volume, Rashid Faisal, addresses the void in American leadership through the lens of Dr. King's servant leadership philosophy and his social activism during the Civil Rights movement. In eight lectures contained within the pages of this modest text, Faisal challenges the reader to embrace a new definition of leadership based on five servant leadership principles found in studying the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This text represents a small contribution to the global commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's assassination on April 4, 1968. The 50th anniversary of King's tragic death marks an opportunity for leaders to reflect on the triad of social injustices King identified during the last years of his life: racism, materialism and militarism.

Germany, Poland, and the Danzig Question, 1937–1939

Rashid A. Halloway

Hamilton Books
2021
nidottu
Germany, Poland, and the Danzig Question, 1937—1939 explores the events that led to the Nazi occupation of Danzig, which was the catalyst of World War II. In this book Rashid A. Halloway sheds light on German, Polish, and British diplomatic negotiations at the highest level during a time when diplomacy was at a premium due to the perceived threat to peace in Europe under Hitler. Halloway presents a study of intense diplomatic negotiations in the pre-World Ware II years between Germany and Poland relating to Germany’s desire to gain access, through Poland along the Baltic Sea, to East Prussia, more particularly to the Free City of Danzig, by establishing a secure transport route through that part of Poland, commonly referred to as the “Polish Corridor” and the negative result.

The Iron Cage: The Story of the Palestinian Struggle for Statehood

The Iron Cage: The Story of the Palestinian Struggle for Statehood

Rashid Khalidi

BEACON PRESS
2007
nidottu
At a time when a lasting peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis seems virtually unattainable, understanding the roots of their conflict is an essential step in restoring hope to the region. In The Iron Cage, Rashid Khalidi, one of the most respected historians and political observers of the Middle East, homes in on Palestinian politics and history. By drawing on a wealth of experience and scholarship, Khalidi provides a lucid context for the realities on the ground today, a context that has been, until now, notably lacking in our discourse. The story of the Palestinian search to establish a state begins in the mandate period immediately following the breakup of the Ottoman Empire, the era of British control, when fledgling Arab states were established by the colonial powers with assurances of eventual independence. Mandatory Palestine was a place of real promise, with unusually high literacy rates and a relatively advanced economy. But the British had already begun to construct an iron cage to hem in the Palestinians, and the Palestinian leadership made a series of errors that would eventually prove crippling to their dream of independence. The Palestinians' struggle intensified in the stretch before and after World War II, when colonial control of the region became increasingly unpopular, population shifts began with heavy Jewish immigration from Eastern Europe, and power began to devolve to the United States. In this crucial period, Palestinian leaders continued to run up against the walls of the ever-constricting iron cage. They proved unable to achieve their long-cherished goal of establishing an independent state--a critical failure that set a course for the decades that followed, right through the eras of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, the Palestinian Authority, and Hamas. Rashid Khalidi's engrossing narrative of this torturous history offers much-needed perspective for anyone concerned about peace in the Middle East.

The Iron Cage: The Story of the Palestinian Struggle for Statehood

Rashid Khalidi

BEACON PRESS

In Resurrecting Empire, Rashid Khalidi dissected the failures of colonial policy over the entire span of the modern history of the Middle East, predicted the meltdown in Iraq that we are now witnessing with increasing horror, and offered viable alternatives for achieving peace in the region. His newest book, The Iron Cage, hones in on Palestinian politics and history. Once again Khalidi draws on a wealth of experience and scholarship to elucidate the current conflict, using history to provide a clear-eyed view of the situation today. The story of the Palestinian search to establish a state begins in the era of British control over Palestine and stretches between the two world wars, when colonial control of the region became increasingly unpopular and power began to shift toward the United States. In this crucial period, and in the years immediately following World War II, Palestinian leaders were unable to achieve the long-cherished goal of establishing an independent state-a critical failure that throws a bright light on the efforts of the Palestinians to create a state in the many decades since 1948. By frankly discussing the reasons behind this failure, Khalidi offers a much-needed perspective for anyone concerned about peace in the Middle East.

Brokers of Deceit

Brokers of Deceit

Rashid Khalidi

Beacon Press
2014
pokkari
Winner of the 2014 Lionel Trilling Book Award An examination of the failure of the United States as a broker in the Palestinian-Israeli peace process, through three key historical moments For more than seven decades the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people has raged on with no end in sight, and for much of that time, the United States has been involved as a mediator in the conflict. In this book, " "acclaimed historian Rashid Khalidi zeroes in on the United States s role as the purported impartial broker in this failed peace process. Khalidi closely analyzes three historical moments that illuminate how the United States involvement has, in fact, thwarted progress toward peace between Israel and Palestine. The first moment he investigates is the Reagan Plan of 1982, when Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin refused to accept the Reagan administration s proposal to reframe the Camp David Accords more impartially. The second moment covers the period after the Madrid Peace Conference, from 1991 to 1993, during which negotiations between Israel and Palestine were brokered by the United States until the signing of the secretly negotiated Oslo accords. Finally, Khalidi takes on President Barack Obama s retreat from plans to insist on halting the settlements in the West Bank. Through in-depth research into and keen analysis of these three moments, as well as his own firsthand experience as an advisor to the Palestinian delegation at the 1991 pre Oslo negotiations in Washington, DC, Khalidi reveals how the United States and Israel have actively colluded to prevent a Palestinian state and resolve the situation in Israel s favor. "Brokers of Deceit" bares the truth about why peace in the Middle East has been impossible to achieve: for decades, US policymakers have masqueraded as unbiased agents working to bring the two sides together, when, in fact, they have been the agents of continuing injustice, effectively preventing the difficult but essential steps needed to achieve peace in the region.

Justin Kena never knew his own strength. He was an average guy stuck working at a mediocre nonprofit in Washington, DC, unsure exactly where his next professional steps would take him.

A guru and a hustler all at once, Dante earns Justin's trust and ushers him into a new and terrifying world just under the surface of the one he's always known. In this world, men and women are nothing more than food for daywalking vampires and housing for sinister demons. This lifestyle consumes Justin until he's not even sure he could turn back-or if he even wants to. Over the span of centuries and thousands of miles, from slave coffles in West Africa to the antebellum South; from the black sand beaches of Dominica to the back alleys of the nation's capital, Justin and Dante will live by the precepts of justice and redemption while satisfying their most carnal urges: A lust for blood...and a thirst for life.This is the Birth of a Dark Nation.
