In Sri Lanka A Victor's Peace, Ana Pararajasingham, provides a perspective on events as they unfolded following the end of Sri Lanka's civil war in May 2009.This book is a collection of articles by the author published between September 2009 and August 2019 in various journals covering events in Asia and the Pacific.Ana Pararajasingham was Director Programmes with the Switzerland based, Centre for Just Peace and Democracy (CJPD) between 2007 and 2009. He is the editor of Sri Lanka: 60 Years of "Independence" and Beyond published in 2009 and author of Sri Lanka's Endangered Peace Process and the Way Forward published in 2007.Events in post-war Sri Lanka have been underpinned by three distinct themes: Colombo's pursuit of a 'victor's peace'; Beijing's determination to strengthen the Beijing-Colombo axis and New Delhi's and Washington's attempts to re-assert their influence over Colombo.Ana Pararajasingham has scrupulously followed the oft-quoted dictum "Comment is free, but facts are sacred" . Damien Kingsbury, Professor of International Politics at Deakin University, Australia has identified the raison d' tre for these articles written over a ten year period in his powerful foreword pointing out that"The author has documented these events and issues in his articles, retaining a clear eye for fact where so many have been persuaded by a regrettable, often confrontational, emotion. For anyone wanting to understand post-LTTE war Sri Lanka, these articles offer invaluable insight. For anyone wanting to understand Sri Lanka's place in the wider geo-strategic field, and to get a glimpse of how global politics can play out in a corner of the world, these articles are enlightening."According to Associate Professor Jake Lynch of the University of Sydney, this astute and informative collection of articles by Ana Pararajasingham help explain how the Sri Lankan government and military were able avoid meaningful accountability for their copiously documented war crimes in the early months of 2009 through "Duplicity, delay and defiance" in its political positioning, together with exploiting rival geostrategic designs by global powers.Others who have recommended the book include: Geoffrey Robertson QC, Human Rights activist, Antony Lowenstein, Writer and Winner of 2019 Jerusalem (Al Quds) Peace Prize, Bruce Haigh, Former Australian Deputy High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, Bāshana Abeywardane, exiled Sri Lankan journalist and Lee Rhiannon Australian Greens' former Senator for New South Wales.

Millions of Mexican men crossed into the United States to find work. They took low-level positions that few Americans wanted and sent money back to communities that depended on their support. They periodically returned to Mexico, living their lives in both countries. After 1986, however, US authorities disrupted this back-and-forth movement by strengthening border controls. Many Mexican men chose to remain in the United States permanently for fear of not being able to come back north if they returned to Mexico. For them, the United States became a jaula de oro—a cage of gold. Undocumented Lives tells the story of Mexican migrants who were compelled to bring their families across the border and raise a generation of undocumented children.
Ana Enriqueta Teran is arguably Venezuela's finest poet. Celebrated throughout the Spanish-speaking world, she is almost unknown among anglophones. Until now only a handful of her poems have been translated into English, giving at best a diluted impression of a uniquely intense imagination. This bilingual edition reveals the power and beauty of this poet's Spanish poems through English versions of corresponding force. It invites readers to enter Teran's world--a world at once strongly Venezuelan and universally human, imbued with great beauty, sardonic humor, pitiless compassion, lucid wisdom, and joyful affirmation. Selected from several volumes of Teran's work, these poems span half a century of composition and show an extraordinary range in both form and substance. Some are written in closed forms, some in free verse. Some are carefully evocative representations of the landscapes and cityscapes that have nourished the poet's intelligence and imagination. Others are dramatic character studies. All are infused with Teran's rare sensibility and realized through language that manages to be at once graceful, urgent, and explosive. This volume is a treasure for all lovers of poetry. Deal Struck with Happiness How much sweetness to make right the night and this clutch of anemones near thin smooth consoling stones, stones havens of southern weather. Of a woman who watches Cepheids quaver among lightbursting mangroves. Of a woman who offers cats-eyes and clematis only, Islands, for the sake of setting right her deal struck with happiness.

Peace with All - AKBAR - The First Interfaith Mogul King

The Great Mogul Emperor Akbar who lived in the 15th Century was the first King who brought the idea of interfaith tolerance into Indian polity. He introduced debate crossing religious lines between Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Jains, Zoroastrians and Sikhs. He eased the sociopolitical tensions for non-Muslims by rescinding taxes on pilgrims who were living in Hindustan. His amazing transformation from a brutal warrior to a philosopher King offers transformative hope to all beings.His respect for the great Sufi Masters influenced his ideas so deeply that he became an architect of religiously shared spiritual principles. He believed that Sufis had an authentic approach to religious tolerance because they found wisdom through their experiences. Sufis did not blindly follow precepts that divided religious practitioners as they were somatically motivated to find truth in all directions of life and philosophy and for Akbar, this fact supported his vision of the Din-i-Illahi, the shared spiritual gatherings, that would bring his ideal forward for Peace with All.

This book offers a comprehensive film-by-film analysis of Spain’s most famous living director, Pedro Almodóvar. It shows how Almodóvar's films draw on various national cinemas and genres, including Spanish cinema of the dictatorship, European art cinema, Hollywood melodrama and film noir. It also argues that Almodóvar's work is a form of social critique, his films consistently engaging with and challenging stereotypes about traditional and contemporary Spain in order to address Spain's traumatic historical past and how it continues to inform the present. Drawing on scholarship in both English and Spanish, the book will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students of film studies and Hispanic studies, scholars of contemporary cinema and general readers with a passion for the films of Pedro Almodóvar.
What does it mean to say that modern politics is personalised? What is distinctive about contemporary forms of personalisation and are these changes within British politics enduring? This book rethinks the concept of personalisation and develops an analytical framework for its study, challenging current theorisations within political science and media studies. Moreover, Langer presents rigorous new empirical data regarding the development of personalisation in the United Kingdom, from 1945 to 2009.A must-read for anyone researching the phenomenon of personalisation internationally, this book’s conceptual depth and empirical range make it a benchmark for future studies.
This book represents the first ever comprehensive study of the EU’s foreign and security policy in Bosnia. Drawing on a wealth of fresh empirical material, it demonstrates that institutions are a key variable in explaining levels of common foreign security policy (CFSP) coherence and effectiveness over time. In doing so, it also sheds new light on the role that intergovernmental, bureaucratic and local political contestation have played in the formulation and implementation of a European foreign policy. The study concludes that the EU’s involvement in Bosnia has not only had a significant impact on this Balkan country in its path from stabilisation to integration, but has also transformed the EU, its foreign and security policy and shaped the development of the EU’s international identity along the way. The book will be of great interest to researchers and students of EU politics, International Relations and Bosnian politics.
Fairies exist and these girls have proof Elsie and Frances feel sad for adults who simply can't see the magic in the forests around them. If only they could see what we see. Taking photos is like opening windows . . . And that's just what they did. In 1918, Elsie Wright and her cousin Frances Griffith photographed fairies in their garden, in the small village of Cottingley (Yorkshire). Without expecting it, many people paid attention--including renowned writer and spiritualist Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Although initially reluctant, the famous author convinced a large part of public opinion. This is the story, narrated by Elsie herself, of the true events.
