Understanding Boko Haram Terrorism and Insurgency in Africa【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The primary objective of this book is to understand the nature of the Boko Haram insurgency in northeast Nigeria.</p> <p>Boko Haram’s goal of an Islamic Caliphate, starting in the Borno State in the North East that will eventually cover the areas of the former Kanem-Borno Empire, is a rejection of the modern state system forced on it by the West. The central theme of this volume examines the relationship between the failure of the state-building project in Nigeria and the outbreak and nature of insurgency. At the heart of the Boko Haram phenomenon is a country racked with cleavages, making it hard for Nigeria to cohere as a modern state. Part I introduces this theme and places the Boko Haram insurgency in a historical context. There are, however, multiple cleavages in Nigeria ? ethnic, regional, cultural, and religious ? and Part II examines the different state-society dynamics fuelling the conflict. Political grievances are common to every society; however, what gives Boko Haram the space to express such grievances through violence? Importantly, this volume demonstrates that the insurgency is, in fact, a reflection of the hollowness within Nigeria’s overall security. Part III looks at the responses to Boko Haram by Nigeria, neighbouring states, and external actors. For Western actors, Boko Haram is seen as part of the "global war on terror" and the fact that it has pledged allegiance to ISIS encourages this framing. However, as the chapters here discuss, this is an over-simplification of Boko Haram and the West needs to address the multiple dimension of Boko Haram.</p> <p>This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism and political violence, insurgencies, African politics, war and conflict studies, and IR in general.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Radical Frontiers in the Spaghetti Western Politics, Violence and Popular Italian Cinema【電子書籍】[ Prof Austin Fisher ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Ever more popular in the age of DVDs, eBay and online fandom, the Spaghetti Westerns of the 1960s have undergone a mainstream renaissance which has nevertheless left their intimate relationship to the troubled politics of 1960s Italy unexamined. Radical Frontiers reappraises the genre in relation to the revolutionary New Left and the events of 1968 to uncover the complexities of a cinematic milieu too often dismissed as formulaic and homogeneous. Establishing the backdrop of post-war Italy in which the Roman studio system actively blended Italian and American culture, Austin Fisher looks in detail at the works of Damiano Damiani, Sergio Sollima, Sergio Corbucci, Giulio Questi and Giulio Petroni and how these directors reformatted the Hollywood Western to yield new resonance for militant constituencies and radical groups. Radical Frontiers identifies the main variants of these militant Westerns, which brazenly endorsed violent peasant insurrection in the 'Mexico' of the popular imagination, turning the camera on the hitherto heroic colonialists of the West and exposing the brutal mechanisms of a society infested with latent fascism.<br /> The ways in which the films' artistic failures reflect the ideological confusions of the radical groups is examined and the genre's legacy is reappraised, as the revolutionary energy of Italy's New Left becomes subsumed amidst the conflicting agendas of New Hollywood, blaxploitation and the 'grindhouse' revival of Tarantino, Rodriguez and Raimi. Reclaiming the Spaghetti Western from the domain of the merely cool and repositioning it within the spectrum of late-1960s radical cinema, Radical Frontiers analyses the genre's narrative and cinematographic inscriptions in their political context to uncover Far Left doctrines in these tales of outlaws and sheriffs, banditry and redemptive violence.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>"Temporal Power: A Study in Supremacy" by Marie Corelli presents a compelling exploration of the intricate relationship between spiritualism and imperial power. Through a blend of fictional narrative and philosophical discourse, Corelli scrutinizes the constructs of authority and dominance, weaving a tapestry of richly drawn characters embroiled in existential battles between the temporal and the eternal.

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>William Morris's "The Defence of Guenevere and Other Poems" is a seminal work that captures the romantic and political ethos of the late Victorian era while intertwining it with medieval themes and legends. The collection compiles a series of narrative and lyrical poems that explore love, betrayal, and the complexities of human values through the lens of Arthurian legend, particularly focusing on the character of Guenevere. Morris employs a rich tapestry of archaic language and vibrant imagery that not only pays homage to the poetic traditions of the past but also serves as a critique of contemporary social mores, demonstrating his mastery in merging past and present narratives. William Morris, a key figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement, was not only a poet but also a designer and socialist thinker. His deep appreciation for medieval literature and art stemmed from his desire to reconnect with a more authentic and meaningful existence, which he believed had been lost in the industrial age. These influences are palpable in this collection, wherein Morris's idealism and yearning for a utopian society inform his characterization of Guenevere, ultimately leading to profound reflections on love and justice. Readers seeking to delve into a world where myth intertwines with moral inquiry should not miss this collection. Morris's exquisite craftsmanship, combined with his insightful commentary on art and society, offers a rich reading experience that resonates with timeless themes. "The Defence of Guenevere and Other Poems" stands as a vital contribution to both Victorian literature and the exploration of human experience.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
