 El Salvador at War An Oral History of Conflict from the 1979 Insurrection to the Present【電子書籍】[ Max G. Manwaring ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞TO UNDERSTAND INSURGENT conflict in the Third World, Americans must recognize the nature of the struggle between totalitarianism and democracy. The insurgency in El Salvador in the 1980s is not a mass movement, but a carefully scripted strategy executed by an educated and disciplined elite. This insurgent group is not in revolt against a government or its military, per se. Rather it is reacting against corruption, racial and religious discrimination, foreign intervention, and inability or unwillingness of a government to protect and be responsible to the general population. The revolutionary elite uses political, economic, and social grievances as justification for its actions. This struggle between insurgent and incumbent is over who has the moral right to govern. Such is the probable nature of future conflict, and it is with that understanding that any appropriate response must begin.＜br /＞ El Salvador at War is an oral history of the Salvadoran struggle. In an illuminating departure from conventional histories of war, Max Manwaring and Court Prisk trace the major contours of the conflict. Their book tells what key individuals think about the war, what the really important lessons are, and what the participants should have learned. It is their perspective, their truth, recorded hereーwhat a number of the key participants see as historical fact and a basis for action.＜br /＞ Studying the fundamental nature of insurgent conflict is key to understanding this most prevalent form of twentieth-century conventional war. In examining insurgent conflict, El Salvador at War offers some new insights into our role in contemporary international security.＜/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。 | 432円 |
 Notes of a Journey on the Upper Mekong, Siam【電子書籍】[ H. Warington Smyth ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In "Notes of a Journey on the Upper Mekong, Siam," H. Warington Smyth intricately chronicles his explorations along the Mekong River, weaving together personal narrative and keen observation. Smyth's prose captures the lush landscapes, diverse cultures, and intricate socio-political dynamics of the region during the late 19th century. His literary style blends descriptive richness with scientific precision, creating a vivid tapestry that invites readers to immerse themselves in a world that is both exotic and rapidly changing. Framed within the broader context of Western explorations of Southeast Asia, this work serves not only as an adventure narrative but as an ethnographical study and a reflection on imperial attitudes of the era. H. Warington Smyth was a British geologist and explorer whose academic background laid the foundation for his travels and studies. His affinity for natural history and geography drove his passion for documenting the rich, diverse cultures and environments he encountered. This journey along the Mekong was influenced by contemporary interests in exploration, colonialism, and the burgeoning field of anthropology, positioning Smyth as a critical observer of both the landscapes and the people he encountered. I recommend this book to travelers, historians, and cultural enthusiasts alike, as it offers an invaluable glimpse into a bygone era of exploration. Smyth's insights not only enhance our understanding of the Mekong River's geography and its inhabitants but also challenge the reader to reflect on the implications of discovery and cultural encounters in the age of imperialism.＜/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。 | 310円 |
 Turning the Wheel【電子書籍】[ Kevan Manwaring ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞'The frisky Oss appeared ? the dancers and drummers in a kind of shamanic trance (induced by a day of drumming, dancing and beer). They were wilder than ever; the atmosphere was positively Bacchanalian and I felt we had all become lost in a kind of collective folk consciousness.' On two wheels across Britain 'Bard on a Bike' Kevan Manwaring searches out the places and people who mark the seasons and cycles in their own special way - in ceremonies and festivals both private and public, large and intimate, ancient and modern. Along the way, he experiences and relates moments of sacred time found in the unlikeliest of places and circumstances, showing how it is a state of mind that can be experienced not only at sacred sites, but in the everyday. A collection of reflections about being fully alive in the Twenty First century, as much a useful guide for the curious, Turning the Wheel is a wise and witty account of a leather-clad time-traveller.＜/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。 | 1,288円 |

It includes articles by participants in a 2008 conference at the University of Pennsylvania's Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology as well as other prominent scholars. The essays, which range over the Americas, Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia and the Near East, and over several millennia, may serve as a corrective to dogmatic claims about the future of climate and of mankind, and as a spur to the dispassionate study of both.
