• Violence, counter-insurgency, and the transcript of resistance
• Discord, accord, and the politics for peace.

"Nationalism in the Vernacular illuminates the relationship between orality and nationalist politics. In doing so, it provides a new angle to the understanding of nationalism by looking at the popular support and participation of ordinary people in the construction of Mizo nationalism-in short, the vernacularization of nationalism. The book examines this process of vernacularization at two levels: first, the process of creating a vernacular language to express nationalist ideas and, second, the irrepressibility of the oral against the Indian state's violent response to the nationalist movement. Drawing from multiple sources, the book-through the rich oral narratives and archival material, including government and media reports-shows how Mizos have remained active agents in asserting and claiming their rights to define ideas of nationalism in their own terms by making them distinctively Mizo"-- Provided by publisher.

"The Paris peace settlements following the First World War remain amongst the most controversial treaties in history. Bringing together leading international historians, this volume assesses the extent to which a new international order, combining old and new political forms, emerged from the peace negotiations and settlements after 1918. Taking account of new historiographical perspectives and methodological approaches to the study of peacemaking after the First World War, it views the peace negotiations and settlements after 1918 as a site of remarkable innovations in the practice of international politics. The contributors address how a wide range of actors set out new ways of thinking about international order, established innovative institutions, and revolutionised the conduct of international relations. They show how the ways in which these innovations layered upon existing practices, institutions and concepts shaped the emerging international order after 1918"-- Provided by publisher.

"Situated within the context of seismic global transformations of the early twentieth century-namely the two World Wars and the crisis of the imperial order-Provincial Democracy delves into the period between the decline of empire and the rise of the nation. This period, the book contends, is defined by not only the dominance of the nation state and debates over a new global order, but also the expansion of democratic participation in defining and negotiating political futures and an increased use of the language of liberalism, political rights, and self-government in colonial India. Moreover, it shifts the focus from the dominant narrative of linguistic nationalism as defining regionalism on to debates over questions of representation, rights, political reforms, and federalism. Thus, it uncovers a broad perspective on political imaginaries that anticipated democracy in independent India"-- Provided by publisher.

"Private associations abounded in the ancient Greek world and beyond, and this volume provides the first large-scale study of the strategies of governance which they employed. Emphasis is placed on the values fostered by the regulations of associations, the complexities of the private-public divide (and that divide's impact on polis institutions) and the dynamics of regional and global networks and group identity. The attested links between rules and religious sanctions also illuminate the relationship between legal history and religion. Moreover, possible links between ancient associations and the early Christian churches will prove particularly valuable for scholars of the New Testament. The book concludes by using the regulations of associations to explore a novel and revealing aspect of the interaction between the Mediterranean world, India and China. Vincent Gabrielsen is Professor of Ancient History at the SAXO-Institute of the University of Copenhagen. He specialises in Greek and Hellenistic history and epigraphy and was Director of 'The Copenhagen Associations Project' and is now Director of 'The Rhodes Centennial Project'. Mario C.D.

In DEAD SEA GUARDIANS, historic enemies join forces on a heroic journey to save the Dead Sea from disappearing due to catastrophic overconsumption and poor water management. The film follows three swimmers-Oded, an Israeli, Munqeth, a Jordanian, and Yusuf, a Palestinian-as they put together a group of international swimmers to attempt something that has never been done: swim across the Dead Sea from Jordan to Israel. As they set out to accomplish this extraordinary and dangerous feat in the hopes of gaining media exposure that will drive the region's countries to take action, they also confront the cultural differences and political realities that complicate their friendships

Former president Omar al-Bashir of Sudan dropped over four thousand bombs on villages across the Nuba Mountains. Ganja, the 26 year old pacifist son of a rebel commander, witnessed a bomb drop meters from his home. He has never found a way to fight back - until now. Ganja became President Bashir. Or to be precise, he became the man who controls Bashir's head. Ganja and his friends in the Nuba Mountains acquired a puppet of the dictator and filmed a satirical web series called "Bisha TV." The show follows the president's schemes to raise money for a campaign of violent suppression across Sudan. Over one million people have watched "Bisha TV, " most of them inside Sudan. This short film weaves together the story of Ganja's life in the Nuba Mountains, his creative process working under extraordinary conditions, and darkly hilarious scenes from "Bisha TV." Through Ganja's work - and the comic escapades of two Sudanese strongmen - we see an unlikely flowering of political humor and appreciate the true power of grassroots media

IF YOU CAN EVER GET BACK tells the story of three US army combat medics who served in Iraq's "triangle of death." Ten years later, they struggle to find their place in the civilian world and to lay to rest their wartime ghosts. Combat medics suffer especially high rates of PTSD, depression, and suicide, and the film explores their unique experiences in war and after war. By interweaving the everyday and the extreme, the present and the past, the film offers an open-ended reflection on the moral, emotional, and existential consequences of war for those soldiers who must aid wounded enemy combatants as well as Americans, and who forever carry a special burden of each life they were unable to save. The film features Sergeant Kristina Hilstad (Pennington), First Sergeant Robert Brady, and Staff Sergeant Philip Belmont and their families

Winding through a seldom told history of the Philippines and United States, Celestino Almeda, Rudy Panaglima, and Feliciana Reyes find themselves inducted into U.S. Armed Forces during WWII.

Today, Celestino, Rudy and Feliciana's continued fight represents the tens of thousands of elderly Filipino veterans who remain unacknowledged despite their evidence of service

"This book offers a comprehensive analysis of what Ukraine should become after the war and what tools policymakers can use to fulfill these goals. It provides perspectives from leading scholars and practitioners. While each chapter of the book covers a specific sector, there is a natural overlap across the chapters because Ukraine’s reconstruction should involve a comprehensive transformation of the country. The leitmotif of this book is clear: reconstruction is not about rebuilding Ukraine to the pre-war state; it is about a deep modernisation of the country on its path to European Union accession. All critical elements of the economy and society will have to leapfrog and undergo reforms to help Ukraine escape its post-Soviet legacy and become a full-fledged democracy with a modern economy, strong institutions and a powerful defence sector. Ukraine’s ownership of the reconstruction will be key to its success."-- Summary from CEPR introductory page for title

Unbeknownst to much of the world, in Spain today, torture victims live just blocks from their notorious police torturers, who walk free every day. Tens of thousands of parents continue to search for their children who were likely stolen at birth. And families desperate to recover their loved ones' bodies from thousands of mass graves across Spain are blocked by their own government from doing so. Filmed over six years, THE SILENCE OF OTHERS reveals the epic struggle of victims of Spain's 40-year dictatorship under General Franco, as they organize a groundbreaking international lawsuit and fight a "pact of forgetting" around the crimes they suffered. A cautionary tale about fascism and the dangers of forgetting the past
