Will China become a multiparty democracy? The author posits that the more that Chinese elite thinking on China's development and change reconciles the tension between Chinese nationalism and collectivist, family-like ethics on the one hand, and the western democratic ideals based on each self-seeking individual's subjectivity on the other hand, the greater the chance that China's political development will lead to a multiparty democracy. The author projects that within the next twenty years there China will march on the path of democratization.

"Proche de personnalités de premier plan - comme Golda Meïr, François Mitterrand, Jacques Chirac, Shimon Peres, le Dalaï-Lama, Jean-Paul II ou Elie Wiesel -, Jean Kahn poursuit, depuis plus d'un demi siècle, un combat démocratique qui l'a conduit à la présidence de la Commission nationale consultative des Droits de l'homme. Il a notamment, durant les années 1970, aidé de nombreux Refuzniks à quitter l'Union soviétique ; il s'est vivement opposé à Lech Walesa et au Vatican lorsque des carmélites souhaitaient s'installer dans l'enceinte du camp d'extermination d'Auschwitz ; il a encore organisé, durant la guerre en Yougoslavie, le transfert de quatre-vingt-quatre Bosniaques musulmans vers Israël - acte qui témoigne d'une grande indépendance de pensée de la part de celui qui était alors président du Consistoire central des communautés juives de France ! Homme de dialogue profondément attaché à la laïcité, Jean Kahn aborde - au cours de ces huit entretiens - des thèmes aussi divers que les relations fraternelles entre Juifs et Chrétiens, l'antisémitisme endémique en Europe centrale et orientale, l'exemplarité discrète de l'Alsace ou le particularisme affirmé de celle-ci, ainsi que ses attentes à l'égard de l'Islam de France. Émaillées de nombreuses informations et anecdotes inédites, souvent touchantes et parfois savoureuses, ces conversations constituent un témoignage précieux sur sept décennies d'histoire ainsi qu'une analyse fine et nuancée sur les temps présents et les défis à relever pour l'avenir"--P.

"The 55-page report documents the experiences of people recently confined in the centers, who described being thrashed with rubber water hoses and hit with sticks or branches. Some described being punished with exercises intended to cause intense physical pain and humiliation, such as crawling along stony ground or standing in septic water pits. Former female detainees described rape and other sexual abuse by male guards. Many detainees said they were forced to work unpaid in the centers -- and in some cases, on construction sites -- and those who refused were beaten"--Publisher's website.

In recent years, the United States has apprehended growing numbers of Central Americans crossing the US-Mexico border without authorization. These migrants have left their countries for many reasons, including fleeing rising violence by gangs involved in the drug trade. US Customs and Border Protection deports the overwhelming majority of migrants it apprehends from Central America in accelerated processes known as "expedited removal" or "reinstatement of removal." These processes include rapid-fire screening for a migrant's fear of persecution or torture upon return to their home country. "You Don't Have Rights Here" details how summary screening at the US border is failing to identify people fleeing serious risks to their lives and safety. It is based primarily on the accounts of migrants sent back to Honduras or in detention in US migrant detention facilities. An analysis of US government deportation data shows that the Border Patrol flags only a tiny minority of Central Americans for a more extended interview to determine if they have a "credible" fear of returning home. Migrants said that Border Patrol officers seemed singularly focused on deporting them and their families despite their fear of return. Some said that after their deportation they went into hiding, fearful for their lives. Human Rights Watch calls on the US government to ensure that immigration authorities give the cases of Central American migrants sufficient scrutiny before returning them to risk of serious harm. It also urges US authorities to stop detaining migrant children, and to improve migrants' access to lawyers. -- back cover
