L’émergence et le maintien des espaces en marge constituent un phénomène global qui appelle un travail d’anthropologie comparée. Cet ouvrage met en miroir les camps de réfugiés palestiniens au Liban et les favelas brésiliennes. Bien que nés dans des contextes historiques et politiques très différents, la condition actuelle des camps et des favelas, aux marges de la ville et de l’État, invite au rapprochement. Au Liban, la situation des réfugiés palestiniens est des plus difficiles au regard des autres communautés de la diaspora palestinienne, l’intégration des Palestiniens dans la société libanaise ayant toujours représenté une menace pour l’équilibre confession...
Jonathan Littell verbleef tweeënhalve maand in Homs, in het bonkende hart van de wijken die in opstand zijn gekomen tegen het regime van Bachar al-Assad. Dit is men voelt het op elke pagina een tekst die geschreven is onder extreem gevaarlijke omstandigheden. Deze notities, die als geheel een uniek document vormen en het resultaat zijn van waarheidsgetrouw onderzoek ter plaatse, getuigen direct van de toestand van een bevolking in opstand en haar verzet tegen de strijdkrachten van de regering.
A stirring story of love discovered in unexpected places, growing us beyond who we thought we were—or imagined we could become Summer, 1981—Following the death of her father, Becky Klein, an adventurous, naive young woman from the Midwest, sets out for the Middle East, in search of her Jewish roots. She discovers something more, in a Gaza garden near a refugee camp by the sea. There she befriends the garden’s owner, a Palestinian activist who has served time in Israeli jails. As their relationship grows, Rebecca finds herself drawn into a story of roots unlike the one she had imagined. The West Bank, Cairo, Yarmouk, Benghazi—before long, their romance careens across a region in flames, child in tow, wrestling with conflicting maps of love, family and home. Moving, yet brimming with flashes of humor, Alison Glick’s tangle with the search for purpose and commitment yields a bracing, radiant story for these times.
Christians and the Middle East Conflict deals with the relationship of Christians and Christian theology to the various conflicts in the Middle East, a topic that is often sensationalized but still insufficiently understood. Political developments over the last two decades, however, have prompted observers to rediscover and examine the central role religious motivations play in shaping public discourses. This book proceeds on the assumption that neither a focus on the eschatological nor a narrow understanding of the plight of Christians in the Middle East is sufficient. Instead, it is necessary to understand Christians in context and to explore the ways that Christian theology applies throug...
Since 1971, UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme has embraced a number of principles that link the political, scientific and academic spheres. Biosphere Reserves and Sustainable Development Goals 2 is a reminder of the fundamental issues involved in governance. The diversity and multiplicity of stakeholders, and the complexity of the interplay between them, as well as their organization, are decisive factors in the proper management of resources and territories. The book also presents a number of case studies demonstrating that, between the strong development aspirations of their populations, the impact of human activities and the need to conserve their biological heritage, the biosphere reserves of the southern Mediterranean are facing major issues: agricultural pollution, forest fires, water use in a context of climate change, etc.
