Medioriente Insanguinato
Tutto inizia dal Medio Oriente. Pensiamo ai banchi di scuola, dove molti di noi si sono innamorati della storia. Il Medio Oriente ha dato i natali all’Ebraismo, al Cristianesimo e infine all’Islam, religione praticate da più della metà della popolazione mondiale. Una terra che adesso, alcuni di noi, conoscono solo per le accezioni negative che la denotano. Diritti umani non sempre garantiti, fino ad arrivare in Paesi dove vengono completamente schiacciati alla luce del sole. Enormi problemi sociali, dovuti a situazioni economiche non propriamente floride e alla rappresentanza politica di cui molti cittadini, o sudditi, non godono. Scontri settari e intra religiosi, spesso veicolati da ...
Images of Colonialism and Decolonisation in the Italian Media
The twentieth century saw a proliferation of media discourses on colonialism and, later, decolonisation. Newspapers, periodicals, films, radio and TV broadcasts contributed to the construction of the image of the African “Other” across the colonial world. In recent years, a growing body of literature has explored the role of these media in many colonial societies. As regards the Italian context, however, although several works have been published about the links between colonial culture and national identity, none have addressed the specific role of the media and their impact on collective memory (or lack thereof). This book fills that gap, providing a review of images and themes that have surfaced and resurfaced over time. The volume is divided into two sections, each organised around an underlying theme: while the first deals with visual memory and images from the cinema, radio, television and new media, the second addresses the role of the printed press, graphic novels and comics, photography and trading cards.
Conflitto in Ucraina
Il conflitto in Ucraina ha attratto l'attenzione di diversi gruppi terroristici pronti a sfruttare il vuoto di potere e l'invio di armi dall'Occidente per creare un 'ponte' con l'Europa. La propaganda jihadista ha ampliamente analizzato il conflitto ucraino etichettandolo come una 'opportunità' per la causa jihadista. In questo libro, nato dal lavoro del team di SpecialEurasia, gli autori si soffermano sull'analizzare il rischio geopolitico per l'Europa derivante dalla presenza di foreign fighters in territorio ucraino così come dalla propaganda jihadista in diverse lingue che vede nella crisi che sta coinvolgendo l'intero continente europeo la possibilità di reclutare maggiori combattenti e condurre attentati.
The Montagutesi: From Feudalism to Freedom
The character of the Montagutesi men and women was formed over centuries in the crucible of war, feudalism, religious strife, the black death, political corruption, and banditry. A strong Catholic faith and family honor were important aspects of that character; they provided glimmers of hope in a seemingly hopeless world and kept the Montagutesi from total despair. Follow the lives of members of real Montagutesi families (many of them related to the author) over the course of six centuries. Eventually, many of these family members saw only one hope for their future and that of their children; they made the difficult decision to emigrate to the USA. The tragic events that kept the Montagutesi in poverty and hopelessness for centuries were widespread throughout Southern Italy. Thus, this historical novel will resonate with any descendant of a Southern Italian or Sicilian ancestor, or anyone valuing the escape from bondage.
