The Tanks of August
The publication of this book coincides with the second anniversary of the armed conflict between Russia and Georgia on August 8-12, 2008, now dubbed the Five Day War. The conflict was triggered by Georgia's ambitious and nationalistic president, Mikhail Saakashvili, who attempted a "blitzkrieg" to conquer the former Georgian autonomy of South Ossetia, which had proclaimed independence. That attempt led to a military intervention by Russia, which acted as the guarantor of peace in the region, and the first "official war" between Russia and one of the former Soviet republics. This work contains six essays, from a primarily Russian perspective, which provide an in-depth analysis of the political, social, economic, and military context for and causes of the war, the nature of wartime military operations, the human and material costs of the brief struggle, and the war's likely implications for the future.
Inventing the Berbers
Before the Arabs conquered northwest Africa in the seventh century, Ramzi Rouighi asserts, there were no Berbers. There were Moors (Mauri), Mauretanians, Africans, and many tribes and tribal federations such as the Leuathae or Musulami; and before the Arabs, no one thought that these groups shared a common ancestry, culture, or language. Certainly, there were groups considered barbarians by the Romans, but "Barbarian," or its cognate, "Berber" was not an ethnonym, nor was it exclusive to North Africa. Yet today, it is common to see studies of the Christianization or Romanization of the Berbers, or of their resistance to foreign conquerors like the Carthaginians, Vandals, or Arabs. Archaeolog...
How We Think They Think
“Maurice Bloch is so ferociously smart that one can always enjoy tangling with his ideas, even when—perhaps especially when—one doesn’t agree with him. This is an important and provocative book.” —Sherry Ortner Columbia University These essays by one of anthropology’s most original theorists consider such fundamental questions as: Is cognition language-based? How reliable a guide to memory are people’s narratives about themselves? What connects the “social recalling” studied by anthropologists to the “autobiographical memory” studied by psychologists? Now gathered in accessible form for the first time and drawing frequently upon the author’s fieldwork among the Zafimaniry of Madagascar for ethnographic examples, the twelve closely linked essays of How We Think They Think pose provocative challenges not only to conventional cognitive models but to the basic assumptions that underlie much of ethnography. This book will be read with interest by those who study culture and cognition, ethnographic theory and practice, and the peoples and cultures of Africa.
World Report 2007
Human Rights Watch is increasingly recognized as the world’s leader in building a stronger awareness for human rights. Their annual World Report is the most probing review of human rights developments available anywhere. Written in straightforward, non-technical language, Human Rights Watch World Report prioritizes events in the most affected countries during the previous year. The backbone of the report consists of a series of concise overviews of the most pressing human rights issues in countries from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, with particular focus on the role—positive or negative—played in each country by key domestic and international figures. Highly anticipated and widely publicized by the U.S. and international press every year, the World Report is an invaluable resource for journalists, diplomats, and all citizens of the world.

ÇELİK KARDEŞLİĞİ SERİSİ / 1. KİTAP / KIZIL KELEBEKLER VADİSİ
Afetin üzerinden tam beş asır geçmişti. Ülkeler kaybolmuş, devletler yıkılmış, dünya ve iklim değişmişti. Hayatta kalanlar yeni tanrılarla tanışmıştı. Merhametli olanlar, iyiler, kötüler ve acımasızlar. Hayatın daha yaşanılabilir olduğu Ekvator eksenine yakın bölgelere yerleşen insanlar yeni dünya içinde yeniden medeniyetlerini kurmaya başlamıştı. Büyü, tanrılar ve onlarla gelen diğer şeylerle birlikte yükselen medeniyet seviyesi buharlı devirlere kadar yeniden ulaşmıştı. Yeniden 1890-1910 zamanlarını yaşayan şehirlerin insanları neredeyse her milletten ve ulustandı. İşte bu zamanların içinde ufak adalardan oluşan, yüksek surlarla çevrili Akliman şehir devleti kendi çağının en karmaşın dönemini yaşıyordu. Şehir iktidar muhalefet çatışmasıyla çalkalanırken polisler bir seri katili, istihbarat ajanları bir köstebeği, şehir surlarının dışında ise ağır zırhlı piyadeler bir haini kovalıyordu. Kader sarhoş bir örümceğin ağları gibidir; karmaşık ve birbirine bağlı. Hepsinin kaderi aynı ağda birleşen bir grup adam ve kadının karmaşık öyküsü.
The Politics of Anti-Westernism in Asia
In this rich intellectual history, Cemil Aydin challenges the notion that anti-Westernism in modern Asia is a political and religious reaction to the liberal and democratic values of the West. Nor is anti-Westernism a natural response to Western imperialism. Instead, by focusing on the agency and achievements of non-Western intellectuals, Aydin demonstrates that modern anti-Western discourse grew out of the legitimacy crisis of a single, Eurocentric global polity in the age of high imperialism. Aydin compares Ottoman pan-Islamic and Japanese pan-Asian visions of world order from the middle of the nineteenth century to the end of World War II. He looks at when the idea of a universal "West" f...
