Histories of Fascism and Anti-Fascism in Australia
Histories of Fascism and Anti-Fascism in Australia provides a history of fascist movements and anti-fascist resistance in Australia over the past century. In recent years, the far right has become a resurgent force across the globe, resulting in populist parties securing electoral victories, social movements organising on the streets, and acts of right-wing terrorism. Australia has not been immune to this. However, this is not merely a recent phenomenon; it has a long history of fascist and far-right groups and individuals. These groups have attempted to situate themselves within the wider settler colonial political landscape, often portraying themselves as the inheritors of a violent and ex...
The Orange Economy
This manual has been designed and written with the purpose of introducing key concepts and areas of debate around the "creative economy", a valuable development opportunity that Latin America, the Caribbean and the world at large cannot afford to miss. The creative economy, which we call the "Orange Economy" in this book (you'll see why), encompasses the immense wealth of talent, intellectual property, interconnectedness, and, of course, cultural heritage of the Latin American and Caribbean region (and indeed, every region). At the end of this manual, you will have the knowledge base necessary to understand and explain what the Orange Economy is and why it is so important. You will also acquire the analytical tools needed to take better advantage of opportunities across the arts, heritage, media, and creative services.
Spies-C.I.A-Lies-Terrorist-Che Guevara
The reality of the propaganda Hero Che Guevara only came to light when I started to look for my birthparents. My first shock was, he was still alive! I met him, he was my father but everyone has to die sometime; he died on 1.1.2017. After sixteen years of research and many questions Che Guevara/Ciro Bustos could have answered. I found out how he was created into a propaganda hero. Visual evidence underlines how the fake was created.
Quick Fixes
Drugs are ubiquitous in the past and present of capitalist society. What can they tell us about our society and economy? Americans are in the midst of a world-historic drug binge. Opiates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, marijuana, antidepressants, antipsychotics—across the board, consumption has shot up in the 21st century. At the same time, the United States is home to the largest prison system in the world, justified in part by a now zombified “war” on drugs. How did we get here? Quick Fixes is a look at American society through the lens of its pharmacological crutches. Though particularly acute in recent decades, the contradiction between America’s passionate love and intense hatr...

'A devastating new account..Holland knows his stuff when it comes to military matters' Daily Mail, Book of the Week 'A superb account of the invasion that deserves immense praise.

Beyond Evidence
Drawing on conceptual debates in transitional justice and critical archival studies, as well as empirical cases from various countries around the world, the contributions in this book critically examine how archives are produced by and used in transitional justice processes such as tribunals, truth commissions and remembrance processes. This edited volume provides conceptual critiques of the transitional justice paradigm and innovations in providing a new lens on archival practices in transitional justice. In doing so it offers in-depth analyses of the relationship between archives and transitional justice in France, Colombia, Rwanda, South Africa and Northern-Ireland; it highlights truth co...
The War in the West: A New History
From Hitler's invasion of Russia, America's entry into the conflict and the devastating Thousand Bomber Raids over Germany, to the long grinding struggle in the deserts of North Africa and the crucial Battle of the Atlantic, the middle passage of the Second World War was all about turning back the Nazi tide. These catalytic moments would come to define the course of the war and its outcome. They encompass the most vicious fighting, the most hair-raising strategy and the most breathtaking bravery. Across the battlefronts on land, sea and air, to the streets, fields and factories of Britain, America, Africa and Europe, Holland shows, in his own dramatic and compelling style, how the fortunes of war were changed and what happened when the Allies were finally able to fight back . . . 'Impeccably researched and superbly written... Holland's fascinating sage offers a mixture of captivating new research and well-considered revisionism' Observer 'Exceptional... Holland's success is built in part on an engaging writing stule and in part on a genuinely fresh approach to events' Wall Street Journal 'The best of the new generation of WW2 historians' Sebastian Faulks
Il sogno anticomunista. Neofascisti italiani in America Latina (1977-1982)
A partire da una corposa documentazione proveniente da Cile, Argentina, Paraguay, Stati Uniti e Italia, questo volume si propone di far luce sulle relazioni intercorse tra le ultime dittature militari latinoamericane e i militanti di Ordine Nuovo e Avanguardia Nazionale, principali sigle del neofascismo italiano nonché maggiori responsabili della strategia della tensione.

Attraverso un’analisi complessiva, questo volume tenta di dimostrare come non sia possibile considerare la migrazione...

Ciudades Inclusivas; Inclusive Cities
Las mujeres que residen en ciudades de América Latina y el Caribe cuentan con acceso a mejores niveles de ingresos que aquellas que residen en áreas rurales. Sin embargo, estos niveles están todavía por debajo de los hombres que residen en áreas urbanas. Además, varios de los servicios de las ciudades, como los recorridos de transporte público, no atienden adecuadamente las necesidades de las mujeres que las habitan, principalmente en aquellos casos en que realizan tareas familiares y del cuidado del hogar; al tiempo que la gran mayoría de las mujeres expresan sentirse inseguras en el transporte público.
