Africa's World War
The Rwandan genocide sparked a horrific bloodbath that swept across sub-Saharan Africa, ultimately leading to the deaths of some four million people. In this extraordinary history of the recent wars in Central Africa, Gerard Prunier offers a gripping account of how one grisly episode laid the groundwork for a sweeping and disastrous upheaval. Prunier vividly describes the grisly aftermath of the Rwandan genocide, when some two million refugees--a third of Rwanda's population--fled to exile in Zaire in 1996. The new Rwandan regime then crossed into Zaire and attacked the refugees, slaughtering upwards of 400,000 people. The Rwandan forces then turned on Zaire's despotic President Mobutu and, ...

The ‘New Normal’ in Planning, Governance and Participation
This book offers a unique and timely contribution, informed by responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, to unpack the intertwined challenges that planning needs to cope with in the future. It argues that the pandemic and post-pandemic periods, in their successive waves of restrictions and social distancing, have disrupted ‘normal’ practices but have also contributed to shaping a ‘new normal’. The new normal is emerging, re-configuring, and prioritizing the substantive objects of planning and its governance and participatory processes. This book discusses this shift and presents a collection of episodes and cases from diverse European urban contexts to develop a new vocabulary for describing and addressing challenges, models, perspectives, and imaginaries that contribute to defining the new normal. The book is aimed at scholars interested in urban planning, sociology, geography, anthropology, art, economy, technology studies, design studies, and political science.

It became a litmus test for the fragile state of the continent as Africans were struggling to usher in a new era as the twentieth century drew to a close." --Book Jacket.

Italia criminale
Dall'autore del bestseller Roma criminale Dalla banda della Magliana a Felice Maniero e la mala del Brenta Li chiamano “duristi”, “bravi ragazzi” o, più semplicemente, rapinatori. Con le armi in pugno hanno sfidato le forze dell’ordine ma anche le logiche mafiose di controllo e sfruttamento del territorio. Qualcuno è rimasto un cane sciolto, altri si sono associati in batterie o in vere e proprie bande: quando sono scesi a patti con poteri ambigui hanno lasciato impronte sporche di sangue sui luoghi delle stragi. Testimonianza di un Paese ribelle e disperato, Italia criminale è un’indagine sui grandi nomi del banditismo contemporaneo. Da Salvatore Giuliano a Renato Vallanzasca...
