 P. James Paligutan, "Lured by the American Dream: Filipino Servants in the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard, 1952-1970 " English | ISBN: 0252044592 | 2022 | 216 pages | EPUB | 3 MB Starting in 1952, the United States Navy and Coast Guard actively recruited Filipino men to serve as stewards-domestic servants for officers. Oral histories and detailed archival research inform P. James Paligutan's story of the critical role played by Filipino sailors in putting an end to race-based military policies. Constrained by systemic exploitation, Filipino stewards responded with direct complaints to flag officers and chaplains, rating transfer requests that flooded the bureaucracy, and refusals to work. Their actions had a decisive impact on seagoing military's elimination of the antiquated steward position. Paligutan looks at these Filipino sailors as agents of change while examining the military system through the lens of white supremacy, racist perceptions of Asian males, and the motives of Filipinos who joined the armed forces of the power that had colonized their nation.

Love, Sex & Marriage in the Middle Ages: A Sourcebook By Conor McCarthy (editor) 2022 | 338 Pages | ISBN: 0367706571 | PDF | 13 MB This updated edition collects an extensive range of evidence for how people in the European Middle Ages thought about the emotional state of love, the physical act of sex, and the social institution of marriage.Included are extracts from literary and theological works, medical and legal writings, conduct books, chronicles, and letters. These texts discuss married couples who are not having sex, and unmarried ones who are. We encounter marriages for creating alliances, marriages for love, and promises of marriage made in the hope of obtaining sex. Learned texts discuss the etymology of sexual terms and the medical causes of difficulties in conceiving. There are accounts of clandestine marriages, sexual violence, the madness of love-melancholy, and much more. By drawing on diverse voices and presenting less accessible material, this sourcebook provides a nuanced view of how medieval people thought about these subjects and questions the similarities and differences between their perspectives and our own.With an expanded range of texts, wider geographical scope, suggestions for further reading, and updated explanatory material to reflect changes in scholarship in over two decades, this edition is an invaluable resource for students interested in sexuality, gender, and relationships in the Middle Ages.  Lost Nationalism: Revolution, Memory and Anti-colonial Resistance in Sudan (Eastern Africa Series) By Elena Vezzadini 2015 | 333 Pages | ISBN: 1847011152 | PDF | 15 MB The 1924 Revolution was a watershed in Sudanese history, the first episode of anti-colonial resistance in which a nationalist ideology was explicitly used, and part of a global wave of anti-colonial movements after the First WorldWar that can be seen as the "spring of the colonial nations".This detailed account of the uprising, and its eventual failure, explores the cosmopolitan nationalism embraced by the White Flag League, the movement that sparked the revolution, and its ability to attract people from diverse origins, classes and professions. It examines the international genesis of the movement; the strategies put in place to spread it in different areas of Sudan and among different groups; the movement's inclusive ideology and its definition of the Sudanese nation, as well as the limitations to its inclusiveness; and the way in which this episode reveals deeper questions relating to origins, social hierarchies and power. The book also unravels the complex history of the memory of 1924, the politics of its representation and the underlying power struggles that saw 1924 largely lost from the historical record.ElenaVezzadini is a historian of modern Sudan affiliated to the Centre for Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies, University of Bergen, and Institut des Mondes Africains, Paris.Table of ContentsPrologueIntroduction: Nationalism and Memory, A Lost Revolution - PART 1: THE NATIONALIST MOVEMENT IN SUDAN 1919-1923: Transnational PerspectivesRethinking Nationalism in Colonial SudanThe Spring of the Colonial Nations - PART 2: THE REVOLUTION OF 1924: Organization of the Movement and its Spread to the ProvincesThe 1924 RevolutionThe White Flag League: The Structure of the Nationalist Movement1924 in Port Sudan and El Obeid - PART 3: IDEOLOGY AND STRATEGIES"The word is for the Nation alone": Telegrams, Petitions and Political WritingsA Community of Protestors: Symbols, Songs and Emotions - PART 4: THE 1924 PROTESTORS: Reconsidering Social Bonds after the First World WarThe Sociology of Colonial Education and the 1924 InsurgentsA Military Elite: the Army in the 1924 Revolution"I was very famous in suq al-'arabi": Nationalism and Sudanese WorkersConclusionEpilogue: The Colonial Gaze, History and the Archives  Losing Control?: Sovereignty in an Age of Globalization By Saskia Sassen 1996 | 128 Pages | ISBN: 0231106084 | EPUB + PDF | 35 MB What determines the flow of labor and capital in this new global information economy? Who has the capacity to coordinate this new system, to create some measure of order? What happens to territoriality and sovereignty, two fundamental principles of the modern state? And who gains rights and who loses rights? Losing Control? examines the rise of private transnational legal codes and supranational institutions, such as the World Trade Organization and universal human rights covenants, and shows that though sovereignty remains an important feature of the international system, it is no longer confined to the nation-state. Other actors gain rights and a kind of sovereignty by setting some of the rules that used to be within the exclusive domain of states. Saskia Sassen tracks the emergence and the making of the transformations that mark our world today, among which is the partial denationalizing of national territory. Two arenas in particular stand out in the new spatial and economic order by their capacity to set their own rules: the global capital market and the series of codes and institutions that have mushroomed into an international human rights regime. As Sassen shows, these two quasi-legal realms now have the power and legitimacy to demand action and accountability from national governments, with the ironic twist that both depend upon the state to enforce their goals. From the economic policy shifts forced by the Mexico debt crisis to the recurring battles over immigration and refugees around the world, Losing Control? incisively analyzes the events that have radically altered the landscape of governance in an era of increasing globalization.
