After tracing settlers' sense of group superiority and entitlement to historical and ongoing colonial processes, Denis illustrates how contemporary Indigenous and settler residents think about and relate to one another. He highlights how, despite often having close cross-group relationships, residents maintain conflicting perspectives on land, culture, history, and treaties, and Indigenous residents frequently experience interpersonal and systemic racism. Denis then critically assesses the promise and pitfalls of commonly proposed solutions, including intergroup contact, education, apologies, and collective action, and concludes that genuine reconciliation will require radically restructuring Canadian society and perpetually fulfilling treaty responsibilities.

Lane 2014 | 142 Pages | ISBN: 9814519731 | PDF | 2 MB "Decentralization is a major trend in Indonesia since the first decades of that nation under Sukarno and Suharto.

Anyone who seeks insights into the current trend of decentralization, whether in Indonesia or other parts of the world, will find this work cogent." - James L. Peacock, Kenan Distinguished Professor, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "This book opens up the discussion on the history and political economy of the new populist policies that seem to gain momentum in the face of the Indonesian elections. It also addresses questions pertaining to the problems and options related to popular aspirations within this context - all of which cannot be explained very well by any of the predominant theses on Indonesia, whether as an oligarchy or a democratically liberal but economically predatory country." - Professor Olle Törnquist, University of Oslo  Deadly Hearts: History's Most Dangerous People by Michael Burgan English | December 27th, 2022 | ISBN: 0593386671 | 144 pages | True EPUB | 12.64 MB A visually dynamic companion to the biographical collection Dark Hearts, this collection of biographies details the cruel and often horrifying lives of history's most notorious - and deadly - people. ![Data Superstream Data Lakes and Warehouses 2023 [Video]](https://i121.fastpic.org/big/2023/0211/35/f055b76329d5af6e93631334f4983335.jpeg) Data Superstream: Data Lakes and Warehouses 2023 English | 2023 | h264, yuv420p, 1920x1080 | 48000 Hz, 2channels | Duration: 3h 24m | 381 MB The ability to store, process, and manage data in the cloud efficiently and cost-effectively is a must for working with today's enormous datasets.

The intention of this collection is to explore the cultural intersection between bodies, fashion, and transgression, often in the most unlikely of locations. Bodies are political players in culture and the authors gathered here ask a range of pressing questions. What role do fashioned bodies play in resistance, in meeting governmental boundaries or institutional power? Arguably, fashion is an aspect of modern warfare and style can defend and attack in cultural space. So, how do fashioned bodies occupy the grey area between social control and the resistance to power? This book is interdisciplinary and international, with contributors situated within a broad range of disciplines including Art History and Critical Practice, Cultural Studies, Fashion Critical Studies, Film and Literary Studies, Performance Studies, Politics and International Studies, Sociology, Gender, Queer, LGBTI, and Critical Race Studies. |
