Many poor countries have accepted these deadly imports but are ill equipped to manage the materials safely. For more than a decade, environmentalists and the governments of developing countries have lobbied intensively and generated public outcry in an attempt to halt hazardous transfers from Northern industrialized nations to the Third World, but the practice continues. In her insightful and important book, Jennifer Clapp addresses this alarming problem.  Tortured Confessions: Prisons and Public Recantations in Modern Iran By Ervand Abrahamian 1999 | 284 Pages | ISBN: 0520216237 | EPUB | 3 MB The role of torture in recent Iranian politics is the subject of Ervand Abrahamian's important and disturbing book. Although Iran officially banned torture in the early twentieth century, Abrahamian provides documentation of its use under the Shahs and of the widespread utilization of torture and public confession under the Islamic Republican governments. His study is based on an extensive body of material, including Amnesty International reports, prison literature, and victims' accounts that together give the book a chilling immediacy.According to human rights organizations, Iran has been at the forefront of countries using systematic physical torture in recent years, especially for political prisoners. Is the government's goal to ensure social discipline? To obtain information? Neither seem likely, because torture is kept secret and victims are brutalized until something other than information is obtained: a public confession and ideological recantation. For the victim, whose honor, reputation, and self-respect are destroyed, the act is a form of suicide.In Iran a subject's "voluntary confession" reaches a huge audience via television. The accessibility of television and use of videotape have made such confessions a primary propaganda tool, says Abrahamian, and because torture is hidden from the public, the victim's confession appears to be self-motivated, increasing its value to the authorities.Abrahamian compares Iran's public recantations to campaigns in Maoist China, Stalinist Russia, and the religious inquisitions of early modern Europe, citing the eerie resemblance in format, language, and imagery. Designed to win the hearts and minds of the masses, such public confessionsnow enhanced by technologycontinue as a means to legitimize those in power and to demonize "the enemy."  Sumedha Bhandari, "Toni Morrison's Art. A Humanistic Exploration of The Bluest Eye and Beloved" English | ISBN: 3960671180 | 2017 | 100 pages | PDF | 676 KB Toni Morrison, the eighth American to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, is perhaps the most formally sophisticated novelist in the history of African-American literature. Astutely, she describes aspects of human lives and, unlike many other writers, reveals the hope and beauty that underlines the worlds ugliness. Her artistic excellence lies in achieving a perfect balance between black literature and writing abouth the universally truth. Although firmly grounded in the cultural heritage and social concerns of black Americans, her work transcends narrowly prescribed conceptions of ethnic literature, exhibiting universal mythical patterns and overtones. Her novels, thus, mourn on universal concerns. The endeavor in this study is to scrutinize the unspoken lexis of Toni Morrison's works and to unveil the layers of humanistic concerns that provide denotations to her words. Earlier studies on this writer have concentrated on adjudging her as a writer addressing problems of black people. However, this book tries to extend this notion to encompass the problems of whole human community by assimilating blacks in the general drama of life. Before dyeing the strings of Morrison's novels with the colour of humanist concerns, this book delineates the term 'Humanism' from which these humanistic concerns arise.  Jaclyn Pryor, "Time Slips: Queer Temporalities, Contemporary Performance, and the Hole of History" English | 2017 | ISBN: 0810135302, 0810135310 | PDF | pages: 201 | 10.3 mb This bold book investigates how performance can transform the way people perceive trauma and memory, time and history. Jaclyn I. Pryor introduces the concept of "time slips,"moments in which past, present, and future coincide, moments that challenge American narratives of racial and sexual citizenship.  Colleen Jones, "Throwing Rocks at Houses: My Life in and out of Curling" English | ISBN: 0670068195 | 2015 | 256 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Canada's greatest curling champion opens up about her extraordinary career and life In every sport there is one name that stands above all others. In curling, there can be none other than Colleen Jones. When the sport was still developing, Colleen was pioneering the kind of play and dedication that would propel the sport forward. She was only nineteen years old when she won her first provincial championship, and she became the youngest skip, at age twenty-two, ever to win the Canadian women's curling championship: the Tournament of Hearts. She went on to win it a total of six times, with an unprecedented four in a row in the early 2000s. With her two world championships in the same timeframe, no other competitor has matched her record. In "Throwing Rocks at Houses," Colleen Jones discusses her start in curling and her remarkable career-from the pure joy of the game for a large family in Halifax to outworking her competition through will and resilience. But as a successful broadcaster  Brian D.

Dayton, "Theological Roots of Pentecostalism" English | 1987 | ISBN: 0801046041, 0810820374 | PDF | pages: 202 | 8.4 mb Pentecostalism is one of the most dynamic forces in twentieth-century Christianity.
