Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book offers an interdisciplinary qualitative study of the history of policing in Brazil and its colonial underpinnings, providing theoretical accounts of the relationship between biopolitics, space, and race, and post-colonial/decolonial work on the state, violence, and the production of disposable political subjects. Focused empirically on contemporary (1985-2015) police killings and disappearances in favelas, particularly in Rio de Janeiro, the books argues that the invisibility of this phenomenon is the product of a colonial mindset - one that has persisted throughout Brazil's experience of both dictatorship and re-democratisation and is traceable to the legacies of the Portuguese empire and the plantation system implemented. Analysing the development of the police as a colonial mechanism of social control, Villenave shows how the "war on drugs" reproduces this same colonial logic and renders some, overwhelmingly black, lives disposable and thus vulnerable to unchecked police brutality and death. It will be of interest to students and scholars of international politics and also contributes to critical security studies, postcolonial and de-colonial thought, global politics, the politics of Latin America and political geography"--

Download or read book 10 Most Mysterious Deaths in America XX Century written by Jin Schofield and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-01-27 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benjamin Franklin once said nothing in this world is set on stone but two things: death and taxes. Some evade taxpaying, but no one really gets to escape it completely. And the same goes with death. They are the two most inevitable difficulties one can encounter. Its burden is real and whether you are indirectly and directly affected, it has the capacity to bring you down. People die of different causes. When you ask someone how they want to die, many would say, "I want in my sleep. I want to when I am grey and old. I want to die in the time when I can say that I have my life." Of course that is the ideal setting for death; and people do not get to choose who they expire in this world. It happens. Some people are merely crossing the street, totally unaware that a speeding vehicle is oncoming and about to bring them to the grave. Some people find out too late, and they come face-to-face with death just as soon as they discover that they are terminally ill. Some people die too and it's unfortunate because even before they get to actually live, they discover they do not deserve it. In whatever context, death is sad-and then there's murder. Here is a preview of what you'll learn: - The Murder of Black Dahlia - The Splendid Cast of William Desmond Taylor's Murder - The Murder of 6-Year Old JonBenet Ramsey - The Disappearance and Death of Jimmy Hoffa - The Murder of the Grimes Sisters - The Murder of Amber Rene Hagerman - The Unsolved Mystery of Colonel Robert H.

Download or read book Lost in the Valley of Death written by Harley Rustad and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "By patient accumulation of anecdote and detail, Rustad evolves Shetler’s story into something much more human, and humanly tragic, into a layered inquisition and a reportorial force....suffice it to say Rustad has done what the best storytellers do: tried to track the story to its last twig and then stepped aside." —New York Times Book Review In the vein of Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild, a riveting work of narrative nonfiction centering on the unsolved disappearance of an American backpacker in India—one of at least two dozen tourists who have met a similar fate in the remote and storied Parvati Valley. For centuries, India has enthralled westerners looking for an exotic getaway, a brief immersion in yoga and meditation, or in rare cases, a true pilgrimage to find spiritual revelation. Justin Alexander Shetler, an inveterate traveler trained in wilderness survival, was one such seeker. In his early thirties Justin Alexander Shetler, quit his job at a tech startup and set out on a global journey: across the United States by motorcycle, then down to South America, and on to the Philippines, Thailand, and Nepal, in search of authentic experiences and meaningful encounters, while also documenting his travels on Instagram. His enigmatic character and magnetic personality gained him a devoted following who lived vicariously through his adventures. But the ever restless explorer was driven to pursue ever greater challenges, and greater risks, in what had become a personal quest—his own hero’s journey. In 2016, he made his way to the Parvati Valley, a remote and rugged corner of the Indian Himalayas steeped in mystical tradition yet shrouded in darkness and danger. There, he spent weeks studying under the guidance of a sadhu, an Indian holy man, living and meditating in a cave. At the end of August, accompanied by the sadhu, he set off on a “spiritual journey” to a holy lake—a journey from which he would never return. Lost in the Valley of Death is about one man’s search to find himself, in a country where for many westerners the path to spiritual enlightenment can prove fraught, even treacherous. But it is also a story about all of us and the ways, sometimes extreme, we seek fulfillment in life. Lost in the Valley of Death includes 16 pages of color photographs.

Download or read book Vanished in Vincennes written by David Boyer and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dolores Oliver, fondly nick-named 'Lert' by her friends as a term of endearment, was out an out-going and friendly woman who was well liked by all who knew her. Yet, on September 7, 1974, while on a visit to a local bar to chat with friends, she simply vanished without a trace. Foul play was immediately suspected by her family, who knew in their hearts that they could think of absolutely no one who would want to do her any harm. Yet her lifeless body was found at the end of October in a bean field by a farmer in Illinois. Lawrence County coroner Dale Nichols was able to make a positive ID through dental records and a ring Mrs Oliver was wearing. Who would have done such a thing, and why? Hopefully, VANISHED IN VINCENNES will help to finally solve one of the oldest cold cases in Indiana, and bring her family some closure they have sought for so long. Radio personality Paul Harvey once said, "If you want to get away with murder? Just go to Vincennes, Indiana." Sadly, in September of 1974, that comment rang true.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a journalist specializing in conspiracy theories, an examination of mysterious deaths and missing persons related to sightings of UFO phenomena. Everyone has heard of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. But what about close encounters of the fatal kind? The field of UFOs is rife with unsettling examples of suspicious deaths. Accounts of accidents that might not have been accidents after all, abound. Researchers and witnesses have vanished, never to be seen again. Conveniently timed heart attacks are reported. Out-of-the-blue suicides that, upon investigation, bear the distinct hallmarks of murder, are all too common. And grisly deaths at the hands of both extraterrestrials and government agents have occurred. Highlights of Close Encounters of the Fatal Kind include: The strange saga of the incredible melting man The UFO-related death of the first U.S. Secretary of Defense, James Forrestal The mysterious disappearances of military pilots and their connection to UFOs The connections between national security and the sudden deaths of UFO investigators Getting too close to the cosmic truth about alien abductions Roswell, and what the government really knows about UFOs can—clearly—be a deadly business The government’s latest admission of the existence of Area 51 is barely the tip of a very big iceberg.
