Book excerpt: Dakar is scared. When her family left East Africa to spend a year or two in Cottonwood, North Dakota, Dakar's older sister, Jakarta, was adamant about staying behind. Now Jakarta is all by herself in Kenya...and she's missing. It's terrible to go through life cringing, sure that at any minute a blow is going to come from somewhere. Dakar doesn't want to worry, but she can't help it. What if Jakarta was in the middle of a Nairobi bombing? What if Mom gets caught by hoodies and forced back into that place when Jakarta isn't even there to help? What if Dad decides to go off to save lives and is seized by some mysterious disease? If Dakar were able to do three really brave things, would that be enough to keep her family together? Almost everything in Cottonwood, North Dakota, requires bravery from a girl who has grown up in Kenya, Ethiopia, Egypt, and Senegal. The possibility of a new friend, navigating a new school, and preparing for snow—the first Dakar will ever see—is the least of it. Jakarta is missing...when she's home and when she's not. And for Jakarta, Dakar will battle the universe.

Book excerpt: 2013 Outstanding Book Award Winner from the Division of International Criminology, American Society of Criminology Every year, thousands of Chinese women travel to Asia and the United States in order to engage in commercial sex work. In Selling Sex Overseas, Ko-lin Chin and James Finckenauer challenge the current sex trafficking paradigm that considers all sex workers as victims, or sexual slaves, and as unwilling participants in the world of commercial sex. Bringing to life an on-the-ground portrait of this usually hidden world, Chin and Finckenauer provide a detailed look at all of its participants: sex workers, pimps, agents, mommies, escort agency owners, brothel owners, and drivers. Ultimately, they probe the social, economic, and political organization of prostitution and sex trafficking, contradicting many of the ‘moral crusaders’ of the human trafficking world.

This book was released on 2024-07-03 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "He promised them miracles. They never knew they'd become part of his dark ritual." In the lush sugarcane fields of North Sumatra, Indonesia, a respected spiritual leader harbored a chilling secret. For over a decade, Ahmad Suradji, known to his community as a powerful dukun or shaman, lured 42 women to their deaths under the guise of performing sacred rituals. His victims, ranging from young students to successful professionals, all shared a common desire - the hope for a better life through mystical intervention. Little did they know that their search for enlightenment would lead them into the hands of one of Indonesia's most notorious serial killers. "The Sugarcane Killer: Unmasking Indonesia's Ahmad Suradji and His 42 Victims" delves deep into the heart of this horrifying case that shook the nation to its core. From the bustling streets of Medan to the quiet fields that became unmarked graves, this meticulously researched account traces Suradji's transformation from a respected spiritual figure to a cold-blooded murderer. Drawing on extensive interviews, court documents, and psychological profiles, the book paints a vivid picture of a community caught between ancient beliefs and modern aspirations. It explores how Suradji exploited deeply rooted superstitions and the desperation of those seeking supernatural solutions to life's problems. Through the voices of survivors, victims' families, and the detectives who finally brought him to justice, readers will experience the terror that gripped Medan for years and the relief that came with Suradji's capture. But this is more than just a true crime narrative. It's a profound exploration of the dark side of faith, the power of cultural beliefs, and the vulnerability of those seeking hope in a rapidly changing world. The book challenges readers to confront uncomfortable questions about the nature of evil, the limits of cultural relativism, and the responsibility of society to protect its most vulnerable members. Key features of the book include: A detailed chronology of Suradji's crimes, from his first known victim in 1986 to his arrest in 1997 In-depth analysis of Suradji's background, including his claims of supernatural powers and the influence of traditional Javanese mysticism Exclusive interviews with law enforcement officials, including the lead detective who cracked the case Heart-wrenching accounts from the families of victims, providing a human face to the tragedy Exploration of the role of Suradji's three wives in his crimes, raising complex questions about culpability and coercion Examination of the trial that captivated the nation and the legal challenges of prosecuting crimes steeped in cultural beliefs Discussion of the long-term impact on Indonesian society, including changes in law enforcement practices and attitudes toward traditional healers "The Sugarcane Killer" is not just the story of a serial killer; it's a window into a society grappling with the tensions between tradition and modernity. It offers valuable insights into the psychology of both the perpetrator and his victims, shedding light on the universal human vulnerabilities that transcend cultural boundaries. This gripping account will appeal to true crime enthusiasts, cultural anthropologists, and anyone fascinated by the complex interplay between belief, power, and human nature. It serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of unquestioning faith and the importance of critical thinking in all aspects of life. Prepare to be shocked, moved, and ultimately enlightened by this unforgettable exploration of one of Indonesia's most haunting criminal cases.

Download or read book Infrastructures of Impunity written by Elizabeth F. Drexler and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Infrastructures of Impunity Elizabeth F. Drexler argues that the creation and persistence of impunity for the perpetrators of the Cold War Indonesian genocide (1965–66) is not only a legal status but also a cultural and social process. Impunity for the initial killings and for subsequent acts of political violence has many elements: bureaucratic, military, legal, political, educational, and affective. Although these elements do not always work at once—at times some are dormant while others are ascendant—together they can be described as a unified entity, a dynamic infrastructure, whose existence explains the persistence of impunity. For instance, truth telling, a first step in many responses to state violence, did not undermine the infrastructure but instead bent to it. Creative and artistic responses to revelations about the past, however, have begun to undermine the infrastructure by countering its temporality, affect, and social stigmatization and demonstrating its contingency and specific actions, policies, and processes that would begin to dismantle it. Drexler contends that an infrastructure of impunity could take hold in an established democracy.

Download or read book The Report Indonesia 2018 written by Oliver Cornock and published by Oxford Business Group. This book was released on 2018 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2018 the Indonesian economy recorded a growth rate of 5.2%, the highest in five years. This was in spite of a slump in the rupiah and a trade imbalance, and took place against a backdrop of rising US interest rates and deteriorating trade relations between the world’s two biggest economies. The country’s emphasis on industrialisation and infrastructure development is laying the foundations for continued economic growth. Moreover, the archipelago’s growing middle class population, geographical position and human capital development agenda, alongside progress in free-trade agreements, make it a strong contender on the global economic stage. The country holds considerable potential for developing entrepreneurial and creative prowess, already being home to four unicorn startups. Investors have continued to look beyond traditional destinations, with emerging cities like Surabaya and Palembang showing strong possibilities for economic growth. Although the outcome of the April 2019 national election will determine the course of further infrastructure development and tax reforms, the future looks promising, with predictions of continued growth accompanied by stable inflation.
