Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sebrina looks at Josh as he stands in front of her. She knows what he is going to say. She knows he will reject her for her more beautiful blond twin sister. She and Leona can not be more different, and everyone can not believe they are twins. Her parents always loved Leona more than her as she had red hair and green eyes and freckles, while Leona was the pretty one with blond hair, blue eyes and perfect skin. Sebrina has learned not to ask her parents for love and attention from a young age as all their love and attention went to the cute child. They ignored her like she did not exist. It made Sebrina push people away from her, and that is why she is standing here in front of Josh, her mate waiting for him to reject her. It is not uncommon for twins to have the same mate. It happened before. Sebrina being the rebel she is, smiles as she waits for Josh's words. "I, Josh Norton, future alpha of the Red Wood Pack, reject you, Sebrina Dawson, as my mate," Josh says. Everything inside Sebrina feels like it is dying a slow death, her wolf is whimpering, but she quiets her down. "I, Sebrina Dawson, accept your rejection, future alpha of the Red Wood Pack. I hope you and Leona will be happy," Sebrina says with a sarcastic smile on her face. She knows her sister, and she knows she is spoiled rotten. "You are just going to accept it like that?" Leona asks from the side. Sebrina knows her sister wants a fight, but she will not give her the satisfaction. Sebrina looks at Leona as smiles. "Best of luck to the two of you," Sebrina says. My father is the beta to Josh's father, and Sebrina knows her life is not worth a dime after today. Leona will want her dead to make sure Josh stays hers forever and that he does not change his mind in the future. Sebrina knows she is risking her life to leave her pack, but going away or staying in the same for her. If she stays, she will die, but she might have a chance out there in the big evil world. So she runs away, not knowing what adventure waited for her and that she will meet her biggest nightmare—the Alpha of all Alphas, Blaze Walker and she have to run not only from her sister but also from Blaze.
Download or read book Moving Subjects Moving Objects written by Maruska Svasek and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most theories of material culture, transnationalism, and globalization have failed to incorporate a focus on emotions even though an increasing number of scholars in recent years have explored emotion-dense processes. This book fills the gap and examines how emotions can be theorized and serve as a useful analytical tool for understanding the interrelated mobility of humans, objects, and images. Through diverse, ethnographically rich and theoretically grounded case studies, these chapters offer new perspectives that relate migration, material culture, and emotions by addressing: the ways in which migrants and migrant artists express their emotions through objects and images in transnational contexts; the ways in which particular works of art, everyday objects, and artifacts evoke specific feelings in migrants and members of migrant communities; and the ways in which artists, academics, and policy makers may stimulate positive interaction between migrants and members of local communities. -- Provided by publisher.

Download or read book Undoing the Liberal World Order written by Leon Fink and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decades following World War II, American liberals had a vision for the world. Their ambitions would not stop at the water’s edge: progressive internationalism, they believed, could help peoples everywhere achieve democracy, prosperity, and freedom. Chastened in part by the failures of these grand aspirations, in recent years liberals and the Left have retreated from such idealism. Today, as a beleaguered United States confronts a series of crises, does the postwar liberal tradition offer any useful lessons for American engagement with the world? The historian Leon Fink examines key cases of progressive influence on postwar U.S. foreign policy, tracing the tension between liberal aspirations and the political realities that stymie them. From the reconstruction of post-Nazi West Germany to the struggle against apartheid, he shows how American liberals joined global allies in pursuit of an expansive political, social, and economic vision. Even as liberal internationalism brought such successes to the world, it also stumbled against domestic politics or was blind to the contradictions in capitalist development and the power of competing nationalist identities. A diplomatic history that emphasizes the roles of social class, labor movements, race, and grassroots activism, Undoing the Liberal World Order suggests new directions for a progressive American foreign policy.

Book excerpt: Throughout the course of history, freedom fighters have been many and varied as have the motivations and the successes of the revolutions they attempted and inspired. Whether their beliefs were correct or misplaced, the courage to fight for the cause has always been the common denominator. They stood alone frequently in the face of enormous adversity and attempted to change the face of the world around them. Freedom Fighters is a record of inspirational, courageous, determined, and sometimes very dangerous people, and the places they secured for themselves in history.

Download or read book From Freedom Fighters to Jihadists written by Vera Mironova and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the start of the Syrian conflict in 2011, thousands of pro-democracy rebel groups spontaneously formed to fight the Assad regime. Years later, the revolution was unrecognizable as rebel opposition forces had merged into three major groups: Jabhat al-Nusra, Ahrar al Sham, and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Why did these three groups rapidly increase in size and military strength while others simply disappeared? What is it about their organizational structure and their Islamist ideology that helped group manage their fighters so successfully? With these questions at the forefront, this book examines the internal organization of armed groups and, in particular, their human resources. Analyzing the growth of these groups through the prism of a labor market theory, this book shows that extreme Islamist groups were able to attract fighters away from more moderate groups because they had better internal organization, took better care of fighters both physically and monetarily, experienced less internal corruption, and effectively used their Islamist ideology to control recruits. With unparalleled access and extensive ethnographic research drawn from her interviews and her year embedded with Iraqi Special Operation forces, Mironova delves deep into the ideological and practical nexus of some of the most radical groups in the Middle East. This book brings together more than 600 survey-interviews with local civilians and fighters on the frontline in Syria and a dataset of human resource policies from 40 armed groups; it is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants insight into the on the ground functioning of rebel organizations.
Download or read book Fervent Freedom Fighters written by Daniel Cosculluela and published by Max Milo. This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology brings to light the richness of the pamphleteer tradition in France, between the 16th and 20th centuries. Though satirists and pamphleteers have emerged out of various political backgrounds down through the centuries, what they have in common is irreverence, courage and insubordination to all forms of power. Among them: Blanqui, Bloy, Desmoulins, Libertad, Proudhon, Rivarol, Séverine Vallès and Zo d'Axa. At a time when freedom of expression is increasingly questioned, Daniel Cosculluela wanted to resurrect the fighting spirit of those who acted and wrote, often at the risk of their lives. Many of these fighters for freedom of speech and thought had to flee their countries to avoid prison or assassination. The author wanted to engage in a dialogue with those who live on through our thoughts, dreams and revolts. His choices are personal, but the writers selected have all played a major role in the movement of ideas which inspire, consciously or not, the commitment and the choises of millions of men and women today. Daniel Cosculluela is a psychiatrist and anthropologist, who has collaborated with several media, including the satirical newspaper Hara-kiri.
