Download or read book The McNamara Years at the World Bank written by Robert S. McNamara and published by Baltimore : Published for the World Bank [by] the Johns Hopkins University Press. This book was released on 1981 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the thirteen years that Robert McNamara served as President of the World Bank, he transformed that institution into the worlds largest and most important single source of international development assistance. When he took office in 1968, the Bank was lending about a billion dollars a year. By 1980, that figure had grown to $12 billion. In his final year, this one development agency was supervising over 1,600 projects, with a total value of some $100 billion, in more than a hundred developing countries. Those are impressive statistics. But they do not reveal the full dimensions of Mr. McNamara's achievement. That becomes clear if one peruses what has now been collected together here for the first time in one volume: his major policy addresses as an international civil servant. In effect, this volume constitutes a careful, reasoned, and sometimes impassioned commentary on the human condition of late twentieth-century man-and what the international community can and ought to do about it.

Download or read book Identity Before Identity Politics written by Linda Nicholson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-11-20 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1960s identity politics emerged on the political landscape and challenged prevailing ideas about social justice. These politics brought forth a new attention to social identity, an attention that continues to divide people today. While previous studies have focused on the political movements of this period, they have neglected the conceptual prehistory of this political turn. Linda Nicholson's engaging book situates this critical moment in its historical framework, analyzing the concepts and traditions of racial and gender identity that can be traced back to late eighteenth-century Europe and America. She examines how changing ideas about social identity over the last several centuries both helped and hindered successive social movements, and explores the consequences of this historical legacy for the women's and black movements of the 1960s. This insightful study will be of particular interest to students and scholars of political history, identity politics and US history.

Download or read book Race Racism and Psychology written by Graham Richards and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Topics with racial implications have been hotly debated in the psychological literature for most of this century and are often in the news. Graham Richards takes a historical look at how the concepts of "race" and "racism" emerged within the discipline and charts the underlying premises of some famous studies in their social and political contexts. No-one is allowed to be objective in this arena, as opponents will always argue that they are not. This account is bound therefore to be controversial and excite interest whether or not readers agree with Richards' stance.
Download or read book The Great War written by John Morrow and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great War is a landmark history that firmly places the First World War in the context of imperialism. Set to overturn conventional accounts of what happened during this, the first truly international conflict, it extends the study of the First World War beyond the confines of Europe and the Western Front. By recounting the experiences of people from the colonies especially those brought into the war effort either as volunteers or through conscription, John Morrow's magisterial work also unveils the impact of the war in Asia, India and Africa. From the origins of World War One to its bloody (and largely unknown) aftermath, The Great War is distinguished by its long chronological coverage, first person battle and home front accounts, its pan European and global emphasis and the integration of cultural considerations with political.

Download or read book Autoethnography in Undergraduate Writing Courses written by Justin B. Hopkins and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Autoethnography in Undergraduate Writing Courses blends narrative and analysis in an engaging and applicable account of how the genre of autoethnography can be a valuable addition or alternative to traditional research assignments. Many writing teachers struggle to motivate and equip students to conduct meaningful and effective research. Practicing autoethnography-the scholarly combination of personal reflection, artistic representation, and social/cultural research-provides an opportunity for students to research and write about something that genuinely interests them: their own experiences. A genre of personal writing, autoethnography is comparable to pedagogy pioneered by expressivists like Donald Murray, Peter Elbow, and Wendy Bishop, among others. However, combining personal writing with research-as autoethnography does-is more rare. Some compositionists have already used autoethnography in their own research and teaching, but this book demonstrates why more compositionists should consider adopting autoethnography into their pedagogy. The author shares his own experience teaching autoethnography at the undergraduate level, modeling its potential and demonstrating its impact. Written in a lively, conversational voice, the book presents substantial qualitative research, including samples of student writing, supplemented by student interviews and surveys. These data indicate that practicing autoethnography can have unusually, if not uniquely, positive effects on students' lives. Specifically, the author identifies and illustrates eight outcomes of practicing autoethnography: increased reflexivity, improved research and writing skills, greater awareness of ethical issues, critical empowerment, therapeutic catharsis, enjoyment, and the development of a sense of community"--

Book excerpt: Cheney (ethnic studies, California Polytechnic State U.) considers the political expression of rap artists within the historical tradition of black nationalism. Interweaving songs and interviews with hip-hop artists and activists including Chuck D of Public Enemy and Rosa Clemente, manager of dead prez, Cheney links late 20th- century hip-hop nationalists with their 19th-century spiritual forebears and challenges the perception of hip-hop as simply sexist or misogynistic.
