Download or read book Tropic of Chaos written by Christian Parenti and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2011-06-28 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Africa to Asia and Latin America, the era of climate wars has begun. Extreme weather is breeding banditry, humanitarian crisis, and state failure. In Tropic of Chaos, investigative journalist Christian Parenti travels along the front lines of this gathering catastrophe--the belt of economically and politically battered postcolonial nations and war zones girding the planet's midlatitudes. Here he finds failed states amid climatic disasters. But he also reveals the unsettling presence of Western military forces and explains how they see an opportunity in the crisis to prepare for open-ended global counterinsurgency. Parenti argues that this incipient "climate fascism" -- a political hardening of wealthy states-- is bound to fail. The struggling states of the developing world cannot be allowed to collapse, as they will take other nations down as well. Instead, we must work to meet the challenge of climate-driven violence with a very different set of sustainable economic and development policies.
Download or read book Terror in the Tropics written by Leslie Terebessy and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-07-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Warriors held a war room. They were preparing a blacklist of the "enemies" of Islam and gathering information about them, for example their addresses. I heard this from a person that actually attended the "war room." What do they plan to do with this information? Should not these people be banned from Chathouse? Should they be reported to the authorities? For the time being, if a person threatens me, I threaten him or her back. There was a fellow who was assuring me that, "We Muslims are required to wage jihad al-talab against non-Muslims." He underwent traditional Muslim education. I replied: "Brother, if you talk like that, you could be facing jail-time." He never showed his face in any of the rooms I held afterwards. Another time, a different person on Chathouse warned me of "consequence" for people like me. "Brother, I'd go easy if I were you. There is a wonderful resort reserved for people just like you. Have you ever heard of Guantanamo Bay?" An eerie silence followed. "People like you can get all expenses vacations there," I added. "I am not sure if they offer water skiing, but I heard they provide 'water-boarding.' Perhaps you would be interested in trying that?" That fellow also never returned to any of my rooms. Jabri obtained the particulars of the person he was to meet in Bangkok. This person would supply him with the explosives as well as a timing mechanism. Jabri walked along a dark lane, off Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok. He picked up the plastic explosives promised to him, and paid for them in cash. He returned to his hotel with his load. He walked past a road crew repairing s stretch of the road. It was hard work, with little pay. The sound of traffic was mixed with the smell of diesel and the rattling of a jackhammer used by the workers. It was a typical night in the city. The Boulevard is a restaurant and bar. It has yuppie clientele and plays trendy music. Upstairs there was an air-conditioned room where I would at times do my work. I reminisced about the past. Memories would take me back on the wings of the imagination to times long gone but not forgotten. What role does music play in my life? Traditional Muslims are taught that entertainment is forbidden. Traditional ulema taught that Muslims have the right to enter private residences and break the instruments used to play music. This is referred to as a part of hisba, commanding what is right and prohibiting what is wrong. I think a more suitable characterisation of breaking into a person's home would be home invasion. It is vigilantism. This is a flagrant defiance of the ruling in chapter 49 of the Quran. "Do not enter houses other than your own, until you have asked permission." To enter a dwelling requires greeting the persons inside and asking for permission to enter. To counsel otherwise is to flout the teaching of revelation. It is to practice extremism. Jabri went to the bar that evening with the explosives and a triggering fuse. Music was blasting from the speakers. At the sea, fireworks were in progress. "You will shortly experience bigger fireworks," Jabri thought to himself as he arrived at the bar and restaurant. Families were strolling on the street. There were a few foreigners with Thai wives. Jabri was planning to put an end to all this. He planned to plant the explosives in the washroom and trigger them with a timer, to allow himself time to escape. However, as he was about to mount the stairs to the upper floor, he was jumped by three undercover agents lurking in the shadows. He was wrestled to the floor and handcuffed. Then he was handed to the Thai police, on standby nearby. They bundled Jabri into a pick-up truck and took him away.
Download or read book Terror and Taboo written by Joseba Zulaika and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terror and Taboo is about the mythology of terrorism; it is an exploration of the ways we talk about terrorism. It offers incontestable evidence to support the idea that we give power to terrorism by the way we write and talk about it. According to Zulaika and Douglass, we make terrorism worse by the way we represent it in the media and in everyday conversation. Through their examination of terrorism, they propose to remove the taboos surrounding terrorism. Terror and Taboo is full of examples to ground the authors premise, ranging from specific examples, such as tendency to talk more about where Timothy McVeigh shopped for weapons than about the international traffic in arms by legitimate nations, to more theoretical interpretations that will be familiar to readers of cultural studies books.

Download or read book Queer in the Tropics written by Pedro Paulo Gomes Pereira and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to reflect on how to translate “queer” in the context of Latin America. Queer theory is becoming consolidated on an international scale as an effort to understand dissident bodies and their inventions. But how can we utilize such a rich body of literature and proposals without merely applying in the Global South what has been formulated in the Global North? Through meetings between dissident bodies in the Global South, the book suggests that the theoretical-poetic inventions formulated in this part of the world cannot be forgotten and proposes a discussion on how to approach queer theory from a decolonial point of view. There is still only a scant body of literature that systematizes and approaches these questions from a Latin American point of view; or, to use the term that gives this book its name, the “tropics.” The book points out the necessity of staying aware of the connections between western modernity and colonial practices. The book therefore invites us to pass through borders, to question limits, and to allow ourselves to be affected by Others, a fundamental exercise in the context of social inequality as drastic as that in which the majority of the population live in Latin America and in the Global South in general. Theories, like bodies, travel; in being translated, they transform themselves. The movements and the bending of bodies and theories are disturbing and subversive. Queer in the Tropics arises from these translations, from this bending, and from these subversions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In counterterrorism circles, the standard response to questions about the possibility of future attacks is the terse one-liner: “Not if, but when.” This mantra supposedly conveys a realistic approach to the problem, but, as Joseba Zulaika argues in Terrorism, it functions as a self-fulfilling prophecy. By distorting reality to fit their own worldview, the architects of the War on Terror prompt the behavior they seek to prevent—a twisted logic that has already played out horrifically in Iraq. In short, Zulaika contends, counterterrorism has become pivotal in promoting terrorism. Exploring the blind spots of counterterrorist doctrine, Zulaika takes readers on a remarkable intellectual journey. He contrasts the psychological insight of Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood with The 9/11 Commission Report, plumbs the mindset of terrorists in works by Orianna Fallaci and Jean Genet, maps the continuities between the cold war and the fight against terrorism, and analyzes the case of a Basque terrorist who tried to return to civilian life. Zulaika’s argument is powerful, inventive, and rich with insights and ideas that provide a new and sophisticated perspective on the War on Terror.
