Download or read book Contesting Realities written by Susanne Dahlgren and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-23 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a resident of Aden for more than three years spanning the late years of Marxist South Yemen, Dahlgren presents the reader with an intimate portrait of Yemeni men and women in the home, in the factory, in the office, and in the street, demonstrating that Islamic societies must be understood through a multiplicity of social spheres and morality orders. Within each space, she examines the range of legal, political, religious, and social regulations that frame gender relations and social dynamics. Highlighting the diversity of women’s and men’s positions as a continuum rather than as distinct areas, Dahlgren presents a vivid picture of this dynamic society, providing an in-depth background to today’s political upheavals in Yemen.

Book Revolution and Foreign Policy

Download or read book Revolution and Foreign Policy written by Fred Halliday and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-04-04 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of the foreign policy of South Yemen, the most radical of Arab states, from the time of its independence from Britain in 1967 until 1987. It covers relations with the west, including the USA, and with the USSR and China, and also highlights South Yemen's conflicts with its neighbours, North Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Oman. The author provides a detailed analysis of the foreign relations of one of the USSR's closest allies in the Third World and shows how conflicts within the country relate to changes in foreign policy. South Yemen has traditionally not been an easy country to study, both because it is so secretive and because the revolutionary regime still arouses such strong passions. Professor Halliday was able to visit the country and to make an outstandingly thorough study of the foreign policy of an Arab state.

Book Citizens of Nowhere

Download or read book Citizens of Nowhere written by Debi Goodwin and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2011-06-21 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inspiring story of courage, adaptation and determinaton — a year in the life of 11 refugee students entering universities across Canada. "Most journalists have stories they never forget. This is mine." When Debi Goodwin travelled to the Dadaab Refugee Camp in 2007 to shoot a documentary on young Somali refugees soon coming to Canada, she did not anticipate the impact the journey would have on her. A year later, in August of 2008, she decided to embark upon a new journey, starting in the overcrowded refugee camps in Kenya, and ending in university campuses across Canada. For a year, she recorded the lives of eleven very lucky refugee students who had received coveted scholarships from Canadian universities, guaranteeing them both a spot in the student body and permanent residency in Canada. We meet them in the overcrowded confines of a Kenyan refugee camp and track them all the way through a year of dramatic and sometimes traumatic adjustments to new life in a foreign country called Canada. This is a snapshot of a refugee's first year in Canada, in particular a snapshot of young men and women lucky and smart enough to earn their passage from refugee camp to Canadian campus.

They claim to be in search of an ancient sword whose power is the key to bringing peace to their war torn kingdom. Princess Elizabeth and Lord Edric agree to help them, but matters become complicated when they learn that their guests are at war with a human kingdom that has ties to Elnara's neighbor, the Kingdom of Kellmorgen.

Book Yemen Chronicle

  • Author : Steven C. Caton
  • Publisher : Hill and Wang
  • Release : 2006-10-03
  • ISBN : 1466807733
  • Pages : 354 pages

Download or read book Yemen Chronicle written by Steven C. Caton and published by Hill and Wang. This book was released on 2006-10-03 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A report like no other from the heart of the Arab Middle East In 1979, Steven C. Caton went to a remote area of Yemen to do fieldwork on the famous oral poetry of its tribes. The recent hostage crisis in Iran made life perilous for a young American in the Middle East; worse, he was soon embroiled in a dangerous local conflict. Yemen Chronicle is Caton's touchingly candid acount of the extraordinary events that ensued. One day a neighboring sheikh came angrily to the sanctuary village where Caton lived, claiming that a man there had abducted his daughter and another girl. This was cause for war, and even though the culprit was captured and mediation efforts launched, tribal hostilities simmered for months. A man who was helping to resolve the dispute befriended Caton, showing him how the poems recited by the belligerents were connected to larger Arab conflicts and giving him refuge when the sanctuary was attacked. Then, unexpectedly, Caton himself was arrested and jailed for being an American spy. It was 2001 before Caton could return toYemen to untangle the story of why he had been imprisoned and what had happened to the missing girls. Placing his contradictory experiences in their full context, Yemen Chronicle is not only an invaluable assessment of classical ethnographic procedures but also a profound meditation on the political, cultural, and sexual components of modern Arab culture.

،تبلورت لدينا فكرة القيام بإعداد وتنظيم وأصدار (الأعمال الكاملة للبروفيسور عبد العزيز صالح بن حبتور ) وذلك باعتبارها تمثل دائرة علوم ومعارف متخصصة، تحتوي على جميع الكتب والدراسات والمقالات والخطابات والمقابلات واليوميات، الخاصة بالبروفيسور عبدالعزيز صالح بن حبتور، والتي تتناول كافة القضايا والموضوعات، (السياسية والاقتصادية والاجتماعية والعلمية والثقافية والإنسانية....الخ)، ذات الصلة الوثيقة

والتي فرضت نفسها على أرض الواقع اليمني بصورة قوية وجلية. ومن المعلوم حق العلم، أن البروفيسور عبد العزيز صالح بن حبتور، يعد من أهم أقطاب الوطن اليمني الواحد، ومن أعظم رموزه التاريخية، وأعلامه العملاقة، وكنوزه الغالية، وذلك بإقرار السواد الأعظم، من أبناء بلادنا اليمن، وسائر أبنا الأمة العربية والإسلامية الواحدة. ومواكبة لهذا الفهم والإدراك، يمكن القول، بأن (الأعمال الكاملة للبروفيسور عبدالعزيز صالح بن حبتور)، تحتوي على الأهداف والغايات التالية:- 1. استعراض مجموعة الكتب والدراسات العلمية والثقافية، الخاصة بالبروفيسور عبدالعزيز صالح بن حبتور، والتي تتمتع بمكانة مرموقة، وأهمية عالية، وسمعة كبيرة، على كافة المستويات المحلية والعربية والإسلامية. 2. استشراق مجموعة المقالات والخطابات والمقابلات واليوميات، المتعلقة بالبروفيسور عبدالعزيز صالح بن حبتور، والتي تختص بالشؤون (السياسية والاقتصادية والاجتماعية والعلمية والثقافية والإنسانية)، وتختزن في طياتها قضايا أحداث التاريخ اليمني المعاصر والحديث وتطوراته المتواصلة والمتوالية. 3. شرح الاحداث والتطورات المرعبة ،التي شهدتها بلادنا اليمن ، منذ 26مارس 2015م, وحتى اليوم (2019)، في ظل العدوان (السعودي – الاماراتي – الامريكي ) الغاشم عليها ، والذي ادى إلى الحاقها بأفدح الخسائر البشرية والمادية الجسيمة ،وجعل منها افقر دولة في العالم اجمع. 4. حشد كافة القوى الوطنية الحية ، وكافة الجماهير الشعبية الغفيرة ، وتحريكها لمواجهة القوى (السعودية والإماراتية والامريكية ) المعادية ،وتحرير الاراضي اليمنية المحتلة (في الجنوب)، وتخليصها من الوجود الاجنبي ، الجاثم على صدرها في الوقت الراهن . 5. تنوير مصابيح الوعي الوطني والعربي والإسلامي والدولي ،وتغذيته برصيد المعلومات والبيانات المتعلقة بالجرائم الوحشية ، والانتهاكات المروعة ، التي ارتكبتها دول العدوان (السعودي الاماراتي الامريكي) ضد بلادنا اليمن. 6. حمل لواء القضية اليمنية الكبرى ، المتمثلة بقضية (عاصفة العدوان على بلادنا اليمن) ،وشرح اهدافها وجرائمها الوحشية ،على كافة المستويات العربية والإسلامية والدولية والإنسانية . 7. تحليل وتقييم مواقف الدول العربية والإسلامية والأجنبية ،ومواقف الاتحادات والمنظمات الإقليمية والدولية ، تجاه العدوان (السعودي – الإماراتي – الامريكي ) البربري الحاقد ، على بلادنا اليمن . 8. حشد وتعبئة الرأي العام العربي والإسلامي والدولي ، وتركيز محاورة الجوهرية ، في مجال مقاومة العدوان (السعودي – الاماراتي – الامريكي ) الغادر ،تجاه بلادنا اليمن ، واحباطه وافشاله . 9. احياء المجتمع اليمني الواحد ، واستنهاضه من كبوته الراهنة ، وتكوين ارادته العامة ، ورفع روحه المعنوية ،وتنشيط ذاكرته التأريخية ،ومن ثم توجيهه لبناء العصر اليمني الجديد ، عصر الحوار والمصالحة والسلام ،عصر البناء والوحدة والنهضة ،عصر الرخاء والعطاء والازدهار العظيم . 10. انعاش الاوضاع الثقافية الوطنية ، التي اكتوت بنيران عاصفة العدوان على بلادنا اليمن ، والعمل على تطويرها وتغذيتها بالاعمال الموسوعية الجديدة ،والتي تمثل لسان حال المجتمع اليمني الواحد ، وموئل تطلعاته المستقبلية العملاقة. 11. بناء الاجيال اليمنية والعربية والاسلامية الطالعة ، وتنويرها بأنوار العلم والفكر والمعرفة المشرقة ، وتوجيهها لبناء مستقبلها الوعد ، وصنع تاريخها الجديد ، في عالم الغد . 12. إثراء المكتبات (الخاصة والعامة ) في الوطن العربي والعالم الاسلامي، وتزويدها بمجموعة من الأعمال الفكرية الرائدة ،التي تتمتع بروح البحث العلمي الرصين ، وتعنى بتلبية رغبات الجماهير اليمنية والعربية والإسلامية ، وتعمل على مسايرة ثورة المعلومات والاتصالات العالمية الحديثة، ومواكبة إنجازاتها العلمية والتكنولوجية العملاقة . ولعله من الواضح في هذا المقام، إن الحروب والصراعات والأزمات المتفجرة، التي شهدتها بلادنا اليمن، منذ عام 2011م وحتى اليوم، آدت بدورها إلى تعطيل الحركة العلمية والثقافية في البلاد، وإصابتها بالشلل التام، وذلك نتيجة لتدهور الأوضاع الاقتصادية، وغياب الإصدارات الجديدة، وإغلاق عدد من المكتبات العام في البلاد. ومن هنا يمكن القول، بان (الأعمال الكاملة للبروفيسور عبدالعزيز صالح بن حبتور)، سوف تساهم مساهمة فعلية وحقيقية، في مجال استنهاض الأوضاع العلمية والثقافية في بلادنا، وإعادة الحياة إليها من جديد، والارتقاء بها إلى مصاف تحديات العصر اليمني الجديد، وأفاق تحولاته المستقبلية الكبرى. **** أسأل الله – جل جلاله- أن ينفع بهذا العمل، جميع الدارسين والأكاديميين والمثقفين والمهتمين في بلادنـا اليمن، وفي جميع الدول العربية والإسلامية، أنه على كل شيء قدير. والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته عبدالرحمن سلطــان رئيس مؤسسة المستقبل الدولي

Book excerpt: A candid, darkly comic, and emotionally naked tale of a former NPR journalist who—driven by grief, loss, and the desire to find his “tribe”—seeks solace in the world’s most dangerous places and his pursuit to join the ranks of combat-tested war correspondents. The learning curve of reporting in hostile environments is steep and at times comical, at others nearly fatal.

When the assignment ends, he is left to confront the mental and emotional impact of the years of danger, death, and destruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whitaker's Britain draws on an extensive archive which dates back to 1868 when Joseph Whitaker first published Whitaker's Almanack. With its combination of facts, figures and commentary on subjects as diverse as politics, finance, royalty and astronomy, Whitaker's Almanack was such an unprecedented success that it had to be reprinted immediately and is still published annually today. Whitaker's archive provides a unique window into a fascinating world. Old editions are extraordinary cultural and social artefacts, offering a real historical insight of all the major historical events from the last century-and-a-half as they were recorded at the time. Whitaker's Britain includes detailed digests of historical events, extensive information on the British Empire and the Royal Family plus annual summaries, written at the time, on subjects as wide-ranging as 'Science and Invention', 'The Weather' and 'The Royal House'. There is also an 8-page colour insert of brand new infographics, using re-formatted data from the original editions to give a comparative history across the decades, and a selection of truly remarkable advertisements, reproduced in their original form.
