Making Sense of the Troubles
Author: David McKittrick
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1561310700
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
Compellingly written and even-handed in its judgments, this is by far the clearest account of what has happened through the years in the Northern Ireland conflict, and why. After a chapter of background on the period from 1921 to 1963, it covers the ensuing period--the descent into violence, the hunger strikes, the Anglo-Irish accord, the bombers in England--to the present shaky peace process. Behind the deluge of information and opinion about the conflict, there is a straightforward and gripping story. Mr. McKittrick and Mr. McVea tell that story clearly, concisely, and, above all, fairly, avoiding intricate detail in favor of narrative pace and accessible prose. They describe and explain a lethal but fascinating time in Northern Ireland's history, which brought not only death, injury, and destruction but enormous political and social change. They close on an optimistic note, convinced that while peace--if it comes--will always be imperfect, a corner has now been decisively turned. The book includes a detailed chronology, statistical tables, and a glossary of terms.

Making Sense of Youth Crime
Author: Jacqueline E. Ross
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1009364278
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
This comparative empirical study of policing in the United States and France draws on the authors' ten years of field work to contend that the police in both countries should be thought about as an amalgam of five distinct professional cultures or 'intelligence regimes'-each of which can be found in any given police department in both the United States and France. In particular, we contend that what police do as knowledge workers and how they make sense of the social problems such as collective offending by juveniles varies with the professional subcommunities or 'intelligence regimes' in which their particular knowledge work is embedded. The same problem can be looked at in fundamentally different ways even within a single police department, depending on the intelligence regime through which the problem is refracted.

Common Sense for The Twenty-First Century
Author: Blase Bonpane
Publisher: Red Hen Press
ISBN: 1597092142
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
A collection of George W. Bush–era observations and interviews from a former priest turned activist for peace—a Thomas Paine for modern times. Much of our current media makes us feel powerless and unconscious. These commentaries are designed to make us conscious and aware of the power we must build humane national and international polities. “Blase Bonpane is a true guerilla for peace, an exception to the rulers. From the occupation of Iraq to the war at home; from the coup in Haiti to the prisons of the U.S., Bonpane cuts through the lies to tell it like it is. For years, his commentaries have been broadcast over the airwaves of Pacifica station KPFK in Los Angeles. Today, in a world dominated by occupation, war and a crackdown on civil liberties and human rights, these commentaries become an essential counterbalance to the lies. Common Sense for the Twenty-First Century is evidence that the voices of the silenced majority can and must be heard.” —Amy Goodman, broadcast journalist, host of Democracy Now! “Tom Paine was a pamphleteer who proclaimed the need for revolution in 1776. Common Sense for the Twenty-First Century is based on the need for a moral revolution in our own time. This was the call made by Dr. Martin Luther King. This is the call today made by Blase Bonpane, who rejects the ancient tools of clubs, spears, guns and bombs, while promoting the non-violent tools of dialogue together with militant grass roots action. Blase believes firmly that we can have a future of international participatory democracy directed toward distributive justice.” —Martin Sheen, actor and activist

Making Sense of the Vietnam Wars
Author: Mark Philip Bradley
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198043023
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
Making sense of the wars for Vietnam has had a long history. The question "why Vietnam?" dominated American and Vietnamese political life for much of the length of the wars and has continued to be asked in the decades since they ended. This volume brings together the work of eleven scholars to examine the conceptual and methodological shifts that have marked the contested terrain of Vietnam War scholarship. Editors Marilyn Young and Mark Bradley's superb group of renowned contributors spans the generations--including those who were active during wartime, along with scholars conducting research in Vietnamese sources and uncovering new sources in the United States, former Soviet Union, China, and Eastern and Western Europe. Ranging in format from top-down reconsiderations of critical decision-making moments in Washington, Hanoi, and Saigon, to microhistories of the war that explore its meanings from the bottom up, these essays comprise the most up-to-date collection of scholarship on the controversial historiography of the Vietnam Wars.
