Resonant Violence
Author: Kerry WhighamPublisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 1978825579
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
From the Holocaust in Europe to the military dictatorships of Latin America to the enduring violence of settler colonialism around the world, genocide has been a defining experience of far too many societies. In many cases, the damaging legacies of genocide lead to continued violence and social divisions for decades. In others, however, creative responses to this identity-based violence emerge from the grassroots, contributing to widespread social and political transformation. Resonant Violence explores both the enduring impacts of genocidal violence and the varied ways in which states and grassroots collectives respond to and transform this violence through memory practices and grassroots activism. By calling upon lessons from Germany, Poland, Argentina, and the Indigenous United States, Resonant Violence demonstrates how ordinary individuals come together to engage with a violent past to pave the way for a less violent future.
Castrochavism

Pages : 224
Book Description
The commitment of Carlos Sánchez Berzaín with democracy, law and institutionalism in Latin America have made him the most effective and devastating hammer against this kind of regimes that he encompasses under the category of "dictatorships of the 21st century".In this book you will find articles and essays in which he dissects and denounces the abuses of modern dictators: the evolution of the exercise of tyranny that has changed military uniforms for sportswear; the violent and armed pronouncement by populism, and deception to voters, all with the aim of perpetuating themselves in power at the expense of anything, including the commission of crimes typical of the Sicilian mafia. The killing of the separation of powers, the decapitation of Montesquieu, is now taking place --named Lula, Maduro, Morales, Ortega or Correa, always under the guidance of someone whose last name is Castro.I make public the wish that one day Sánchez Berzaín can return to his native Bolivia to take the place that a fighter for democracy deserves. Until that day arrives, let's enjoy your writings and reflections.-Manuel Aguilera, HispanoPost.com
