An essential and up-to-date look at Boko Haram that examines the historical antecedents, events and personalities that shaped the movement's ideology and pivot towards violence.

Omeni A: The Making of Boko Haram

The Making of Boko Haram

An Essential History

The purpose of this book is to explore the major conceptual differences between classical and modern political philosophy and to understand how these differences have yielded competing conceptions of justice. If ancient and modern thinkers used a different set of constructs, definitions, and methods to explain justice, then it is our duty to understand them. It is also our duty to understand why they have such differences. 
Modern thinkers, beginning with Thomas Hobbes, developed a thought experiment-the state of nature-that allowed them to redefine well-established political terms (nature, happiness, virtue, equality, freedom) to determine what people were like in the absence of any external authority, that is, a state. The argument was so compelling that their adherents applied this logic to determine what they deemed legitimate forms of government. In doing so, they made classical articulations of justice appear irrelevant. 
This shift-a seismic move away from more than 1,500 years of political philosophy, validated the new approach and called into question the approach of classical theorists. As a result, we now inhabit a world that sees little political significance in the work of the ancients. The classical theory of Plato and Aristotle appears too subjective. It seems too ideological and at times mystical. Such a momentous shift in thinking has resulted in a change in the way citizens see themselves in relation to the state and more importantly, toward each other.

How Modern Thinkers Reimagined the Classical View of Justice

The Great Transformation

For anyone who has ever said, “It feels like we’re living in different realities,” an unforgettable read and definitive explainer of the strange history of evangelical conspiracism.Conspiracy theories are at the root of the most pressing political problems of our time, yet their influence cuts just as personal. Suspicion has fractured families, communities, churches, and our very social fabric, as one person’s fact is another’s fake news.In&nbsp;Reality in Ruins,&nbsp;Dr. Jared Stacy braves the untold history of conspiracism in American evangelicalism and the anxiety at the heart of this radioactive movement that affects us all. In a new age of what he calls “Disreality,” many are left reeling in the ruins of what was once a common world. Dr. Stacy reports from the inside as someone raised and even ordained in one of the nation’s most conservative denominations. Now, as a historian and theologian who’s left evangelicalism, Dr. Stacy traces the currents of pain, panic, and power that have thrust the evangelical church into a theological crisis with consequence for everyone.For concerned citizens, Christians who are sounding the alarm on Christian Nationalism, and anyone grieving the relationships paranoia has ruptured, Reality in Ruins&nbsp;profiles the problem, validates your pain, prepares you for good resistance, and empowers you to become the truth-tellers a common world deserves.

How Conspiracy Theory Became an American Evangelical Crisis

Reality in Ruins

Bringing together diverse case studies and interdisciplinary perspectives, this open access collection serves as the first in-depth examination of queer and trans displacement in East Africa. The collection features original creative works by queer and trans diasporic writers and artists with first-hand experiences of displacement. The last decade has seen a sharp rise in state-sponsored homophobia and transphobia in East Africa. This includes discriminatory legislation, such as the widely condemned Anti-Homosexuality Act in Uganda, and government-initiated crackdowns, such as the 'anti-gay taskforce' launched in Tanzania in 2018. The politicisation of sexual and gender rights in the region is often presented as a moral crusade (i.e. a return to traditional/family values) and is enacted with the support of many religious and cultural leaders. It is within this context that an ever-increasing number of LGBTQI+ people are leaving their homes and seeking protection elsewhere. But East Africa cannot be reduced to a site from which LGBTQI+ displacement emanates. Several countries in the region act as either host countries or transit points, even as they produce LGBTQI+ refugees of their own. These complex social, political and legal dynamics make East Africa a productive site for theorising queer and trans displacement. The region offers insights into how, when and why LGBTQI+ Africans move, the social obstacles they face, and the different survival strategies they deploy. Despite this, research on East African queer and trans displacements remains sparse. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Bloomsbury Open Collections Library Collective.

Sozial- und Kulturgeographie

Gesellschaften stehen heute vor komplexen ökologischen, technologischen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Herausforderungen. Dies macht nicht nur einen institutionellen Wandel erforderlich, sondern verweist auch auf die Notwendigkeit eines grundlegenden Wandels im Handeln der Akteure. Die Beiträger*innen gehen zwei zentralen Fragen nach: Welche Bedeutung haben kulturhistorische Repräsentationen von Raum und der Umgang mit ihnen für Gesellschaften, Institutionen, Politik und andere Akteure? Und was behindert den Prozess des zielgerichteten Handelns angesichts der bestehenden Herausforderungen?

Eine Herausforderung für die Regionalentwicklung

Kulturhistorische Repräsentationen von Raum

Pathocracy

This multilayered work follows a group of Guantanamo detainees from a single Middle Eastern country, Kuwait, portraying their lives before their capture, to their experience at Guantanamo, to their ultimate release and the lives they have been challenged in remaking after returning home. It is an intimate look at real men held for years without charge and without hope. Eric L. Lewis has represented Guantanamo detainees for more than twenty years and he conducted the hearings that gained the release of the last two Kuwaiti 'forever prisoners.' As part of a committed team, he spent time with these men and their families, fighting to gain access to courts and navigating the politics and diplomacy of the Global War on Terror. As well as telling the story of his time with the Guantanamo detainees, Lewis also analyzes how Guantanamo has changed American law and culture, and how its legacy continues today.

Generation Desperation

When in July 2024 the incoming Labour Government announced as one of its priorities to stop hereditary peers sitting and voting in the House of Lords, Unicorn's Chairman and backbench hereditary peer Lord Strathcarron decided to write about the political machinations involved in the Government trying to abolish him on the one hand, and the Opposition trying to foil abolition on the other. The result is an insider's guide to the workings of the Parliamentary process, with direct access to the movers and shakers involved, and a not always entirely complimentary commentary on the key players involved.
