Cultural Contestation in Ethnic Conflict (9780521870139)



Ethnic conflict often focuses on culturally charged symbols and rituals that evoke strong emotions from all sides. Marc Howard Ross examines battles over diverse cultural expressions, including Islamic headscarves in France, parades in Northern Ireland, holy sites in Jerusalem and Confederate flags in the American South to propose a psychocultural framework for understanding ethnic conflict, as well as barriers to, and opportunities for, its mitigation. His analysis explores how culture frames interests, structures demand-making and shapes how opponents can find common ground to produce constructive outcomes to long-term disputes. He focuses on participants' accounts of conflict to identify emotionally significant issues, and the power of cultural expressions to link individuals to larger identities and shape action. Ross shows that, contrary to popular belief, culture does not necessarily exacerbate conflict; rather, the constructed nature of psychocultural narratives can facilitate successful conflict mitigation through the development of more inclusive narratives and identities.

Running : The Autobiography (9781409147398)

World Snooker Champion Ronnie O'Sullivan's frank and honest account of his astonishingly dramatic life. I used to rely on drugs and alcohol to keep me going, but now I've got the healthiest addiction going - running. This book explains how running has helped me to fight my demons - my addictive personality, depression, my dad's murder conviction, the painful break-up with the mother of my children - and allowed me to win five World Snooker Championships. It is also about all of the great things in my life - my kids, snooker, my dad's release from prison, great mates who have helped me, and the psychiatrist Dr Steve Peters, who has taught me how not to run away when things get tough. Finally, it's about what it's like to get the buzz - from running, from snooker, from life. Because when it comes down to it, everyone needs something to drive them on. Product details ...

Treasures In My Heart : A true WWII love story (9780595308187)

Paula Freeman was the sweetheart and eventually the wife of Sgt. John Ray, who was a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division. He participated in the invasions of Africa and Italy and then was sent into France on D-Day. The inspiration for this story comes from 333 love letters written to Paula by John from January 1941 through June 6, 1944, when he made his fatal jump into Ste. Mere Eglise, France. Using these letters, along with her thoughts, memories, and a diary, Paula has reconstructed a beautiful love story that stirs up memories of World War II and what it was like to send a loved one off to war. Paula was never told how John died. It wasn't until she read Stephen Ambrose's book, D-Day June 6, 1944: The Climactic Battle of World War II that she discovered that her husband was a hero. She learned that John was associated with some of the best trained, most capable, and intelligent men in the world and was defending our country. Paula's goal in writing this book i...
