Story0
We Sell Drugs is a study grounded in the transnational geography and political economy of the coca-leaf and coca-derived commodities market stretching from Peru and Bolivia into the United States. More than a narrow biography of one famous plant and its equally famous derivative products - Coca-Cola and cocaine - this audiobook situates these commodities within the larger landscape of drug production and consumption. Examining efforts to control the circuits through which coca traveled, Suzanna Reiss provides a geographic and legal basis for considering the historical construction of designations of legality and illegality.
The book also argues that the legal status of any given drug is largely premised on who grew, manufactured, distributed, and consumed it and not on the qualities of the drug itself. Drug control is a powerful tool for ordering international trade, national economies, and society's habits and daily lives. In a historical landscape animated by struggles over political economy, national autonomy, hegemony, and racial equality, We Sell Drugs insists on the socio-historical underpinnings of designations of legality to explore how drug control became a major weapon in asserting control of domestic and international affairs.

Story1
Winston Churchill had a longer and closer relationship with the Royal Navy than any British statesman in modern times, but his record as a naval strategist and custodian of the nation's sea power has been mired in controversy since the ill-fated Dardanelles campaign in 1915. Today, Churchill is regarded by many as an inept strategist who interfered in naval operations and often overrode his professional advisers - with inevitably disastrous results.

As a young woman, Democratic congresswoman Carolyn Maloney asked her grandmother for career advice. She was shocked by the reply: "Get married." Though much has changed for women since then, more has remained the same. On a January night in 2008, Maloney and her daughter attended a Hillary Clinton rally in New Hampshire. Men in the audience held "Iron My Shirt" posters aloft. This small incident provoked outrage, but it provided an important peephole onto larger problems that women face today.

Direct democracy can no longer be thought of as something that belongs to the future.... This is the scarcely believable story of how, in just over three years, a political dotcom grew to become one of the most powerful forces in the affairs of a country of 60 million people. At the general election in Italy this year, Beppe Grillo’s Five Star Movement, which has its headquarters on a website, took a quarter of the vote - more than Silvio Berlusconi’s party.

The historical significance of Barack Obama's triumph in the presidential election of 2008 scarcely requires comment. Yet it contains an irony: He won a victory as an African American only by denying that he was the candidate of African Americans. Obama's very success, writes Fredrick Harris, exacted a heavy cost on black politics.
In The Price of the Ticket, Harris puts Obama's career in the context of decades of black activism, showing how his election undermined the very movement that made it possible.

Derided by the Right as dangerous and by the Left as spineless, Barack Obama puzzles observers. In Reading Obama, James T.

Obama's commitments to deliberation and experimentation derive from sustained engagement with American democratic thought.

Alla fine degli anni Sessanta, Italia, Francia, Germania occidentale e Gran Bretagna – Paesi già colpiti dal terrorismo interno – si trovarono a far fronte a una nuova minaccia: le organizzazioni armate, nate in Medio Oriente, che internazionalizzarono la propria lotta, esportando il terrorismo in Europa. Raggiunsero il loro obiettivo? Generarono il caos internazionale? O invece i Paesi europei riuscirono, almeno temporaneamente, a disarmare i terroristi, includendoli nel sistema delle relazioni internazionali?

Łódź, primavera del 1947. Sul banco degli imputati della Corte Distrettuale siede Hans Biebow, nato a Brema nel 1902 e che, durante la guerra, era stato amministratore (Amtsleiter) del ghetto di Łódź. Lo stato polacco considera quest’uomo, alto, biondo e dagli occhi azzurri, come uno dei dieci peggiori criminali nazisti ancora in circolazione, al pari di Rudolf Höß (capo di Auschwitz), Arthur Greiser (Gauleiter del Warthegau) o Hans Frank (governatore del Governatorato Generale). Ma Biebow non era un militare e nemmeno un alto esponente del partito nazionalsocialista.

"Il conflitto tra israeliani e palestinesi in questi ultimi anni è di nuovo andato avvitandosi su di sé, dopo gli spiragli degli anni Novanta. Delle speranze trascorse rimane ben poco mentre delle antiche diffidenze tutto sembra essere stato riconfermato. Alla radice rimane il mancato riconoscimento reciproco, la tragica finzione per cui, affinché l'uno possa esistere, l'altro debba scomparire una volta per sempre". Una terra, due popoli, ma non ancora due Stati.

Story0
Sui monti di Sarzana, proprio lungo la Linea Gotica, dove nel 1944 i combattimenti infuriavano con maggiore ferocia, il capitano della marina tedesca Rudolf Jacobs, ottimo soldato, abbandonò le proprie fila. Non lo fece per fuggire da una guerra ormai persa, ma per unirsi ai partigiani garibaldini, fino a morire eroicamente durante l'assalto a una caserma delle Brigate nere fasciste. Apparentemente la sua sembra la storia di un'eccezione, commovente e coraggiosa, ma pur sempre un'eccezione rispetto alla nostra idea dei tedeschi zelanti combattenti della Germania nazista, fedeli fino al suo crollo.

Alcuni giorni dopo la bomba di Milano, il settimanale britannico The Observer parlerà di "strategia della tensione", riferendosi non solo alle bombe ma al modo in cui sono stati strumentalizzati attentati e disordini sociali, chiamando in causa la stampa e i politici.
