In the Name of the People: Angola's Forgotten Massacre

Product Information

At its most virulent, populism has destroyed democracies from the inside out, causing social instability, economic catastrophe and, in some cases, authoritarian repression. In other cases — such as South Africa — populism is a rising threat as strong constitutional guarantees of democratic accountability come under threat.

Several Roman authors including Pliny, Ptolemy and Tacitus mention this tribe and later civitas (administrative unit in a Roman province). On the eve of Boudicca's revolt in what is today East Anglia, the Roman Army has only just completed the long and difficult task of conquering the tribes living in the Welsh Mountains. They were stirred into rebellion by Caratacus and for a long time successfully resisted the Romans. Open democracies, where opponents respect one another even as they contest for power, are under threat from a rising tide of populism. In this stark new world, political opponents are enemies to be destroyed by fake news and independent institutions are being turned in the tools of perpetuating power.

This book … has the merit to open up the debate and to find new ways for a left-wing, progressive vision of society and political parties of the future, who want to see an end to forty years of neoliberal assault on the very essence of the social welfare state.’

Because the Druids played an important role in encouraging the recently conquered Britons to resist the Roman Conquers, the Roman army specifically targeted Anglesey for destruction.Errejón, Political Secretary of Podemos, discusses with political theorist Chantal Mouffe the political strategy that underpinned the development of Podemos in Spain, and explores the possibilities for a new left politics that might emerge out of these developments. The story begins when a director at the central Ministry of Land and Resources — a position famously prone to corruption in the bureaucracy — is, despite a carefully cultivated reputation for austerity, found to have in his suburban villa huge amounts of cash that he has amassed through bribery. The investigation is headed by Hou Liangping, a determined young official from the Supreme People’s Procuratorate. The director’s downfall — kneeling and weeping for mercy before the young official — is just the beginning of the young investigator’s campaign to uncover the truth behind corrupt goings-on within a state-owned enterprise (SOE). As the story unfolds, Hou uncovers entangled relationships involving local officials past and present in the fictive province of Handong. There are scenes of sexual bribery, nepotism, heavying by gangsters in labour disputes, and other abuses of power by government officials.

The Deceangli, the Ordovices and the Silures were the three main tribe groups who lived in the mountains of what is today called Wales. As the face of corruption is unmasked, Ding Yizhen, deputy mayor of Jingzhou city (a fictional place), who is also implicated receives the help of a mysterious figure and manages to escape overseas. The clues lead to a fight for equity in the state-owned Dafeng Garment Factory in Handong province. Tacitus describes them as a strong and warlike nation, and for ten years or more the Romans fought to contain, rather than conquer them. Couverture rigide. Condition: Très bon. Edition originale.

This is the name of peoples who lived in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. The Romans used the word Caledones to describe both a single tribe who lived in the Great Glen between the modern towns of Inverness and Fort William. They also called all the tribes living in the north Caledonians. We know the names of some of these other tribes. The book … provides fresh direction for the future of left politics in a time when the left is facing defeat everywhere.’ This is the tribe or people who lived in the central part of Scotland around what is today Glasgow and Strathclyde. It is not clear where the boundary between the Votadini and the other large tribe, the Brigantes, was, although it probably frequently shifted as a result of wars and as smaller tribes and communities changed allegiances. In the north, their territory started at Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth and stretched as far south as Northumberland in northern England.

Though there is little doubt as to the common of our convictions and sensibilities, their temporalities unfold unevenly. Each place displays fields of force, encounters, alliances, and degrees of political intensity and struggle within a singular conjuncture. Everywhere our way of living and fighting, building and thinking takes on a singular form. How do these experiences relate to each other? How can we consider them in constellation? How can we learn from distant efforts, at once so close to our own? In the spirit of experimentation, we propose an aggregation of fragments of thought and experience in a volume of applied research to appear on as many continents as possible. Organized around themes, Liaisons will open a space for a style and sensibility freed from the opposition of pamphlet or academy, with the aim of inventing new concepts and tools that allow us to face the epoch according to its abundant inflections. A list of famous people, chosen mainly from the nineteenth, twentieth or twenty-first centuries. This list includes famous actors, politicians, entrepreneurs, writers, artists and humanitarians.

There are also at least three very large hillforts in their territory (Yeavering Bell, Eildon Seat and Traprain Law), each was located on the top of a prominent hill or mountain. This large tribe lived in the southern part of the Severn Valley and the Cotswolds and were one of the few groups to issue coins before the Roman Conquest. Gladys, Doris, Hilda and Ethel were all in the top 20 in 1904 but they have all, at some point, disappeared from the full list of names given to baby girls since 1996 (the first year the full list of names given to three or more babies is available). If you're a prospective parent, you might be wondering whether to plump for a common, popular name, perhaps enhancing your children's popularity and likeability in the process, or whether to give them an original moniker, helping them to feel special and act more creatively. These low lying and fertile parts of eastern Scotland provide archaeological evidence for different types of settlement and rituals compared to those of the Highlands and Islands to the west and north.
