A century of genocide: utopias of race and nation. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2003, later printing number line, 360pp., . An updated paperback edition was publishsed in 2015 with 384-pages, with a new preface by the author. - Why did the twentieth century witness unprecedented organized genocide? Can we learn why genocide is perpetrated by comparing different cases of genocide? Is the Holocaust unique, or does it share causes and features with other cases of state-sponsored mass murder? Can genocide be prevented? Blending gripping narrative with trenchant analysis, Eric Weitz investigates four of the twentieth century's major eruptions of genocide: the Soviet Union under Stalin, Nazi Germany, Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, and the former Yugoslavia. Drawing on historical sources as well as trial records, memoirs, novels, and poems, Weitz explains the prevalence of genocide in the twentieth century--and shows how and why it became so systematic and deadly. Weitz depicts the searing brutality of each genocide and traces its origins back to those most powerful categories of the modern world: race and nation. He demonstrates how, in each of the cases, a strong state pursuing utopia promoted a particular mix of extreme national and racial ideologies. In moments of intense crisis, these states targeted certain national and racial groups, believing that only the annihilation of these "enemies" would enable the dominant group to flourish. And in each instance, large segments of the population were enticed to join in the often ritualistic actions that destroyed their neighbors. This book offers some of the most absorbing accounts ever written of the population purges forever associated with the names Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, and Milosevic. A controversial and richly textured comparison of these four modern cases, it identifies the social and political forces that produce genocide. - CONTENTS: An Armenian prelude -- Introduction : genocides in the twentieth century -- ch. 1.

Translated and with an introduction by François Raffoul and David Pettigrew. Albany: State University of New York Press, 2007, 1st printing number line ending in 1, vii, 129pp., . Series: SUNY series in contemporary French thought Review: "Appearing in English for the first time, Jean-Luc Nancy's 2002 book reflects on globalization and its impact on our being-in-the-world. Developing a contrast in the French language between two terms that are usually synonymous, or that are used interchangeably, namely globalisation (globalization) and mondialisation (world-forming), Nancy undertakes a rethinking of what "world-forming" might mean. At stake in this distinction is for him nothing less than two possible destinies of our humanity, and of our time. This book is an important contribution by Nancy to a philosophical reflection on the phenomenon of globalization and a further development on his earlier works on our being-in-common, justice, and a-theological existence.".

Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. THE OPEN ROAD AND THE MAKING OF A LIFE. For Gary Paulsen, a motorcycle journey was more than an adventure. It became an opportunity to revisit the people, experiences, and difficult choices that shaped his life. Riding north from Minnesota toward the Alaska Highway, Paulsen reflects on his troubled youth, the unexpected kindness of a policeman who helped redirect his future, and the demanding experiences that taught him independence and endurance. Best known for his wilderness adventures and the award-winning novel Hatchet, Paulsen brings the same direct, unsentimental storytelling to this personal account. Motorcycles, dogsleds, dangerous journeys, and memorable encounters become part of a larger story about growing older, finding direction, and discovering what matters. An engaging memoir that will appeal to readers of Paulsen's fiction as well as collectors of motorcycle literature and American travel writing. CONDITION: No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Still Gift Quality. First Edition, GARY PAULSEN BEYOND THE WILDERNESS NOVEL. Gary Paulsen became one of America's most widely read writers for young people, particularly through Hatchet and his other survival narratives. His own experiences with wilderness travel, dogsled racing, and physical hardship provided much of the authenticity behind his fiction. Pilgrimage on a Steel Ride offers a more personal perspective on those experiences. The motorcycle journey provides a framework for considering the formative encounters and challenges that influenced both Paulsen's character and his writing. GENRES: Autobiography, Memoirs, Motorcycle Literature, Travel Writing, Adventure, American Literature, Outdoor Literature. SUBJECTS: Gary Paulsen, Motorcycling, Harley-Davidson, Alaska Highway, American West, Road Travel, Personal Memoirs, Wilderness Adventures, Dogsledding, Self-Discovery. …
