Free Download Leo Zeilig, "Revolt and Protest: Student Politics and Activism in Sub-Saharan Africa"
English | 2007 | pages: 360 | ISBN: 1845114760, 1780760434 | PDF | 2,4 mb
The evolution of student activism in sub-Saharan Africa is crucial to understanding the process of democratic struggle and change in Africa. Focusing on the recent period of ‘democratic transitions’ in the 1990s, Leo Zeilig discusses the widespread involvement of student activism in democratic struggles across contemporary Africa and focuses on two case studies, Senegal and Zimbabwe. He provides an historical examination of the student-intelligentsia on the continent that played a crucial role in the independence struggles across much of Africa, leading and organising nationalist movements and outlines the development of grass-root activism. Zeilig demonstrates how students shape and are shaped by national processes of political change and popular protest and reveals both the continuities and transformations in student activism in an era of austerity, crisis and poverty.

Free Download Oren Kessler, Shawn K. Jain (Narrator), "Palestine 1936: The Great Revolt and the Roots of the Middle East Conflict"
English | ASIN: B0CS48S8FQ | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~09:12:00 | 262 MB
In spring 1936, the Holy Land erupted in a rebellion that targeted both the local Jewish community and the British Mandate authorities. The Great Arab Revolt would last three years, cost thousands of lives, and cast the trajectory for the Middle East conflict. The revolt was the crucible in which Palestinian identity coalesced, uniting all in a single struggle for independence. Yet the rebellion would ultimately turn on itself. British forces’ aggressive counterinsurgency took care of the rest, finally quashing the uprising on the eve of World War II.
To the Jews, the insurgency would leave a very different legacy. It was then that Zionist leaders began to abandon illusions over Arab acquiescence, to face the prospect that fulfilling their dream of sovereignty might mean forever clinging to the sword. The revolt saw thousands of Jews trained and armed by Britain. This is the story of two national movements and the first sustained confrontation between them. The rebellion was Arab, but the Zionist counter-rebellion-the Jews’ transformation-is a vital element in how Palestine became Israel. Today, the revolt’s legacy endures.
Palestine 1936 is the origin story of the world’s most intractable conflict, but it is also more than that. It reveals world-changing events through extraordinary individuals on all sides.

Free Download For Revolt: Rancière, Abstract Space and Emancipation by Jussi Palmusaari
English | November 16, 2023 | ISBN: 135027402X | True EPUB/PDF | 248 pages | 0.4/20.5 MB
This striking interpretation of Rancière’s uncompromising view of emancipation draws on his Maoist commitments and invariably rational and Kantian-moralist basis. Tracing the logic of abstract and atemporal space in all of Rancière’s work, it stands in contrast to the prevailing tendency to emphasise his sensitivity to evolving historical forms and changing regimes of sensibility. Overturning the meaning of Rancière’s interest in the sensible makes the object of his thinking clear: a revolt against a reality structured according to ordered temporalities and forms of appearance.

Free Download The Fly Girls Revolt: The Story of the Women Who Kicked Open the Door to Fly in Combat (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CDXZ8CP8 | 2023 | 9 hours and 5 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 262 MB
Author: Eileen A. Bjorkman
Narrator: Lisa S. Ware
In 1993, U.S. women earned the right to fly in combat, but the full story of how it happened is largely unknown. The Fly Girls Revolt chronicles the actions of a band of women who overcame decades of discrimination and prevailed against bureaucrats, chauvinists, anti-feminists, and even other military women. Drawing on extensive research, interviews with women who served in the 1970s and 1980s, and her personal experiences in the Air Force, Eileen Bjorkman weaves together a riveting tale of the women who fought for the right to enter combat and be treated as equal partners in the U.S. military.

Free Download Elena L Dugan, "The Apocalypse of the Birds: 1 Enoch and the Jewish Revolt against Rome "
English | ISBN: 1399508652 | 2023 | 280 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This book identifies a new apocalyptic work―the Apocalypse of the Birds―contained in the Animal Apocalypse (1 Enoch 85-90), and argues that it is born of the chaotic Jewish-Christian world of the first-century CE. Through close analysis of texts and manuscripts in Ge’ez, Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew, alongside historical and numismatic evidence, the book situates the Apocalypse of the Birds alongside literature and historiography of the first-century CE. It argues that the Apocalypse of the Birds belongs to the heady early days of the First Jewish Revolt, and represents crucial evidence for the early optimism of the revolutionaries, the dynamic and progressive evolution of the Animal Apocalyptic tradition, and the blurred and porous boundaries between Jew and Jesus-follower in the first-century CE.

Free Download Henry A. Giroux, "Youth in Revolt: Reclaiming a Democratic Future"
English | 2012 | pages: 218 | ISBN: 1612052630, 1612052649 | PDF | 1,5 mb
Recently, American youth have demonstrated en masse about a variety of issues ranging from economic injustice and massive inequality to drastic cuts in education and public services. Youth in Revolt chronicles the escalating backlash against dissent and peaceful protest while exposing a lack of governmental concern for society’s most vulnerable populations. Henry Giroux carefully documents a wide range of phenomena, from pervasive violent imagery in our popular culture to educational racism, censorship, and the growing economic inequality we face. He challenges the reader to consider the hope for democratic renewal embodied by Occupy Wall Street and other emerging movements. Encouraging a capacity for critical thought, compassion, and informed judgment, Giroux’s analysis allows us to rethink the very nature of what democracy means and what it might look like in the United States and beyond.
