Free Download Éva Guillorel, "Rhythms of Revolt: European Traditions and Memories of Social Conflict in Oral Culture"
English | ISBN: 0367232065 | 2019 | 428 pages | PDF | 6 MB
The culture of insurgents in early modern Europe was primarily an oral one; memories of social conflicts in the communities affected were passed on through oral forms such as songs and legends. This popular history continued to influence political choices and actions through and after the early modern period. The chapters in this book examine numerous examples from across Europe of how memories of revolt were perpetuated in oral cultures, and they analyse how traditions were used. From the German Peasants’ War of 1525 to the counter-revolutionary guerrillas of the 1790s, oral traditions can offer radically different interpretations of familiar events. This is a ‘history from below’, and a history from song, which challenges existing historiographies of early modern revolts.

Free Download Ruth O’Brien, "Bodies in Revolt: Gender, Disability, and a Workplace Ethic of Care"
English | 2005 | ISBN: 041594533X, 0415945348 | EPUB | pages: 216 | 0.3 mb
Bodies in Revolt argues that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) could humanize capitalism by turning employers into care-givers, creating an ethic of care in the workplace. Unlike other feminists, Ruth O’Brien bases her ethics not on benevolence, but rather on self-preservation. She relies on Deleuze’s and Guttari’s interpretation of Spinoza and Foucault’s conception of corporeal resistance to show how a workplace ethic that is neither communitarian nor individualistic can be based upon the rallying cry "one for all and all for one."

English | 2013 | ISBN: 1606351710 | EPUB | pages: 340 | 0.9 mb
In 1822, Denmark Vesey was found guilty of Descriptionting an insurrection―what would have been the biggest slave uprising in U.S. history. A free man of color, he was hanged along with 34 other African Americans in Charleston, South Carolina, in what historians agree was probably the largest civil execution in U.S. history. At the time of Vesey’s conviction, Charleston was America’s chief slave port and one of its most racially tense cities. Whites were outnumbered by slaves three to one, and they were haunted by memories of the 1791 slave rebellion in Haiti. In Denmark Vesey’s Revolt, John Lofton draws upon primary sources to examine the trial and provide, as Peter Hoffer says in his new introduction, "one of the most sensible and measured" accounts of the subject. This classic book was originally published in 1964 as Insurrection in South Carolina: The Turbulent World of Denmark Vesey, and then reissued by the Kent State University Press in 1983 as Denmark Vesey’s Revolt: The Slave Description That Lit a Fuse to Fort Sumter.

M.C. Bodden ably demonstrates that not only did women have their own epistemologies, but they were alsosimultaneously complicit with patriarchal ideology and subversive in undermining that ideology.

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.

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.
