Sinopsis

"Walls That Spoke" explores the captivating history etched onto walls worldwide, revealing how wall art—from ancient cave paintings to modern graffiti—serves as powerful cultural expressions and potent symbols of resistance. The book argues that these visual narratives function as vital historical documents, offering unfiltered glimpses into the lives and struggles of often-marginalized communities. Early cave paintings, for example, offer insight into early human cognition, while later murals served to propagate political agendas. 

 
The book unfolds chronologically, beginning with prehistoric art and transitioning through murals in ancient civilizations to modern political art. Case studies, such as murals from the Mexican Revolution and the Civil Rights Movement, illustrate how these works mobilized communities and preserved collective memory. Graffiti is examined as a contemporary form of resistance, shaping urban landscapes and challenging power structures. This approach highlights the unique value of wall art in conveying social history and cultural expression.

 
By treating all forms of wall art as valid historical and cultural expressions, "Walls That Spoke" provides a comprehensive understanding of their significance. The book connects art history with social history, offering a fresh perspective on urban art, social justice, and the narratives embedded in the walls around us.

    The Insanity of the Artist -...

    Salvador Dalí sublimated his madness without ever falling into it. Antonin Artaud, confronted with the traumas of childhood, oscillated all his life between an overflowing creation and accesses of madness. Niki de Saint Phalle, thanks to artistic expression, cured herself of a deep depression linked to the trauma of incest. Vincent van Gogh, in order to reach the summit of his art, put himself in danger to the point of committing suicide. Camille Claudel exhausted herself in her creation and ended up being interned and never creating again.
    Based on the life and work of a dozen artists of genius, Thierry Delcourt tries to understand these artists’ transition from the summits of creation and the artistic abyss. Why do some people fall into madness while others go through life without a hitch? Why do some sick people find healing through creation? Why do many artists have an obsessive need to create relentlessly?
    To these fascinating questions, this book offers striking answers about creation on the brink of the abyss.

    Genocide in Darfur - Facts...

    If you think that most of the world consists of unicorns and rainbows, think again. Perhaps you think that living in the west is particularly harsh and that the problems we face in the United States or Europe are more brutal than in other parts of the world. Again, think again. 
    Welcome to a book about the ongoing genocide in Darfur, something not often discussed in the news but shocking enough to make you envision what hell on earth looks like. Chances are some of these rapes and murders are happening right now as you’re reading it. The conflict there isn’t over. Tragically, not enough is being done about it, and one might wonder if this is because of a lack of interest or the complications of the situation and therefore, incompetence. 
    The Darfur genocide describes the methodical killing of ethnic Darfuri people in Western Sudan throughout the existing dispute. It's considered the first genocide of the twenty-first century. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has prosecuted many individuals for criminal offenses against mankind, rape, mass relocations and deportations, and abuse because of the genocide being committed against the Fur, Masalit, and Zaghawa tribe. More than one million children there have been "killed, raped, hurt, displaced, shocked, or endured the loss of parents or caregivers and loved ones.” 
    The Darfur War, also called the Land Cruiser War, is a major armed dispute in Sudan's Darfur area that started in the month of February 2003 when the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM) and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) rebel groups launched a project against Sudan's federal government, implicating it of oppressing Darfur's non-Arab population. 
    This book will continue to shed light on this dark place on earth.

    Over the past two decades, postcommunist countries have witnessed a sudden shift in the electoral fortunes of their political parties: previously successful center-left parties suffered dramatic electoral defeats and disappeared from the political scene, while right-wing populist parties soared in popularity and came to power. This dynamic echoed similar processes in Western Europe and raises a question: Were these dynamics in any way connected? When Right Moves Left argues that they were. And that the root of the connection between them lies in the pro-market rebranding of the ex-communist left—the key explanatory variable. This book asserts that, though the left's pro-market shift initially led to electoral rewards, it had a less straightforward impact on left-wing parties' electoral fortunes in the long run. 
     
     
     
    The book draws upon different levels of analysis: cross-country observational data, case studies, and individual-level experimental surveys. It argues that scholars should incorporate the economic policy dimension when explaining the demise of the left and the rise of the populist right in the region. It also examines important parallels between the dynamics of Western and postcommunist countries by arguing that the idiosyncrasy of Eastern European politics has been overstated in scholarly literature.
