Synopsis

"Artificial Borders Conflicts" examines how artificially imposed borders, often drawn by colonial powers with little regard for existing populations, continue to fuel conflict and instability worldwide. The book argues these borders aren't just lines; they actively shape political landscapes. It's crucial to understand the history of imperialism, such as the scramble for Africa, to understand the contemporary geopolitical landscape. These borders often disrupt social structures and exacerbate inter-group tensions, directly causing conflict. The book explores the historical context of artificial border creation, the socio-political ramifications for affected populations, and the long-term impact on international relations.

Beginning with a theoretical framework for border studies, the book progresses chronologically and thematically, analyzing specific cases across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Consider the Sykes-Picot Agreement, where arbitrary lines redrew the Middle East, impacting current conflicts. The book analyzes potential solutions and strategies for mitigating the negative impacts of these borders.

Through historical records, treaties, maps, demographic data, and case studies, the book demonstrates the impact of artificial borders. Readers will gain insights into the underlying causes of ongoing conflicts and critically evaluate policy proposals related to border management, conflict resolution, and international development. The book also addresses debates surrounding sovereignty, self-determination, and the legacy of colonialism.

Colette - My Literary Mother

Michele Roberts

The power of Colette's work comes from its modernist storytelling. 
 
 
 
Colette was a pioneering, groundbreaking modernist writer, but has not always had her originality and worth recognized in Britain. Her work provocatively uses unstable narratives, gaps, silences, fairytale, mythical tropes, and sensual evocations of childhood, sex, and landscapes. 
 
 
 
In this book, Michèle Roberts examines how Colette invents new forms to express her unsettling content on desire, perversion, aging, and different forms of love. Delving into four key texts, Roberts explores Colette's willingness to break open taboos about older woman and desire, as well as hidden and forbidden aspects of human longings and pleasures. 
 
 
 
Through these re-readings, Roberts discovers that Colette's work is even more entrancing, more disturbing, and more original than she first thought.

Downfall: The Self-Destruction...

Nadine Dorries

14 YEARS
5 PRIME MINISTERS
THE PARTY IS OVER
After decades in the hands of malevolent players and two years of disastrous leadership, the Conservative party stands at the edge of the abyss.
From the humiliation of Liz Truss’s 49-day premiership to the shameful, self-serving drift of Rishi Sunak’s time in office, Downfall is the story of a political party on the verge of extinction.
Picking up on the events that followed The Plot, Nadine Dorries draws on interviews with those in the room to expose what really went on behind the scenes. From group sex sessions organised via WhatsApp, to the King being stood up at the Privy Council and the real reason why Rishi Sunak left the D-Day celebrations early, the accounts are raw, unvarnished and brutal. Everything is worse than it seems.
The next leader will hold the future of the party in his or her hands, and with outside forces resisting change, the challenge will be as enormous as it will be difficult. But the painful truth is that the party deserves to be where it is – and nothing can stay the same.
With unparalleled access to the people who were actually in the room and who will speak to Nadine with a frankness with which they would never speak to a journalist, Downfall promises to be THE political book of 2024.
As the Sunday Times bestselling author, Nadine Dorries delves deep into the state of the Conservative party, exposing the corruption and misconduct that has led to its downfall. The process of its decline is laid bare, revealing a shocking truth about the parties involved.
