Violence and Resistance - An Exploration

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In a world plagued by violence, resistance is a necessity. This book explores the complex relationship between violence and resistance, and how they play out in the real world.

We begin by examining the roots of violence, looking at the social, political, economic, and cultural factors that can contribute to its outbreak. We then turn our attention to the different forms that violence can take, from physical violence and armed conflict to structural violence and psychological abuse. We also explore the impact of violence on individuals, communities, and societies as a whole.

In the second part of the book, we look at resistance to violence. We examine the different forms that resistance can take, from nonviolent civil disobedience to armed struggle. We also explore the role of art, literature, and culture in resistance, and the importance of international solidarity and cooperation.

Finally, we consider the role of the international community, civil society, the media, education, and art and culture in promoting peace and preventing violence. We argue that a comprehensive approach is needed to address the root causes of violence and build a more just and peaceful world.

This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the complex relationship between violence and resistance. It is a call to action for all of us to work together to create a world where violence is a thing of the past.

The First Atomic Bomb - The...

Janet Farrell Brodie

On July 16, 1945, just weeks before the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that brought about the surrender of Japan and the end of WWII, the US unleashed the world's first atomic bomb at the Trinity testing site located in the remote Tularosa Valley in New Mexico. 
 
 
 
In The First Atomic Bomb Janet Farrell Brodie explores the history of the Trinity test and those whose contributions have rarely been discussed—the men and women who constructed, served, and witnessed the first test—as well as the downwinders who suffered the consequences of radiation. Concentrating on these ordinary people, laborers, ranchers, and Indigenous peoples who lived in the region and participated in the testing, Brodie corrects the lack of coverage in existing scholarship on the essential details and everyday experiences of this globally significant event. This book also covers the environmental preservation of the Trinity test site and compares it with the wide range of atomic sites now preserved independently or as part of the new Manhattan Project National Historical Park. Although the Trinity site became a significant node for testing the new weapons of the postwar US, it is known today as an officially designated National Historic Landmark. Brodie presents a timely, important, and innovative study of an explosion that carries special historical weight in American memory.
