Synopsis

In "The Jew, The Gypsy and El Islam," Richard Francis Sir Burton embarks on a profound exploration of cultural identity and religious diversity through a comparative analysis of Jewish, Romani, and Islamic societies. Written in Burton's signature evocative prose, the book weaves together travel narratives, historical context, and anthropological observations, challenging prevailing stereotypes and revealing the complexities and nuances of each group. Burton's narrative reflects the 19th-century fascination with exoticism and the interconnectivity of civilizations, positioning the work within the broader context of colonial literature and ethnographic studies of his time. Richard Francis Sir Burton, a polymath and explorer, was renowned for his courage and intellectual curiosity. His extensive travels across the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas greatly influenced his perspective on cultural interactions and human behavior. Burton's affinity for embracing the unfamiliar and his proficiency in various languages allowed him to engage deeply with the communities he studied. This book can be seen as a culmination of his lifelong interest in the comparative study of cultures and religions, advocating for understanding in an era marked by division. This work is essential for readers interested in anthropology, history, and cross-cultural studies. Burton's unique insights challenge us to confront bias and appreciate the rich tapestry of human experience. His compelling narrative encourages reflection on contemporary issues of identity and belonging, making it a thought-provoking addition to any scholarly library.

Victimhood Memory and...

David Goyes, Katja Franko

Inhabitants of Medellín, Colombia, suffered from the war-like violence perpetrated by drug cartels and other actors in the 1980s and 1990s. Thousands died, including innocent civilians, judges, and journalists, many more were injured and suffered psychological trauma. Three decades later, however, transnational media companies such as Netflix have transformed the traumatic memories into entertainment while the main perpetrator, Pablo Escobar, became a 
recognizable brand name. 
 
 
 
Victimhood, Memory, and Consumerism: Profiting from Pablo documents the story of violence inflicted on Medellín, and critically examines the status of its victims. Drawing on unique empirical material, the book addresses the impact of commercial exploitation of the city's violent past on the victims of mass drug violence and on the present nature of the city. 
 
  
 
Victimhood, Memory, and Consumerism offers a poignant critique of the role of the global market economy in the unequal distribution of narrative power among those engaged in processes of collective memory construction. A thoroughly compelling listen, this volume will appeal internationally to academics in criminology and victimology, as well as those interested in critical perspectives on Netflix, commercialism, and Colombian history.

Downtown Juárez - Underworlds of...

Howard Campbell

At least 200,000 people have died in Mexico's so-called drug war, and the worst suffering has been in Ciudad Juárez, across the border from El Paso, Texas. How did it get so bad? After three decades studying that question, Howard Campbell doesn't believe there is any one answer. Misguided policies, corruption, criminality, and the borderland economy are all factors. But none of these reasons explain how violence in downtown Juárez has become heartbreakingly "normal." 
 
 
 
A rigorous yet moving account, Downtown Juárez is informed by the sex workers, addicts, hustlers, bar owners, human smugglers, migrants, and down-and-out workers struggling to survive in an underworld where horrifying abuses have come to seem like the natural way of things. Even as Juárez's elite northeast section thrives on the profits of multinational corporations, and law-abiding citizens across the city mobilize against crime and official malfeasance, downtown's cantinas, barrios, and brothels are tyrannized by misery. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.
