The Shortest History of the Soviet Union by Sheila Fitzpatrick
English | July 31st, 2022 | ISBN: 0231207174, 0231207166 | 256 pages | True PDF | 28.06 MB
In 1917, Bolshevik revolutionaries came to power in the war-torn Russian Empire in a way that defied all predictions, including their own. Scarcely a lifespan later, in 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed as accidentally as it arose. The decades between witnessed drama on an epic scale-the chaos and hope of revolution, famines and purges, hard-won victory in history's most destructive war, and worldwide geopolitical conflict, all entwined around the dream of building a better society.

Sally Engle Merry, "The Seductions of Quantification: Measuring Human Rights, Gender Violence, and Sex Trafficking"
English | 2016 | pages: 260 | ISBN: 022626128X, 022626114X | PDF | 1,8 mb
We live in a world where seemingly everything can be measured. We rely on indicators to translate social phenomena into simple, quantified terms, which in turn can be used to guide individuals, organizations, and governments in establishing policy. Yet counting things requires finding a way to make them comparable. And in the process of translating the confusion of social life into neat categories, we inevitably strip it of context and meaning-and risk hiding or distorting as much as we reveal.

Robin Phylisia Chapdelaine, "The Persistence of Slavery: An Economic History of Child Trafficking in Nigeria "
English | ISBN: 1625345240 | 2021 | 224 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Despite efforts to abolish slavery throughout Africa in the nineteenth century, the coercive labor systems that constitute "modern slavery" have continued to the present day. To understand why, Robin Phylisia Chapdelaine explores child trafficking, pawning, and marriages in Nigeria's Bight of Biafra, and the ways in which British colonial authorities and Igbo, Ibibio, Efik, and Ijaw populations mobilized children's labor during the early twentieth century. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources that include oral interviews, British and Nigerian archival materials, newspaper holdings, and missionary and anthropological accounts, Chapdelaine argues that slavery's endurance can only be understood when we fully examine "the social economy of a child"―the broader commercial, domestic, and reproductive contexts in which children are economic vehicles.
