A study with particular reference to the Bharatiya Kisan Union, a peasant movement, and the Jat farmers of western Uttar Pradesh.This text demystifies the notion of the Indian peasant as being pre-colonial, and shows the astuteness with which traditions are selectively revived for contemporary purposes. By examining the specifics in the case of a rural political party in Uttar Pradesh, the author argues that by careful analysis of details, one can revise many received theories on rural movements as well as enrich the understanding of civil society, co-operatives and routine repression.

Sabine T. Kriebel, "Revolutionary Beauty: The Radical Photomontages of John Heartfield"
English | ISBN: 0520276183 | 2014 | 352 pages | PDF | 31 MB
Revolutionary Beauty offers the first sustained study of the German artist John Heartfield's groundbreaking political photomontages, published in the left-wing weekly Arbeiter Illustrierte Zeitung (AIZ) during the 1930s. Sabine T. Kriebel foregrounds the critical artistic practices with which Heartfield directly confronted the turbulent, ideologically charged currents of interwar Europe, exposing the cultural politics of the crucial historical moment that witnessed the consolidation of National Socialism. In this period of radicalization and mass mobilization, the medium of photomontage―the cut-and-paste assemblage of photograph and text―offered a way to deconstruct the visual world and galvanize beholders on a mass scale.

Rethinking Transitional Justice for the Twenty-First Century: Beyond the End of History By Dustin N. Sharp
2018 | 204 Pages | ISBN: 1108425585 | PDF | 5 MB
Transitional justice is the dominant lens through which the world grapples with legacies of mass atrocity, and yet it has rarely reflected the diversity of peace and justice traditions around the world. Hewing to a largely western and legalist script, truth commissions and war crimes tribunals have become the default means of 'doing justice'. Rethinking Transitional Justice for the Twenty-First Century puts the blind spots and assumptions of transitional justice under the microscope, and asks whether the field might be re-imagined to better suit the diversity and realities of the twenty-first century. At the core of this re-imagining is an examination of the broader field of post-conflict peace building and associated critical theory, from which both caution and inspiration can be drawn. By using this lens, Dustin N. Sharp shows how we might begin to generate a more cosmopolitan and mosaic theory, and imagine more creative and context-sensitive approaches to building peace with justice.

Pamela Erskine-Loftus, "Representing the Nation: Heritage, Museums, National Narratives, and Identity in the Arab Gulf States "
English | ISBN: 0367193086 | 2019 | 224 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
The 1970s saw the emergence and subsequent proliferation across the Arabian Peninsula of 'national museums', institutions aimed at creating social cohesion and affiliation to the state within a disparate population. Representing the Nation examines the wide-ranging use of exhibitionary forms of national identity projection via consideration of their motivations, implications (current and future), possible historical backgrounds, official and unofficial meanings, and meanings for both the user/visitor and the multiple creators. The book responds to, due to the importance placed on tradition, heritage and national identity across all the states of the Peninsula, and the growth of re-imagined and new museums, the need for far greater discussion and research in these areas.
