The International Criminal Court remains a sensitive issue in U.S. foreign policy circles. It was agreed to at the tail end of the Clinton administration, but with serious reservations. In 2002 the Bush administration ceremoniously reversed course and unsigned the Rome Statute that had established the Court. But recent developments in Washington and elsewhere indicate that the United States may be moving toward de facto acceptance of the Court and active cooperation in its mission. In Means to an End, Lee Feinstein and Tod Lindberg reassess the relationship of the United States and the ICC, as well as American policy toward international justice more broadly.
Praise for the hardcover edition of Means to an End Books of this sort are all too rare. Two experienced policy intellectuals, one liberal, one conservative, have come together to find common ground on a controversial foreign policy issue.... The book is short, but it goes a long way toward clearing the ideological air. -- Foreign Affairs A well-researched and timely contribution to the debate over America's proper relationship to the International Criminal Court. Rigorous in its arguments and humane in its conclusions, the volume is an indispensable guide for scholars and policymakers alike. --Madeleine K. Albright, former U.S. Secretary of State
Two of our nation's leading authorities on preventing atrocities have joined to make a convincing argument that closer cooperation with the International Criminal Court will help promote human rights and the values on which America was founded. --Angelina Jolie, co-chair, Jolie-Pitt Foundation

Автор: Feinstein, Rachel (carthage College) Название: When rape was legal ISBN: 1138629685 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781138629684 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 40820.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: When Rape was Legal is the first book to solely focus on the widespread rape perpetrated against enslaved black women by white men in the United States. The routine practice of sexual violence against enslaved black women by white men, the motivations for this rape, and the legal context that enabled this violence are all explored and scrutinized. Enlightening analysis found that rape was not merely a result of sexual desire and opportunity, or simply a form of punishment and racial domination, but instead encompassed all of these dimensions as part of the identity of white masculinity. This provocative text highlights the significant role that white women played in enabling sexual violence against enslaved black women through a variety of responses and, at times, through their lack of response to the actions of the white men in their lives. Significantly, this book finds that sexual violence against enslaved black women was a widespread form of oppression used to perform white masculinity and reinforce an intersectional hierarchy. Additionally, white women played a vital role by enabling this sexual violence and perpetuating the subordination of themselves and those subordinate to them.
Reconnect with Judaism's most important contribution to humanity--and redeem our world.
"The gift of Judaism is an understanding of what it means to be a human being--what we can do, what we can hope for, how we can live with purpose, what is expected of us. It is a celebration of human freedom, human possibility and human responsibility. Judaism is a way to live a heroic life, to construct a life devoted to values that are eternal, values of ultimate significance. The reward of a Jewish life is walking the world with a profound faith that you matter, your life matters, your dreams matter. I call this chutzpah."
--from the Introduction
In this clarion call for a new way to "do Judaism," award-winning spiritual leader Rabbi Edward Feinstein urges us to recover this message of Jewish self-empowerment--or chutzpah--to reshape our world. He walks us through the history of chutzpah--from the early chapters of Genesis, Jewish biblical law and the Rabbis of the Talmud to the mystics of medieval Spain and the European Hasidic tradition, Zionism and post-Holocaust thought. By showing us the ever-presence of chutzpah in Judaism he reveals the inner story of the Jewish People's soul as well as the meaning that Judaism's deepest purpose and most precious treasure has for us today.
What your rabbi probably has never told you, but could--if you'd only ask.
"Every day I wonder if God is real, if the Torah is true. Every day I wonder why I'm a Jew. But that's part of being Jewish. In the Torah, we're called Yisrael--the ones who wrestle with God. Wrestling, asking, wondering, searching is just what God wants us to do God loves good questions. Now tell me, what are your questions?" --from Chapter 1
In Judaism we're allowed to ask questions. We are invited to ask them. But for young people, it often feels as if no one is willing to take tough questions about religion, ourselves, and the world seriously.
This updated and expanded new edition of Tough Questions Jews Ask turns that all around. With honesty, humor and respect, Rabbi Edward Feinstein tackles topics as diverse as:
Why Does God Let Terrible Things Happen?
What Is God Anyway?
If I Pray for Something, Will I get It?
What's the meaning of life? Is that a dumb question?
Why Does Religion Need So Many Rules?
Why Be Jewish?
With insight and wisdom--and without pretending to have all the answers--Rabbi Feinstein encourages young people to make sense of the Jewish tradition by wrestling with what we don't understand.

Antonio Bastone lives a double life as an entrepreneur with both dark and illustrious connections and as a member of the covert operation Swords of David. His objective: to eliminate or neutralize those who seek the destruction of Israel, thus threatening world peace.
The SOD operation takes Antonio and his cohorts-intelligent and sexy Ziva, bodyguard Benjamin, and Fran oise, a beautiful Mon gasque woman with a shadowy secret-into the world of European aristocracy, international society, and high-stakes gambling. Though dedicated to the quest for peace in Israel, each is willing to take risks that could prove fatal in order to accomplish their goal.
With unexpected help from some Turkish bandits, the team returns to Italy, thinking their mission is completed-only to be summoned back to Israel for a new assignment. The fate of the world hangs in the balance.
"A gripping, intricately plotted novel-an adventure thriller that's highly in tune with reality." -Avi Lugashi, former sergeant major in the Israeli Defense Forces
"Swords of David is a definite all-nighter, recommended to anyone who enjoys electrifying exploits mixed with international intrigue. Mr. Feinstein's book has all the drama and glamour of a major motion picture." -Robert Bloom, former military Chinese interpreter during the Korean War

This highly accessible translation of the classic story of Sundiata, a real king who ruled the empire of Mali just south of the Sahara desert from 1235-55, engages readers while introducing African culture and oral tradition used in Africa.
Historian D. T. Niane received this version of the Sundiata epic from Djeli
(griot) Mamoudou Kouyate. It has been twice translated, from Malinke (or
Mandingo) into French, and then into English. The result is a prose novel, with explanatory endnotes.
This Revised Edition includes additional material that enhances the story and helps readers better understand the context in which this popular story is set: Background information (geography, religion, society and politics); Oral Tradition, Pronunciation, and Spelling; and a Who`s Who of Characters / Glossary of Places.
Fascinating and accessible to all, this is an epic story which should rank with the Iliad and the Odyssey as one of the world`s great adventure stories.
