Описание: Herodotus is not only known as the `father of history`, as Cicero called him, but also the father of ethnography; as well as charting the historical background to the Persian Wars, his curiosity also prompts frequent digression on the cultures of the peoples he introduces. While much of the information he gives has proved to be astonishingly accurate, he also entertains us with delightful tales of one-eyed men and gold-digging ants. This superbly readable new translation is supplemented by expansive notes that provide readers the background that they need to appreciate the book in depth.

Описание: The Indian Ocean replaces Europe at the center of the globalization of the pre-modern world in this second volume examination of how the region`s networks of trade, labor, technology, institutions, ideas and culture shaped a pre-modern world system.
Pamila Gupta takes a unique approach to examining decolonization processes across Lusophone India and Southern Africa, focusing on Goa, Mozambique, Angola and South Africa, weaving together case studies using five interconnected themes.
Gupta considers decolonization through the twined lenses of history and ethnography, accessed through written, oral, visual and eyewitness accounts of how people experienced the transfer of state power. She looks at the materiality of decolonization as a movement of peoples across vast oceanic spaces, demonstrating how it was a process of dispossession for both the Portuguese formerly in power and ordinary colonial citizens and subjects. She then discusses the production of race and class anxieties during decolonization, which took on a variety of forms but were often articulated through material objects. The book aims to move beyond linear histories of colonial independence by connecting its various regions using the theme of decolonization, offering a productive and new approach to writing post-national histories and ethnographies. Finally, Gupta demonstrates the value of using different source materials to access narratives of decolonization, analyzing the work of Mozambican photographer Ricardo Rangel, and including lyrical prose and ethnographical observations.
Portuguese Decolonization in the Indian Ocean World provides a nuanced understanding of Lusophone decolonization, revealing the perspectives of people who experienced it. This book will be highly valuable for historians of the Indian Ocean world and decolonization, but also those interested in ethnography, diaspora studies and material culture.

The contributions range from those dealing with the impact of UNESCO's World Heritage Convention in the Indian Ocean world as a whole to those that address the politics of cultural heritage in various distinct maritime sites such as Zanzibar, Mayotte, Cape Town, the Maldives, Calcutta and Penang. Also examined are the Maritime Silk Road and the Project Mausam initiatives of the Chinese and Indian governments respectively. The volume is an important contribution to the fields of Indian Ocean Studies and Heritage Studies

Ahimsa: In Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, respect for all living things and avoidance of violence towards others.
On a 32,000 km journey through six Asian countries over six months, Caroline, a journalist, and her husband David, a retired paramedic, become increasingly aware of animal welfare, poverty and what we are doing to the planet. They had no idea when they set off that they were going to end up vegan. Ahimsa is the story of their journey, meeting colourful characters and exploring many philosophical themes along the way. It is topical and questioning, in parts funny, sad and increasingly angry.

Описание: La conqu te de vastes empires coloniaux par les puissances europ ennes, suivie par des mouvements migratoires d'ampleur variable selon les territoires et les poques, a donn naissance de nouvelles soci t s. Les principaux groupes humains, indig nes, sous diff rentes appellations, colons d'origine europ enne et leurs descendants, et parfois esclaves arrach s au continent africain, se sont m lang s parfois rapidement et avec une forte intensit , parfois plus tardivement ou marginalement. Les unions, officialis es par des mariages ou rest es consensuelles, provoqu l'apparition de nouvelles g n rations m tisses et ainsi qu'un ph nom ne de cr olisation. L'effectif de chacun de ces groupes humains, et l'existence ventuelle de barri res entre eux, ont produit des degr s de m tissage tr s divers que les administrateurs des soci t s coloniales ont tent de classifier. Les seize textes r unis dans cet ouvrage abordent la mani re dont les populations se sont m lang es, ainsi que la position des m tis dans les nouvelles soci t s. Ces questions sont abord es dans une perspective de long terme, du XVIe au XXe si cle, et propos de nombreux territoires, du Canada la Bolivie, des Antilles Madagascar, de l'Alg rie l'Angola. The conquest of large colonial empires by European powers, followed by migratory flows, more or less important depending on places and periods, gave birth to new societies. The most important human groups, indigenous, European born settlers and their descendants, and sometimes slaves snatched from the African continent, mixed, more or less early, more or less intensely. Unions, legally registered or not, and misgeneration lead to the appearance of mixed-blood generations and to a process of creolisation. The numerical strength of these human groups, and the existence of barriers between them, produced various degrees of misgeneration that the authorities of the colonial societies tried to identify and to classify. The sixteen texts gathered in this book study the way that these populations got mixed, and the place of mixed-blood people in the new societies. These issues are tackled in a long-term perspective, about various territories, from Canada to Bolivia, from the French West Indies to Madagascar, from Algeria to Angola.
