In the Vortex of Violence examines the uncharted history of lynching in post-revolutionary Mexico. Based on a collection of previously untapped sources, the book examines why lynching became a persistent practice during a period otherwise characterized by political stability and decreasing levels of violence. It explores how state formation processes, as well as religion, perceptions of crime, and mythical beliefs, contributed to shaping people’s understanding of lynching as a legitimate form of justice. Extending the history of lynching beyond the United States, this book offers key insights into the cultural, historical, and political reasons behind the violent phenomenon and its continued practice in Latin America today.

In Beyond the Trauma Vortex, Gina Ross proposes a collaboration between the media, trauma researchers, and helping officials in order to break the vicious cycle of trauma and violence. The media, Ross suggests, can use their tremendous influence to promote peace rather than violence and to heal wounded psyches, communities, and nations. Delving first into the destructive nature of the "trauma vortex" through a variety of individual and historical examples, Ross then offers her insight into an alternate, restorative "healing vortex." By focusing on the interrelatedness of personal and collective healing, the author makes a compelling case for why--and how--media professionals can play an influential role in effecting widespread healing for their viewers and for themselves.

As the world moves towards the abyss of climate change and the evidence of catastrophe solidifies by the day, international agreements and government actions continue to fall far short of what is needed. The empirical evidence unambiguously tells us we have little more than 10 years to make the most profound and difficult changes to our society that will surpass anything from our past. Instead, humankind wraps its arms around the climate change disaster in a suicidal embrace. The Vortex of Violence strips away the wishful thinking on climate change that has hindered the dialogue that is needed to explore the structural failures that are halting progress. It argues that talk about ambition to tackle climate change is irrelevant; the only thing that really counts is having security to move to a zero carbon economy and the biggest security threat of all is nuclear weapons. Like the failures on climate change, nuclear non-proliferation talks have also failed with the same regularity. Despite the climate change crisis facing us, the world's nuclear weapons states are collectively embarking on one of biggest upgrades of nuclear weapons systems ever. For this, they need expanding industrial economies to raise the taxes as well as maintaining huge high carbon military industrial complexes in permanently operational states. This is the antithesis of what is needed to tackle climate change. It drives the most fundamental illogicality of all - building weapons of mass destruction that will outlast the societies that they are supposed to protect by their guarantee of mutual destruction. The Vortex of Violence makes the provocative, but unavoidable, argument that to achieve the scale of change that we must face when the planet is being made more unstable by the day due to the effects of climate change, resource shortages and the uncontrollable impacts of technology, then nuclear weapons and climate change talks must be integrated. If we do not do this, our chance of survival is less than selecting a single atom at random from all the atoms that make the planet. It leads to far reaching and uncomfortable conclusions about the entire political systems that have evolved to govern us and which drive the problems we collectively face.

"[A] tremendous new book." —The Boston Globe "Carney and Miklian write vividly in the fashion of a cinematic disaster flick." —The Washington Post The deadliest storm in modern history ripped Pakistan in two and led the world to the brink of nuclear war when American and Soviet forces converged in the Bay of Bengal In November 1970, a storm set a collision course with the most densely populated coastline on Earth. Over the course of just a few hours, the Great Bhola Cyclone would kill 500,000 people and begin a chain reaction of turmoil, genocide, and war. The Vortex is the dramatic story of how that storm sparked a country to revolution. Bhola made landfall during a fragile time, when Pakistan was on the brink of a historic election. The fallout ignited a conflagration of political intrigue, corruption, violence, idealism, and bravery that played out in the lives of tens of millions of Bangladeshis. Authors Scott Carney and Jason Miklian take us deep into the story of the cyclone and its aftermath, told through the eyes of the men and women who lived through it, including the infamous president of Pakistan, General Yahya Khan, and his close friend Richard Nixon; American expats Jon and Candy Rhode; soccer star-turned-soldier Hafiz Uddin Ahmad; and a young Bengali revolutionary, Mohammed Hai. Thrillingly paced and written with incredible detail, The Vortex is not just a story about the painful birth of a new nation but also a universal tale of resilience and liberation in the face of climate emergency that affects every single person on the planet.

Originating from a conference in Pennsylvania in 1980, this is an updated collection of 14 well-researched essays on the Southern African region. The main focus is on the apartheid regime in South Africa and its economic, military and political impact on the neighbouring states. There is one article dealing specifically with Namibia (John Seiler: "South Africa in Namibia", p. 165-189), but the contributions on SADCC, Southern Africa in the World System, and South Africa's relations with Mozambiqueand Angola also throw light on questions highly relevant to the future of Namibia. (Eriksen/Moorsom 1989).
