The many different localities of the Pacific region have a long history of transformation, under both pre- and post-colonial conditions. More recently, rates of local transformation have increased tremendously under post-colonial regimes. The forces of globalization, which rapidly distribute commodities, images, and political and moral concepts across the region, have presented Pacific populations with an unprecedented need and opportunity to fashion new and expanded understandings of their cultural and individual identities. This volume, the first in a new series, examines the forces of globalization at different levels, as they manifest themselves and operate across cultural, cognitive and biographical dimensions of human life in the Pacific. While posing familiar questions, it offers new answers through the integration of cultural and psychological methods. The contributors draw on practice theory, cognitive science and the anthropology of space and place while exploring the key analytical rubrics of human agency, memory and landscape.

Black communities have been making major contributions to Europe's social and cultural life and landscapes for centuries. However, their achievements largely remain unrecognized by the dominant societies, as their perspectives are excluded from traditional modes of marking public memory. For the first time in European history, leading Black scholars and activists examine this issue - with first-hand knowledge of the eight European capitals in which they live. Highlighting existing monuments, memorials, and urban markers they discuss collective narratives, outline community action, and introduce people and places relevant to Black European history, which continues to be obscured today.

El siglo XXI se ha despertado con el renacimiento del terror. Las guerras de Afganistán y de Irak, las luchas étnicas en el continente africano, la situación en Oriente Próximo y distintas manifestaciones del terrorismo internacional revitalizan el fenómeno del colonialismo, ese lado oscuro de la colonización, y señalan la necesidad de realizar un balance de su historia. Alrededor del Marc Ferro -director de estudios en L’Ecole des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales-, un equipo de historiadores (Thomas Beaufils / Yves Bénot / Carmen Bernand / Pierre Brocheux / Catherine Coquery-Vidrovitch / Pascale Cornuel / Sylvie Ballet / Alastair Davidson / Marie Fourcade / Arlette Gautier / Leslie Manigat / Elikia M’Bokolo / Marcel Merle / Claire Mouradian / Pap Ndiaye / Jacques Poloni-Simard / Jaques Pouchepadass / Alain rucio / Pierre-François Souyri / Mariella Villasante Cervello / Nadja Vuckovic) describen las páginas más sangrientas, los excesos y los crímenes, pero también los discursos que legitimaron la empresa colonial. Las conquistas y después las luchas por la independencia han constituido, sin duda, los episodios más traumáticos de la colonización mundial, que tuvieron como consecuencia tanto el exterminio de pueblos enteros y el agotamiento de sus recursos naturales como las guerras de liberación; pero la colonización supuso además la trata de esclavos, es decir, la deportación de entre diez y catorce millones de personas al Nuevo Mundo; y una vez abolida la esclavitud, las terribles condiciones de vida y de trabajo para gran parte de la humanidad. Una explotación económica que el industrial siglo XIX aceleró y sistematizó. A lo largo de todo este proceso, las naciones conquistadoras defendieron una ideología que, lejos de ocultar los excesos cometidos, como nos gusta creer hoy, se afanaba en justificarlos. También descubrimos que la violencia de la colonización no emanó sólo de Occidente y que existieron en el mundo otomano y en el árabe; que bajo el vocablo de «expansión territorial», Rusia y posteriormente Japón organizaron un sistema de explotación o de negación de la identidad nacional; y que el racismo que ha acompañado y sostenido los excesos del colonialismo ha podido contagiar además a los pueblos colonizados. En conclusión, el colonialismo no ha dejado únicamente heridas muy difíciles de cicatrizar (como en el caso de Vietnam, Indochina y Haití, o de dos naciones enemigas, como India y Pakistán), sino que se perpetúa en el siglo XXI bajo otras formas que "El libro negro del colonialismo" pone en evidencia.

This essay deals with the missionary work of the Society of Jesus in today’s Micronesia from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. Although the Jesuit missionaries wanted to reach Japan and other Pacific islands, such as the Palau and Caroline archipelagos, the crown encouraged them to stay in the Marianas until 1769 (when the Society of Jesus was expelled from the Philippines) to evangelize the native Chamorros as well as to reinforce the Spanish presence on the fringes of the Pacific empire. In 1859, a group of Jesuit missionaries returned to the Philippines, but they never officially set foot on the Marianas during the nineteenth century. It was not until the twentieth century that they went back to Micronesia, taking charge of the mission on the Northern Marianas along with the Caroline and Marshall Islands, thus returning to one of the cradles of Jesuit martyrdom in Oceania.

'The best short story writer in the world' Susan Hill 'This book is a spectacular literary revelation' Sunday Times The collected stories of an award-winning, modern classic American writer who has been compared to Alice Munro, John Updike – and even Anton Chekhov Tenderly, incisively, Edith Pearlman captured life on the page like no one else. Spanning forty years of writing, moving from tsarist Russia to the coast of Maine, from Jerusalem to Massachusetts, these astonishing stories reveal one of America's greatest modern writers. Across a stunning array of scenes-an unforeseen love affair between adolescent cousins, an elderly couple's decision to shoplift, an old woman's deathbed confession of her mother's affair-Edith Pearlman crafts a timeless and unique sensibility, shot through with wit, lucidity and compassion. Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe Edith Pearlman (1936–2023) published her debut collection of stories in 1996, aged 60. She won The National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction for Binocular Vision. She published over 250 works of short fiction in magazines, literary journals, anthologies and online publications. Her work won three O. Henry Prizes, the Drue Heinz Prize for Literature, and a Mary McCarthy Prize, among others. In 2011, Pearlman was the recipient of the PEN/Malamud Award, which put her in the ranks of luminaries like John Updike and Joyce Carol Oates.

Drawing on theories of political myth and concepts of nationalism, Jardar Østbø analyzes the content and ideological function of the myth of Russia as a Third Rome. Through case studies of four prominent nationalist intellectuals, Østbø shows how this messianic myth was used to reinvent Russia and its allegedly rightful place in the world after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Though it exists in many radically different versions, the Third Rome myth in general embodies particularism and rabid anti-Westernism. At best, it portrays Russia as an essentially isolationist country. At worst, it casts the country as superior to all other nations, divinely elected to rule the world.
