In the early months of 1994, it became clear that the government of Rwanda had not acted in good faith in signing peace accords with its adversary, the Rwandan Patriotic Front. Acts of government-sponsored violence grew more frequent. The author of this book, who at that point was conducting fieldwork in Rwanda, on several occasions found either himself or the Rwandans accompanying him threatened with, or sustaining, bodily harm. Finally, active hostilities between the antagonists escalated on April 7, 1994, just hours after the Rwandan President's plane was shot down. During the author's evacuation from Rwanda in the months following, he interviewed many survivors. This book, the outcome of the author's experiences during the conflict, is an attempt to understand the atrocities committed during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda in which nearly one million people, mostly of Tutsi ethnicity, were slaughtered in less than four months. Beyond this, the author shows that political and historical analyses, while necessary in understanding the violence, fail to explain the forms that the violence took and the degree of passion that motivated it. Instead, Rwandan ritual and practices related to the body are revelatory in this regard, as the body is the ultimate tablet upon which the dictates of the nation-state are inscribed. One rather bizarre example of this is that Hutu extremists often married or had sexual relations with Tutsi women who, according to the Hamitic hypothesis, were said to be sexually alluring. Their mixed-race offspring were not exempt from the genocide. Finally, and perhaps most importantly in light of the recent resurgence of violence, the author advances hypotheses about how the violence in Rwanda and Burundi might be transcended.

In Sacred Violence, the distinguished political and legal theorist Paul W. Kahn investigates the reasons for the resort to violence characteristic of premodern states. In a startling argument, he contends that law will never offer an adequate account of political violence. Instead, we must turn to political theology, which reveals that torture and terror are, essentially, forms of sacrifice. Kahn forces us to acknowledge what we don't want to see: that we remain deeply committed to a violent politics beyond law. Paul W. Kahn is Robert W. Winner Professor of Law and the Humanities at Yale Law School and Director of the Orville H. Schell, Jr. Center for International Human Rights.

CHICKEN COOP, HOOPPOLE, LICKSKILLET, SAND COLLEGE, AND JOINT Listen to the echoes of these and more than a hundred other one and two-room schools in Monroe County, Indiana. The members of the One-Room School Committee, a part of the Monroe County Retired Teachers Association, take pleasure in presenting this book. Echoes documents the early history of education in Monroe County, Indiana from the 1800s to the last school in 1967. Many people have shared their early memories, photographs, and mementos from Monroe County's early rural schools. In addition to what was originally gathered, we have added information from many former teachers and students. We have recorded and transcribed interviews, received written stories and documents, held many telephone conversations, and have made a serious effort to be accurate in our reporting. Echoes contains 285 photographs of school buildings, students, and maps showing the locations of these schools. While we have made every effort to be accurate, we realize that people's recollections may vary, names may be misspelled, and some dates may not be correct. These individual memoirs capture the atmosphere and the spirit of Monroe County's one-room and two-room schools. Let this book take you back to a simpler time--to the hills and hollows of southern Indiana. Walk with Monroe County's children through the fields and along unpaved roads to the little schoolhouses with warm pot-bellied stoves. Spend a little time with teachers organizing learning for all eight grades. Sit with students at the recitation bench and then go outside at lunchtime and learn how to play andy over or stinkbase, and listen to these echoes. We dedicate this book to all the early teachers in Monroe County: to those whose names appear in this book, and to many whose names have been lost. They taught under primitive conditions with meager facilities and few supplies; they had varying amounts of personal education, and little remuneration. Despite all this, these teachers devoted their talents, their energy, and their affection to the children in their little schools. They provided a solid foundation for the educational system in Monroe County, Indiana.

America's core principles are being destroyed in the name of the Global War on Terror. Fear is our government's weapon of choice in this war-and it is being used against the American people. We have an out of control and cowardly government determined to undermine everything that generations of Americans have fought and died for. It is time for all Americans to band together to retake our country. Politicians need to be taught the lesson that We the People are really in charge here. Liberty requires sacrifice, and every American needs to stand up and be heard to force our government to recognize our commitment to liberty and the rule of law. Anyone interested in prying the American homeland from the stranglehold of corporate greed and political corruption will find this book informative and entertaining. If we can come together as a country, we can solve every problem that arises, natural or man-made; and defeat any enemy, foreign or domestic. We can do this, but it will take all of us working together. We're supposed to be the good guys. We are the good guys. It's time we start acting like it again.
