As the spokesperson for the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories, Hanan Mikhail-Ashrawi has become the most recognized and most articulate voice of their struggle. The world turns to her to make sense of the often conflicting attempts at peace in the Middle East as much for her clarity and vision as for her actions and experience. When the intifada began, Hanan Mikhail-Ashrawi was at the front lines, trying to reason with the Israeli soldiers and to articulate the feelings of an occupied, and troubled, nation; when peace talks were initiated, she brought the human element into the increasingly complex diplomatic meetings; and when Arafat and Rabin shook hands on the White House lawn, she had worked out the last-minute details that finally made it possible. Now, in a revealing and important account, Ashrawi tells of her own struggles, as a Christian Arab woman in a Muslim, male-dominated world, torn between motherhood and the demands of her cause, and as a pivotal peacemaker in the most monumental negotiations of our lifetime. She offers an inside view of Mideast diplomacy, Arafat and the PLO hierarchy, and the thinking of the Palestinians, and she shares the emotional complexities of her everyday and extraordinary life. The daughter of a physician, a university professor herself -- and a wife and mother of two young daughters -- she could have found ways to avoid most of the hardship of the occupation, but instead she chose to be part of her people's struggle. In the midst of the heaviest fighting, when the two sides were locked in a fatal embrace, Ashrawi learned and drew great strength from her family and her intense friendships with both Palestinian and Israeli women, and quietly helped to lay the foundation for peace. In her tireless efforts, she understood, by instinct and trial and error, when to follow diplomatic channels and when to take the back … , Easton Press, 1995, 2.5, (Subject: The Third Reich - Military Structure) A series of volumes on the German Army and the formations it comprised.

UL-XXXXXX, 0, Baton Rouge, Louisiana State University Press, 1990., hard bound in dust jacket, 6 x 9, FINE/FINE CONDITION, .XVI, 356 pages. maps, charts and tables., NOTES, BIBLIOG, INDEX.-------------------------------------Historians of late colonial Spanish America have tended to encounter difficulties in determining how to interpret political, social, commercial, and economic developments in the viceroyalty of New Granada, established in 1739, and the viceroyalty of Peru, which, after 1776, occupied a much-reduced territory. In recent years, however, a flurry of research has opened new perspectives into the historical experiences of both viceroyalties. The ten essays in this book, all but one of which were originally presented as research papers at the Forty-Fifth International Congress of Americanists, held in Bogota in 1985, reflect the main thrust of this recent scholarship.---------------------------------------Essays in the book's first section examine different dimensions of imperial policy. Allan J. Kuethe considers the early reform efforts of Charles III. Sandra Montgomery Keelan looks at the misguided mission to regenerate New Granadan silver mining, and Juan Marchena Fernandez focuses on the role of the military in Peru and New Granada after 1750. Jacques A. Barbier discusses the attempt to draw New Granada into the imperial commercial network of the late colonial period.-------------------------------------------The second part of the book looks closely at economic conditions. Lance Grahn provides a detailed account of the debilities of the Spanish commercial system in New Granada under the early Bourbons. John R. Fisher compares the effects of the 1778 Regulation of Free Trade in the two viceroyalties, and Maurice Brungardt presents a statistical survey of New Granada's late colonial agrarian economy.The third section focuses on colonial protest and rebellion, with essays by Anthony McFarlane on the traumatic urban rebellion in Quito of 1765 and by David Cahill on the Arequipa uprising in 1780. Finally, Brian Hamnett explores the role of popular insurrection during New Granada's wars of independence.Based on a rich selection of documentary materials, these essays collectively advance new perspectives into the Bourbon empire and suggest avenues for further research, 0<
