The 1980s saw one of the largest social movements in US history, as activists fought to change the Reagan Administration's policy of supporting right-ring terror and oligarchy in Central America. Despite the size and diversity of the movement, however, it remains understudied. Fight and Flight examines the campaigns of three US NGOs, namely Amnesty International USA, the National Lawyers Guild, and the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador. By analyzing the ways in which the NGOs ameliorated the effects of human rights violations in Central America, primarily through their refugee assistance programs, this research demonstrates that the movement was more effective than is generally reflected in the existing literature. Of particular interest for academic students of human rights and social movements, as well as activists interested in strategies of social change, this book offers a nuanced reading of a critical movement for human rights and international justice.--Publisher's description

This edition is published just a century after the precedent (C. Hosius 1914). The improvements in the comprehension of the manuscript tradition and of the historical context made during this century find their embedding in the text, introduction and apparatus of Malaspina’s edition. As the completion of the revival of De clementia in the last two decades, this edition is intended for all scholars of Seneca and of Roman political thought.

Launched in 2002 as an initiative of the office of the Archbishop of Canterbury and since 2013 under the stewardship of Georgetown University, the Building Bridges Seminar--a gathering of scholar-practitioners of Islam and Christianity--convenes annually for deep study and discussion of selected texts pertaining to an overarching theme such as scripture, prophethood, science and religion, and prayer. This book digests the proceedings of the thirteenth annual Building Bridges seminar, convened in and near Washington, DC in April 2014, during which a distinguished group of Muslims and Christians explored questions of sin, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Part I provides the complete texts of the opening lectures by Veli-Matti Kärkkäomen and Jonathan A.C. Brown. Parts II-IV feature essays on the core concepts identified in the seminar theme, with contributions by Christoph Schwöbel, Ayman Shabana, Susan Eastman, Mohammad Hassan Khalil, Philip Sheldrake, and Asma Afsaruddin. In the concluding section Lucinda Mosher shares anecdotes and insights from the plenary and small-group discussions.
