The View from Malakand: Harold Deane's 'Note on Udyana and Gandhara'presents an edition with introductions and extensive commentary of a manuscript, discovered by Luca M. Olivieri in the fort at Malakand, Swat, Pakistan, of a seminal and pioneering account of the antiquities of Swat and Peshawar by Harold Deane. The article of which this manuscript is an earlier draft, the first significant contribution to the archaeology of Swat, was published in theJournal of the Asiatic Society(1896), and the manuscript contains interesting additional information that did not make the final text. The book presents and transcribes the manuscript, also including introductory material on its discovery and the life and significance of Deane, and (most importantly) extended notes identifying and describing the places that Deane discusses in his article. The book thus doubles as a gazetteer of this immensely rich archaeological space, and a history of its archaeological discovery. The book includes images of the original article, the manuscript, some of the artefacts referred to by Deane in his article, and an appendix publishing a manuscript by J. W. McCrindle, 'Alexander's Campaign in Afghanistan', found among a small number of Deane's papers in the possession of his great-grandson in England, which is directly relevant to the composition of his article.

"Urban Dwellings, Haitian Citizenships explores the failed international reconstruction of Port-au-Prince after the devastating 2010 earthquake. It describes the failures of international aid in Haiti while it analyzes examples of Haitian-based reconstruction and economic practices. By interrogating the relationship between indigenous uses of the cityscape and the urbanization of the countryside within a framework that centers on the violence of urban planning, the book shows that the forms of economic development promoted by international agencies institutionalize impermanence and instability. Conversely, it shows how everyday Haitians use and transform the city to create spaces of belonging and forms of citizenship anchored in a long history of resistance to extractive economies. Taking readers into the remnants of failed industrial projects in Haitian provinces and into the streets, rubble, and homes of Port-au-Prince, this book reflects on the possibilities and meanings of dwelling in post-disaster urban landscapes"--

Latin America underwent two major transformations during the 2000s: the widespread election of left-leaning presidents (the so-called left turn) and the diffusion of conditional cash transfer programs (CCTs)innovative social programs that award regular stipends to poor families on the condition that their children attend school. Combining cross-national quantitative research covering the entire region and in-depth case studies based on field research, Human Capital versus Basic Income: Ideology and Models of Anti-Poverty Programs in Latin America challenges the conventional wisdom that these two transformations were unrelated. In this book, author Fabián A. Borges demonstrates that this ideology greatly influenced both the adoption and design of CCTs.There were two distinct models of CCTs: a human capital model based on means-tested targeting and strict enforcement of program conditions, exemplified by the program launched by Mexicos right, and a more universalistic basic income model with more permissive enforcement of conditionality, exemplified by Brazils program under Lula. These two models then spread across the region. Whereas right and center governments, with assistance from international financial institutions, enacted CCTs based on the human capital model, the left, with assistance from Brazil, enacted CCTs based on the basic income model.The existence of two distinct types of CCTs and their relation to ideology is supported by quantitative analyses covering the entire region and in-depth case studies based on field research in three countries. Left-wing governments operate CCTs that cover more people and spend more on those programs than their center or right-wing counterparts. Beyond coverage, a subsequent analysis of the 10 national programs adopted after Lulas embrace of CCTs confirms that program designevaluated in terms of scope of the target population, strictness of conditionality enforcement, and stipend structureis shaped by government ideology. This finding is then fleshed out through case studies of the political processes that culminated in the adoption of basic income CCTs by left-wing governments in Argentina and Bolivia and a human capital CCT by a centrist president in Costa Rica.

Par sa position géographique, l'Algérie se présente comme un territoire largement ouvert sur la Méditerranée occidentale. Pourtant ses liens avec les régions voisines ne sont encore que peu étudiés. Jusqu'à présent les travaux qui se sont intéressés à ces rapports se sont concentrés sur une période chronologique, une thématique particulière ou une zone géographique limitée. Ce livre est issu d'un colloque organisé en 2017 a pour objectifs de contribuer à renouveler l'analyse des relations entre cette partie du Maghreb et le sud-est de la péninsule Ibérique et de leurs dynamiques dans une optique pluridisciplinaire et diachronique, de la période préromaine au Moyen Âge. À partir des données archéologiques, épigraphiques et textuelles, le but est de participer à l'identification de ces contacts. Rédigés par des chercheurs des deux rives, les chapitres réunis dans ce livre s'articulent autour de trois thématiques : la mobilité des hommes, les échanges économiques et les transferts culturels et de savoir-faire.
