Hardback. Condición: Good. Why violence in the Congo has continued despite decades of international intervention> Well into its third decade, the military conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been dubbed a forever war--a perpetual cycle of war, civil unrest, and local feuds over power and identity. Millions have died in one of the worst humanitarian calamities of our time. The War That Doesn't Say Its Name investigates the most recent phase of this conflict, asking why the peace deal of 2003--accompanied by the largest United Nations peacekeeping mission in the world and tens of billions in international aid--has failed to stop the violence. Jason Stearns argues that the fighting has become an end in itself, carried forward in substantial part through the apathy and complicity of local and international actors. Stearns shows that regardless of the suffering, there has emerged a narrow military bourgeoisie of commanders and politicians for whom the conflict is a source of survival, dignity, and profit. Foreign donors provide food and urgent health care for millions, preventing the Congolese state from collapsing, but this involvement has not yielded transformational change. Stearns gives a detailed historical account of this period, focusing on the main players--Congolese and Rwandan states and the main armed groups. He extrapolates from these dynamics to other conflicts across Africa and presents a theory of conflict that highlights the interests of the belligerents and the social structures from which they arise. Exploring how violence in the Congo has become preoccupied with its own reproduction, The War That Doesn't Say Its Name sheds light on why certain military feuds persist without resolution. 112 Color & 646 B/w Illustrations (chiefly Photographs); Decorative Endpapers (brown/white) (ilustrador).…

Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 33 by 26cm., 349pp., numerous colour illustrations. A survey of the figural arts of the Iranian world from prehistoric times to the early-20th century, considering themes rather than styles. Primarily analyzing painting - in manuscripts and albums, on walls and on lacquered, painted pen boxes and caskets - but also the related arts of sculpture, ceramics and metalwork, the author finds that the underlying themes depicted on them through the ages are remarkably consistent. Eleanor Sims demonstrates that all these arts display similar concerns: kingship and legitimacy; the righteous exercise of princely power and the defence of national territory; and the performance of rituals and the religious duties called for by the paramount cult of the day. She describes a variety of superb works of art inside and outside these categories, noting not only how they illustrate archetypal themes but also what it is about them that is unique. She also discusses the ways that Iranian art both influenced and was influenced by invaders and neighbouring lands. Boris Marshak discusses pre-Islamic and also Central Asian art, in particular the earliest Iranian wall paintings and their pictorial parallels in rock carvings and metalwork, and the richly painted temples and houses of Panjikent. Ernst Grube considers religious imagery, and provides an informative bibliography. Dj with small repaired nick on the spine. …

Soft cover. Condición: Fine. 1st Edition. 29.5 by 21.5cm., 277pp. Islamic Art I publishes the papers delivered at the 10th Colloquy on Art and Archaeology in Asia, organised by the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art of the University of London. These papers deal with a group of paintings collected and preserved in four albums (H. 2152, 2153, 2154, and 2160) in the Topkapi Saray Museum in Istanbul. The paintings have been known since the beginning of the century but really entered the literature only when some of the more intriquing images were published in 1954. They had not been studied as a group before 1980; indeed, they had virtually defied classification by date, place of execution, and interpretation. For these reasons, they have largely been omitted from all major histories of Islamic painting. The majority are now published in Islamic Art I - which contains more than 500 illustrations - for the first time. Equally for the first time are contained in one volume an accurate account of the literature dealing with them, and a series of essays by international scholars and specialists proposing suggestions as to their dates, attributions, and meaning.
