rif. B9780742557673Paperback / softback. New. This groundbreaking book examines the treatment of veterans of the People's Liberation Army and military families as an illuminating window into Chinese patriotism citizenship and legitimacy. Using a wealth of recently declassified archival documents and employing a wide comparative perspective Neil J. Diamant presents the first large-scale study of these groups in comparison to similar populations in other parts of Asia and in the West. He offers an unprecedented look at the "everyday interactions" among veterans military families state officials and ordinary citizens as they attempted to secure urban residence jobs spouses medical care and respect. Often celebrated by the government for their glorious and patriotic service veterans and military families were the beneficiaries of many policies such as affirmative action in hiring and access to political power. But the author asks if veteran and military families were heroic why did many of them compare their situation to "donkeys slaughtered after grinding the wheat" and "tossed-away dirty socks" And what explains the thousands of suicides among veterans rampant discrimination and ongoing protests against the government By comparing veterans in China to their counterparts in the United States the Soviet Union Israel and elsewhere this book provides important answers to the larger question of what circumstances lead to better or worse treatment of veterans and what this treatment tells us about patriotism legitimacy and respect for military service. paperback

rif. A9780226846187Hardback. New. An on-the-ground description of Colombia’s peace process as lived by the rural populations most affected by it. The Colombian village of Briceño might at first glimpse look like many communities in the rural Global South. Many of the people living there rely on small-scale farming even as a newly constructed hydroelectric dam threatens traditional livelihoods. Yet after decades where Briceño suffered from a bloody conflict the village has more recently become central to the nation’s hopes for peace. In Governing the Excluded sociologist Alex Diamond shares a closer look at Briceño and offers unique insight not only into the contemporary Colombian state but to how people across the Global South are struggling to maintain rural livelihoods amid economic dispossession. Governing the Excluded describes a landmark peace process between the Colombian government and the radical FARC guerrillas from the perspective of Colombian farmers drawing links between economic transformation drug economies and armed conflict. Exclusion from global markets for traditional crops like coffee first pushed farmers to grow coca the raw material for cocaine. This ushered in an era of violent conflict for control of the illicit economy while farmers continued to be priced out of legal markets. In exchange for peace and state protection farmers ultimately agreed to sacrifice profitable coca. But with its disappearance they now find themselves dependent on the state: for machinery to maintain the roads they need to get legal harvests to market municipal jobs that are the only decent work available and for public resources to subsidize food crops with razor-thin profit margins. Ongoing economic struggles in the legal sector make the state’s newfound authority tenuous as some villagers replant coca abandon the village for uncertain urban futures or join a rearmed guerrilla group. Informed by deep ethnographic research and firsthand stories from Briceño residents Governing the Excluded shows that when it comes to the forces driving dispossession—be they international corporate megaprojects global food prices or national initiatives to replace coca cultivation—state authority goes only so far as its ability to sustain local livelihoods. hardcover
