1994[Migranti](cm. 22.5) Cartonato editoriale, sovracoperta stampata a colori. -pp.303. Seconda edizione, stampata a solo un mese di distanza dalla prima. "Attraverso le frontiere che ci eravamo illusi di sigillare, passano culture che si influenzano a vicenda creando un gigantesco meticciato. Ogni radice cresce dentro l'altra, in una «salsa» vitale e bastarda che diventa la cultura del mondo. Passano le medicine, i vaccini che salvano i bambini. Passa la droga, con i suoi emissari criminali e la sua ricchezza. Pusher, missionari, mercenari, portatori di cure, di pace e di morte viaggiano con gli stessi aerei, attraversano gli stessi aeroporti, escono, entrano, arrivano. (pag. 34) È un mondo fondato sulla differenza fra estraneità e inimicizia, fra diversità e antagonismo, fra le pretese di alcuni e le necessità di tutti. È una valle inesplorata. In quella valle ci sono «gli altri». Qualcuno ha insegnato, invano, ad amarli. Qualcun altro, per secoli, ha indottrinato a distruggerli. È un momento nuovo e misterioso della storia. Non esiste nella cultura, non esiste nei fatti accaduti, non l'abbiamo dentro di noi. (pag. 61) Non posso attraversare la vita accettando di contare meno di un teenager di gang che non si lascia sfuggire occasione per una rasoiata, di un bravo esecutore di stragi di mafia, che fuma, tiene il dito sul pulsante del timer e guarda paziente scorrere il traffico, di un seguace di Aidid che lavora anche la notte a preparare trappole di morte, di un cecchino che non perde un dettaglio di vita, dall'alto delle colline di Sarajevo. (pag. 290) La domanda è se vogliamo definitivamente essere spettatori: di violenze, di massacri, di funerali, di stragi, di eventi misteriosi. Guardiamoci intorno: pezzi di Stato vanno alla deriva, organizzazioni si sfaldano, corpi armati che dovrebbero proteggere si rivelano un pericolo. I governi, da Mosca a Port-au-Prince, uccidono i propri cittadini. Il crimine, da Bogotà a Palermo, controlla aree del mondo. L'identità si celebra negando ad altri l'identità. (pag. 292) Le organizzazioni internazionali sono bande di santi e bande di mercenari, gente che rischia la vita per un bambino, gente che profitta della morte di altri. Ci copre un mare di parole. Serve alla finzione di governare, di far apparire, come esistente, ciò che in realtà non esiste. Il paesaggio è dominato dai signori della guerra, dai signori della droga, dai signori di frammenti del potere, dai signori della salute, dai signori delle notizie... (pag. 293)". Piccolo strappetto sulla parte dorsale della sovracoperta, che coinvolge lievemente anche il dorso cartonato, peraltro intonso, ottime condiozioni. [n49] Libro

2021br. Laddove le frontiere non delimitano nazioni, nascono instabilità croniche che inaspriscono conflitti e miseria. L'ex Jugoslavia, i Paesi del Sahel, l'Afghanistan e la Siria sono solo alcuni esempi. Malcolm, Laji, Hamid e Mohammed, protagonisti delle quattro conversazioni, ripercorreranno i drammatici eventi che hanno caratterizzato la storia di questi Paesi. Attraverso le loro visionarie congetture, tracceranno nuove linee di confine, ristabilendo l'identità di quei popoli soggiogati dai vincitori della Grande Guerra, sventrati dal colonialismo ottocentesco o smembrati dall'imperialismo britannico. Un viaggio fatto di parole per revisionare i confini e, infine, ritrovare le nazioni.
2017br. La caduta del muro di Berlino, simbolo dell'ordine bipolare sorto dalla seconda guerra mondiale, sembrò inaugurare una stagione in cui sarebbero venute meno molte altre frontiere, insieme alla liberalizzazione e integrazione dei mercati, la creazione di vaste zone di libero scambio, la nascita di una nuova unione politica e monetaria. Solo trent'anni dopo quella tendenza appare invertita e si assiste a una rivalutazione di confini e frontiere, a un'espansione del loro numero e persino alla loro reintroduzione là dove, come in Europa, erano state virtualmente abolite. Un illusorio ritorno di fiamma della sovranità nazionale, un fenomeno controtempo o la rivincita del peso della storia e del potere del luogo? Il fatto che le frontiere siano tornate di attualità, ci avverte l'autore nella sua analisi delle più pericolose linee di faglia che si sono aperte nel mondo contemporaneo, non significa però che esse corrispondano a ciò di cui l'attualità avrebbe bisogno.

réf. ST17060NFrance probably Besançon 3rd quarter of 15th century. 239 x 165 mm. 9 3/8 x 6 1/2". Single column 15 lines in an elegant gothic book hand. Rubrics in dark pink line enders in pink and blue with white tracery and gold bezant one- and two-line initials painted gold on pink and blue ground with white tracery each side with a panel border decorated with hairline vines gold bezants and ivy and colorful flowers and acanthus RECTO BORDER INHABITED BY A CHARMING DOG-LIKE CREATURE. ◆A small light stain in border decoration largely masked by dense hairline vines but IN FINE CONDITION--bright clean and well preserved. From a large Book of Hours probably produced in Besançon this leaf features very pretty panel borders including one with a particularly charming inhabitant in the form of a dog-like creature with no front legs wearing an orange collar and emitting an acanthus leaf from its mouth. Imaginative touches like this and luxurious elements such as the several dozen gilt bezants and ivy leaves in each border and the unusually wide margins point to this manuscript having been quite a costly production.

1916réf. 239811916. Fifth Massachusetts Infantry Mexican Border photo and ephemera archive 1916 to 1917 documenting the mobilization encampment training movement and social organization of a Massachusetts National Guard regiment sent to the Southwest during the crisis surrounding Pancho Villa and the U.S. Punitive Expedition into Mexico. President Woodrow Wilson called National Guard units into federal service in June 1916 after Villa's March attack on Columbus New Mexico and Brigadier General John J. Pershing's subsequent advance into Mexico; by the end of the campaign most of the National Guard had been federalized and concentrated along the border. The Fifth Massachusetts Infantry was among the state organizations serving in the El Paso region contemporary reports identifying its soldiers among the thousands of militiamen stationed there while individual companies also operated from points including Las Cruces. The photographs and accompanying papers record that mobilization from inside the regiment identifying officers and enlisted men mapping camps and patrol country recording the material organization of military life and preserving the correspondence and commemorative culture that connected service on the border to home. Disbound album archive of 56 silver gelatin photographs and 13 pieces of ephemera including a piece of Texas cotton and a "Mexican cigarette" handwritten letters and verse newspaper clippings and a First Annual Dinner handout for the Fifth Massachusetts Infantry; photographs approximately 3 x 4.75 inches and album leaves approximately 5.5 x 7.25 inches principally Texas and New Mexico 1916 to 1917. Many photographs carry handwritten captions identifying people locations and events. A regimental band poses with cornets horns drums and other instruments the large bass drum lettered "Fifth Massachusetts Infantry Boston"; a lineup of five uniformed men before wooden camp buildings is identified as "Sergt. Maj. Gamble; Maj. Thomas; Sergt. Peters; Sergt. Murphy; Sergt. Bugler Ray." Individual portraits identify "Francis Smith" and "Chaplain Rollins" among others while other photographs record color guards soldiers with rifles mounted men trucks and military transport tent streets inspections camp formations and servicemen relaxing outside quarters. Landscape views follow the regiment through the border environment with captions referring to Camp Cotton El Paso Mount Franklin Las Cruces the Rio Grande and the Mexican border. One photograph captioned "Wrecked Tent Aug 17 1916" records damage within camp; another "Mexican Doby Hut / Aug. 23 1916" shows four Mexican children before an adobe dwelling. Ephemera extends the record beyond the camera: newspaper clippings concern the Fifth Massachusetts and border duty the unit dinner program documents post deployment regimental commemoration and handwritten correspondence includes a poem describing the anticipation of seeing a loved one again from the train home. The 1916 mobilization placed citizen soldiers from state National Guard organizations into a rapidly expanded federal border defense system while Pershing's Regular Army expedition pursued Villa inside Mexico. Guardsmen arriving in the Southwest encountered tent encampments shortages unfamiliar heat and terrain road marches drills trench digging weapons training patrol assignments and border guard duty; Army histories describe Camp Cotton near El Paso as initially austere with soldiers sleeping on the ground and constructing drainage and sanitation works before facilities improved later that summer. The 1916 border deployment also preceded American entry into the First World War by less than a year giving National Guard organizations practical experience in mobilization camp administration transport discipline and field service immediately before a much larger federal call to arms. Album leaves disbound with edge chipping tears losses around binding holes and scattered mounting residue; photographs show light to moderate silvering fading creasing and surface wear with ephemera variously toned and worn. Overall in good condition. A regimental record of how the Fifth Massachusetts Infantry lived trained moved and maintained unit identity during the United States military mobilization along the Mexican border in 1916. unknown books
