Ces guerres de conquête israélienne ont ravivé, chez les militant.e.s de la justice sociale, le besoin d'exprimer leur solidarité avec le peuple palestinien et l'importance de renouveler le vocabulaire politique lié à cette question.Dans cet ouvrage en partie rédigé dans le feu de l'action, à l'été 2014, Noam Chomsky et Ilan Pappé, deux ardents défenseurs de la cause palestinienne, mènent une longue conversation dirigée par Frank Barat, militant des droits de la personne. Pour eux, le problème palestinien est depuis le début un cas évident de colonialisme et de dépossession, même si on préfère le traiter comme une affaire complexe soi-disant difficile à comprendre et, plus encore, à résoudre.Leurs échanges portent à la fois sur le sionisme en tant que phénomène historique, la pertinence d'analyser la situation en Palestine comme un apartheid, l'efficacité de la campagne Boycott, désinvestissement et sanctions (BDS) et la viabilité de la solution à un ou à deux États...Tour d'horizon de la question palestinienne, ce livre a le mérite d'envisager la situation en Palestine comme un baromètre de la répression politique. Car l'injustice qui accable le peuple palestinien a des ramifications partout dans le monde. «De Ferguson à Barcelone, en passant par Mexico, nombreux sont les gouvernements qui calquent les méthodes employées par Israël pour opprimer les Palestiniens. Leur recours aux mêmes tactiques et, souvent, aux mêmes armes démontre que les Palestiniens servent maintenant de cobayes - et que la Palestine est devenue un grand laboratoire» -- Frank Barat.

Summary:
Although the seemingly apocalyptic scale of the World Trade Center disaster continues to haunt people across the globe, it is only the most recent example of a city tragically wounded. Cities are, in fact, perpetually caught up in cycles of degeneration and renewal. As with the WTC, from time to time these cycles are severely ruptured by a sudden, unpredictable event.(...)

Summary:
Although the seemingly apocalyptic scale of the World Trade Center disaster continues to haunt people across the globe, it is only the most recent example of a city tragically wounded. Cities are, in fact, perpetually caught up in cycles of degeneration and renewal. As with the WTC, from time to time these cycles are severely ruptured by a sudden, unpredictable event. In the wake of recent terrorist activities, this timely book explores how urban populations are affected by "wounds" inflicted through violence, civil wars, overbuilding, drug trafficking, and the collapse of infrastructures, as well as "natural" disasters such as earthquakes. Mexico City, New York, Beirut, Belfast, Bangkok and Baghdad are just a few examples of cities riddled with problems that undermine, on a daily basis, the quality of urban life. What does it mean for urban dwellers when the infrastructure of a city collapses – transport, communication grids, heat, light, roads, water, and sanitation? What are the effects of foreign investment and huge construction projects on urban populations and how does this change the "look" and character of a city? How does drug trafficking intersect with class, race, and gender, and what impact does it have on vulnerable urban communities? How do political corruption and mafia networks distort the built environment? Drawing on in-depth case studies from across the globe, this book answers these intriguing questions through its rigorous consideration of changing global and national contexts, social movements, and corrosive urban events. Adopting a "grass roots up" approach, it places emphasis on people’s experiences of uneven development and inequality, their engagement with memory in the face of continual change, and the relevance of political activism to bettering their lives. It is especially attentive to the historical interaction of particular cities with wider political and economic forces, as these interactions have shaped local governance over time. Imagining each city as a "body politic", the authors consider its capacity both to mediate local conflict and to broach the healing of wounds.

Summary:
A billion people, roughly half of all city dwellers in the developing world, live in squatter settlements. The most famous of these settlements are the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, which have existed for more than half a century and continue to outpace the rest of the city in growth. Janice Perlman's "The Myth of Marginality" was the first in-depth account of life in the favelas, and it is considered one of the most important books in global urban studies in the last 30 years. Now, in "Favela", Perlman carries that story forward to the present. Re-interviewing many longtime favela residents whom she had first met in 1969 - as well as their children and grandchildren - Perlman offers the only long-term perspective available on the favelados as they struggle for a better life. Perlman discovers that much has changed in three decades, but while educational levels have risen, democracy has replaced dictatorship, and material conditions have improved, many residents feel marginalized more than ever. The greatest change is the explosion of drug and arms trade and the high incidence of fatal violence that has resulted. Almost one in five people report that a member of their family has been a victim of homicide. Yet the greatest challenge of all is job creation - decent work for decent pay. If unemployment and under-paid employment are not addressed, she argues, all other efforts - from housing to policing to community development - will fail to resolve the fundamental issues. A revealing study of the giant slums of Rio de Janeiro and of the vibrant communities of migrants who have risked everything to come to the city to provide more opportunities for their children, this book yields insights that apply to the entire global South, from Mexico City to Cairo, and from Mumbai to Lagos. Favela offers a long-term look at one of the great challenges facing the modern world - perhaps the major challenge of the twenty-first century.
