Pathologies of Power uses harrowing stories of life-and death-in extreme situations to interrogate our understanding of human rights. Paul Farmer, a physician and anthropologist with twenty years of experience working in Haiti, Peru, and Russia, argues that promoting the social and economic rights of the world’s poor is the most important human rights struggle of our times. With passionate eyewitness accounts from the prisons of Russia and the beleaguered villages of Haiti and Chiapas, this book links the lived experiences of individual victims to a broader analysis of structural violenc

Does the scientific "theory" that HIV came to North America from Haiti stem from underlying attitudes of racism and ethnocentrism in the United States rather than from hard evidence? Award-winning author and anthropologist-physician Paul Farmer answers with this, the first full-length ethnographic study of AIDS in a poor society. First published in 1992 this new edition has been updated and a new preface added.

The Uses of Haiti tells the truth about uncomfortable matters—uncomfortable, that is, for the structures of power and the doctrinal framework that protects them from scrutiny.

Written in AD 731, Bede’s work opens with a background sketch of Roman Britain’s geography and history. It goes on to tell of the kings and bishops, monks and nuns who helped to develop Anglo-Saxon government and religion during the crucial formative years of the English people. Leo Sherley-Price’s translation brings us an accurate and readable version, in modern English, of a unique historical document. This edition now includes Bede’s Letter to Egbert concerning pastoral care in early Anglo-Saxon England, at the heart of which lay Bede’s denunciation of the fals

Tax law and fiscal policy are subjects which are generally considered to be close to the heart of the Single European Market, yet because of the complexity of EC tax law few have attempted to grapple with its multifarious difficulties. There is, strangely, little literature on the subject. This new book by two experienced EC lawyers fills that gap by examining in some detail the various tax regimes affecting the Community and uncovers the links between policy and law-making in a way which will give all readers a firm understanding of the principles of EC tax law.
