Найти книгу: "Istanbul, City of the Fearless"

Based on extensive field research in Turkey, Istanbul, City of the Fearless explores social movements and the broader practices of civil society in Istanbul in the critical years before and after the 1980 military coup, the defining event in the neoliberal reengineering of the city. Bringing together developments in anthropology, urban studies, cultural geography, and social theory, Christopher Houston offers new insights into the meaning and study of urban violence, military rule, activism and spatial tactics, relations between political factions and ideologies, and political memory and commemoration. This book is both a social history and an anthropological study, investigating how activist practices and the coup not only contributed to the globalization of Istanbul beginning in the 1980s but also exerted their force and influence into the future.

Kui Istanbul oleks inimene, oleks ta suur, kohukas, hiljuti taasrikastunud, ulimalt intensiivne ja kohati pealetukkiv mees. Mone nurga alt tunduks tema sarmantne profiil ilus, lausa naiselike joontega, kuid teisel pool oleks mitu koledat karvadega sunnimarki. Vahel oleks ta mahe ja tuune, vahel valjuhaalne ja tuutu. Ta oleks inimene, keda sa kas armastad voi vihkad, kuid kes ei jata sind iial ukskoikseks.Mote, et mina, vordoiguslane ning puhendunud tele- ja turundustootaja, koliksin elukaaslase karjaari tuules Istanbuli, ei mahtunud algul mu maailmapilti. Mida ma seal tegema hakkan? Kas suudan keelt oskamata ja kohalikke olusid tundmata leida sobivat tood? Lisaks, tunnistan ausalt, oli mul Turgi ja turklaste suhtes hulk eelarvamusi.Nuud tean, et tegin ainuoige otsuse. Me oleme siin olnud vaga onnelikud. Toid ja tegevusi jatkub ning varsti on mul ka turgi keel taielikult suus. Istanbulis elatud aastad on laiendanud mu silmaringi ning kasvatanud sumpaatiat islami kultuuri ja siinse rahva vastu. Olen alati soovinud endale kirjut, seikluste ja valjakutsetega elu. Tanan Istanbuli, sest ta on mulle seda heldelt pakkunud.Hille Hanso

How leadership with love can make lasting changes, even in the toughest situations Lead Fearlessly, Love Hard offers real, actionable advice for those seeking to change the education system from within. While countless books, articles, and speeches decry the challenges disadvantaged students in low-performing schools face, no one has offered a clear path forward through these challenges—until now.

Today, she is a turnaround principal and popular TED Talk speaker who helps children living in poverty achieve more than they ever thought possible. In Lead Fearlessly, Love Hard, she provides hope, optimism, and a call to action to help all students reach their true potential. Steadfast leadership and clear principles can overcome almost anything, and this book shows you how to focus your passion, apply your skills, and lead your students down the path to a better future. Discover and develop the leader within Take responsibility and move forward every day Give each student the critical interaction they crave Be a force for real, positive change in neighborhood schools Highlighting the intersection of strong visionary and strategic thinking with on-the-ground, day-to-day implementation, this narrative-driven guide tells the stories of real students and educators to show how clear principles and strong guidance can turn around schools—and the students they serve.
