"Roots of Violence: A History of War in Chad examines the conflict and organized violence in the former French colony of Chad, the fifth largest country in Africa. Mario Azevedo clarifies the role of ancient and modern strategies of organized violence and warfare in Chad, from both historic and contemporary perspectives. He combines written, primary and archival sources with secondary works, primarily in French and English, as well as oral data he collected during his visits to Chad in 1974, 1981, 1984 and 1995. Roots of Violence explores not only how violence has permeated Chad and become an almost intrinsic part of central-eastern Sudanic society, but also how foreign interference, from centuries ago to the present, has exacerbated rather than eased violence. Although Dr. Azevedo's main objective is to examine present-day Chad, this book also provides comprehensive and analytical discussion of Chad's violent past. In this way, the author goes beyond merely blaming the unwise ethnic policies of François Tombalbaye or Felix Malloum - thus demythologizing many assumptions held by scholars and non-scholars alike. Roots of Violence contributes to the growing literature on the roots of conflict and resolution in the region, and helps fill prevailing research gaps on Chad and Equatorial Africa.".…

Hardback. Condition: New. In this multidisciplinary book, the editor and contributors provide the most accurate and most recent information on health and health care in the State of Mississippi. They explain why the state finds itself in precarious health conditions and reveal the prevailing circumstances as the state debates a path toward a comprehensive health care system for its citizens. They show who has had access to good health care in the state and celebrate the heroes who struggled to provide health care to all Mississippians, and contribute to the debate on how the health care system might be restructured, reconstructed, or adjusted to meet the needs of all people in the state, regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and national origin.The issue of health disparities and socio-economic status leads to a relevant discussion of whether health and access to quality care are a right of all people, as the United Nations has proclaimed, or the privilege of a few who have the economic resources and the political clout to purchase first-rate care. The volume offers a clear understanding of health care trends in the state since the inception of its health system during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries up to the present and the prospects of transcending the obstacles of its own creation over the past two centuries. It likewise highlights the economic challenges that Mississippi, like other states, confronts; and how wise and realistic its priorities are in meeting the needs of its diverse populations, particularly racial and ethnic minorities.…
