The barber scowls at my blondeness and pours and pours from a container of dye, rubbing the thick liquid into my hair. In the mirror, from beneath the black dye, the blonde hair still flows toward me. He reaches for another container and pours and rubs and dyes. “Blacker,” I say to him. “Like the black I used to have. Like the black roots.” “Wait.” He is impatient. -
1948 Arab‒Israeli
1948 Arab–Israeli War 1 1948 Arab–Israeli War מלחמת or מלחמת העצמאות :The 1948 Arab–Israeli War, known to Israelis as the War of Independence (Hebrew ,מלחמת השחרור :, Milkhemet Ha'atzma'ut or Milkhemet HA'sikhror) or War of Liberation (Hebrewהשחרור Milkhemet Hashikhrur) – was the first in a series of wars fought between the State of Israel and its Arab neighbours in the continuing Arab-Israeli conflict. The war commenced upon the termination of the British Mandate of Palestine and the Israeli declaration of independence on 15 May 1948, following a period of civil war in 1947–1948. The fighting took place mostly on the former territory of the British Mandate and for a short time also in the Sinai Peninsula and southern Lebanon.[1] ., al-Nakba) occurred amidst this warﺍﻟﻨﻜﺒﺔ :Much of what Arabs refer to as The Catastrophe (Arabic The war concluded with the 1949 Armistice Agreements. Background Following World War II, on May 14, 1948, the British Mandate of Palestine came to an end. The surrounding Arab nations were also emerging from colonial rule. Transjordan, under the Hashemite ruler Abdullah I, gained independence from Britain in 1946 and was called Jordan, but it remained under heavy British influence. Egypt, while nominally independent, signed the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of 1936 that included provisions by which Britain would maintain a garrison of troops on the Suez Canal. From 1945 on, Egypt attempted to renegotiate the terms of this treaty, which was viewed as a humiliating vestige of colonialism. Lebanon became an independent state in 1943, but French troops would not withdraw until 1946, the same year that Syria won its independence from France. -
INTRODUCTION Johan Huizinga, the Waning of the Middle Ages
Notes INTRODUCTION l. Johan Huizinga, The Waning of the Middle Ages (London, 1949) p. 69. 2. Memorandum by Sir Alexander Cadogan, 20 April 1949, FO 371/75341 E 5263. CHAPTER ONE I. Very little has been written on Bernadotte's early life. Books and articles written in memoriam (minnesboks) are historically of little value. According to Mrs. Ekstrand, very little material has survived in family circles. Author's correspondence with Mrs. Ekstrand and Count Bertil Bernadotte, April 1980 and November 1983. Bernadotte's autobio- graphy, I stallet for Vapen (Instead of Arms) Stockholm, 1948 and R. Hewins's, Count Folke Bernadotte, His Life and Work (Minneapolis, 1951) are useful but understandably uncritical. Of particular value to the author were two manuscripts written at his request by the late Mrs. Ekstrand, formerly Countess Bernadotte, and by Dr. Ragnar Svan- strom, Bernadotte's ghost-writer. They will be referred to as 'Ekstrand' and 'Svanstrom'. For the period after 1928 the American press contains a good deal of current news and after 1943 there is more in the Swedish Red Cross Archives (now part of the Swedish Riksarkivet), British PRO, US National Archives, UN Archives, and so on. 2.

Lit and the Mountains – Recommended Reading
Literature and the Mountains: A Bibliography The following is a very incomplete, rudimentary, occasionally annotated bibliography of literature and/on the mountains. I have loosely organized it first by genre, then by region, then loosely by date. I certainly haven’t read all these, and so cannot attest to their qual- ity, but have tried to limit the list somewhat to those works that hold either special literary or historical significance. This list owes particular debt to Professor Thomas Moran, Middlebury College. This list has emerged somewhat haphazardly, rather than by design. I welcome submis- sions for further additions and annotations.

The Riftin Report Annotated English Translation by Akevot Institute, 2021
The Riftin Report Annotated English translation by Akevot Institute, 2021 March 1, 1948 To: Chair of the Security Committee1 From: Yaakov R.2 Section A: Factual Inquiry 1. a. The letter of David3 to Amitai4 dated February 4, 1948, states: “Three weeks ago, a Polish Christian was arrested in Tel Aviv and taken to Yona base. He was not interrogated. His guard shot and killed him. The body was taken and thrown into Hadassah Garden”. b. Kiryati’s5 letter to Hillel6 provided the following explanation: “The guard who shot the prisoner was interrogated, and in his interrogation informed his commanding officer that when he went into the prisoner’s cell to retrieve the soiled food dishes, the prisoner attacked him and attempted to strangle him. To protect his life, the guard shot him. The prisoner, after the shots, was dying. Accordingly, after considerations, it was decided to liquidate him and remove him from the base.” c. In his letter to Battalion B, Givati7 decreed: “1. – Acquit Hornik Efraim; 2. Condemn Keter Yaakov and remove him from the Organization [the Haganah]. The conclusions must be read during the platoon roll call.” d. In a verbal conversation, Givati provided me with the following explanation: A. Hornik came to Keter Yaakov’s aid after he was attacked and had fired. Givati believes there was no need to fire, and the prisoner’s attack could have been overcome without firing. He noted that both were young fellows. Keter Yaakov is a new immigrant from Turkey. Hornik – a new immigrant from Poland. 1 The Security Committee, established September 1947, was a 9-member civilian political body overseeing the Jewish armed forces. -

Colonialismo, Muerte Y Sexo En El Corazón a Contraluz De Patricio Manns
MARCAS VIOLENTAS: COLONIALISMO, MUERTE Y SEXO EN EL CORAZÓN A CONTRALUZ DE PATRICIO MANNS Gabriela Mora Rutgers University Julio Popper “falso capitán y verdadero ingeniero”, “Alias ‘El Rey de la tierra del fuego”, “El Descubridor”, ‘El Explorador”, “El geógrafo”, “El Exterminador”, “El Doctor Remington”, “el Pedigüeño de Tierras” (El corazón a contraluz, 32). El corazón a contraluz, novela que está ya en su tercera edición en francés y en castella- no, merecedora de unánimes elogios en Argentina y en Francia, no ha tenido en Chile la atención crítica que merece1. El prólogo a la edición francesa (Cavalier Seul, Phébus, 1996), firmado por Francisco Coloane, sostiene que la obra pudo ser una historia soñada por Stevenson, pero a la cual Borges, Faulkner y Freud hubieran prestado sus sueños y obsesiones2. Leo la referencia a Stevenson como llamada de atención a las aventuras que se narran, en que el escenario desempeña un importante papel. De Borges, el arte de contar, uniendo historia y ficción en redes intertextuales que citan hechos, 1 “Libro asombroso, que nos transporta a las antípodas de nuestros antiguoas parape- tos”, dice Eric Deschodt en Valuers Actuelles (6/12 de abril, 19960). Para Jean-Luc Coatelem es un libro “feroz”, “empapado de una opaca poesía siempre inquietante” (Figaro Magazi- ne, marzo 16, 1996). Pierre Sempé opina que es una novela “ardiente y sangrienta, fogosa y fantástica”, en la que el lector comparte con los personajes dudas e interrogacioes (Etudes, abril, 1996). Manns compartió con John Berger y Pierre Peju el Grand Prix Rhone-Alpes del mejor libro, en la categoría de literatura, del año 1996. -
