Coetzee, Diary of a Bad Year (2007) In 1825, the Russian Tsar Nicholas I suppressed an uprising of 3,000 army ofcers against his assumption of the throne, following its surprising renunciation by his brother Constantine. Te members of the group in which the revolt was seeded, called simply the “Decembrists” in what is considered a defning event of the Russian intelligentsia’s formation, divided their aims across two main factions: the moderate Northerners sought a constitutional monarchy and the serfs’ liberation, while a more radical Southern contingent sought the end of the monarchy and mass redistribution of land.1 Tsar Nicholas’s response was more direct. Beset by logistical mishaps over a day-long stand- of, the Decembrists eventually faced open fre by around 9,000 tsarist troops. Many of the rebels were shot and then dumped in Saint Petersburg’s icy Neva River, and those who survived were executed, lashed, or exiled to Siberia.2 It is a story of tragic proportions, chronicled most famously in the poetry of Alexander Pushkin, the so-called Father of Russian Literature. In the background of this lofy act of rebellion, though, is a macabre fecklessness that infects Russia’s legacy no less than its nobler aspects do.

    Cambridge University Press 0521835232 - Hypocrisy and the Politics of Politeness: Manners and Morals from Locke to Austen Jenny Davidson Frontmatter More information HYPOCRISY AND THE POLITICS OF POLITENESS In Hypocrisy and the Politics of Politeness, Jenny Davidson considers the arguments that define hypocrisy as a moral and political virtue in its own right. She shows that these were arguments that thrived in the medium of eighteenth-century Britain’s culture of politeness. In the debate about the balance between truthfulness and politeness, Davidson argues that eighteenth-century writers from Locke to Austen come down firmly on the side of politeness. This is the case even when it is associated with dissimulation or hypocrisy. These writers argue that the open profession of vice is far more dangerous for society than even the most glaring discrepancies between what people say in public and what they do in private. This book explores what happens when controversial arguments in favor of hypocrisy enter the mainstream, making it increasingly hard to tell the difference between hypocrisy and more obviously attractive qualities like modesty, self-control and tact. jenny davidson is Assistant Professor of English and Compara- tive Literature at Columbia University. She has published articles in Studies in Eighteenth-Century Culture and Studies in Romanticism. She is the author of a novel, Heredity (2003). © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 0521835232 - Hypocrisy and the Politics of Politeness: Manners

  • Zimbabwe Community COP20
    COMMUNITY COP20 ZIMBABWE COMMUNITY PRIORITIES PEPFAR COUNTRY OPERATIONAL PLAN 2020 Introduction Civil society and people living with and affected by HIV in Zimbabwe appreciate the increased PEPFAR budget support in COP20 by US$63m. Zimbabwe remains committed to ending HIV/AIDS by 2030 despite its current social, economic and political challenges. While Zimbabwe is celebrated for achieving more with less, the operating environment has deteriorated significantly over the past 12 months. Power outage, cash and fuel shortages have made project implementation costly and unsustainable. Throughout this period, disbursements to health remained unpredictable and below budget allocation with just over 80% of the budget allocated being disbursed. In 2018, 64% of the Government of Zimbabwe (GOZ) budget allocation for Ministry of Health and Child Care (MoHCC) was for salaries according to the Resource Mapping Report, 20191. This leaves the larger burden of important health system components (e.g. commodity needs and distribution, laboratory sample transportation, and health facility operational costs, etc.) in the hands of external funding from donors.

Princeton NJ: Princeton University Press, 2010. 189 pp. (Cloth US$ 19.95) COLIN DAYAN Department of English Vanderbilt University Nashville TN 37235, U.S.A. <[email protected]> In her response to a February 2011 exchange in Small Axe, Edwidge Danticat writes: “Absolute certainty is perhaps at the center of activism, but ambiva- lence is at the heart of art, where gray areas abound and nuance thrives.” What strikes me most in all of her writing is the grace attendant upon terror, her ability to reorient our understanding of the political. As I write, hundreds of people are being evicted from camps in Delmas, a neighborhood northeast of downtown Port-au-Prince. With machetes, knives, and batons, the police slashed, tore, and destroyed tents, the makeshift refuge of those displaced by the earthquake. Now, at the start of the hurricane season, amid heavy rains, those already dispossessed are penalized and thrust again into harm’s way. How, then, to write about Haiti – and refrain from anger? Create Danger­ ously dares readers to know the unspeakable. But what makes it remarkable is that the dare only works because Danticat is ever tasking herself to know, confront, and ultimately – and unbelievably – create, in spite of examples of greed, fanaticism, and cruelty.
