News GUAM From: Cherie Walth SWCA Environmental Consultants, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Email: [email protected] Subject: Brief Discussion of the Results from the Agana Bridge Project, Guam The Agana Bridge project for the Department of Public Works, Guam, is located along Route 1 from the intersection of Route 4 eastward to the intersection of Route 8, and south along Route 8 for 120 m (394 feet). The study area has been extensively disturbed in historic to modern times, with WWII bombing, channelization of the Agana River, construction of Route 1/Route 8, and the installation of utilities along the roadway. Despite the extensive past disturbance that had impacted the cultural deposits in the area, the project area still retains undisturbed cultural deposits. Fieldwork commenced June 28, 2012, and ended on April 11, 2014. The nearly 2 years of fieldwork included monitoring of ground disturbance below the base course of the roadway, hand excavation of four control units, excavation of 19 non-burial features, and excavation of 65 field-identified human burials.

  • The Making of Political Forests in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh: the State, Development and Indigeneity
    THE MAKING OF POLITICAL FORESTS IN THE CHITTAGONG HILL TRACTS, BANGLADESH: THE STATE, DEVELOPMENT AND INDIGENEITY KHAIRUL CHOWDHURY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES OF YORK UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO APRIL 2014 © Khairul Chowdhury 2014 Abstract This dissertation offers an anthropological and genealogical account of forests and social forestry, in particular the way they came to be constituted over time in one particular social- ecological context of Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), Bangladesh. It draws on ethnographic fieldwork to examine how discourses of forest and forest relations in CHT since British rule have changed and shaped agrarian relations of the hill peoples and their relations to power. As such, this dissertation explores forest history in relation to an ‘ethnically’ different and ‘small group’ of population living within a nation-state so as to understand how nature/environment is constituted as a terrain of governmental power, subject formation, and state building. The analysis is informed by Michel Foucault’s ideas of discourse, power and knowledge; Peter Vandergeest’s and Nancy Peluso’s theory of territorialization and political forests; K. Sivaramakrishnan’s critical work on the production of colonial state, society, and knowledge in a forested region of colonial Bengal, and Tania Li’s and Arun Agrawal’s theoretical and ethnographic work on governmentality, indigenous communities, and resource struggles. The chapters of this dissertation are organized around the political regimes of Britain, Pakistan and Bangladesh, highlighting continuities and discontinuities in the making and remaking of political forests.

  • {PDF EPUB} ~Download Beyond Blame How We Can Succeed By
    {Read} {PDF EPUB} ~download Beyond Blame How We Can Succeed by Breaking the Dependency Barrier by Armstrong Williams The "talking head": with the "paid-mouthpiece" episode behind him, Armstrong Williams plans a book. That was put on hold when Williams became the focal point of a scandal in January 2005; revelations were made that he and other political commentators were paid by the Bush administration to promote the No Child Left Behind grade-school law. Williams received $240,000. "The book," said Williams in an August telephone interview, "was delayed until after the controversy, which is a good thing . I've grown exponentially. Before, I was a mouthpiece for the Republican Party. This book is more of an evolution of Armstrong Williams." Williams, 45, is a widely circulated Op-Ed columnist and Sunday TV talk show guest. He acknowledged during the storm that it was no surprise that media outlets and news consumers were distressed after learning he promoted a government policy as a paid messenger, and then opined about it without disclosing his financial interest. "I wanted to do it, that is, promote No Child Left Behind," Williams told USA Today, "because it's something I believe in." The Tribune Company canceled his Op-Ed column syndication deal last winter in response to the news. In August, the National Association of Black Journalists announced that Williams was the 2005 "Thumbs Down" award winner for dubious achievement. His book, The New Racists, is scheduled for February 2006 release by Eagle Publishing Co., an imprint of Regnery Publishing, said publicist Patricia Jackson.

  • Rock ‘N’ Roll, Social Change and Democratisation in Bangladesh
    Rock ‘n’ Roll, social change and democratisation in Bangladesh blogs.lse.ac.uk/southasia/2015/12/04/rock-n-roll-social-change-and-democratisation-in-bangladesh/ 2015-12-4 Mubashar Hasan argues that in order to resist increasing radicalism in Bangladeshi society, the state needs to promote cultural alternatives which support values of inclusion and moderation such as Bangladeshi Rock ‘n’ Roll music. The birth of Bangladesh as an independent country in 1971 following a nine-month long bloody war against Pakistan was premised upon its struggle for democracy. When Awami League (AL) won a 160 seats out of 162 seats in East Pakistan during 1970’s general election, the West Pakistani government refused to hand over power to AL. This escalated into a war of independence and Bangladesh was born in 1971. Democracy and secularism, alongside socialism and nationalism, constituted the four pillars of the new nation state. Three million lives were sacrificed in the struggle to establish Bangladesh as an independent democratic state. However, Bangladesh’s tragedy is that despite of its repeated constitutional commitments for secularism and democracy, in 2015, almost 44 years after the independence the country is neither democratic nor secular. In an article published in 2014 Dr Ali Riaz, Professor of Politics at Illinois State University, argues that Bangladesh remains stubbornly beset by democratic deficiencies as its performance in electoral competitiveness, democratic quality, press freedom, religious freedom, civil liberties and the rule of law is well below what is accepted in a democratic country.
