English | ISBN: 0752464116 | 2016 | 368 pages | EPUB | 16 MB
'Who is the enemy?' This is the question most asked in modern warfare; gone are the set-piece conventional battles of the past. Once seen as secondary to more traditional conflicts, irregular warfare (as modified and refashioned since the 1990s) now presents a major challenge to the state and the bureaucratic institutions which have dominated the twentieth century, and to the politicians and civil servants who formulate policy.Twenty-first-century conflict is dominated by counterinsurgency operations, where the enemy is almost indistinguishable from innocent civilians. Battles are gunfights in jungles, deserts and streets; winning 'hearts and minds' is as important as holding territory. From struggles in South Africa, the Philippines and Ireland to operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and Chechnya, this book covers the strategy and doctrine of counterinsurgency, and the factors which ensure whether such operations are successful or not. Recent ignorance of central principles and the emergence of social media, which has shifted the odds in favour of the insurgent, have too often resulted in failure, leaving governments and their security forces embedded in a hostile population, immersed in costly and dangerous nation-building.

Free Download Digital Black Feminism By Catherine Knight Steele
2021 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 1479808385 | PDF | 2 MB
Traces the longstanding relationship between technology and Black feminist thought Black women are at the forefront of some of this centurys most important discussions about technology: trolling, online harassment, algorithmic bias, and influencer culture. But, Catherine Knight Steele argues that Black womens relationship to technology began long before the advent of Twitter or Instagram. To truly listen to Black women, Steele points to the history of Black feminist technoculture in the United States and its ability to decenter white supremacy and patriarchy in a conversation about the future of technology. Using the virtual beauty shop as a metaphor, Digital Black Feminism walks readers through the technical skill, communicative expertise, and entrepreneurial acumen of Black womens laborborn of survival strategies and economic necessityboth on and offline. Positioning Black women at the center of our discourse about the past, present, and future of technology, Steele offers a through\-line from the writing of early twentieth\-century Black women to the bloggers and social media mavens of the twenty\-first century. She makes connections among the letters, news articles, and essays of Black feminist writers of the past and a digital archive of blog posts, tweets, and Instagram stories of some of the most well\-known Black feminist writers of our time. Linking narratives and existing literature about Black womens technology use in the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty\-first century, Digital Black Feminism traverses the bounds between historical and archival analysis and empirical internet studies, forcing a reconciliation between fields and methods that are not always in conversation. As the work of Black feminist writers now reaches its widest audience online, Steele offers both hopefulness and caution on the implications of Black feminism becoming a digital product.
