Deux peuples se déchirent depuis bientôt quarante ans pour obtenir préséance sur une région commune en Palestine. les uns l'appellent la Cisjordanie, les autres, la Judée-Samarie. Cette région appartient-elle aux Juifs ou aux Palestiniens ? L'importance de cette question ne réside pas tant dans sa réponse que dans la compréhension des enjeux entourant la colonisation juive de la Cisjordanie. Tel est l'objet de cette étude, un groupuscule précis au sein de la tendance sioniste religieuse qui proclame haut et fort l'appartenance de la Judée-Samarie au peuple juif.

Part detective story, part biography, this is the fascinating tale of Hilmar and Odette, both born illegitimately in Germany before the Second World War, both half-Jewish, both brought up by "Aryan" families. Eric Koch, having discovered that his well-to-do family has two skeletons in the closet (Odette is his half-sister and Hilmar is his step-cousin), embarks on a search into his family history and into the very different fates of these two "Half-Jews" who grew into adults as the Nazi party came to power. Hilmar's adoptive mother discovers he is a Jew, and (despite his being a dutiful, even loving, son) when the opportunity arises denounces him to the Gestapo. Hilmar's increasingly desperate attempts to escape deportation and stay with the woman with whom he has fallen in love prove futile. He finally falls victim to the machinery of oppression and is sent to Auschwitz. By contrast, Odette, never suspecting that she is part-Jewish, ascends the social ladder and comes to hobnob with the Nazi boheme in her Berlin salon. To ingratiate himself with the right people, her publisher husband dreams up new forms of propaganda to help the Nazi cause. Hilmar and Odette's parallel stories advance in step through this book, each casting light on the other. And around the fringes of their lives move the spectres of Napoleon, Joseph Goebbels, and Lili Marleen. The narrator's detective tale becomes a third story, as he probes his family's past and explores the shadowy territory where personal uncertainties and frailties meet the implacable sophistry of Nazi ideology.
Carlos Taibo
Ideas como las de autogestión, democracia directa y apoyo mutuo han sido defendidas tanto por el anarquismo que vio la luz en la Europa del siglo XIX como por muchos pueblos indígenas que espontáneamente las han llevado a la práctica desde tiempo inmemorial. Este libro estudia la relación entre esos dos mundos, y lo hace con la voluntad de alentar, en paralelo, una definitiva descolonización del propio pensamiento anarquista. Sirve como introducción, también, a la realidad, comúnmente olvidada, de los anarquismos que adquirieron carta de naturaleza en América, África, Asia y Oceanía.
Martyn Housden
What was the relationship between ordinary Germans and Hitler's government? Why did such a dreadful political system find any popular support at all? Who was brave enough to defy the laws of the Third Reich? This book examines decisions made by different social groups to resist or conform to the Nazi regime. Using accessible language, and drawing on the full range of sources available to historians, Martyn Housden adopts a thematic approach to the subject. He considers, for example, why church-goers failed to reject decisively Hitler's atheistic political movement; what impact the persecution of Germany's Jewish citizens had on the everyday lives of other Germans; why the Hitler Youth held such appeal for young people.
