Israel/Palestine (1948-2008): From the 'Red House' to the Siege of Gaza. Part 1: "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" by the Israeli historian Ilan Pappe.
Torture and the Twilight of Empire: from Algiers to Baghdad by Marnia Lazreg, professor of sociology at Hunter College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. "When empire is in decline, does the use of torture, or the motivations behind it, change? For Marnia Lazreg, what the French colonial forces did to people in Algeria during that nation's war of independence in the 1950s speaks volumes about the relationship between torture, power, empire, and even democracy. Lazreg also draws parallels between French colonial conduct then and US military conduct today." Part of an interview broadcast by Against the Grain on Pacifica Radio.
