This is the story of the struggle that went on inside the US government over how to respond to far-flung challenges such as genocide in Rwanda and Bosnia, and brutal ethnic wars and failed states in other parts of the world.As the chief human rights official of the Clinton Administration, John Shattuck faced far-flung challenges. Disasters were exploding simultaneously--genocide in Rwanda and Bosnia, murder and atrocities in Haiti, repression in China, brutal ethnic wars, and failed states in other parts of the world. But America was mired in conflicting priorities and was reluctant to act. What were Shattuck and his allies to do? This is the story of their struggle inside the U.S. government over how to respond. Shattuck tells what was tried and what was learned as he and other human rights hawks worked to change the Clinton Administration's human rights policy from disengagement to saving lives and bringing war criminals to justice. He records his frustrations and disappointments, as well as the successes achieved in moving human rights to the center of U.S. foreign policy. Shattuck was at the heart of the action. He was the first official to interview the survivors of Srebrenica. He confronted Milosevic in Belgrade. He was a key player in bringing the leaders of genocide in Bosnia and Rwanda to justice. He pushed from the inside for an American response to the crisis of the Haitian boat people. He pressed for the release of political prisoners in China. His book is both an insider's account and a detailed prescription for preventing such wars in the future. Shattuck criticizes the Bush Administration's approach, which he says undermines human rights at home and around the world. He argues that human rights wars are breeding grounds for terrorism. Freedom on Fire describes the shifting challenges of global leadership in a world of explosive hatreds and deepening inequalities.Human rightsPolitics and GovernmenteflchGovernment policyUnited StatesLaw, Politics & GovernmentHILCCHuman RightsHILCCUnited StatesForeign relations1993-2001United StatesForeign relations2001-2009Electronic books.lcshHuman rightsPolitics and Government.Government policyLaw, Politics & GovernmentHuman Rights327.73009049Shattuck John H.

Rutgers University Pressc20111 online resource (260 p.)Critical issues in health and medicineDescription based upon print version of record.0-8135-5016-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.Food for thought -- Why your child is hyperactive -- Feingold goes public -- The problem with hyperactivity -- "Food just isn't what it used to be" -- The Feingold diet in the media -- Testing the Feingold diet -- Feingold families.In 1973, San Francisco allergist Ben Feingold created an uproar by claiming that synthetic food additives triggered hyperactivity, then the most commonly diagnosed childhood disorder in the United States. He contended that the epidemic should not be treated with drugs such as Ritalin but, instead, with a food additive-free diet. Parents and the media considered his treatment, the Feingold diet, a compelling alternative. Physicians, however, were skeptical and designed dozens of trials to challenge the idea. The resulting medical opinion was that the diet did not work and it was rejected. Matthew Smith asserts that those scientific conclusions were, in fact, flawed. An Alternative History of Hyperactivity explores the origins of the Feingold diet, revealing why it became so popular, and the ways in which physicians, parents, and the public made decisions about whether it was a valid treatment for hyperactivity. Arguing that the fate of Feingold's therapy depended more on cultural, economic, and political factors than on the scientific protocols designed to test it, Smith suggests the lessons learned can help resolve medical controversies more effectively.Critical issues in health and medicine.Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorderNutritional aspectsAttention-deficit hyperactivity disorderDiet therapyAttention-deficit hyperactivity disorderHistoryFood additivesToxicologyAttention-deficit hyperactivity disorderNutritional aspects.Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorderDiet therapy.Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorderHistory.Food additivesToxicology.618.92/8589Smith Matthew1973-1501099MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779090803321An alternative history of hyperactivity3844689UNINA02421oam 22004813- 450 991028793370332120251116174036.010.31394/kriterium.11(CKB)4100000006999980(OAPEN)1001619(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/28426(EXLCZ)99410000000699998020190205d2018 uy 0sweuuuuu---auuuutxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierTid att städaGothenburgKriterium20181 online resource (248)91-7775-002-0 "Cleaning is central to all societies. It is an experience shared by almost everyone. A clean home is related to both respectability and status. The mere execution of the deed – whether it concerns taking care of other peoples’ dirt or ones’ own – ranks, however, strikingly low, contaminating everyone who has to perform it. Therefore, cleaning is permeated by hierarchies of for instance gender, class, sexuality and race. Even though cleaning activates several existential and politically burning questions, it is surprisingly non-existing in research. The point of departure for this study is anthropological, and the material is a number of interviews with Swedes of today about their habits and experiences of cleaning. In focus are questions of cleaning as a cultural symbol, a bodily practice, temporality, and as an expression of taking care of decay. By investigating the meaning of what cleaning means to people – how it is experienced, organized, and distributed in everyday life – I want to discuss how such a central part of our existence is regarded as something that lacks value."Literature & literary studiesbicsscHumanitiesbicsscSociety & social sciencesbicsscUmU kursbokFeministpoliticsIntersectionalityQueertemporalitytheoryCareworkLiterature & literary studiesHumanitiesSociety & social sciencesAmbjörnsson Fannyaut915699BOOK9910287933703321Tid att städa2052732UNINA
