The aim of this book is to examine and analyse the events that set the country on fire for several weeks. The situation has largely stabilised since April 2008, when the articles collected in this book were first individually published. Some political information has been updated post April 2008. The coalition government took shape with Mwai Kibaki remaining President while Raila Odinga became the Prime Minister. The country however remains in suspense, as do the donors who had made it possible for Kenya to restore a semblance of peace. 606 $aElections$zKenya 606 $aPolitical violence$zKenya 607 $aKenya$xPolitics and government$y2002- 615 0$aElections 615 0$aPolitical violence 676 $a967.62 701 $aLafargue$b Jerome$0661747 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961801103321 996 $aThe general elections in Kenya, 2007$94341585 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01289nam0 22002531i 450 001 UON00403984 005 20231205104709.630 100 $a20120126d1952 |0itac50 ba 101 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $a|||| ||||| 200 1 $aAtti del congresso di studi etnografici italiani$eNapoli dal 16 al 20 settembre 1952$esotto l'Alto Patronato del Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione$fEnte Autonomo Mostra d'Oltremare e del Lavoro Italiano nel Mondo$gpresidente Raffaele Corso 210 $aNapoli$cPironti e Figli$d1952 215 $a590 p.$d24 cm. 606 $aItalia$xEtnografia$3UONC080392$2FI 620 $aIT$dNapoli$3UONL000012 710 02$aEnte Autonomo Mostra d'Oltremare e del Lavoro Italiano nel Mondo$3UONV206126$0211391 712 $aPironti Raffaele e Figli$3UONV268600$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20250808$gRICA 912 $aUON00403984 950 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$dSI B H 0284 bis $eSI MR 38779 5 0284 bis $sBuono 950 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$dSI B H 0284 $eSI MR 38466 5 0284 $sBuono 996 $aAtti del congresso di studi etnografici italiani$91344882 997 $aUNIOR LEADER 04746nam 22006254a 450 001 9910971521603321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9780231502467 010 $a023150246X 024 7 $a10.7312/hsi-12852 035 $a(CKB)111087026932556 035 $a(EBL)909023 035 $a(OCoLC)818856536 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000122670 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11143264 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000122670 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10130954 035 $a(PQKB)11154038 035 $a(DE-B1597)458952 035 $a(OCoLC)979904161 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780231502467 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL909023 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10183460 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31756310 035 $a(Perlego)775742 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC909023 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111087026932556 100 $a20020620d2003 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||#|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe city trilogy $eFive jade disks, Defenders of the Dragon City, Tale of a feather /$fChang Hsi-kuo ; translated from the Chinese by John Balcom 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aNew York $cColumbia University Press$dc2003 215 $a1 online resource (407 pages) $cmaps 225 1 $aModern Chinese literature from Taiwan 311 08$a9780231128520 311 08$a0231128525 327 $tFront matter --$tCONTENTS --$tTRANSLATOR' S PREFACE /$rHsi-Kuo, Chang / Science Fiction In Taiwan --$tACKNOWLEDGMENTS --$t1.

TALE OF A FEATHER 330 $aTaiwan's most innovative science fiction writer presents three tales of intrigue, espionage, betrayal, political strife, time travel, and Chinese history and mysticism. After thousands of years of civil unrest and countless wars, the weary Huhui people of Sunlon City have once again succumbed to a ruthless and overpowering enemy. In Five Jade Disks, the first book in the trilogy, the imperialistic Shan have enslaved the inhabitants of Sunlon City and imposed a harsh martial order. As the Shan fight to retain control of the restless Huhui natives, an unstable rebel alliance prepares to win back its homeland. Amidst the confusion of revolt, Miss Qi, a determined young girl, emerges as an unlikely leader. With the help of her friends and the loyal Green Snake Brotherhood, Miss Qi discovers that an ancient cult and its insidious and unusually powerful leader may hold the key to the rebels' victory-or may yet be the cause of their undoing. As she rushes to put the pieces together, the rebels, divided by internal factions, strive to band together in a heroic attempt to overthrow the Shan. The story continues in Defenders of the Dragon City. The Shan have been defeated, but the victory celebrations of the Huhui are quickly brought to an end. After deserting Sunlon City, the Shan regroup and return for one final and bitter attempt to destroy the weakened rebel forces. During their exile, the Shan turn their aggressions against the indigenous races of the Huhui planet, a colorful mix of peaceful tribes resembling serpents, eagles, and leopards. Forced into the war to save their remaining territory, the indigenous peoples join the Huhui in their continuing struggle against the Shan. The third novel, Tale of a Feather, opens with images of chaos and devastation. The conflict with the Shan has left the city in flames, and refugees are fleeing in droves through the main gates. Taking advantage of the turmoil, a ruthless dictator assumes control of the weak interim government and begins a treacherous campaign to eliminate his adversaries. In this volatile atmosphere, Miss Qi continues her desperate search to discover the origin of the mysterious Bronze Statue Cult and come to terms with the dark power it wields over her people. The trilogy, first published in Taiwan in the late 1980's and early 1990's and widely considered to be a modern classic, is now presented for the first time in English and in a single volume. In these allegorical tales, Chang confronts some of the most serious and divisive issues of our time, including the burden of history and the ravages of oppression, racism, and ethnic displacement. 410 0$aModern Chinese literature from Taiwan. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / General$2bisacsh 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / General. 676 $a895.1/352 700 $aChang$b S.
