Narrating Violence in the Postcolonial World - Original PDF
Narrating Violence in the Postcolonial World - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Rebecca Romdhani, Daria Tunca خلاصه: This book examines representations of violence across the postcolonial world—from the Americas to Australia—in novels, short stories, plays, and films. The chapters move from what appear to be interpersonal instances of violence to communal conflicts such as civil war, showing how these acts of violence are specifically rooted in colonial forms of abuse and oppression but constantly move and morph. Taking its cue from theories in such fields as postcolonial, violence, gender, and trauma studies, the book thus shows that violence is slippery in form, but also fluid in nature, so that one must trace its movement across time and space to understand even a single instance of it. When analysing such forms and trajectories of violence in postcolonial creative writing and films, the contributors critically examine the ethical issues involved in narrating abuse, depicting violated bodies, and presenting romanticized resolutions that may conceal other forms of violence.

The Political Economy of the Interior Gold Coast: The Asante and the Era of Legitimate Trading, 1807–1875 - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Jarvis L. Hargrove خلاصه: This book analyzes the Gold Coast and the Asante kingdom in the years following the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade and prior to the start of colonial rule. The Asante state, one of the largest in the Gold Coast and West Africa after the eighteenth century is the central focus of this work. Studying their transition from a large scale supplier of captives to the transatlantic slave trade to traders in legitimate goods is a critical component that should be analyzed across West Africa. This work highlights the political and economic relationships between the interior Asante state with surrounding African groups and Europeans, chiefly British traders who entered the region in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Handbook of multi-commodity markets and products: structuring, trading and risk management - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Roncoroni, Andrea خلاصه: Introduction It is only three years since this book was first published, and the need for a new edition after such a short space of time is an indication of how much the world has changed in the mean- time. The financial crisis began to unfold when the book was just six months old, and the resulting credit crunch, together with a fall in both earnings and valuation multiples, has had a profound effect on the Buyout industry, particularly so in the case of the mega funds. In the flight to liquidity which followed, many fund investors found themselves in what came to be dubbed ‘ Cash 22 ’ , needing to meet Capital Calls yet unable to generate the cash with which to do so from supposedly liquid assets. We will examine just what went wrong here, and note the potential buying opportunity which this represents in the secondary market
Trading with the Ottomans: The Levant Company in the Middle East - Original PDF
Trading with the Ottomans: The Levant Company in the Middle East - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Trading with the Ottomans: The Levant Company in the Middle East خلاصه: Trade is the engine of history, and the acceleration in what scholars call 'globalism' from the beginning of the last millennium has been driven by communities interacting with each other through commerce and exchange. The Ottoman Empire was a trading partner that spanned the globe, and was therefore the primary link between the West and the Middle East in the 15th to the 19th century. The Levant Company traded British manufacturing with the Ottomans for two centuries, hiring de facto ambassadors, locals, explorers and adventurers and tradesmen. It set up 'factories' (trading posts) across the Ottoman lands and traded skins, textiles, crafts and spices. Here Vlami Despina focuses on the company's long decline - utilizing new archival research she unpicks this crucial partnership and assesses it's important to the modern world.

نویسندگان: Michael Halls Moore خلاصه: Whether the systematic rules codied by the strategy actually produce a consistent return and whether the strategy possesses positive performance in the backtests. ˆ Whether a strategy maintains this positive performance in a live implementation or whether it needs to be retired. ˆ The ability to compare multiple strategies/portfolios such that we can reduce the opportu- nity cost associated with allocating a limited amount of trading capital. The particular items of quantitative analysis of performance that we will be interested in are as follows: ˆ Returns - The most visible aspect of a trading strategy concerns the percentage gain since inception, either in a backtest or a live trading environment. The two major performance measures here are Total Return and Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). ˆ Drawdowns - A drawdown is a period of negative performance, as dened from a prior high-water mark, itself dened as the previous highest peak on a strategy or portfolio equity curve. We will dene this more concretely below, but you can think of it for now as a (somewhat painful!) downward slope on your performance chart. ˆ Risk - Risk comprises many areas, and we'll spend signicant time going over them in the following chapter, but generally it refers to both risk of capital loss, such as with drawdowns, and volatility of returns. The latter usually being calculated as an annualised standard deviation of returns. ˆ Risk/Reward Ratio - Institutional investors are mainly interested with risk-adjusted returns. Since higher volatility can often lead to higher returns at the expense of greate
