Description:Civilized Rebels compares in depth four very well-known literary and political figures, all of whom opposed arrogant regimes and became prisoners. Through comparative biographies of Oscar Wilde, Jean Am�ry, Nelson Mandela and Aung San Suu Kyi, it explores the long-term process of the retreat of the West from global hegemony since the late nineteenth century. Drawing on rich empirical materials to examine themes of forced displacement, war, poverty, imprisonment and the threat of humiliation, the book reveals how the highly civilized rebels that form its subjects all had empathetic insights into the mind-sets of their opponents and a sophisticated understanding of how their own struggles fitted into the larger world picture. Methodologically innovative, Civilized Rebels will appeal to scholars across a range of disciplines, with interests in globalization, historical international relations, postcolonial and subaltern studies, and historical sociology.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
