University of Otago Press
Adventures In Democracy Description: This text was initiated by the Electoral Commission to mark the 150th anniversary of New Zealand`s first parliamentary elections, held in 1853. Atkinson (the History Group, Ministry for Culture and Heritage) examines the historical evolution of the electoral system in New Zealand, and its central role in shaping New Zealand`s self-image as a democratic social laboratory. He analyzes the transplantation of the British model of parliamentary government, its adaptation to meet the challenges of a new society, and the ways in which the development of the New Zealand system has been influenced by regionalism, personality, ideology, race, class, gender and party politics. Illustrated with 100-plus b&w photographs, cartoons and poster reproductions. Distributed by ISBS. Annotation 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknewsCom)...

"Anti-semitism" from: AUD$65.99
PALGRAVE MACMILLAN
Anti-semitism Description: Since the 9 - 11 - 01 attacks on America, anti-Semitism has been on the rise, its roots firmly anchored in centuries-old prejudices. Schweitzer and Perry analyze the lies, misperceptions, and myths about Jews and Judaism that have been spread throughout the centuries. Beginning in antiquity and continuing into the present day, the authors explore major anti-Semitic themes: Jews as murderers of Christ; Jews as both evil capitalists and evil communists; the myth of the Holocaust; and the Nation of Islam’s hatred of the Jews. This is an eye-opening piece of work that, sadly, is still needed today.... Read More about the "Anti-semitism" on the The Nile Book Store Website
