Empire Of Deceit Vol 1

For years, one of the largest charter school networks operating in the United States has secretly concealed their affiliation with the controversial Turkish imam Fethullah G�len.Now, their activity has come under greater public attention. A pattern of hidden agendas, phony real estate practices, self-dealing among their own vendors, inflated kickbacks, and rampant abuse of visa programs are just some of the practices uncovered by following investigation into the G�len schools operating in 28 different states.The Republic of Turkey engaged Amsterdam & Partners LLP to conduct a comprehensive accounting of all G�lenist-controlled charter schools within the U.S. to document the breadth and scope of the G�lenist network. Through this investigation, Amsterdam & Partners ultimately uncovered an extensive nationwide network of G�lenists, charter schools, charter management corporations, educational foundations, real estate companies, school vendors, and G�lenist cultural associations working together to exploit the American charter school model to orchestrate large-scale private profit at the public's expense. This abuse negatively impacts the quality of education delivered to some of the country's most vulnerable communities, and creates a poisonous political environment. What follows are the results of a rigorous examination of public records. These are the facts we must consider, with the hope that a much-needed debate will follow.

In Imaginary Empires, Maria O’Malley examines early American texts published between 1767 and 1867 whose narratives represent women’s engagement in the formation of empire. Her analysis unearths a variety of responses to contact, exchange, and cohabitation in the early United States, stressing the possibilities inherent in the literary to foster participation, resignification, and rapprochement. New readings of The Female American, Leonora Sansay’s Secret History, Catharine Maria Sedgwick’s Hope Leslie, Lydia Maria Child’s A Romance of the Republic, and Harriet Jacobs’s Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl confound the metaphors of ghosts, haunting, and amnesia that proliferate in many recent studies of early US literary history. Instead, as O’Malley shows, these writings foreground acts of foundational violence involved in the militarization of domestic spaces, the legal impediments to the transfer of property and wealth, and the geopolitical standing of the United States. Racialized and gendered figures in the texts refuse to die, leave, or stay silent. In imagining different kinds of futures, these writers reckon with the ambivalent role of women in empire-building as they negotiate between their own subordinate position in society and their exertion of sovereignty over others. By tracing a thread of virtual history found in works by women, Imaginary Empires explores how reflections of the past offer a means of shaping future sociopolitical formations.

Showcasing texts by Portuguese and Luso-Brazilian authors, this volume demonstrates the wealth of the political thought of early modern Portugal and its empire. Gathering together important texts on social order, government, and politics by authors who made a significant contribution to the development of early modern Portugal, it demonstrates that Portugal was the setting for vibrant political debate, often shaped by, and emerging in response to, very particular assumptions, circumstances, and concerns. Combining a chronological approach with in-depth thematic sections, the book explores how some controversies that took place in Portugal centred on themes similar to those in other European countries, while others were linked to the specific nature and history of the Portuguese monarchy and its interactions with other polities. It thus offers an overview of the main debates on politics and government and contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the multifaceted history of European political ideas.
