Freedom Civil

1800 से 1925 ई. के मध्य, भील क्षेत्रों के लगभग दो सौ से अधिक भील मुखियाओं का संघर्ष कभी प्रकाश में नहीं आया था। खानदेश, मध्यभारत और महाराष्ट्र के ज्यादातर भील विद्रोह अछूते रह गए थे। 1857 के विद्रोह का जिक्र करते समय काजी सिंह, भीमा नायक, भागोजी, पुत्ता सिंह, मवासिया, खाला नायक, दुलार सिंह, सीताराम बावा, रघुनाथ सिंह मंडलोई, भोमिया बिसेन सिंह और कालू बाबा आदि के योगदान को भुला दिया गया था। एक दमित, अशिक्षित और प्रताड़ित समाज के संघर्षमय इतिहास की यह अनदेखी वाकई में चिंता का कारण इसलिए भी है कि भीलों ने देशहित में कभी पीठ न दिखाई।

Arrested in 1962 as South Africa's apartheid regime intensified its brutal campaign against political opponents, 44-year-old lawyer and African National Congress activist Nelson Mandela had no idea that he would spend the next 27 years in jail.

Now, 255 of these letters, a majority of which were previously unpublished, provide the most intimate portrait of Mandela since Long Walk to Freedom.

From Professor Lynn Hunt comes this extraordinary cultural and intellectual history, which traces the roots of human rights to the rejection of torture as a means for finding the truth.

One of the most notorious crimes during the Civil Rights Movement was the murder of three civil rights workers in Philadelphia, Mississippi in June 1964. Occurring less than two weeks before the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, the young volunteers were killed because they had come south to help register blacks to vote, a right they had been unfairly denied for over half a century thanks to Jim Crow. The shocking nature of the crimes galvanized people and helped bring about the kinds of changes the murderers sought to prevent.
