The World Bank will soon be publishing its 2011 World Development Report, on “Conflict, Development, and Security.” If you want a preview of the thrust of the volume, check out theinteresting blog the Bank launched earlier this year to provide a window into the process of producing the report. (They’ve also got a Facebook page, if you’re into that sort of thing.)
Our new issue features a series of articles and a dossier, with a moving and thought-provoking set of materials organized by Jean-Philippe Dedieu on Mohamedou Slahi’s imprisonment and Guantánamo photography in between. Our articles revisit U.S. citizenship law and what the memory wars around the Rape of Nanking involved; our dossier provides a series of essays that review Swedish economist Gunnar Myrdal’s major works over what was a much-noticed and revealing twentieth-century career.
