An American Rabbi in Korea
By: Rosen, Milton J.; Rosen, Stanley R. (trans.)
Published by: The University of Alabama Press

A firsthand account of the American Jewish experience on the frontlines. During the height of the Korean conflict, 1950-51, Orthodox Jewish chaplain Milton J. Rosen wrote 19 feature-length articles for Der Morgen Zhornal, a Yiddish daily in New York, documenting his wartime experiences as well as those of the servicemen under his care. Rosen was among those nearly caught in the Chinese entrapment of American and Allied forces in North Korea in late 1950, and some of his most poignant writing details the trying circumstances that faced both soldiers and civilians during that time. As chaplain, Rosen was able to offer a unique account of the American Jewish experience on the frontlines and in the United States military while also describing the impact of the American presence on Korean citizens and their culture. His interest in Korean attitudes toward Jews is also a significant theme within these articles. Stanley R. Rosen has translated his father's articles into English and provides background on Milton Rosen's military service before and after the Korean conflict. He presents an introductory overview of the war and includes helpful maps and photographs. The sum is a readable account of war and its turmoil from an astute and compassionate observer. "Chaplain Rosen's thoughts about his experience at the front in Korea reveal how little has changed in basic human life vis-a-vis warfare. You can feel the uncertainty, the fear, the physical discomfort, the military inanities, and the drama of civilians caught up in dislocation."—Richard M. Budd, author of Serving Two Masters: The Development of American Military Chaplaincy Milton J. Rosen, born in Lithuania in 1906, studied in Jerusalem and settled in Chicago where he was ordained rabbi in 1929. After 19 years as a practicing Orthodox rabbi, he was called up for military chaplaincy and served several tours of duty in Japan and Korea. Stanley R. Rosen also served in Korea, as an in more...

Amos in Song and Book Culture
By: Rilett Wood, Joyce
Published by: Sheffield Academic Press

This study argues that the gist and movement of the prophecy in the book of Amos can be attributed to Amos himself, who composed a coherent cycle of poetry. His dire predictions came after the Fall of Samaria but before the Fall of Jerusalem. Writing a century later, the author of the book preserved but updated Amos' text by fitting it into a developing literary, historical and prophetic tradition. Amos is used as a test case to show that prophecy originated in the performing arts but was later transformed into history and biography. The original prophecy is a song Amos recited at symposia or festivals. The book's interest focusses on the performer and his times. more...

Anthropology and International Health
By: Nichter, Mimi; Nichter, Mark
Published by: Routledge

Recognizing the significance of cultural aspects in the practice of medicine, this book places a strong emphasis on the social structure, customs, and history of the indigenous population and its ramifications on health care providers. The book also considers the econo-cultural influences on the way medicine is practiced. By including chapters that focus on health care's sudden advent as commodity and the microeconomic approach to public funding for health care facilities, the Nichters explore a world in which money and patients' expectations play an ever increasing role in the way health care is provided. more...

Arafat and the Dream of Palestine
By: Sharif, B. Abu
Published by: Palgrave Macmillan, Ltd.

Bassam Abu Sharif was one of the most notorious and dangerous terrorists in the sixties and seventies, acting as “minister of propaganda” for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and as a recruiter for terrorists (including Carlos the Jackal). In 1972, a bomb was placed  in a book (the memoirs of Che Guevara) and sent to him, leaving him half-blind, deaf in one ear, and almost fingerless. He later became one of Arafat’s closest advisers and one of the minds behind the Oslo Peace Treaty between Israel and the PLO. This is his first-hand account of the inner-working of Arafat's regime, the PLO, Fatah and the relationship that allowed Abu Sharif to encourage important strides toward peace. In taking readers behind the scenes of all the major events in thirty years of Middle East politics, Abu Sharif delivers a unique living history of Palestine. more...
